Page 2 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon 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.
