Appeals court deals blow to Ashland welcome center Archive By Daily Tidings Editorial Board On Dec 2, 2010 Last updated Mar 16, 2024 Posted: 2:40 PM December 02, 2010 The Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled that transportation officials cannot sidestep state rules by extending city water to a proposed Ashland welcome center. The Oregon Department of Transportation has proposed an 18-acre rest stop and welcome center at milepost 12.5, just south of Crowson Road in Ashland. Neighbors cried foul, saying ODOT was trying to circumvent state planning law, specifically Goal 11, which makes it difficult for local governments to extend water service outside their boundaries. More details will be made available in tomorrow’s Daily Tidings. Share Twitter Facebook ReddIt WhatsApp Pinterest Email
