Work on Heppner's major ci
ty streets and the city's sewer
reconstruction are running
beyond the anticipated comple
tion dates. Both projects will
hopefully be completed in
August, but not as soon as
anticipated.
According to street engineer
Doug Ferguson, Mt. Vernon,
the base work on street
reconstruction is complete.
Underlaving of narrow strips is
scheduled for Ausust 10-11
with chip sealing to follow. Ma
jor asphalt paving will be
underway throughout fair and
rodeo week, with some
cleanup anticipated after
August 20.
Residents have had to cope
with parking and access pro
blems during this project.
Council members have receiv
ed complaints about dust pro
blems and access to private
driveways.
To solve drainage problems
from runoff on Gilmore Street,
a concrete curb was built on the
west side of that street.
Ferguson said that the area
behind the curb will be backfill

access will be acceptable, accor
ding to Ferguson. “ Let us
finish and the people will be
pleased,” he said, adding that
it was hard to explain the pro
cess to individuals.
Council members also ap
proved overlaying Minor
Street, a short street off Water
Street, that was cut from the
original project. City manager
Gary Marks said the cndition of
the street makes it too costly for
city crews to patch. Having
contractors do the job while
they are in the area will be less
expensive, he said. The an
ticipated cost is $3,360 which is
within the street improvement
budget.
