About

Improvements are needed on U.S. 30/10^th Street on the northwest end of Baker City. Intersection enhancements will give trucks more room to turn safely on to U. S. 30 at Pocahontas Road.

Pedestrian improvements will be added along the west side of U.S. 30 to fill in gaps of missing sidewalks or replace those in poor condition, and new curb ramps will be constructed to meet current ADA standards.

Work on Cedar Street will be led by Baker City.
