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.
