Eugene residents wanted to serve on city’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee; applications due October 30

The City of Eugene seeks residents who are interested in serving on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). The role of BPAC is to:

• Advise the City of Eugene staff, community organizations, and partner agencies on implementation of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Strategic Plan;
• Represent community interests in transportation planning decisions, and;
• Provide feedback to staff on projects relating to walking and bicycling.

BPAC members will also play a vital role in developing the next Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, which will shape the future of the pedestrian and bicycling system for the next 20 years.

Recruitment is under way to fill two vacancies on BPAC for one- or two-year terms. Applicants must be Eugene residents who are willing to attend the monthly meetings and read background materials provided by City staff. Additional meetings may be scheduled as needed.

BPAC meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month in the Sloat Conference Room at the Eugene Atrium Building (99 West 10th Avenue) from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.  Guests and members of the public are always welcome to attend.

Applications are available online or at the City of Eugene Engineering Department, 99 E. Broadway, Suite 400, Eugene.

The deadline for submitting applications is October 30. For more information, contact Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator Lee Shoemaker via email or at 541.682.5471.
