Fall River neighbors,
Over the past few years, the Special Road District has been approached by residents complaining of excessive speeding by residents, contractors and delivery trucks. The SRD contacted ODOT, Deschutes County Sheriff’s department and Deschutes County Road department for information on what remedies are available to address this issue. The County Road department informed us that Fall River Estates qualifies as a rural residential area and as such has, by law, a 25mph speed limit. The Sheriff's Department stated they will enforce the legal speed limit in Fall River Estates.
As some of you may have noticed, the SPEED 15MPH signs on Yellowpine Loop and River Loop have been replaced with SPEED LIMIT 25MPH signs. These signs now make clear the enforceable legal speed limit.
If you observe vehicle speeds in excess of the 25mph speed limit please contact the Sheriff's department at:
Non-Emergency Dispatch (541) 693-6911
Sincerely,
Fall River Special Road District

Winter in Fall River is beautiful! We always get snow! How much? It's different every year, but it's always between half a foot to four feet. No worries; we have the best people plowing our roads.
The contract with our snow plowing contractor reads:
"... start snow removal work within two hours of six inches of snow accumulation... "
My husband and I have owned our home in Fall River for over twenty years. During that time we have both served on various boards and participated in several projects and work parties, which have improved the community. I built this website so that the landowners, the taxpayers, in the Fall River had a place to go to get information about our Special Road District. I post here information that is available to the public - the meeting agendas and minutes, the financial reports, notices, and other information. The SRD has not paid for this site, nor have they paid me for any services. The board has always tried to be transparent and open with us, but website building and maintenance, and ownership is expensive. Our SRD board does not send out mass emails on a regular basis; they do not want to burden the SRD members with all that volume of information in their in-box. It is my hope that this website allows the SRD board to minimize their expenses while providing good transparency. Road paving and maintenance is expensive and this allows the SRD board to retain more of the tax revenues for the real purpose of the SRD. The SRD board members serve on a volunteer basis and I am happy to further that spirit of volunteerism by offering my services.
I hope you find this website informative and helpful. If you have any comments or questions regarding this site, please contact me via my contact page.
Thank you
Alice Carey-Swanson
