On July 25, the City of Eugene applied to the Oregon Department of Transportation for $359,100 to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety on Bailey Hill Road.  4-J schools has commited to relocating the driveways to allow the changes to Bailey Hill Road, which will cost another estimated $250,000-$300,000.  If the everything falls into place, including passage by the voters of the road improvement bond issue this fall that would pay for the reconstruction of Bailey Hill Road between 18th and Bertelson, the reconfiguration will take place at the same time as the reconstruction in 2010.   A copy of the City's application and two possible reconfigurations is available on the Public Works Website at [0]www.eugene-or.gov/pwprojects [1].  Look for the link to "Bailey Hill Road."     Thanks to everyone in CAN who supported this effort to improve the safety of this major transportation link.
