The Northwest Natural Parade of Homes in Dawson Ridge development in Camas has created a dangerous local road and sidewalk situation.
All road and sidewalk improvement stopped suddenly in February along Northwest McIntosh Road. The entrance to the Dawson Ridge development enters from McIntosh Road. Entering McIntosh from Brady Road, drivers are greeted by orange cones, a raised confusing traffic island and four warning signs within the first 50 feet.
The road has a bumpy over-patch with potholes and confusing lane indicators along a winding road. The Dawson entrance has a cable/telephone pole in the road with two additional poles in the expanded road along McIntosh. The sidewalk, curb and fence across from the Dawson entrance are destroyed, leading to a 15-foot drop into Deer Creek. The sidewalk along McIntosh has a trench dug out that is dangerous.
Children walk and bike to school and five school buses pass through this area. Homes costing $1 million to $2 million are being rushed through for the Parade of Homes. What other shortcuts will be taken for profit and tax gains? We need to hold our city of Camas, developer and contractor accountable for the danger they have created.
