I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
We spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley
I have no idea what the words to Yes’ 1971 epic Roundabout actually mean, but if they cryptically imply that the roundabout project at the intersection of Borland and Stafford roads will improve, then I’m all for ‘em.
The county has begun the traffic revision at what has become over the years a heavily used intersection, funneling traffic on and off I-205 from West Linn, Stafford, and Lake Oswego. Traffic from daily rush hour commutes, two schools, cheap taco nights and Harley gatherings, plus five major churches make for serious congestion, and the county is pouring $4 million into resolving what will only get worse without attention.
The county describes roundabouts:
…circular intersections with specific design and traffic control features that eliminate the need for traffic signals. These features include yield control of all entering traffic, channelized approaches with raised splitter islands, and geometric curvature to ensure slow travel speeds for vehicles entering into and traveling within the roundabout.
The county expects an improvement of 30-50% in traffic throughput–handling between 3,500 to 5,000 vehicles per hour, negating the need for expensive signals and multiple turn lanes. Traffic should flow through and around most of the work, but through the summer, be prepared for occasional delays.
More information can be found here.

Jody McLeod April 21st, 2008
The five homes that went either pending or sold last week look pretty dismal compared to the twenty-five homes listed. Could it be that West Linn sellers are pricing their homes out of the market? As you can see from a couple of the homes that sold, prices were reduced substantially from the original listing price. It just goes to show how important it is to price a home correctly from the get-go to keep it from lingering on the market.
Below is the real estate activity for the week April 14-April 20, 2008:

Ron Ares April 17th, 2008
If you’ve followed the West Linn news, you know that the city has had a few bumps and bruises over the past couple years. Mismanagement, embezzling, poor budget and audit practices, and so on.
In his State of the City transcript, published by the West Linn Tidings, Mayor Norm King acknowledges it:
…our more recent history is riddled with mismanagement, which is like a restrictor plate on our forward movement
But the mayor is bullish on the future:
I will be the first to admit that there are times that public service can be daunting. Many of you have likely read the blog posts, or seen the public testimony on television, and it can seem like we’re constantly faced with vitriol and spite. Some people in this community seem intent on promoting a message of gridlock and distrust, and it can drag down your spirit and make you question your motives.
But then, something happens. It might result from an article in the newspaper, a story you hear over coffee, or an event you attend in your neighborhood. You learn about things happening in West Linn and it gives your attitude a kick in the pants. You realize that this community isn’t defined by the incivility of some, but the positive activism of many. If you think about your past year, I know you’ve had similar experiences where you’re reminded why West Linn is a great place to live.
The mayor goes on to cite a number of examples of community spirit and volunteerism. We certainly hope civic officials regain momentum and add strong leadership to the favorable community and natural attributes that make West Linn a great place to live.
Read the Tiding’s full coverage of Mayor King’s address.
Ron Ares April 14th, 2008
On the heels of a slow sales week, comes yet another. Over 415 West Linn homes are actively being marketed as of April 14.
