Crossroads paved path project killed

A controversial proposal for a 1.1-mile, 12-foot-wide, multi-use path between Sisters High School and Crossroads subdivision has been killed.

Sisters District Ranger Kristie Miller has rescinded that portion of her decision for a paved path near Sisters. The path will not be built.

According to a Forest Service statement, Miller chose to rescind her decision based on the additional public comment following the decision. She undertook the additional public comment to correct errors made during the initial public comment process.

Miller said, "After hearing from a broad group of people, I believe the project is not supported by the majority of the community and is not in the best interest of the community at this time."
