Board approves Anderson Perry work order to redesign Leap Lane–North Highway intersection
Summary
Wallowa County commissioners approved a work order with Anderson Perry for design, construction planning, and environmental studies at the Leap Lane connection to North Highway, calling the site "one of our most dangerous intersections in the County."
The Wallowa County Board of Commissioners authorized a work order with Anderson Perry on Feb. 4 to design improvements, develop construction plans and complete environmental studies required by ODOT for the Leap Lane connection to North Highway.
Commissioners described the intersection as a county safety priority: "this intersection where Leap Lane accesses the North Highway is one of our most dangerous intersections in the County," the board stated during discussion. Commissioner Hayward moved to approve the work order; Commissioner Collier seconded and the motion passed with all commissioners voting in favor.
The board also discussed related transportation needs including a condemned bridge on Big Sheep Creek and ongoing work on Caudle Lane, indicating multiple near-term road projects on the county's list.
Why it matters: the work order advances design and permitting steps required before construction and addresses a site identified by the board as having elevated safety risk.
