BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) has selected the 2013 “Big
Chainring” Award recipients. Since 1996, the Big Chainring Awards have been awarded annually to
honor individuals, businesses, public agencies, and advocacy groups that have made significant
contributions in the support of better bicycling and walking in Central Oregon. In addition, the Peter
Hanson Memorial Award specifically recognizes individuals in the community who have provided
outstanding voluntary contributions. Staff and BPAC members request that the Board assist in the
presentation of seven awards this year: Lifetime Achievement Award to Rick Root with City of Bend,
“Peter Hanson Memorial Award” to Andy Barram and the Big Chainring awards to Ken Cardwell, Jeff
Schuler with Bicycle Re-Source of Bend, Paul Bertanga with the City of Sisters Public Works
Department, Katie Hammer and the Board of Directors with Redmond Area Parks and Recreation
District, and West Bend Property Company.
The BPAC has selected the 2013 “Safe Sidewalks” Award recipients. Since 2006, the Safe Sidewalks
Awards have recognized those businesses and property owners who not only fulfill, but also often
exceed the legal requirements of keeping their sidewalks safe and clear of debris and hazards this past
year. Staff and BPAC members request that the Board assist in the presentation of two awards this
year. The winners were Ray's Food Place in Bend and ODOT Region 4 District 10.
