Wednesday, October 25, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon TRAFFIC: Public will have chances to weigh in on plans Continued from page 1 City Council member, raised the question, “Why would we direct bikes and pedestrians to where we’re sending the trucks?” The separate bike/pedes- trian path could hold up the realignment process, while waiting for funds for a mul- tiuse path. The path would require more right-of-way acquisition, meaning more cost. Chuck Humphries, repre- senting the bicycle interests, pointed out that if the City wants to encourage alterna- tive modes of travel, then it is necessary to provide the path so employees who work in the industrial park could bike or walk to work. Public Works Director Paul Bertagna clarified for the committee that sidewalks would be installed as part of the redevelopment along Barclay. As businesses go in, they pay for the installation of sidewalks along the front of their property. One committee member raised the question of where would the separate path lead and how would it connect with existing bike routes already in use. Bertagna asked for clari- fication about extending the proposed three lanes on Barclay past North Pine Street, all the way to the roundabout at Highway 20. It was agreed that extension made sense with the future development of the new U.S. Forest Service headquar- ters and possible develop- ment of the current Forest Service property when it sells. Kittleson presented four draft concept drawings for mini and single-lane round- about options at US 20 and Locust. The mini round- about could be completed in a relatively short time period and would have a small price tag of several hundred thousand dollars, as it would not require any right-of-way acquisition of land. The concept drawing for a large roundabout on the trian- gle of land between Highway 20/Highway 126 proposes direct access to Buckaroo Trail and the FivePine cam- pus, with the eastern arm extending into the current Oregon State Parks and Recreation land between Highway 126 and Creekside Drive. This would be a much larger project, requiring mil- lions of dollars, so the time- frame on this project extends a number of years into the future. d n a e af een!
