Plan to rename Highway 30 hits a legislative detour June 30 2021
Don t look for Oregon Veterans Memorial Highway signs just yet; lawmakers and transportation officials want to clarify that a possible name change doesn t conflict with other honors on the route.
Efforts by Bend s Dick Tobiason to rename U.S. Highway 30 for Oregon military veterans hit a pretty big speed bump in the just-completed 2021 legislative session.
Members of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and Emergency Management tabled Senate Bill 790, a bill proposed on Tobiason s behalf to rename the road from Astoria to the Idaho border the Oregon Veterans Memorial Highway. The committee asked Oregon s Department of Transportation to clarify that the proposed name would not conflict with other highways honoring veterans.
