Central Oregon Times

The City is currently designing a variety of safer and more accessible bike and pedestrian routes throughout the City, including along two of Bend’s heavily traveled northeast corridors: Butler Market and Boyd Acres roads. Community members are invited to an online open house through May 22 to review and provide input on potential design configurations for portions of these two “key routes.” 

Key route is a term from the Bend Transportation System Plan that means the route is designed to be “low stress” for pedestrians and bicyclists, to provide safe and appealing connections to schools, parks and other destinations and for cross-city travel. Making these two corridors safer and more bike- and pedestrian-friendly was identified in the City of Bend Transportation System Plan as a high priority.

The online open house and community survey, where the community can share feedback about design alternatives, is available through May 22 at bendoregon.gov/boyd-butler.
