Roads safety plan addresses problem areas
Tribal Planning and the
Oregon Department of
Transportation presented the
Warm Springs Commercial
Safety Plan at Tribal Council
this week. Council approved
the document, meaning some
significant roadway improve-
ment projects can go for-
ward.
These projects—several
along Highway 26 in the
Warm Springs area—have
been planned for some time.
State funding is secured to
complete near-term work.
ODOT identified the various
sites needing improvement
based on a study of the num-
ber of accidents at particular
locations, and whether injury
was involved or just vehicle
damage.
The single biggest item is
at the Highway 26-Hollywood
Boulevard intersection by the
Shell Station. An estimated
$910,000 would be used to
improve the sight distance
from Hollywood, including
visibility of pedestrians and
bicyclists. This project would
involve a lowering of the
grade at the intersection.
Other larger projects are
at the intersection of High-
way 26 and the turn-offs to
the casino and the museum;
Fundraiser for memorial horse race
There is a food
fundraiser this Friday,
June 23 at the Greeley
Heights Community
Building from 11 a.m. to
2 p.m.
They are selling enchi-
lada plates.
This is a fundraiser for
the Jamie Tohet Chili Guy
Wild Horse Race Memo-
rial.
and at the intersection of
Highway 26, Highway 3 and
Paiute Ave. For the study pe-
riod involved, there were
eight crashes at the Paiute
Avenue-Highway 26 intersec-
tion.
Some of the work will in-
volve creating a safer walk-
ing area along Highway 26
from Hollywood Boulevard
to the casino-museum inter-
section. In all for the near-
term projects, which can be
done in a year or two, total
cost is about $1.8 million.
