Proposed New Road Over the Mountain
The Chehalem Mountain road committee reviewed two routes. One would pass along Westfall and Woods farms with grades up to twelve percent, the other from Chehalem Center church along the Oakley private road, with grades near ten percent. Oakley’s deed for right of way and Farview Farm support the cheaper route, but landowner compensation questions may决定 the final choice.
