One bad year does not make a bad coach. Coach Tinkle approves of this message. And... one good year does not a good coach make. 😉 |

Would be interesting to see her coach in Corvallis...
But that's a bridge we don't have to cross for a while hopefully.

Our City Council doesn't have the common sense to get out of the rain. ODOT needs to tell those clowns to GFT. |

The essentially have. ODOT has said they're not dealing with the old bridge and if you want it, you need to pay to move it. |

ODOT people I talked to at a recent project meeting at the library told me they are committed 100% to a new bridge, ASAP. Hopefully they just tune out the idiots on the City Council. |

The new bridge is done. It is definitely happening. The issue is just what to do with the old one. ODOT is not coming up with the $12-$17 million needed to move it and set it up somewhere else. |

Maybe Benton County could pay to have it disassembled, moved, and reassembled somewhere on that useless rail spur they bought a few years ago for several million dollars. Some might consider it useful to have all the county's colossal wastes of money together in one spot for viewing. Along that same line, perhaps they could install it above the traffic circle on 53rd. |

Having grown up in a logging and ranching family I can think of a way it would have been dealt with 40 or 50 years ago. They would have just used dynamite to bring it down. We used it to take care of stumps, rocks and the occasional beaver dam.
Our neighbor had cannon, that would be a fun way to make the problem go away.
Ahhhh, the good ol' days.

Some might consider it useful to have all the county's colossal wastes of money together in one spot for viewing. Along that same line, perhaps they could install it above the traffic circle on 53rd. The 20-mile (approximate) railroad ROW cost $500,000. Someday it might make a wonderful rails to trails recreation area. As one who lives in NW Corvallis and regularly uses the traffic circle at the 53rd Street/West Hills Road intersection, it works wonderfully. I don't waste minutes waiting at a stoplight when no traffic is present, which often happens at the unresponsive lights at the at the Campus Way/53rd Street bikepath intersection, at the three-way intersection of 36th Street and Harrison or the four-way intersection at 35th and Harrison. As always, other's mileage may vary. |
