After months of protests by residents in neighbors off of Brookswood Blvd. on the southwest side of Bend, the Oregon Department of Transportation announced today that it would no longer pursue a DMV location in a shopping center in that area.

In the letter to the owner of the space, W. Scott Lovejoy III, the DMV says that the lease is void because the space could not be prepared in time for the planned January move in.

The current Bend DMV will continue at its current location on the north end of Bend.
