This has been going on for almost a year. Supposedly we are within days of completion. (Of course they said it would be finished before Memorial Day...) They widened the street and put in new sidewalks. They totally re-did the road bed, one side at a time and installed storm drains (yes, storm drains - in Waldport). Now they are doing the final paving and re-doing the power lines for the new stoplight (yes- stop-LIGHT. We only have ONE). No longer will we have the quaint signals hanging from the power line, blowing the the gale force winds in the winter. We have stop light POLES, with the wiring INSIDE them. (You can see both in the picture. The hanging ones are still hooked up until they get the wiring complete. So our one little "controlled" intersection now has 16 - count them, 16 traffic lights! Beat that, Bountiful! It's too much development for me! Franchise fast food, traffic signal poles - where will it STOP! Poor little Wally-World....
