6 - SANOY (Oca ) MOST Thvc» Oct i 1. 1 9 7 9 (Sac )) Hoodland residents circulate petition An increase in highway accidents has prompted alarmed Hoodland residents to circulate a petition to the State Highway Division to widen Highway 26 The Highway Division will begin drafting a new six-year plan later this winter. The Hoodland Chamber of Commerce — the leader in the petition drive — thinks the state should get serious about its plans to improve the Hoodland corridor At issue is the number of accidents reported in the Hoodland area. P etition boosters cite inaccuracies in state rep orting they say tends to downplay a safety- crisis. Hoodland F ire D is tric t reports indicate 145 traffic accidents from Jan. 1,1978 to Aug 30. 1979. The reporting areas extends from Alder Creek to Map Curve near Government Camp Some 180 persons in these accidents, according to fire district reports, required an ambulance and 20 persons died. Eleven persons have died this year alone, ac cording to the fire district. State figures suggest that only three died last year on that stretch of the Mt. Hood Highway, and that only four liave died this year. H o o d la n d C ham ber President R ick Scott, manager of a Hoodland bank claims the State Highway D ivisio n 's reporting per p e tu a te s in c o m p le te reporting by the state police ‘Recently our bank had a call in to state police," Scott said, “and it took 57 minutes for the first patrol car to pull into our parking lot. You have to wonder what kind of reporting they have when it takes them that long to even respond to a ca ll." Scott said that ap KNOW SOMEONE NSW C all N ew com ers S e r v ic e ............... G reeters p ro v id e The Hoodland Chamber of Commerce and other con cerned residents have won one small concession from the Highway Division — an agreem ent that the in tersection of Highway 26 and Welches Road at Hoodland P a rk Plaza w arran ts a tra ffic light So far, however, the light is on hold. The Hoodland request ranks 43rd on the list of State Highway Division p rio ritie s , some im provement from its position a dozen rungs up the ladder last year. The state has made other more tangible concessions for safety on the mountain highway, which Scott readily admits. These include brake check areas for trucks and slow down signs for trucks at Government Camp. Also planned by next fall is an escape ramp for trucks on map comer, so they can run the ramp, "instead of run ning over people,” Scott quipped. W elches The State Highway Commission about 10 years ago acquired right of way to widen the highway from the east Brightw ood cu toff through Rhododendron and has owned the right of way since th a t tim e w ithout m aking the planned im provements.
