- Impact of traff is en Highway 12 <br />- Extension of physical portion of Willow as to: <br />A. Traveled portion (traveled portion is presently 24 <br />ft. with 3 ft. shoulder width south of County 6 and <br />20 f t. north c f County 6) expanded to 8 f t. shoulders <br />similar to ;ail low south of Watertwon - Ditches would <br />also be inclu.'2d if a rural section. <br />B. Right of Way increase from 66 to 80 ft.) <br />As an Alternate to using Willow as County 116 the County <br />may explore use of Old Crystal Bay Road from County Six south. <br />This could provide for a County Roar' 11 the way down to County <br />51.
