In order to avoid the congestion on Rd. 68 some people have decided to move away from that area. For some though moving isn't a great solution, so engineers and city planners are looking at ways to improve the Rd. 68 area. They have already added two turn lanes on the west side of 68 for those going westbound and eastbound. Now the city planners are looking at extending Rd. 100 which would provide another entrance to the freeway for those coming from more rural areas of Pasco. This would reduce the congestion on Rd. 68 by adding new ways to cross the highway. So far Rd. 68 is the only place to cross the highway or get on and off it.

There is talk of a major public works project for the Northwest that could help create close to 50,000 jobs. The plan to create these jobs would involve funding for the Bonneville Power Administration to expand their transmission system. In the Northwest Bonneville produces about one-third of the region's electricity, which comes from 31 dams along the Columbia River and miles of high voltage transmission lines. This possible project would fit hand in hand with the new government's support of green energy. The biggest energy source east of the Cascades is wind. There is about 2,000 megawatts produced in the Northwest; that is enough to power two cities the size of Seattle.
