DESCRIPTION:The City of Bend is holding an open house for a new roundabout planned at Brookswood Blvd. and Powers Rd. No formal presentation is planned; the public is invited to drop in at any time. \nConstruction is scheduled to begin in mid-July and continue through October. Signed\, temporary detour routes will be in place during that time to allow the contractors full access to the construction area. The project is being funded from the 2011 transportation General Obligation (G.O.) Bond program. The total project cost is around $3 million. \nThe G.O. Bond program is a voter-approved package of street and intersection improvements located throughout the city. The bond measure authorized $30 million for eight separate projects which were selected based on known safety and congestion issues\, geographic location\, and the opportunity to provide local construction jobs. Construction will take place through 2014. \nFor more information\, visit www.bendoregon.gov/GOBond.

The meeting will be held on Monday\, May 7 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall\, 710 NW Wall St. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share your ideas. \nCity staff has met with a group of interested and informed citizens\, including event coordinators and neighborhood representatives\, in an effort to develop code amendments in response to concerns about noise. \nThe committee worked to clarify where and how noise is measured and to identify appropriate decibel limits to ensure that residents won’t be disturbed by noise in their homes after 10 p.m. This included developing a permit process for limited exceptions to the noise ordinance requiring neighborhood notification and a point of contact during events. There was also agreement to establish escalating penalties for repeat violations. \nThe proposed code revisions are posted on the City website\, www.bendoregon.gov\, on the City Recorder’s page. The City Council is expected to consider these amendments at its May 16\, 2012 meeting. \nIf you are unable to attend the open house on May 7\, please send your comments or questions to City Recorder Robyn Christie at rchristie@ci.bend.or.us or 541-388-5517.
