Public invited to attend March 14, 2013, informational meeting at Myers
Elementary School.
The City of Salem has scheduled an open house to provide information and details
regarding the construction of the Eola Drive NW Corridor Safety Improvements
for Thursday, March 14, 2013, at 6:30 p.m., in the media center of Myers
Elementary School at 2160 Jewel Street NW. The City has received bids and
is in the process of awarding a contract to K&E Excavating, Inc.
Construction is expected to begin by mid-April 2013. Staff will be
available to answer questions regarding the project construction until 8 p.m.
The Keep Salem Moving! Streets and Bridges Bond, passed by Salem voters in
November 2008, included funds to widen the Eola Drive NW Corridor in order to
reduce congestion and improve safety. A copy of the vicinity map for this
project is provided with this notification.
Improvements for the Eola Drive NW corridor will include: two travel lanes,
curbs, sidewalks, bike lanes, and streetlights. Improvements will also
include left turn lanes at Kingwood Drive NW, Woodland Drive NW, Turnage Street
NW, Kaley Avenue NW, Eagle View Drive NW, and Sunwood Drive NW. The
project will also construct a new traffic signal at the intersection of
Kingwood Drive NW and Eola Drive NW.
Utility relocation efforts are underway in advance of the corridor
improvements. Motorists are reminded to use caution as this work requires
lane closures on Eola Drive NW. Travel lanes will be intermittently
closed, narrowed, and shifted to facilitate work within the construction
area. At times, flaggers will be present to control traffic. This
work will create traffic congestion within the area and motorists should expect
delays.

Willamette University Survey
Please help out a group of Willamette University students by completing the following survey:
These Willamette University students are in a
Communications and nonprofit marketing class and are working with Salem Friends
of Felines to get the word out about adult cat adoptions, and they need some
feedback from the Salem community to help us form their communication outreach.
The survey is very short, and the more responses they receive the more they can
learn about how to shape their campaigns. The students are also aware that most communities
want the number of stray cats in the area controlled, and they think the Salem community would like to know about Friends of Felines spaying/neutering services.
The students greatly appreciate your help in responding to their survey.
The students greatly appreciate your help in responding to their survey.
Fruit Tree Planting Work-Party
Fruit Tree Planting Work-Party
Please join Marion-Polk Food Share at our fruit tree-planting work party this weekend!
Open to the public – all ages and skill levels welcome.
This planting project is exciting for several reasons. First of all, Jardin de la Paz is located next to a food pantry operating out of the church, so the fresh fruit will be welcomed by the hungry families the food bank serves. Also, these trees were funded by a grant from the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon. Thanks to the HPSO’s generosity, we've planted over 100 fruit trees and berries in community gardens all over Salem and Keizer. Let there be fresh fruit for all!
Where: Jardin de la Paz (Garden of Peace) at the Salem SDA Church.
Enter the garden through the brick gate at 4625 Cordon Road NE, Salem. Drive
around the church to the community garden in the back.
When: Sunday, February 24, noon – 2 PM
What we’ll be doing :
Planting apple, cherry and plum
trees! Trees funded by the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon. We’ll also plant
blueberry bushes.
Bring:
Sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate
clothes, and a snack if you need it. Tools and gloves will be provided.
If possible, RSVP to imcdonald@marionpolkfoodshare.org
so we can estimate the number of tools to bring.
