With more tra c along Lake Olympia Parkway, city o cials hope to improve safety, tra c ow and tra c management, City Engineer Marcus Snell said. “As we manage the tra c via the signals and appropriate timing, it does help move things in a more orderly manner, which brings speeds back in line with the posted speed limit,” he said.
