In English | En español – Summer break is coming to an end, and school is back on Monday!

Over the summer, the City has made some changes to the roadways around Hood River Middle School with the aim of improving safety for users of all modes of transportation. These updates, part of our Safe Routes to School plan, provide separate zones for kids arriving via vehicle drop-off, bicycles, scooters and wheels, and buses.

Key things to note:
• Designated drop-off/pick-up is on May Street, with parking available outside of school hours.
• Bike lane on the East side of 17th – NO PARKING OR STOPPING PERMITTED
• Bus only parking on May at the corner of 17th
• Updated ADA parking on May
• Improved safety for school buses entering and exiting the bus lane

Thank you for obeying traffic signals and keeping our kids safe!

¡Las vacaciones de verano están llegando a su fin y las clases se reanudan este lunes!

La ciudad ha realizado cambios en las vías que rodean la escuela secundaria Hood River Middle School con el objetivo de mejorar la seguridad para los usuarios de todos los medios de transporte. Estas mejoras, que forman parte de nuestro plan de "Rutas Seguras a la Escuela", establecen zonas separadas para los niños que llegan en vehículo (para dejarlos), para quienes usan bicicletas y patinetes, y por autobus.

Aspectos clave a tener en cuenta:
• La zona designada para dejar y recoger a los alumnos se encuentra en la calle May; el estacionamiento está permitido fuera del horario escolar.
• Carril bici en el lado este de la calle 17: PROHIBIDO ESTACIONAR
• Estacionamiento exclusivo para autobuses en la calle May, en la esquina con la calle 17.
• Estacionamiento actualizado para personas con discapacidad (normativa ADA) en la calle May.
• Mayor seguridad para los autobuses escolares al entrar y salir de su carril exclusivo.

¡Gracias por respetar las señales de tráfico y velar por la seguridad de nuestros niños!

In English | En español - Join us in celebrating the completion of Dee Hydro – our in-conduit hydropower project! This project takes something the City of Hood River already has—water flowing through our water system—to produce clean energy.

Despite challenges along the way, the Hood River City Council remained steadfast in their vision to find solutions and bring this project to completion, and make progress on our energy goals. Over its first 30 years, the project is expected to generate roughly 16 million kilowatt hours of electricity.

Thank you to the Energy Trust of Oregon, Oregon Department of Energy, Hood River Energy Council, Pacific Power, and City of Hood River Councilors and staff who helped to make this possible.

¡Acompáñanos a celebrar la finalización de Dee Hydro, nuestro proyecto de energía hidroeléctrica integrada en la red de conducción de agua! Este proyecto aprovecha un recurso que la ciudad de Hood River ya posee —el agua que fluye por nuestro sistema de agua— para generar energía limpia.

A pesar de los desafíos surgidos en el camino, el Concejo Municipal de Hood River mantuvo firme su visión de completar este proyecto y avanzar hacia nuestras metas energéticas. Se estima que, durante sus primeros 30 años de funcionamiento, el proyecto generará aproximadamente 16 millones de kilovatios-hora de electricidad.

Gracias al Energy Trust of Oregon, Departamento de Energía de Oregón, Hood River Energy Council, Pacific Power, así como a los concejales y al personal de la ciudad de Hood River que hicieron posible esta iniciativa.
