Abstract:The Cascade Lakes Highway is located in Central Oregon, southwest of Bend (Figure 1: Map of Study Area). The highway is within the Deschutes National Forest and provides access to many recreation sites in the Forest. The highway’s underlying ownership is USFS, but is maintained by Deschutes County. Deschutes County has become a major tourist and recreation destination. Cyclotourism has become popular and there is also a significant and robust local cycling community. An analysis of the facility relating to safety and bicycle use has never been performed. Deschutes County and the Forest Service applied for Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) funding in 2016 for a planning study. The scope of the planning project is to study the corridor and identify opportunities for safety improvements. The project was selected for FLAP funding and started in 2018.
