PAGE A6, KEIZERTIMES, APRIL 22, 2016 City updates traffi c counts for fi rst time since 2006 By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes It had been a while since the city of Keizer had done traffi c counts on some of the main ar- terials. How long? Let’s put it this way: the last time counts were done, Keizer Station wasn’t open. Bill Lawyer, Public Works director for Keizer, said that’s why the black hoses were seen throughout town last week. “The last citywide counts were done in April 2006 and are a bit outdated,” Lawyer said last week. Main roads in town like Chemawa and River Roads, Lockhaven Drive and Verda Lane had the hoses throughout last week. “It’s done on all of the ar- terials, but not too many of the collectors,” Lawyer said in reference to less traveled roads. “The only change to the cov- erage map from last time is the addition of Keizer Station.” Lawyer said such counts are not required by any govern- ment agency or regulation, but city offi cials regularly get re- quests for counts by businesses looking to possibly locate in Keizer, either at an existing location or a new location in Keizer Station. “We had thought about do- ing them again around 2010 and 2011,” Lawyer said about discussions he had at the time with city manager Chris Ep- pley. “We decided that with the recession, we probably weren’t going to be getting as accurate a count as we should. So we de- cided to wait.” The wait was fi nally over last year when Lawyer worked the updates into his budget for this fi scal year. “It was just a matter of tim- ing it into the budget,” Lawyer said. “I wanted the counts to be done in April, since the last ones were done in April. These counts will include Keizer Sta- tion. The last ones were done before there was Keizer Station. It wasn’t done at the time. Now it’s virtually built out. Now we will have a baseline count for police scanner • 7:10 a.m. - Arrest for warrant on 1100 block Alder Drive NE. • 2:24 p.m. - Arrest for mental hold on 3600 block Sandra Ave. N. • 4:16 p.m. - Theft on 6300 block Ulali Drive NE. • 8:30 p.m. - Arrest for shoplifting and unlawful pos- session methamphetamine on 3800 block River Road N. • 11:25 p.m. - Arrest for DUII and fail to perform du- ties of driver when property is damaged on Crater Ave. N. and Lost Lane N. MONDAY, APRIL 11 TUESDAY, APRIL 12 • 12:44 p.m. - Traffi c ac- cident on 3800 block River Road N. • 6:08 p.m. - Sudden death on 4000 block Arleta Ave. NE. • 6:19 p.m. - Arrest for warrant, unlawful posses- sion methamphetamine and property confi scated on 1600 block Lockhaven Drive NE. • 6:03 a.m. - Stolen vehicle on 1100 block Willow Lake Road N. • 9:11 a.m. - Unlawful en- try vehicle, attempt crime, criminal mischief and crime damage on 1300 block Can- dlewood Drive NE. • 12 p.m. - Burglary on 100 block Delta Court N. SUNDAY, APRIL 10 Keizer Station.” Lawyer said the numbers will be compiled and uploaded onto the city’s website so devel- opers and anyone else can easily access them. At the same time, city staff can also use the num- bers with an eye to future work. “We will evaluate the num- bers once we get them,” Law- yer said. “Let’s say we see a large increase on a minor arterial like Chemawa Road. If we see a major increase in traffi c, that might indicate we need to mark it as a major arterial like River Road is. It gives us the data to back up designations like that.” Kindergarten informational meetings set for May 10 All Keizer elementary schools are hosting an infor- mational meeting about all-day kindergarten in May.
