Another View of Waldport

I mentioned how surprised I was to have a traffic jam in Waldport. Here is a view of the typical traffic flow. Again you see no RV's. The city is doing a $3 million dollar downtown renovation. They have added several crosswalks, new street lights, underground electric lines, planters and trash containers.
This shot was taken at 6:30 PM, Monday. Rush hour? Not in Waldport. If you enlarge the photo, you can see the new street lights. They are taking down the overhead power lines as they re-locate them. Downtown's going to quite cute when they are done. They have installed some brickwork in the sidewalks, too.

Here are the current gas prices in town. Notice the bikes at the base of the sign? Waldport was provided some "town bikes." They are green and are free for whoever needs transportation. There is no charge for using them; you just leave them out along the road for the next person.

Effect of High Gas Prices on the Central Oregon Coast

Prices here are HIGH! Regular is just under $4.50/gal. Diesel is over $5/gal.















There are still lots of traffic - but notice the lack of RV's












Lots more motorcycles on the road.
