In light of the June time-
frame, is the funding a concern?
“It’s a concern for the proj-
ect,” Carlson said. “It’s not a
concern for me because I didn’t
take on this job with the idea
that it’s my job to raise the
money. I’m to give the tools
and structure so people on the
committee can raise the money.
It’s up to them to raise it. I don’t
take personal responsibility for
raising money. We have identi-
fi ed target groups to reach out
to.”
Mark Caillier, general co-
ordinator for the project – city
councilor Marlene Quinn is
chair of the task force – noted
the lack of work done in recent
months.
“I don’t think they’ve been
doing anything,” Caillier said.
“They put things on hold and
took a hiatus. They will have
to really push. We haven’t sold
many components. Am I con-
cerned? No. Bu I want them
to be successful in fundrais-
ing, selling components and
getting grants. I think the fi re
has caught. They will be doing
their thing.
“Some of what they were
hearing (last year) was we don’t
know where it will be yet,” he
added. “Then it was holiday
time. They know what their
timeline is and are hitting the
ground running right now…
Folks are thinking we don’t
have any time left. We do, but
we don’t have any time to
waste. We need to push it.”
“It will also be an asset for busi-
nesses on the other side of Area
B (bordering McLeod Lane)
once that is developed. When
(the city) did the Area B mas-
ter plan a few years ago, a fully
functioning intersection with a
signal was part of that plan. It
was just a question of when it
would be done.
“When the fi rst construc-
tion estimates came in from
the design team, they came in
higher than the actual cost,” he
added. “But since the estimates
came in higher, we had to look
at things to trim. That was one
of the items we initially had to
trim. The way it worked out, we
had remaining money. That is
the money that we will be using
to construct it.”
Sam Litke, senior planner for
Keizer, confi rmed a signal was
part of the plan from the start.
“The Area B master plan
was approved in 2010 and had
a condition that a signal at the
driveway to the transit district
would be required unless the
applicant can provide informa-
tion that it was not necessary,
which they did,” Litke said. “But
now they are fi nding that it is in
fact needed for the operation of
the transit buses entering and
exiting the site.”
Dickey said that indeed
played a key role in the tran-
sit district’s decision to do the
signal, which will also include a
pedestrian crossing.
“We are just starting the
planning phase for the design
KEIZERTIMES/Craig Murphy
Trees will start to be removed soon in the orchards at Keizer
Rapids Park, in order to get the space ready for the upcoming
Big Toy play structure.
Walsh noted elements such
as site location, design, the web-
site and costs have been fi gured
out and, as such, now is the
time to kick things up a notch.
“I think we are fi nally in a
position to go into high gear
to reach out to the commu-
nity for funding and to sign up
enough volunteers to build the
Big Toy,” Walsh said. “Overall I
am very pleased with the work
so far and the response of the
community. We have already in-
volved more people and raised
more money than any other
Keizer park project since the
creation of Keizer Rapids Park
itself. Now that everything for a
successful campaign is in place
we are now moving into high
gear to bring the fundraising
and volunteer campaign to the
community.”
With the holidays in the
mirror, Clarkson also feels
things will take off.
“We’ve got all the tools in
place,” she said. “Now it’s just
a matter of people going out.
Now that we’re moving into
spring, everyone will go full
bore.”
Other aspects are going full
bore as well. Caillier expects to
clear trees from the orchard site
where the Big Toy is being lo-
cated by next week.
But what happens if the
money is not raised by June?
Carlson deferred the question
to Caillier, who in turn de-
ferred to Walsh and Quinn.
“That’s a real good ques-
tion,” Caillier said.
Walsh sidestepped the ques-
tion.
“I am confi dent Keizer resi-
dents and businesses will come
through, as they always have
and we will have a wonderful
Big Toy this summer that we
can all enjoy for generations to
come,” Walsh said.
work,” Dickey said. “The big-
gest reason for that is right
now you can only enter one
direction. To exit, you have to
go right, go into the shopping
center and wind your way back
out. Not only is that an in-
convenience, but for a bus that
chews fi ve to seven minutes that
could be spent on routes. We’re
looking to do it to improve the
functionality of our system.”
The hope is for the improve-
ments to come this year.
“Our goal is to have it de-
signed and hopefully have it
constructed by the end of 2015,
if not early 2016,” Dickey said.
While adding a signal may
seem relatively simple, there
are a couple of complications
related to the existing signal at
Lockhaven and Chemawa.
“The City of Keizer and the
City of Salem are involved,”
Dickey said. “Salem is in control
of the traffi c controls. Keizer
contracts with Salem. That’s
why Salem is involved. This
would have to be tied into the
overall network of signals. We
need to ensure good traffi c fl ow
and to make sure it doesn’t cre-
ate a backup. For most of the
time, the light would stay green
on Keizer Station Boulevard.
The only time it would not
be is when you have a vehicle
there (at the transit center exit),
which would trip the signal in
sequence with the other lights.”
The divider in the middle of
Keizer Station Boulevard will
be removed and a new signal
opposite the transit center’s en-
trance put up, but not activated
until development takes place.
Dickey said the district
would pay for those future
improvements up front, with
the city paying back the dis-
trict within the next few years.
Those details are expected to be
worked on next week.
“The costs are to be shared
by the other areas of the Area
B, as the signal will benefi t the
remaining areas to be devel-
oped (which the city owns),”
said Nate Brown, director of
Community Development for
Keizer. “Because the cost was so
signifi cant, the council allowed
the signal to be phased since
the transit district was willing to
operate without it.”
The cost for the improve-
ments is unclear, but federal
funds will be utilized.
“We are still in the process
of working through cost esti-
mates,” Dickey said. “We have
to do independent cost esti-
mates. We have to contact other
agencies like cities and counties
and have them provide project
costs for similar projects. Before
we go forward with design and
construction, we have to look
at what those other costs are
and put together a ballpark es-
timate.”
