From Lane County Public Works:

Greetings Beaver-Hunsaker Interested Parties:

Yesterday, Lane County set up a speed feedback sign (pictured to the right) on Hunsaker Lane. This is in response to the many concerns we heard during our planning process about vehicle speeds.

These signs have been proven to reduce speeds. Unfortunately, their effectiveness fades if they are in place for more than two weeks because they are no longer a new flashy feature that catches the driver’s attention. In our busy culture with many distractions, these signs become “white noise” if not moved around. Thus, this is not a permanent installation on Hunsaker Lane.

Over the coming months, we are going to be focusing this new equipment, which we acquired with a grant, on school zones. Click here for a news release about this broader effort to improve safety in Lane County.

Dear Beaver-Hunsaker Interested Parties:

Yesterday, the Lane County Board of Commissioners adopted the Beaver-Hunsaker Corridor Plan. A recording of the meeting is available via the following link: https://lanecounty.ompnetwork.org/embed/sessions/14283/board-of-commissioners-morning-meeting-august-22-2017?display_mode=year

This is an important first step in realizing physical improvements, as the plan articulates the existing transportation needs and provides broad guidance for meeting those needs in the future. This plan will help Lane County seek additional funding needed to refine the design concepts with the community and to work with property owners about ways to minimize impacts. For more information, visit the project webpage: http://lanecounty.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=3585881&pageId=4213762

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
