Wilsonville Road Traffic Concerns Addressed

The long-planned bypass for Highway 217 will stay on schedule, thanks to a new compromise reported by The Portland Tribune.

There had been concerns that the Newberg-Dundee bypass would flood Wilsonville Road with traffic.

That led the Ladd Hill Neighborhood Association to speak up, forcing a chain of events involving negotiations with the association and representatives from Wilsonville, Clackamas County, Newberg, Yamhill County, and he Oregon Department of Transportation.

The compromise calls for a new intersection to be built that all hopefully ease the concerns of increased traffic on Wilsonville Road.
