Winter is here and the Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is seeking nominations of businesses and individuals who are making an extra effort to keep their sidewalks safe.
Snow and ice serve as great reminders for the importance of safe walking conditions, but other hazards such as overgrown landscaping and sprinkler overspray require year-round attention from property owners.
Safe Sidewalk Award winners will be recognized by the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
To nominate a business or an individual, visit deschutes.org/BPAC and complete a nomination form. Nominations are due by Thursday, March 19 at 5pm and can be emailed to Deschutes County Associate Planner Tanya Saltzman at tanya.saltzman@deschutes.org or mailed to:
