Only one inconvenience was caused by the construction: four handicapped parking places had to be moved to behind McLoughlin. Which, according to Stan Johnson, director of public safety, has not affected the handicapped students very much. “It took about a week for everyone to get used to it. It has worked really well,” said Johnson. CCC will pay around 35% of the $130,000 for the new bus turn around. The state of Oregon will pay 65% of the project’s cost, according to Fisher. There is also a possibility that a new covered bus stop for the turn-around could be constructed in the next couple of years. “I feel good about it,” said Fisher when asked about the construction of the new bus turn around.
