State statute establishes a 25 mph speed limit for residence districts and after years of development, many roads in Deschutes River Woods now meet the statutory definition of a residence district. Additionally, the Road Department has received feedback and citizen requests regarding speed limit concerns due to additional walking and biking activity in the neighborhood. Speed limit changes will be implemented on all low volume paved local roads. Higher volume collector roads will retain their existing 35 mph speed limit, such as Baker Road, Cinder Butte Road, Cheyenne Road, Navajo Road, Minnetonka Lane, Kiowa Road and portions of Riverwoods Drive. As a reminder, the gravel roads in Deschutes River Woods do not have speed limits and are governed by the Basic Rule per state statute. For more information, please contact Chris Doty, Director, Deschutes County Road Department, 541-322-7105 or chris.doty@deschutes.org. 6 Oct · Subscribers of Deschutes County in 1 neighborhood in General THANK 14 REPLY Pfizer booster dose vaccinations now available in Central Oregon Public Information Officer Morgan Emerson from Deschutes County · 28 Sep Pfizer booster dose vaccinations are now available for eligible individuals at many locations across Central Oregon.
