County Road Department seeks public feedback on safety updates

The Deschutes County Road Department is updating its Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) and wants public input. The department is hosting a second online open house from Dec. 11 to Dec. 26, for residents to review and comment on proposed safety improvements to county roads in the unincorporated, rural areas outside Bend, La Pine, Redmond, and Sisters.

Deschutes County has a goal of zero fatal or serious injury crashes on its roadways. The TSAP helps the Road Department meet this goal by identifying safety issues and finding ways to improve specific locations and the overall county road system. Feedback gathered during the first online open house last spring led to the latest updates of the TSAP.

Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed updates. To participate, please visit the TSAP website . Public comments will be accepted online from Thursday, Dec. 11 through Friday, Dec. 26.
