On November 13 at 6:30pm in the Bend City Hall Council Chambers, City staff will formally respond to a list of citizen proposals intended to address the ongoing problem of speeding cars on neighborhood streets.
(This is not an official governmental meeting, but is being held at the initiative of the newly formed private citizens group, Slower Safer Bend.)
In a spirit of innovation and cost-containment, citizens of all ages from all parts of Bend met this summer and fall to develop ideas and suggestions for traffic calming in their neighborhoods.
Barb Campbell, a downtown business owner, presented copies of these proposals at the October 2 City Council session.
Anne Aurand, the City’s new community relations manager, has been instrumental in creating the opportunity provided by this meeting for individuals and neighborhoods to air their concerns about what they strongly believe to be a public safety issue.
Nick Arnis, Bend’s transportation safety manager and a representative from Bend Police Department will be on hand to address citizen concerns and to hold a discussion with audience members.
The public is cordially invited to attend the November 13 meeting. Disabled access is provided.
