UPGRADES: More than 700 bridges Oregon State tuition hike vote
need to be seismically retrofitted
postponed due to protesters
Continued from 1A
tion and Modernization,
each working on different
aspects of the package. The
other groups are coming up
with suggestions for easing
congestion,
improving
pedestrian
and
cycling
commutes, coming up with
accountability measures and
addressing air and rail needs.
The four other groups will
report their recommendations
tentatively by April 3.
“We have never done
a process like this where
we have negotiated a giant
package functionally in
public, and pieces are going
to come and go,” Johnson
said. “We’ve got a long, long
way to go.”
After hearing the five
reports, the full committee
of 14 members will have to
reconcile the recommenda-
tions into a transportation
package, expected to send
hundreds of millions of
dollars for projects to the
Oregon Department of
Transportation.
“That just exacerbates the
conundrum that all of us are
faced with of putting together
a package,” Johnson said.
About 33 percent of the
road pavement in Oregon is
in fair or worse condition and
will need replacement soon,
according to ODOT.
More than 700 bridges in
the state need to be seismi-
cally retrofitted — at a cost
of $5 billion in the next 20
years — to avoid collapse
in the event of a major
earthquake, the agency esti-
mates. Currently, the agency
upgrades only three bridges
were year, said Paul Mather,
ODOT’s Highway Division
administrator.
The biggest driver for
upgrading the bridges is “the
long-term economic effects
we are going to have on our
economy,” Mather said.
“We have seen disasters
like Katrina and others, and
this is going to be on a bigger
scale than that,” Mather
said of a major earthquake.
“You’re going to have
industry … to leave state …
if we don’t have ways for
their workers to get to work,
their goods and services to
get out to the marketplace.”
The
subcommittee
focused
on
economic
lifelines in the Portland
metro area and looked for
ways to continue mobility
throughout the state through
north, south and east connec-
tions.
BRIEFLY
Youth coach
charged with
sexual abuse
LINCOLN CITY (AP) —
A youth coach in the coastal
town of Lincoln City has
been charged with more than
two dozen sex crimes.
KATU-TV reports
22-year-old Tyler William
Lopez was charged Monday
with sex abuse crimes
involving seven boys.
Lopez worked as a
football coach at Taft High
School in Lincoln County,
and as a baseball coach at
Lincoln City Youth League.
Officials say he passed both
background checks.
Lopez’s bail was set at
$1.5 million and he remains
in jail.
Lincoln City Police
believe there may be more
victims or witnesses and are
hoping they’ll come forward
to speak with investigators.
Anyone with information is
asked to call Lincoln City
police at (541) 994-3636.
The Oregon State Medical
Examiner is awaiting
toxicology results before
determining the cause of
death.
Homeless man

Corrections
adjourned and announced
it would be rescheduled at
a later date.
“They are not listening,
they are leaving,” the
protesters
chanted.
“Shame, shame, shame on
you.”
Among
several
demands, the protesters
want to stop the tuition
increase and halt pay raises
for administrators. They
said employees earning
more than $150,000 a year
should take a voluntary pay
cut.
“We are escalating our
actions today because
business as usual is
unacceptable,” the group
chanted. “In past attempts
to communicate through
official channels, our
concerns have repeatedly
gone unaddressed and
unnoted.”
The board’s decision
to adjourn was under-
standable, said Candalynn
Johnson, executive director
of government relations
with
the
Associated
Students of Oregon State
University, OSU’s student
government.
“They
obviously
couldn’t have talked over
the students,” Johnson
said. “I hope they see
what happened as an act
of desperation and feeling
silenced.”
Joshua
Kaufman,
speaker of the house for
the university’s student
government, said the
protesters
had
good
intentions, but he was
disappointed with their
actions. He noted that
a committee originally
considered a tuition hike of
around 12 percent and that
was reduced after listening
to students.
“I think this was moving
in the right direction and
I think this disruption
came at the wrong time,”
Kaufman said. “After all
of these progressive steps
have happened, to come in
(and) disrupt the meeting
and make it so they can’t
vote just seems silly and
almost counterproductive
to me.”

PORTLAND (AP) —
Police say a homeless man
was found dead inside a tent
along Interstate 84.
Portland police Sgt.
Pete Simpson says officers
discovered the man last week
while conducting a welfare
check. Officers opened
the tent after getting no
response and found the body
of 32-year-old Christopher
Martin.
Paramedics revived a
small dog that was inside
the tent and suffering from a
medical problem.
The story “41 years in the field,” about Alan Kendrick,
published Friday, March 17, 2017, contained an error. The
American Association of University Women (AAUW),
Pendleton Branch, was the primary service organization
sponsoring and leading the initial build and the re-build of
Pioneer Park Playground, not Altrusa.

CORVALLIS (AP) —
The Oregon State Univer-
sity Board of Trustees post-
poned a vote on a possible
tuition increase after its
meeting was disrupted by
protesters.
The board planned to
vote Friday on a proposal
to increase tuition by 4
percent for resident under-
graduates and 2 percent for
nonresident undergradu-
ates, the Corvallis Gazette-
Times reported.
Instead,
the
board
adjourned
after
the
protesters marched into the
meeting room, locked arms
and chanted demands.
An Oregon State Police
trooper monitored the
demonstrators but made no
arrests.
The board reconvened
almost 90 minutes later
with the protesters still in
the room.
Board Chairwoman Pat
Reser gave the protesters
15 minutes to comment.
But the group continued
chanting, at which point
Reser declared the meeting
