Join the City of Bend for a unique engagement opportunity on Monday, June 10 beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Bend Municipal Court (555 NE 15th Street, Bend).

5:30 – 7 p.m.  Public Safety Open House

Community members citywide are invited to a Public Safety Open House about how the City of Bend’s police and transportation planners work to enhance traffic safety and enforce our traffic laws. Open house guests will hear from Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz and Janet Hruby, Assistant City Engineer for Transportation & Mobility about how safety is considered in Bend using the “Three E’s of Traffic Safety: Education, Engineering and Enforcement.”

There will also be tables with interactive displays, information and staff from Bend Police and Transportation & Mobility departments to answer questions.

7 – 8:30 p.m. Neighborhood Roundtable

Following the open house, representatives from each of Bend’s neighborhood district boards will participate in a roundtable discussion with Bend City Council and staff around Public Safety Council Goals like the coming automated traffic enforcement program, and related neighborhood concerns. Community members can observe the discussion in person or virtually. Virtual meeting links will be posted to the City Council Meeting webpage prior to June 10.
