2410 Demaray Grants Pass OR 97526 RE Hwy 199 Expressway Upgrade Dear Cynthia Thank you for your phone call regarding the Hwy 199 Expressway Upgrade project You werecalling in response to our letter notifying you about surveying in along Hubbard and Demaray As we spoke on the phone the Hwy 199 Expressway Upgrade project is in a study phase to determine solutions for solving safety and congestions problems along Hwy 199 from Midway to the South Y Citizen Teams have been meeting for almost 2 years developing alternatives and narrowing the alternatives down
They have forwarded 2 alternatives for additional detailed technical analysis
each of which contains the same modifications in the Hubbard area
Specifically in your area the proposed modifications include
Traffic Signal on US 199 @ Hubbard
Improvements to Hubbard and realigning the connection to Demaray Adding a left turn lane on Demaray
NB
to turn north onto Hubbard
The Hwy 199 Expressway team will be releasing the draft project study Environmental Assessment for
public review and comment after the first of the year
I d encourage you to provide any comments
regarding the proposal during the public comment period
After the public comment period the Citizen Teams may make changes to the proposal based on the public comments
In addition ODOT staff will
respond and address the comments in the final study report due out in late spring
I am including the concepts that the teams are studying
The only difference in the two concepts is the modifications at Allen Creek and Redwood Ave they both have the same treatments along the highway and in the western section
