The Sisters Ranger District on the Deschutes National Forest has issued a final environmental assessment and draft decision notice on the project.

This project plans to build a 7.6 mile non-motorized multi-use paved path between Sisters and Black Butte Ranch.

This path would be used by cyclists, and pedestrians, but it would be closed to horses.

The construction requires three crossings to lessen impacts to riparian areas.  It also requires cutting down 250 green trees.

Only those people who commented during public meetings can object to the project.  The objection period ends August 18th.
