Unfortunately I know too many people that have lost their lives on this death trap they call a highway. I am scared to death to drive hwy 97 with my family in my vehicle let alone myself driving to work.PLEASE do something before someone else's loved one is lost. Need dividers south end to the north
Absolutely, as traffic volume has increased dramatically! Also due to a need for more safety barriers or a different alignment or separation may be required from Madras to Redmoond. Too many unprotected left turn roads leads to unsafe following or stops❗️
How many more people need to die, before ODOT and the power 's at be on the west side if Oregon pay attention to the safety issues on the central Oregon stretch of Hwy 97! Shame on you!!! Highway 97 is a death trap and ODOT KNOWS IT!!!!
All of Oregon's are highways dangerous.. most passes are two lanes and obviously we have snow..and distracted drivers, which makes head on collisions more likely. I have no idea why there aren't at least road dividers to prevent head on's. Too many deaths...
It's like a bottleneck of traffic thru there. Every time I drive thru, the traffic is really heavy. But trying to cross the highway going west or east is impossible. I usually turn the way of traffic then Take next exit to turn around and go the way I need.
That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!
If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!
Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.
As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
Apparently so, with the number of deaths in that stretch.
ReplyTo many peo0le are dying in that area
ReplyOur son Micah Borden died there in that same spot September 29,2022. Something needs to be done with that road. He was 23 and died on that road
