PENDLETON, Ore.-In perhaps the surest sign yet that spring is finally here, the City of Pendleton will start its winter gravel pickup on Wednesday, March 12.
Yellow signs with red lettering will be placed in areas where Pendleton Public Works Crews are picking up gravel and the process is expected to take four to six weeks, according to City Officials.
Residents and visitors should park off the street in areas where work crews and yellow signs are visible if possible. Crews are expected to start with the roads entering Pendleton before moving to other areas.
Gravel in school areas will be picked up during Spring Break when there is less traffic in the area.
