AROUND,
continued from Page A1
lines during peak morning
and evening commute times,
particularly on Chemawa
Road.
When
the
city's
Transportation System Plan
was updated in 2009, it was
suggested the intersection be
upgraded to either a signal or
a single lane roundabout.
“It was determined that
the cost and benefi ts of
constructing a roundabout
were better served than
constructing a signalized
intersection,” Lawyer said.
The project is a partnership
between the city and the
Oregon
Department
of
Transportation.
“The closure of the
intersection is necessary to
effi ciently and cost effectively
construct the new roundabout
and it was also determined to
be the safest option for the
contractor and public,” Lawyer
said. “Detours will be posted
and traffi c signs, message
boards and fl aggers will be on-
site as needed to direct traffi c.”
Project
plans
and
development were done by W
& H Pacifi c of Salem while
North Santiam Paving of
Stayton is the contractor. The
projected construction cost for
the project is $838,731 in local
and federal funds.
That cost was about
$140,000 less than originally
estimated. The bids were
opened in November. The
total cost for the ODOT
project is approximately $1.8
million.
Lawyer said city staff were
involved starting in June 2011
The project was delayed twice.
CRIME,
continued from Page A1
moment: trying to make sense
of an otherwise random – yet
still small – accumulation of
violent crimes in Keizer.”
Teague emphasized some
members of the Keizer Police
Department have a specifi c task
in regards to crimes.
“They are pretty good at
fi guring out root causes for
crime – looking for what’s
common amid the apparent
randomness – and then fi xing
those problems and preventing
crimes from happening,” he
said. “We cops will remain
profi cient
and
attentive,
working to squash these things
as they happen, even if they’re
random enough that we can’t
predict and prevent them,
keeping them from spilling
over too intimately into the
lives of the norms-following
public.”
Teague, who also touched
on the issue at Monday's Keizer
City Council meeting, said
there is some simple advice to
follow.
“People need to remain
prudently careful and aware, but
they don’t need to worry,” he
said. “Life is risky, but the risk

of being the victim of a violent
crime is almost negligible if a
person doesn’t engage in high-
risk activities.”
According to the KPD, last
Sunday's shooting was reported
at 2:17 a.m., though one
neighbor told the Keizertimes
about being awakened by
the shots at 1:43 a.m. Deputy
Chief Jeff Kuhns with the KPD
said the victims did not call the
police until 2:17, though an
initial call of shots being fi red
came at 1:54.
Margarito Galvez Jr. said he
was at a nearby friend's house
when his sister called him.
Galvez said it took him about
30 seconds to get home.
Galvez said his wife, two
young daughters and his sister
were at home at the time. He
said shells from a gun were
found.
According to Galvez as well
Galvez noted a Honda
was parked head-fi rst in the
driveway. The car was hit
by several bullets, with one
shattering the back window.
A shot also hit the windshield,
with one of the bullets hitting
the driver's seat headrest.
Galvez also showed the
Keizertimes bullet holes in the
front of the house. One hit the
front window, while another
hit right below the window
and went through a couch
positioned in front of the
window.
“The fi rst thing that caught
my eye was the back window
(of the Honda),” Galvez said.
“Then I saw the bullet holes
in the house. It's scary. I'm from
Los Angeles. I moved here to
get away from this (stuff). This
is scary.”
Galvez said he's currently on
probation but isn't mixed up
with a bad crowd.
“I don't do drugs, I don't
owe anyone anything,” he said.
“My neighbors see me out here
and see the things I'm doing. I
pressure wash my driveway and
I mow the lawn. I'm trying to
be a good neighbor.”
Anyone with information
about Sunday's shooting is
asked to contact detective
Arsen Avetisyan with the KPD
at 503-390-3713 Ext. 3514.
as the KPD, no one was injured
in the shooting.
“No arrests have been made
and the incident remains under
investigation,” the release said
in part.
Kuhns said a vehicle was
spotted, but cautioned there's
no confi rmation it was in
connection with the shooting.
“There was a report of
a black vehicle speeding in
the area, but at this time I am
hesitant to call it the suspect
vehicle,” Kuhns said on Monday.
“There is no other information
about the suspect(s).”
Galvez said based on the
location of where the shells
were found, he didn't think it
was a drive-by shooting. He
noted he had no idea who
could have done the shooting.
“The guy was here in the
driveway,” he said. “The guy
was here to do whatever the
hell he was here to do.”
Galvez noted he was looking
at buying his house, but wasn't
sure if the shooting would
change those plans.
“If I ran and they keep
chasing me, that won't do any
good,” he said. “I want to help
the cops fi nd whoever the hell
it was. I had (an infl atable)
swimming pool in the front
yard. If I wanted trouble, I
wouldn't have that.”
