The City of Bend is re-starting a program which allows neighborhood to have an opportunity to identify safety projects which the neighborhood considers important. This program is administered by the Streets and Operations Department.
The City Council has adopted a budget for 2019-2021 which includes $800,000 for this program. The details of this program are being ironed out and the kickoff is slated for August 5, 2019.
Here is the link to the current page on the city website to learn how any citizen can submit an application for a residential street safety project: City website page. Please review the power point presentation below for a more detailed information. If you have any questions after reading the presentation, please email your questions to riverwestneighborhoodbend@gmail.com
