Rename Tozzer Blvd.

Without you, Jeff, this would not have happened!!!

I think the credit is owed to some curmudgeonly men too. As for renaming, I do NOT need to read a headline that says, "Tozzer had a bad accident." Or tell a lost delivery truck driver that he can "take it up Tozzer."

Has a nice ring to it!

It would be a fitting honorarium.

There is already a road named after a Tozzer. It would not be allowed by County Code.

That's my Dad's old development. He wanted to name it "Tozzer Meadows," but my sister and I begged him not to. I don't know why, now I think it would have been funny.

I will drive the road tomorrow, because it is ours, not theirs.

Congratulations, Jeff, Mr. Ash, the Peanut Gallery, and CC Watchdoggers! You deserve a celebration and a night of community. Thank you for your dedication, commitment, and selflessness. You make me proud to call Sequim "home." Blessings and grace to all.

I owe you dinner, Jeff! I never ever thought we would prevail over the Jamestown Tribe, arguably the most powerful entity on the Peninsula.

Money, political connections and tribal aspirations of “owning” Sequim have heretofore driven controversial projects like the MAT clinic, and the roundabouts.

We won Towne Road and everyone who fought for Towne Road and against business as usual in our county government should be proud. But a special hurrah for you, Jeff; our fearless leader and writer extraordinaire. Well done!

I didn't even want Towne Road open until you said you would buy me dinner if it opened. What I won't do for a free meal!

I wonder why the speed limit on Town Road between Old Olympic Highway to Woodcock is still 35. Does the speeding only occur north of Woodcock? You just have to wonder who is pulling the strings and to what end.

We drove on it yesterday, stopping at the dairy to buy some raw milk and cheese, then continued back on Sequim-Dungeness.

Congratulations to all who wrote letters, attended meetings, threatened lawsuits and tarred & feathered County Commissioners to see the project's completion. A special thanks to Jeff Tozzer, our activist hero who spearheaded the effort on behalf of Clallam County residents.

Glad you both drove on the road that you paid for, NOI. Thanks for the kind words... couldn't have done it alone.

Drove up TOWN road to the end. No longer Town road on the northend as Town rd is in front of the old schoolhouse. I'm glad the county could put up the new speed signs so quickly. Unable to get them to cut tree limbs on a bad corner at Kitchen-Dick and Woodcock for over 6 months of calls. But dang, new approved reduced speed limit make it in a week or less. Show where the priority is for some of our commissioners.

Thanks Jeff if it wasn’t for you…..

All I want to know is what is going to happen to all the tire particulates on every single road in Clallam County that flow into the gutters, gullies, and ditches that flow into creeks and streams that flow into the Strait, Sound & precious waterways? What is going to be done about this and based on the cost of Towne Road where is the money going to come from since the County is now facing financial crisis?

More on that Sunday...😏

Each and every particulate particle must be documented, looged, filed, and accounted for by Ozias!

Expand full comment

And all those greenie electric cars disperse more particulates than do gas powered cars because of the weight of the batteries.

We rode our bikes on it the morning after it opened! So nice to see the cows again at the creamery. Also super nice to get to Chi’s without having to go 5 miles out of our way. I really appreciate your tenacity on this project, Jeff. Three cheers to you!
