Bend’s roads have taken a beating and accumulated $80 million worth of deferred street maintenance needs. A 5-cent per gallon fuel tax is on the March 8 ballot to fund repair and maintenance of city streets, bike-lanes, sidewalks, and curb ramps. If approved, an estimated $2.5 million annually will be generated from residents and tourists.
With such a heated topic we’ve brought together City Council Member / Mayor Pro Tem, Sally Russell and City Council Member Victor Chudowsky for a special City Club Evening Forum to debate each side of the topic. We promise a lively debate with plenty of time for Q&A.
Moderator: Anne George, Facilitation, Mediation + Public Involvement, Central Oregon
