create certain alternatives, Y-1, Y-2, Y-3 which will avoid the need to significantly widen
existing streets, and particularly Yelm Avenue New developments do in fact burden
the city's central streets, and unless the bypass alternatives are accomplished, the City

city plans show and the City finds that adequate facilities will be accomplished better
and in a timely fashion by bypass facilities as a substitute for the widening of existing
