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

Big Chainring award to Tom Holt, Lt. Chris Carney with the City of Bend Police Department, Erin
