City of Bend Hosts Open House for Bend Bikeway Project
The City of Bend is hosting an informational, online open house from Dec. 16 to Jan. 2 on the final design for the Bend Bikeway Project. According to a press release, the open house will be the last public review opportunity before the designs are finalized.
The Bend Bikeway Project is one of many accessible bike and pedestrian routes the City of Bend is designing. This project, partially funded by the 2020 Transportation GO Bond, will utilize the existing system to build one connected and protected north-south and east-west route, designed to provide safe connections to schools, parks and other destinations for pedestrians and bicyclists. Construction is set to begin next year.
“Community members have said they want safer ways to travel across town on bike or on foot, and that’s what this Bikeways project will provide,” wrote Mayor Melanie Kebler in a statement.
