Western Lane Community survey available Ambulance now on ReVision Florence Florence Urban Renewal The ReVision Florence pursues levy Agency and the City of Outreach Survey is located Western Lane Ambulance District is seeking renewal of a five-year local option levy to maintain services for the district. Voters first approved the five-year levy in 2012 to fund the district’s operations costs. That levy is set to expire at the end of 2017. The measure before voters this November asks “Shall the district renew existing 45 cents per $1,000 assessed value for five years begin- ning 2017-2018 for emer- gency medical operations?” Interim District Manager, Brian Burright said, “This levy renewal will allow us to continue to provide the same level of quality emergency medical services.” The levy renewal will not increase taxes or fees. Florence are working with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) on ReVision Florence to provide streetscaping to the Highway 101 corridor. In 2018, ODOT will be repaving the segment of Highway 101 from the Siuslaw River Bridge to the Highway 126 intersection, and the Urban Renewal Agency has been working on a coordinating streetscape design project. As the agencies work through the ReVision Florence design process, they are seek- ing public input on the concep- tual design. Take the time to review the ReVision Florence project and fill out a short survey. Responses will be collected through Oct. 13 at 5 p.m. Section of North Fork Road reopens after 2015 landslide A section of the North Fork Siuslaw Road near Mapleton, just off Highway 36 between mileposts 15.7 and 15.9, has now reopened. The section of road has been closed after a landslide on Dec. 18, 2015. The area, located at the bot- tom of a large hill, was deter- mined to be too unstable to clear until dry summer condi- tions reduced the risk of addi- tional slides. Lane County crews worked this summer to clear the debris and reduce future landslide risk by removing trees above the roadway made unstable by the landslide and in danger of falling when the ground becomes saturated. online at www.ci.florence.or. us/urbanrenewal/revision- florence-outreach-survey.
