Port of Hood River Commissioners gave their approval to an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation outlining terms and conditions for five million dollars in state funding for planning tasks to develop a plan to replace the Interstate Bridge.  The IGA now goes to ODOT officials for their signatures.  Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says the planning effort will begin immediately, starting with bringing in a project manager.  That will involve a public selection process that will see them under contract with an engineering firm by May or June.  A large portion of the state funding will go toward development of an environmental impact statement for a new bridge.

Klickitat County Commissioners have approved the County budget for 2018 and a road plan for the next six years.  The road plan is revised every year.  County Commissioner David Sauter says one of the projects that will enter the planning stages in 2018 will be upgrades to Courtney Road.  Sauter says Courtney Road is an old one-lane road that doesn’t meet current standards, but more and more people are using it for recreational purposes, adding fires in the Snowden area a few years ago highlighted how critical improving that road can be for emergency purposes as fire trucks were trying to go up it and horse trailers were coming down.  Sauter says part of the road is in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, so the permitting process figures to take a substantial amount of time.  There is about a mile-and-a-half of road to be improved.

The project to install a new field-turf surface and track at Hood River Valley High School’s Henderson Stadium will now start in May.  Hood River County School District Superintendent Dan Goldman says they considered April, but decided to wait a month to lessen the disruption on high school track program practices.  The goal is to have a grand opening at the school’s Homecoming next fall.  The installation schedule means a new site will have to be found for Hood River Valley High School’s graduation ceremony in June.  Goldman says high school administration is involving students in considering where to move that event.
