We should focus on keeping trucks out of residential areas especially off dangerous roads like Fisher.<br /><br />This is a problem in Northeast Salem in general. When we lived on Park Ave we saw the same thing. Between Market and Sunnyview the street has no sidewalks and consists entirely of houses and apartments. We regularly saw trucks driving down the street and traffic regularly exceeded the posted 25 MPH speed limit.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592528272607114971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-2166419844247415702018-02-12T08:08:00.970-08:002018-02-12T08:08:00.970-08:00Here's a brief note and map from 2015 (down at...Here's <a href="http://breakfastonbikes.blogspot.com/2015/07/city-council-july-13th-council-goals-uber-vehicles-for-hire-fairview-demolition.html" rel="nofollow">a brief note and map from 2015</a> (down at the end of it) on the Fisher Road connection Susann references.

Two new stop signs along the section from Silverton Road and Sunnyview. But no new sidewalks and that is disappointing because of all the trucks that use that road.<br /><br />It is going to get worse too because next year the City plans to put through the connection of Fisher Road to Market Street, coming out in front of Fred Meyer. This has been on the books for some years and while it was not really supported locally, it was part of the old plant to restore the connection when I-5 was widened in the 1990s. Staff said it is needed so delivery trucks can use Fisher Road and avoid Lancaster Drive.<br /><br />Some wanted to have the project delayed or reconsidered and use the funds to put sidewalks on Fisher Road. City staff refused. So, now it is unclear how and when this street will be upgraded. <br /><br />Sad to see that a much needed improvement of sidewalks for safety is put behind making a connection that is not urgent can make the area even less safe due to more trucks.Susann Kaltwassernoreply@blogger.com
