ODOT’s crossovers assist emergency vehicles To assist emergency vehicles during incident response the Oregon Department of Transportation is building Crossovers in several locations on Interstate 84. The crossovers will allow emergency response vehicles access to either the westbound or eastbound lanes of the interstate w hen responding to accidents or incidents. The crossovers will provide ambulances, police vehicles and fire trucks easier access to on and off ramps during emergency situations along Interstate 84 between Pendleton and Boardman. The crossovers are a commitment ODOT made to emeigency responders during meetings of the 1-84 Dust Storm Community Solutions Team. The team was developed in response to the multi-vehicle accidents that occurred last fall due to blowing dust west of Pendleton. The Hermision Maintenance Section is constructing five crossovers m the median along a 50-mile stretch of 1-84 from Rew Elevator west towards Tower Road near Boardman. The crossovers are designed tor emergency vehicles only The crossovers are 20 feet w ide and have a longer lasting surface made from asphalt grindings leftover from the Arlington- Tower Road pav ing project. Two other items ODOT is forking are freeway closure gates and highway advisory fadiQS. The,gates wjj| Jie placed arbn ramps to deter traffic from entering the interstate during periods of inclement weather and the radios will aiert motorists of deteriorating weather conditions. Several gates will be installed at on ramps along Interstate 84 from Pendleton to the Port of Morrow. These gates are designed to keep traffic from entering the interstate during periods of reduced visibility or when road conditions deteriorate due to snow and freezing rain. The ODOT District 12 Bridge Crew will build the ramps. Highway Advisory Radios will broadcast emergency weather information on a yet to be determined frequency. Radios will be located at the Pendleton ODOT Maintenance Yard and the Boardman Safety Rest Area Warning signs with flashing lights will be placed along 1-84 between Pendleton and Boardman to alert motorists of inclement weather and provide a frequency for more weather information When motorists are within a 20 -mile radius of Pendleton or Boardman they will be able to listen to emergency weather information on the car radio- installation of the freeway closure gates and highway advisory radios are dependent on the identification of funding sources. The freeway closure gates and Highway Advisory Radios will be funded by Oregon Emergency Management through the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program.

Your Chamber of Commerce encourages you to do so and to encourage others to register Deadline for registration to vote in the November 7 election is Tuesday. Oct. 17 Cards are available at all post office, county clerk offices, county courthouses. DMV offices, and many banks, libraries and government agencies. Let's show our county that Heppner votes It's your opportunity to have a voice in the future. The Chamber will soon be announcing the dates for the Candidates Forum. (I think the committee in charge is waiting to see which dates Bush and Gore have available.) The evening will be an opportunity to hear from local and regional candidates and to hear the pros and cons of many measures that effect our rural communities. Two of these are the C ounty Local Option Levy and Measure 97. the Trapping Ban. Watch for the date and be informed As we look at Heppner's future, we need to think outside the box. It’s exciting that young businesses are expanding in Heppner Let's help more to do so. Let's also learn to market what we have and grow from that Invite Dave Manuel to expand to Heppner. and why not? We are closer to the freeway than Joseph, much closer to the metropolitan area, need to expand our visitor industry and could certainly use 100 new jobs. As we hear of these opportunities, all should be explored. " If you dream it... " Next week is the monthly Chamber meeting when all entities report and the membership is given the opportunitv to inquire about all facets of our community. Good discussion follows. Come visit the Chamber, noon at Kate's. Thought for the week: "Nature couldn’t make us perfect so she did the next best thing: she made us blind to our faults."
