C h am b er M a in Street News Week of September 8 brought to you by The Heppner Chamber of Commerce (541) 676-5536 MAIN STREET WEEKLY REPORT ODOT Inspector Brent Reynolds reports that the project is moving forward and if the temperature specs hold, paving and major concrete work should be finished by the October completion date. Reynolds stated that Heppner has been the most supportive of all the projects he has been involved with. -CURB MACHINE will arrive this week. Set up of stnng for curb grades will be moving forward. The eastside will move slower than the westside since the bulbs will go in at the same time. -BULBS, BUMPOUTS, BUBBLES, your choice. Regardless of the name, these protrusions on each comer will be a safety asset for the Heppner business district. Their appearance will cause traffic to slow; parking areas will be more obvious; crossing the street will mean navigating 26 feet of street, rather than 68 feet, making the shortened pedestrian distance safer for everyone, especially handicapped, young children, and senior citizens. -WATER has been off periodically, and your understanding of the problems causing this has been most appreciated. If your water heater has no back-flow and problems resulted, please check with your insurance company. - LUMINARIES (decorative street lights) have arrived. The holes continue to be put in place. When both utility strips are ready and Weaver Construction gives the okay, the city will stand them in place. The only visible power lines on Main Street will be at May Street. Columbia Basin deserves recognition for making the wireless Main Street possible. It's going to look great. - CONCRETE WORK. After this week, sub-contractors will be completing the concrete work. The brick pavers will arrive soon for the utility strip. -TREES. Approximately 45 trees will be lining Mam and May Streets. All but 10 have been spoken for. Please drop by or call the Chamber off ice if you wish to "purchase" a tree. The trees (Century Crimson Norway Maple, Spring Snow Crabapple, Redspire Gallery Pear, and Chantilleer Pear) will be planted in the "bulbs" and the utility strips in the spring. Much research has been done on the tree species for the utility strip in Heppner. Top soil, which meets specifications, will be hauled in and there will be underground irrigation to the trees. In 1991, the trees began as a total Chamber project, but with the Main Street Renovation and grant process, the tree project is now part of the overall city project, meaning that bids must be taken by the city fpr purchase of the trees. The Chamber's role will enable the brick identification and the purchase of larger, sturdier trees. - MAIN STREET. Nine inches of asphalt with a two foot gravel base should make for a strong and lasting Mam Street. If certain areas do not meet specs for strength after a 28-day test period, then that portion will be redone. Please have patience. The end result will be worth it. -HARD HAT GREAT ESCAPE. Remind your customers to pick up their punch cards which make them eligible to win three nights at their choice of twelve luxury vacation sites, some within driving distance. The drawing will occur at a special celebration in late fall. The more punchcards, the more chances one has to escape. Vacation may be taken between November 1997 and November 1998. -KEVIN ERICH and his family will be greatly missed by the Heppner community. Erich has been a tremendous asset to the Heppner Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, contributing energy, enthusiasm, honesty and integrity during his years of service. Heppner's loss is another community's gam and we wish the Erichs well as they pilrsue new life adventures. Stepping in to f ill the board vacancy is Trish Sweeney, manager of Murray's Country Rose. Sweeney's retail expertise and creativity will be an asset to the Chamber Board of Directors. They look forward to working with her.
