CHAMBER MAIN STREET NEWS
OPENING WEEK OF HUNTING SEASON,
1997
brought to you by The Heppner Chamber of
Commerce (541) 676-5536
MAIN STREET WEEKLY REPORT
-TONY GEORGE, ODOT; Brent Reynolds, ODOT, and Lamar
Bowles, Weaver; attended the Monday meeting. Their desire is to
represent the best interests of the town as well as the project.
ODOT is willing to give a "stop work paving notice", with the
understanding that weather could mean the difference as to
meeting the deadline for the paving this fall.
- MAIN STREET PROJECTS create flexible and frustrated
reactions. No one could have anticipated the unknowns with the
waterlines, sewer or the many other glitches that have held up the
project. The question of the day is "Does ODOT stop for the hunter
traffic or pave?" Input at Monday's meeting determined the
direction to be taken. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. And now
for the rest of the story....
- PAVING CONSTRUCTION TO STOP Thursday and Friday
other than some sidewalk work north of Northwestern Motel and
RV. ODOT and Weaver Construction showed respect for the
merchants represented at the Monday meeting who expressed the
need for hunter access to their businesses this week. "It's a make
or break weekend for many businesses," stated one merchant.
Paving target dates have been moved to Oct. 6-9.
-NO PARKING IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE. There will still
be NO PARKING on the eastside in the construction zone because
it is ready for paving to occur the first of next week. An excess of
trailers and pickups causing ruts could set the paving back further.
City officers will be encouraged to assist visitors in finding
parking and to remind them of the construction zone.
-DON’T PUSH THE PANIC BUTTON. What appears as
extended curbs will in reality be part o f the street when the final
lift is put on Main and May Streets. This should add at least
another three to four feet to the width.
-WEAVER CONSTRUCTION TO HAND OUT FLYERS
Thursday from 1- 6 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. west of
Heppner on Highway 74. Why there? To give hunters time to read
the welcome f Iyer, locate the places they wish to stop and shop
and understand the parking map. This flyer is made possible by
your Chamber of Commerce in the hope that hunters will seize the
moment to satisfy their hunger and shopping needs before heading
for the hills. Hunter's breakfast at the Elks is open to all.
-WALK TO WORK FRIDAY. Owners, employees, one and all
are highly encouraged to walk to work (or park and walk a few
extra blocks) to'leave the parking for hunters on Friday. This will
free up parking lots along the back streets. The success of a
community depends on customers. Hunters are an important part
of the merchants cash flow in Heppner, which helps keep our
community alive and well. Welcome them, invite them back to see
the finished product and assist them in filling their needs while in
town.
-COOPERATION from the county staff in the Gilliam/Bisbee
Building and the Heppner Ranger District will open up more
parking behind the Elks.
-QUESTION OF THE DAY...What is that thing? Focal point
seems to be the "bulb" in front of Bucknum's. Handicapped access
with landscaped middle of the block crossing is the answer.
Another piece of the puzzle.
-CHAMBER AMBASSADORS continue to deliver the Main
Street news and kisses. Please let them know their volunteer time
is appreciated when they pop into your business. We all need to be
ambassadors during hunting season and throughout the year.
Experiences in other communities are great teachers. What do we
remember? Was it the positive smile, the offer to help, the sharing
of information, the interest in you, the smile on the street or was it
a negative experience? Much of the success of a community is
determined by how people feel when they leave. Everyone of us
has a part in making them wish to return to Heppner.
