The City of Bend invites community members to attend an Open House for the Reed Market Road & 15th Street Roundabout Improvements Project on Thursday, August 21, 2025, from 4 – 6 p.m. at Larkspur Community Center, 1600 SE Reed Market Rd, Bend, OR 97702. The city plans to enlarge the roundabout from a single lane to double lane. The city says it will reduce congestion, allowing more vehicles to travel through at the same time. The current roundabout has two lanes entering but only one exiting.
This drop-in event offers residents an opportunity to meet the project team, ask questions, and learn more about proposed improvements. An online participation option will also be available on the project website at bendoregon.gov/reedmarket-15th.
The project is focused on enhancing safety and improving system capacity at this key intersection. The design will feature a more intuitive multi-lane roundabout, with upgrades that help promote safer travel for people walking and biking, while also improving traffic flow and making navigation easier for drivers. According to the City of Bend’s website, construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2027.
