The Hood River City Council received a report at their meeting this week on intersections in the community, and six were specifically noted for potential areas of improvement to address safety concerns.  The intersections are at 12th and Belmont, 18th and Belmont, 13th and May, 20th and Cascade, 2nd and Oak, and 2nd and Cascade.  Of those six, only 18th and Belmont is controlled exclusively by the City, with the other five involving state highways and belonging to the Oregon Department of Transportation.  City Manager Steve Wheeler says they are taking steps to address some of these locations, an application for a Safe Routes For School program grant for the 18th and Belmont intersection, and they hope to have enough funds available to do improvements on 2nd and Oak.  Wheeler added the City has $750,000 in funds from ODOT for a major realignment and signal light for the intersection of Rand and Cascade.  The Council made addressing intersection safety as a goal earlier this year, and asked the staff to do more survey work with citizens to find other potential intersection problems.
