County, Beaverton, declaring snow zones

Several people noted the Meeting Notice sign on Barnes just west of Cedar Hills Bl., hoping it might be a new development for the Peterkort property. But no, we discovered that it was to announce a meeting to decide whether to designate some roads as “snow zones,” meaning that traction devices (chains etc.) will be required under snowy and icy weather conditions.

Several roads inside Beaverton city limits are under Washington County jurisdiction. The county is establishing snow zones and Beaverton will delegate the authority to designate these zones to the county, which will post signs when the weather conditions require the use of traction devices.

Cedar Mill area roads that will get snow zone markings

Cedar Mill area roads with snow zones are Cornell from eastern County limits to eastern City limits; Barnes from eastern County line to 118th, and Burnside from eastern county line to Barnes.

And no word from the Peterkort Co. on any future development of their properties surrounding the intersection!
