Wilson Avenue Corridor is officially open!  

As of Tuesday, the Wilson Avenue corridor is fully open! Thank you to all who joined the community earlier this week to celebrate the completion of the Wilson Avenue Corridor Project! 

The corridor is now open for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Please note that work will continue in the right-of-way, including landscaping, striping, and tasks related to private property associated with the project. Additionally, after further coordination and permitting with the BNSF railway, there will be additional work on Wilson Avenue at the railroad, potentially next year. 

“The Wilson Avenue Corridor is the first GO Bond project completion to celebrate,” said Mayor Melanie Kebler. “It also supports our Council goals to improve the transportation system with a focus on safety. I’m particularly excited about Bend’s first bicycle-protected roundabout at Ninth Street and Wilson Avenue that provides designated crossings, reducing the risk of collisions with cars, and also the protective designs for bike safety at Third Street.”
