Pond
moved for road
Excavators have moved the pond
at the Best Western Ponderosa Lodge at the west end of Sisters to make way
for a new road intersection with Highway 20.
The new Barclay Road extension
will run across Forest Service property to link the Sisters Industrial
Park with Highway 20. The pond was previously situated in the way of the
intersection.
According to city planner
Neil Thompson, the Barclay Road extension will be in place by November.
The final cost is expected to be $840,000, funded through grants. The
City of Sisters put up $10,000 (some through in-kind services), mostly
to fund an environmental assessment.
Another new road, called McKinney
Butte Road, will start at the same intersection and run south-southwest
to the new Sisters High School.
The school district is responsible
for having the road in place when the school opens in Fall 2003.
