To the editor: The Canby Herald recently had a very inform- ative story about the work that’s started along Highway 99E on three separate intersections in town. I’ve noticed the workers out there and was kind of amazed at how fast the traffic continues to be around the workers. Remember, those ODOT workers are here to try and help the city with traffic issues and to make our sightlines better by removing some of the wiring above the road. They are kind of at driver’s mercy in terms of them concentrating on the work. It is we, the drivers, who need to be patient and careful in and around those areas. I know that a large part of this issue is from commuters who are simply rolling through town on their way to work in the morning or heading home in the evening. Still, there are plenty of Canby area drivers who use the highway and will be driving by the workers during the months the construction is going on. It is my hope that if you read this, you will ONTHISDAY — March 26 think a little harder about being careful along 1484 - William Caxton printed his transla- east of Mississippi to Louisiana thought to orbit Mercury Highway 99E. tion of Aesop's Fables. 1804 - Territory of Orleans organizes in 1863 - Voters in West Virginia approve Canby is such a wonderful town with wonder- 1668 - England takes control of Bombay Louisiana Purchase gradual emancipation of slaves ful, caring people.
