In the continued effort to build a safe network to encourage biking and walking in Redmond, the City of Redmond Bicycle and the Redmond Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is seeking volunteers to help conduct the annual bicycle and pedestrian counts. This year’s counts will measure the progress of community marketing efforts and the impact of physical improvements to the bicycle and pedestrian network, as well as helping to build support for future improvements.
We need volunteers for two hour shifts to sit at designated locations and count users on Thursday, September 12, from 2-4pm and/or Saturday, September 14, from 9-11am. A short online training is provided. Thank you for considering and please pass this along to anyone you know who may be interested.
It’s easy to volunteer. You can use one of two ways:
- Go to the City of Redmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee website (redmondoregon.gov/BPAC) and reserve your favorite location and access important information.
- Contact Sarah Vowell with the City of Redmond either by email: sarah.vowell@redmondoregon.gov or by calling 541-504-3044
The purpose of the BPAC is to increase pedestrian utility and bicycle ridership in Redmond – to encourage more people to bike and walk around Redmond as a means of exercise, sustainability and community. BPAC represents all bicycle and pedestrian users in Redmond, both current and future by advocating for the development of additional bike and pedestrian facilities that are user friendly, inviting and compelling, reviewing transportation projects from the viewpoint of bicycle and pedestrian users and spearheading encouragement and educational activities.
