3. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2008 -079,
Directing the Permanent Closure of Wimp Way at the Intersection of U.S.
Highway 97.
George Kolb gave a brief overview of the item. ODOT requested the closure
due to accident history and the hazardous left turns. It will be available for
emergency services access. This is part of the reroute scheduled for 2009. It
will not be closed until the Lower Bridge Way project has been completed.
There were a lot of letters and comments against this closure.
Brian Pasley, ODOT; and Jim Bryant, Principal Planner, ODOT, came before
the Board. Mr. Pasley stated that there have been numerous public meetings
over the past two years, at Crooked River Ranch and in Terrebonne. He feels
that all of the questions and concerns were answered. There were no changes as
a direct result of the meetings, but the impacts of closing Wimp Way was
incorporated in the overall route improvement plan.
Commissioner Luke said that Wimp Way was partially closed when the railroad
bridge project took place. Some people still drove around the barriers. The
option for residents now using Wimp Way is using Lower Bridge Way in the
future.
Mr. Pasley said that this closure is needed due to the volume of accidents. It is
about ten times as dangerous for those movements at Wimp Way than at Lower
Bridge Way.
Commissioner Melton asked about the impact on residents in the area. Mr.
Pasley said that there are not that many residents living on Wimp Way, perhaps
ten. Commissioner Luke stated that there are other actions being taken. Mr.
Pasley stated they are closing a driveway in the vicinity, at the top of the curve
with poor sight distance. Another closure will be Barberry.
Commissioner Luke said that a classification of an expressway is desired by
ODOT, which means frontage roads would primarily be used and there would
be fewer roads directly accessing Highway 97. All of the cities along the
highway are supportive of this.
Commissioner Daly noted that he recalls that Wimp Way actually was Highway
97 at one time. Commissioner Luke said they ran into obstacles with the
railroad people in trying to develop options. Access on the west side of the
river is a possible option that is being investigated by Jefferson County.
Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Page 2 of 11 Pages
Commissioner Melton asked about the resident who has to close a driveway,
and whether ODOT is working with them in this regard. Mr. Pasley said that
they already have an existing access point that works better.
Hope Johnson, a resident of Crooked River Ranch and speaking on behalf of
the Chamber of Commerce and the Ultimate Exit Committee. She is also
speaking on behalf of Sheriff Jack Jones. She read a statement, indicating
various concerns, the biggest of which is ending up with just one exit since the
details of the emergency exit have not yet been worked out with the BLM. She
said they realize it is a huge problem, but feel closing the road is wrong and
about 5,000 people could be negatively impacted.
She added that they were involved in various meetings and had hoped their
concerns would have been given more consideration. This change could add
about four miles to people's commute.
Commissioner Luke stated that they are putting in a gate because of Mr. Jones'
concerns. All of the changes are being made for safety reasons. There have
been a lot of changes to the original plan. He added that he spent two years
working on this project and walked the area. There was a lot of interaction with
other counties, ODOT and the railroad to try to work something out. They are
still working on adding another exit. Ideally another bridge over the Crooked
River would help, but there is not sufficient funding for that kind of project.
Ms. Johnson said they have been pursuing grants as well to try to find a
resolution to the problem. Commissioner Luke stated that eventually there
could be an interchange at Lower Bridge Way.
Judy Callahan of Crooked River Ranch said it is safer to enter Highway 97
from Wimp Way than it is from Lower Bridge Way. Commissioner Luke said
the biggest concern is people stopping to turn left across the highway. Ms.
Callahan replied that most people going north on the Highway would turn
instead at Lower Bridge. She added that she would like to see a speed limit of
45 MPH between Terrebonne and the Crooked River Ranch. Mr. Pasley said
that by closing Barberry Lane, it will be possible to extend the merge lanes.
Ms. Callahan asked if there is something showing the actual number of
incidents. And she would like to see a signal light in Terrebonne, which would
benefit the school and would slow down traffic.
Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Page 3 of 11 Pages
Commissioner Luke stated this has been considered but it is nearly impossible
to get a light in an unincorporated area on a State highway. This has also been
an issue in Tumalo. A flashing yellow light is allowed, especially if there is a
school nearby.
Mr. Pasley confirmed that in regard to signals, they don't even come close to
being able to justify it. It could back up traffic into the two -lane section, and a
four -lane road would be needed to accommodate that.
Ms. Callahan stated that a signal is badly needed at O'Neill Junction as well.
Commissioner Luke said that O'Neill will eventually tie into the Redmond
reroute. Ms. Callahan said that at O'Neill and Pershall it is very hazardous to
enter the Highway.
Mr. Bryant stated that the TSP with Redmond has been completed and they are
considering a right in, right out, with eventually a bridge. The signal was
rejected. Ms. Callahan said that there is more traffic entering Highway 97 now
at that area due to the construction. Commissioner Luke noted that ODOT and
the City will be doing more studies and there will likely be more changes made
as needed.
Joanne Meisner, of the Board of Directors of Crooked River Ranch stated they
have letters of opposition regarding the closure of Wimp Way. She took
exception to the so- called open meetings of ODOT; she said she attended all
except one last week, and they usually will not take testimony. Lower Bridge
Way is hazardous for making a left, two directions coming down a hill and a
left turn lane going north, and the school buses have to make a left from Lower
Bridge Way onto Highway 97. Sometimes people have to wait a while to use
Wimp Way but it has better visibility. She said that ODOT is creating a
monster. They don't want people turning left onto Wimp Way, but could look
at correcting that problem by blocking it off partially but still allow a right turn.
Commissioner Luke said if a barricade is placed there won't be any way to
make a left onto the Highway. Ms. Meisner stated that perhaps a sign would
work. Or perhaps a left turn lane could be added, making it safer. With this
closure, everyone will be forced to use Lower Bridge Way.
Commissioner Melton asked how someone towing a vehicle can turn onto
Highway 97 off Lower Bridge Way. Mr. Pasley stated that they did traffic
counts and built a simulation model for peak times. The queue lengths don't
get too long but it does take some time to make a left turn.
Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Page 4 of 11 Pages
Commissioner Melton asked how they determine how long is too long to wait.
Mr. Pasley said they don't have a specific time for one turn but look at
functionality as a whole.
Commissioner Luke pointed out that the current configuration of Lower Bridge
does not fit well for traffic, but the new design should improve this situation.
Mr. Pasley said that Wimp Way would not be closed until ninety days after the
completion of the Lower Bridge Way improvements. If things are not
functioning as they believe they will, they can make changes at that time.
Commissioner Luke said they looked at putting in a 10th Street underpass, and
also looked at Eby. But funding ran out for ODOT.
Ms. Meisner stated that no matter how you figure it, you have to worry about
entering Highway 97 from Lower Bridge Way. People get impatient and make
bad judgments when they enter traffic.
Aaron Palmquist of Crooked River Ranch said that he appreciates the
opportunity to speak today even though the Commissioners did not have to
allow them to, but he feels the notice was not adequate. Commissioner Luke
stated that there were many work sessions with people from the Ranch and a lot
of testimony was already taken.
Mr. Palmquist said there is an alternative exit committee working on the issue,
and that process will continue. Commissioner Luke said that there are several
subdivisions in the County that have only one road out. The County is working
with others to make sure there is at least one other exit for emergency purposes.
Mr. Palmquist stated that the perception is that Crooked River Ranch is a
stepchild and does not get the attention that other areas do. The Ranch is built
out by about 60 %. The population could increase to 8,000 in the near future.
On West Lower Bridge, ODOT needs to be aware of a development at the old
dolomite area, and he predicts that Redmond will do a northwest run around
Terrebonne for growth and that traffic will end up on Lower Bridge Way. A
water main has already been put in that direction. A Sunriver type interchange
or overpass is needed.
He feels that more time is needed to analyze traffic counts, which should have
been done over a larger period of time instead of a snapshot. ODOT did not
like to change their approach. Traffic counts should be done at various times.
The accident rates do not show a significant enough problem to close Wimp
Way. The data points are very minimal now.
Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Page 5 of 11 Pages
He recommends that instead of closing Wimp Way, a test period of 90 days
should be given to make sure this is the right thing to do. The type of traffic
varies in different times of the year. There are a lot of part -time residents using
their property certain times of the year, and those people who tow recreational
vehicles.
In regard to traffic signals, ODOT has made it clear this is a closed issue. Mr.
Pasley said there is an existing light and ODOT does not want to replace it. The
Governor has mandated fewer lights for energy savings purposes and a definite
need has to be shown to do anything further. The existing light will be going
away eventually.
Mr. Palmquist said that it should remain and it is dangerous to remove it.
Perhaps someone else will pay for the cost if that is the issue.
He added that local representatives have been contacted and he would like to
see what these elected officials can do with working out something with the
railroad. Discussions are occurring and this is not completely discounted.
Perhaps the emergency exit could be through the State park. Commissioner
Luke stated that he has been involved with this for years and he tried to push
this through. The State Parks and the railroad have been approached and the
railroad does not want its right of way breached.
Mr. Palmquist feels that some time needs to be allowed for State representatives
to work with the State and the railroad. Commissioner Luke said that the
railroad is the hardest one to deal with but there may be a way to influence
them.
Mr. Palmquist added that at 19th and Wickiup, two new schools are going in.
Traffic will go to Highway 97 and it will become more hazardous. It seems that
this location would be addressed long before Wimp Way. He feels that more
needs to be done to look at the area regionally.
Commissioner Melton asked about traffic counts. Mr. Pasley said that they are
choosy about when they do the counts, usually over a 16 -hour period, and
adjust those numbers to the season and the local land uses. Those variations are
taken into account. ODOT plans out these types of projects over a long period
of time, usually five to seven years, contingent on funding. It is not meant to be
a twenty -year fix.
Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Page 6 of 11 Pages
Commissioner Melton would like to discuss some of the options that have been
presented. Commissioner Luke said that sometimes lights are not allowed and
there are ways that a highway operates efficiently and safely. Spacing is
important. All exceptions have to be justified. At times it is hard to deviate
from the rules that have been established. They may not always be reasonable
or logical, but they are the law.
In regard to the emergency exit, Commissioner Daly said it would not be for
everyday use. It would be through the BLM property off Lower Bridge Road,
used only in case of a wildfire. It is there already.
Commissioner Melton said that residents are concerned that this may not be
sufficient. Commissioner Luke stated that there is only one way out of Crooked
River Ranch. Commissioner Daly said that is actually at another subdivision,
Sherwood Estates, but Ice is before that. Work continues on finding an
alternative emergency exit. Commissioner Luke added that BLM and two
counties are involved so it is time - consuming.
Commissioner Melton asked about a light at Lower Bridge Way; if funding
allowed it, is it a negotiating point. Mr. Pasley said that if the intersection is to
be illuminated, it has to meet standards. Funding for long -term maintenance is
the issue.
Commissioner Melton said she gets the idea there will not be a formal
evaluation of Lower Bridge Way prior to closing Wimp Way ninety days later.
Commissioner Luke stated that when the improvements are done, you allow
enough time for people to get used to the change.
Commissioner Melton asked about the discussion between Bob Bryant, the
railroad and State Parks. Commissioner Luke said that the railroad right of way
is the biggest issue. Mr. Palmquist explained that those discussions continue
but are challenging.
Commissioner Melton asked if there would be any further studies. Mr. Pasley
replied they will be doing another speed study. Commissioner Daly observed
that ODOT does not have adequate funding and all of the suggested changes
require a lot of money. The existing project costs over $8 million.
Commissioner Melton asked what might happen if Wimp Way remained open.
Mr. Pasley stated that it is clear in the over two years it has been studied, it is
clear that accidents will continue to occur and the number and severity of those
accidents will increase.
Minuets of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Page 7 of 11 Pages
Commissioner Melton asked if a decision is not made today, if this will affect
the work that ODOT is doing. She would like residents to have more time to
comment and come up with other ideas.
Commissioner Luke said that this has come up in many meetings and has been
answered many times by ODOT and the County. There are people who will
never be happy with the closure. Safety improvements can't happen at both
Lower Bridge and Wimp Way. Highway 97 is becoming an expressway and
will only get busier. Accidents and fatalities will occur if safety improvements
are not made. If Terrebonne incorporates things could change. Partnerships are
needed but aren't there yet. Commissioner Bellamy knows the area well and
ODOT listened to him. Lower Bridge Way is not a good location but an
overpass is not possible at this time.
Commissioner Melton asked if it there is a way to leverage the need with the
secondary access, working with ODOT and the BLM. Commissioner Luke said
that these are two separate issues, and it took about twelve years to get the
emergency access out of Deschutes River Woods, plus money. This cannot
wait that long. He suggested that Commissioner Melton could take this on as a
personal project.
Commissioner Daly said that his perspective is this is a safety issue. It is the
most dangerous thing to do, making a left turn on a two -lane major highway,
hoping that the vehicle behind will see you stopped. This is a dangerous
location and after spending years as a patrolman, he has seen what happens
when these wrecks happen. This particular situation is the worst.
If his decision to close it saves even one or two lives, it will be worth it. There
will be a gate and a turnout for emergency evacuation. There may be changes
in the future but at this point it is the sensible thing to do. It will take a lot of
money to be able to do anything different.
Commissioner Luke said that there is a continual evaluation of the entire
corridor, as he sits in on those meetings. It is not like they take an action such
as this without considering it before, during and afterwards.
Mr. Bryant says that a speed study will be done, and over time the planned
improvements will help with safety. An evaluation of the corridor is ongoing as
there are always ways to improve it.
Commissioner Melton said she feels that perhaps the issue should be closed and
maybe there should not have been a hearing today. Commissioner Luke said
this was not a hearing but testimony was allowed out of courtesy to citizens.
