River or pond? Dredge and walk away or remove the dam and add more public green space?

The Mirror Pond Steering Committee has presented the community with four options (or seven, counting the no-dam alternatives associated with the first three options) for managing the silt clogging the pond feature on the Deschutes River near downtown Bend. Read this week's news story and then take the short online questionnaire at mirrorpondbend.com. This is how to make yourself heard. Your opinion will inform the steering committee as to how to proceed with a solution. Inform yourself and choose wisely.

Want to know more? Go to a public info session. There's three left (and one of them is tomorrow).

July 2, 2013 - Juniper Swim and Fitness Center, 800 NE 6th Street, 3pm - 6pm
