How can the community’s values be considered to make our transportation system a success? On September 17 come listen to what local land use and transportation planners are doing here, learn how transportation systems are working elsewhere, and seize the opportunity for input into a Central Westside land use and transportation planning study that will shape Bend’s future.
As Bend continues to grow with a four-year university, expanding UGB and changing demographic, it is evolving into something more urban. Our transportation system will need to reflect these changes.
It used to be that a functioning transportation system was measured solely by how many vehicles could get through an intersection in a given period of time. As Bend matures with more mixed-use and diverse development, the community may need to redefine ‘functional’ and plan for a transportation system that’s more cost efficient, safer for all users, and friendlier for people who bike, walk and ride a bus.
