Planning session for Wee Bit O’ Ireland to be held A planning session to gather fresh ideas and new volunteers for the Wee Bit O' Ireland festivities to be held St. Patrick's Day weekend will be held Tuesday, Sept. 19 at 4 p.m.. at City Hall in Heppner. Everyone is invited to attend and encouraged to bring any ideas. SPRUCE LANE TO BE ONE WAY STREET ONLY This is to notify you that as of September 28, 2006. Spruce Lane in Heppner will no longer be a two way street. After due consideration of several traffic issues with this street including road width, guard rail and drainage which were brought to our attention at the spring Morrow County Road Committee meeting that was held May 1. 2006, we have concluded that the best and most affordable correction to the problems is a re-designation of Spruce Lane as a one way street. This plan was reviewed and approved by the Morrow County Court at its August 16 meeting in Heppner. Spruce Lane will upon posting on September 28,2006, be a one way street going SOUTH or UP THE HILL to the Heppner High School. We sincerely hope that any inconvenience to the motoring public will be offset by the increased safety. This will allow a pedestrian and bike lane as well as the installation of new guard rail. We encourage people to begin planning on the re designation now in order to minimize any confusion on September 28. 2006 when it is officially posted. For q u e stio n s, c a ll 989*9500.
