Neighborhood Pace Car Program Rolls Out

6:30PM

Neighborhood Pace Car Program Rolls Out Bend, Oregon, March 4, 2014. As one way to accomplish its goal of slowing down cars on residential streets, the citizens group Slower Safer Bend will premiere its Neighborhood Pace Car Program at a community meeting on Tues. March 4 at 6:30 P.M. at the Bend Library Brooks Room, 601 NW Wall St. Cheerful yellow insignias designed by downtown business owner Barb Campbell will be available at the meeting for anyone wishing to participate in the program. As a bumper or window sticker, the insignia will indicate the driver's intention to observe the speed limit and to act as an example for other motorists. Slower Safer Bend has been in existence for 6 months. At earlier meetings, participants have proposed ideas and suggestions for safer traffic conditions on neighborhood streets. City staff has responded. From Anne Aurand, Bend Community Relations Manager: "I wanted you to know the city is actively discussing ways to improve our responses to citizen service requests (complaints about speeding or calls for traffic calming methods), largely in response to Slower Safer Bend and the momentum you created. Engineering and Public Works are working together with Police to create systems that better connect complaints with responses. I think small expenses such as more radar speed signs or perhaps a hotline for speeding complaints that goes directly to Police (rather than the current data management system) are being considered. The City of Bend is also reorganizing its Transportation division of Public Works into its own Transportation Department. This will improve the communication between street safety and maintenance. Anyway, just didn’t want you to think nothing was happening. The freighter is starting to turn……. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Anne Also - I just sat in on the council goal session and they've added: "ensure city responsiveness to livability issues and concerns....." to the community engagement goals....and this stems directly from your efforts."
