Media Release - County to consider permanent 3-way stop at Brookswood / Baker Intersection

September 2, 2015

During recent construction of the Brookswood Boulevard / Murphy Road Roundabout Project, the nearby intersection of Brookswood Boulevard / Baker Road was converted to an interim 3-way stop to accommodate construction detour traffic. 

The Road Department has received positive feedback regarding traffic operations of the interim 3-way stop and will consider leaving the 3-way stop in place as the permanent traffic control for the intersection. 

The Road Department will evaluate operations and conduct traffic counts for a two-week period after the Brookswood Boulevard / Murphy Road roundabout has been opened to traffic.  After the two-week period, the Road Department will determine if the 3-way stop will remain in place, or converted back to the existing stop controlled configuration on the Brookswood Boulevard leg of the intersection.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Deschutes County Road Department at 541-388-6581, road@deschutes.org or Chris Doty, Deschutes County Road Department Director, 541-322-7105, chris.doty@deschutes.org
