Hawthorne Overcrossing – Join in the conversation!
You’re invited to to learn more about the Hawthorne Overcrossing pedestrian and bicycle bridge project and to review four bridge type options at an open house, either in person or online. The City will soon select the design of a new bridge for walking, biking and rolling on Hawthorne Avenue between Hill Street to Second Street for safer passage over US 97 and the railroad.
The in-person open house is from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Miércoles, julio 10, at the Campfire Hotel, Outpost Meeting Room, 721 NE 3rd Street. Park on Greeley Avenue. The meeting room is located across Greeley Avenue from the main hotel. (see map)
The online open house is available at bendoregon.gov/midtowncrossings now through julio 17.
Project designers and City staff will be available to provide information on the Hawthorne Overcrossing options, answer questions and listen to feedback.
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.
Midtown Crossings includes improvements to four key connectors in the area for people who ride bikes, walk and roll:
- Greenwood Avenue: Corridor and undercrossing quick-build improvements and long-term planning
- Franklin Avenue: Corridor and undercrossing improvements
- Second Street: Streetscape improvements
- Hawthorne Overcrossing: Preliminary design for a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge
The julio open house is focused on the Hawthorne Overcrossing. Learn more at bendoregon.gov/midtowncrossings.
