BACKGROUND
Central Oregon LandWatch formed the BCD Initiative to build broad and effective support for policies and programs that promote an inclusive, dense, mixed-use neighborhood in the Bend Central District that is well-served by safe and environmentally friendly mobility options. To address the problem of connectivity, the BCD Initiative collaborated with the late Kaycee Anseth to reimagine the Franklin Avenue Corridor as a safe, welcoming and vibrant public space. Together, we chose this corridor because it is a key east-west connection between Downtown Bend and the Third Street Corridor and Midtown Neighborhoods with more than 5,000 people walking, biking and using other mobility devices through it on a weekly basis.
Since the Bend Central District has three times more Latinx residents as the rest of the City of Bend, Phase Two of #ProjectUnderpass focuses on lifting up that cultural heritage for all Bendites to recognize and respect through public art.
This project received a matching grant from the Oregon Arts Commission Arts Build Communities program, and we are currently accepting donations to raise the remaining half. Click here to donate.

ANTECEDENTES
Central Oregon LandWatch formó la Iniciativa BCD para construir un apoyo amplio y efectivo para políticas y programas que promuevan un vecindario inclusivo, denso y de uso mixto en el Distrito Central de Bend que esté bien servido por opciones de movilidad seguras y amigables con el medio ambiente. Para abordar el problema de la conectividad, la Iniciativa BCD colaboró con la fallecida Kaycee Anseth para reinventar el Corredor Franklin Avenue como un espacio público seguro, acogedor y vibrante. Juntos, elegimos este corredor porque es una conexión clave este-oeste entre Downtown Bend y Third Street Corridor y Midtown Neighborhoods con más de 5,000 personas caminando, en bicicleta y usando otros dispositivos de movilidad a través de él semanalmente.
Dado que el Distrito Central de Bend tiene aproximadamente tres veces de residentes Latinx que el resto de la Ciudad de Bend, la Fase Dos de #ProjectUnderpass se enfoca en levantar esa herencia cultural para que todos los residentes de Bend reconozcan y respeten a través del arte público.
