Along with our monthly board meeting we will be hosting a Road Safety Meeting this Wednesday July 14 at the Community Center from 6-8. Please come and hear/share you concerns regarding the increased road speed and decreased visability on Cook Underwood Road.
Some road safety concerns are:
– more speed limit signs on main road and side roads
– perhaps 35 mph signs around couple of corners
– caution- blind pull-out signs before Kollack/Knapp, Hawkins Winery and Cooper Avenue
– more frequent speed observation by county officers
– perhaps mirrors on a couple of curves
– perhaps speed signs visible as leaving wineries so that tourist are
reminded
– increase of guardrails on top at west end of Underwood
– what are the guidelines as to when to decide to gravel during icy
weather?
If you cannot attend the meeting and have additional concerns, please email the Underwood Community Committee member Kathy LaMotte – salmon@gorge.net – and they will be sure to bring up additional concerns.
