The City of Bend is beginning work to make Greenwood Avenue safer for everyone who travels on this road.

- In addition, Greenwood Avenue will be CLOSED to all traffic for 48 hours Agosto 5-7 and night closures will take place periodically throughout construction. (See schedule below.)
- Street parking will be closed on Greenwood Avenue during construction. Check Find Parking for options.
- Access to some side streets will be limited.

About the Project
Quick Build construction on Greenwood Avenue will include:
- Improved crosswalks and new curb extensions for better visibility of pedestrians.

- Safer parking along the south side of Greenwood with the removal of parking on the north side of Greenwood.
Mejorar el sistema de transporte centrándose en la seguridad es uno de los objetivos del Ayuntamiento. Crear conexiones más seguras entre barrios, lugares de trabajo, colegios, parques y negocios para las personas que se desplazan en bicicleta, a pie o en patines es una prioridad para la ciudad. El Ayuntamiento está diseñando una serie de rutas para ciclistas y peatones más seguras y accesibles en toda la comunidad, incluido el proyecto Midtown Crossings, cuyo objetivo es conectar el distrito central con el centro de Bend.
