With the big truck coming up behind, the image became an important part of the Tribe's application for a grant to widen and improve the street. The resulting $500,000 federal block grant is expected to be finalized soon and Grand Ronde Road is now slated for a two-year $2 million expansion. Safety features will include a wider road, new crosswalks, sidewalks and bicycle lanes. b$tM v& .1,, U-t -v '1 7 i -t 4 J 1 ' Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon 9615 Grand Ronde Road Grand Ronde, Oregon 97347 PRESORTED FRST-CLASS MAIL U.S. POSTAGE PAID SALEM, OR PERMIT NO. 178 OR HcWSPrtPER PRO J .
