Question: In Bunker Hill one street sign reads “Flanagan Road,” and another reads “Flannagan Road.” Are they different streets? If so, why such a confusing similarity in names?

Answer: The streets are indeed one and the same.

County roadmaster John Rowe believes that one of the signs may have been placed by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the other by the county — and was simply a mistake. He said he would inform ODOT of the error.

The correct spelling is “Flanagan Road.”

Question: I want to know when the City of Coos Bay did its last annual fire inspection of the Chandler Hotel and what did it say?

Answer: Neither the city nor the fire department do annual fire inspections of residences, they only inspect public areas such as businesses. That includes in the historic Chandler Hotel building.

Bay Moss Studios was formally in the Chandler Hotel building and the fire department inspected that retail space in January of this year, said fire chief Stan Gibson. The inspection results were normal.
