Speed on Necanicum Drive will be reduced to 25 mph.
Speed slowdown coming
to Necanicum Drive
By R.J. Marx
Seaside Signal
The Seaside City Council
slowed trafic at its last major
downtown thoroughfare, from
35 to 25 mph.
Acting on a request from
the Seaside Transportation
Advisory Commission, where
Chairman Terry Hartill rec-
ommended lowering the speed
limit along Necanicum Drive
from First to 12th avenues.
“It’s the last street at 35 in Sea-
side, and we believe it’s a little
fast for the city,” Hartill said at
the June 27 council meeting.
Goodman Park, the Seaside
Museum and the Inn at Seaside
are all along the street, he said.
There is only an east sidewalk,
forcing pedestrians to the road-
way.
“I disagree with you total-
ly,” Mayor Don Larson said
in opposing the speed-limit
reduction. He said he did not
want to “putter along, putter
along, putter along. I think it’s
much too slow.”
Other councilors, however,
endorsed the measure.
“That’s my neighborhood,
I drive it every day,” Coun-
cilor Tita Montero said. “I’m
totally in favor of it.”
“The only way this will
work is enforcement,” Jay Bar-
ber said. “It’s just a straight-
away without any limitation.”
Police Chief Dave Ham
said blind spots along the
roadway make it dificult for
drivers pulling out from side
streets. He said there are no
other streets with a 35-mph
limit in the downtown area.

Volunteers and students at work painting the Seaside Museum and Historical Society.
Volunteers and students from the
Tongue Point Job Corps took hold of
paint brushes and got to work June 22 at
the Seaside Museum and Historical So-
ciety and neighboring Butterield Cot-
tage. The Necanicum Drive buildings
received a makeover courtesy the team
and 15 exterior gallons and ive gallons
of trim courtesy of Sherwin Williams
Co. in Gearhart, which donated all paint
and material.
The student team was led by Tongue
Point Job Corps painting instructor Tan-
dy Sturgeon.
“After a year with Tandy, they can
go out and join a union, go in as full-
trained painter making $15-20 an hour,”
Scott Carlton Dyer of Sherwin-Williams
said. “It’s an awesome opportunity for
students to learn new skills.”
The Butterield Cottage is the only
beach cottage museum in Oregon. The
Seaside Museum & Historical Society
interprets the Butterield Cottage to the
era circa 1912. The museum is open for
visitors Monday through Saturday, 10
