HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The Keizer City Council threw its support behind a plan to expand the urban growth boundary at its meeting Monday, Nov. 21. The expansion, if it receives approval from the Salem City Council and commissioners of Marion and Polk counties would accommodate a new bridge across the Willamette River just south of Keizer. “One thing that arose from the meeting we held on the issue in October was people asking us not to kick the can down the road,” said Mayor Cathy Clark. “Redundancy is a healthy thing. I really believe that we have to look at a robust system that looks at east-west movement as well as north-south. Let’s get this done.” The council generally voiced support for the plan to construct a new bridge spanning the Willamette River at Hickory and Pine streets in north Salem. The plans call for the annexation of 32 acres into the UGB to make way for the bridge and other connecting roads on the west side of the Willamette River. While UGB expansion is an integral part of accom- modating infrastructure up- grades to make way for a new bridge, there is not fi rm plan for when the bridge might be constructed. As of now, there is no funding to begin or complete construction. Lack of a concrete path forward gave Keizer City Councilor Mark Caillier pause during deliberations on the issue. He did not want to see Keizer paying for improvements in west Salem as part of the deal. “I want to pay our fair share and not someone else’s fair share,” Caillier said. As talks progressed, Caillier eventually sided with supporting the UGB expansion along with the rest of the council. Councilor Amy Ryan said her decision to support the expansion came as a result of talking with business owners that would be impacted. “The fi scal and physical impact to businesses are the voices that matter to me and every one I talked to was excited about it. It brings our community together and I think this is an important piece in our relationship,” Ryan said. Councilor Bruce Anderson also spoke in support of the action. “This is a vitally important project for the entire region, and for businesses and commuters throughout the area. This is one of many, many steps to come and we need to take it tonight,” Anderson said.

Goodpaster’s father told the Keizer- times that his son sought out the medical marijuana card to relieve knee problems stemming from an injury playing football at McNary High School. Goodpaster had also begun cultivating marijuana plants at his home. A family member told detectives Wil- son and Calloway came to her home the night of the shooting and described a drug deal gone bad in Keizer. Anoth- er man who ended up driving the two around town told cops he knew Wil- son and Calloway were in trouble and had “probably hurt somebody.” The two washed their clothing at his home before planning to leave for Los Angeles. Eugene and Keizer police offi cers ar- rested Wilson and Calloway before they could execute their plan. In May, Calloway was charged with murder, fi rst degree robbery and unlaw- ful use of a weapon in connection with Goodpaster’s death. looking back in the KT 5 YEARS AGO Library plans to expand The Keizer Community Library will nearly double in size as part of the upcoming changes at the Keizer Heritage Center.
