But still if you are driving and you have an address in your GPS and it says turn at the next intersection 400 feet how can that not help?You are missing it completely. It's not about GPS. I use that a lot. I know where places are a lot of times. I can SEE them. Not left on Crater Lake. Left off Poplar onto Hilton.

I have had a lot of the same thoughts and fears that have been put forward here by many of you, but until it's open and we have a few months under our belt, it will be hard to judge. For reasons of my own, I am PLEASED to see that they have Agate merging straight onto the bypass in White City.

I can SEE them. OK I see LOL I had to use Google earth to see what you meant. Yes you pretty much have to cruise through Best Buy's parking lot. Or go behind and around the store. That's where I go when I need Styrofoam for shipping. So I'm guessing at some point you got to that intersection and then because you HAD to turn right you were PISSED LOL RE: Opinions on new 62 by-pass - GCG - 01-01-2019 (01-01-2019, 02:27 PM)tvguy Wrote:More better to exit Freddies at the light that is avaiable and turn left onto Poplar and then right on Hilton.

I didn't know if you used a GPS or not so I thought it might at least get you to make the first turn at the right place.

I think she knows that and does that. She's talking about when she is going to FM not leaving , when she is driving down Hilton and she can't turn left on to Poplar.

I avoid the area between Crater Lake Ave. and Hwy 62 in that part of town. Try to get from North Medford High to anywhere on 62 between Delta Waters and I-5. I mean without a helicopter. RE: Opinions on new 62 by-pass - Juniper - 01-01-2019 This is hilarious. But no, it's not about going TO Freddies or coming down Hilton. I liked being able to access Hilton from a left hand turn off Poplar. So, if I come OUT of Freddies on Poplar or off the highway, I don't like having to drive down to Morrow. It's pretty silly, but it annoys me because in my head I remember being able to get to Hilton without all the fuss and bother. These things are stamped in my collective unconscious driving and then, suddenly I'll find myself unable to access a place I always could before. I typically don't go down Poplar from CHL, I usually take Skypark from the hwy and that works fine.

Well anyway my arrow does point at the barrier you are against RE: Opinions on new 62 by-pass - tvguy - 01-01-2019 While we are on the subject can we agree the guy who named Crater lake avenue that's like 50 feet away from Crater lake Highway an IDIOT!

You must be a sexist pig. Maybe it was a woman that did that.

I can't tell you how many times people have said avenue when they meant Highway or the opposite. Or they simply say "you go down and turn right on Crater lake and"....

True. RE: Opinions on new 62 by-pass - tornado - 01-02-2019 (12-29-2018, 09:21 AM)GCG Wrote: I'm less than impressed by the design of the new by-pass. Specifically the positioning of the beginning and ending of it. Before they began construction, the primary bottlenecks were located at these locations: intersection at Poplar, (Fred Meyer), intersection at Delta Waters, (Olive Garden) and the intersection of 140. Once past 140 it remains busy until you get past the dom. Pretty good analysis of the situation. Eventually the bypass will terminate at Dutton Rd. and hwy 62, necessitating yet another traffic signal.

Once past 140 it remains busy until you get past the dom. That was the plan but I think that plan has been abandoned for some reason. I think it could be over environmental issues.

Once past 140 it remains busy until you get past the dom. Wonderful news. I live about 1/2 mile north of Dutton Rd., and wasn't look forward to another signal between my place and Medford.

What bothered me was when I had to stop for a light when there was no traffic? Or when one car trips the signal and ME and several others all have to stop for one guy. |
