Aune Safety and Connectivity Project Open House
Aune Safety and Connectivity Project Design Open House & Survey
Community members are invited to an open house, in person or online, to explore proposed safety and connectivity improvements at the southern end of Bend’s Core Area. The project area has seen more traffic and new development, and users have reported it is still hard to travel east to west—whether you’re driving, walking, or biking.
We are exploring different ways to improve several intersections and streets from the Aune Street undercrossing of the Bend Parkway to and along 3rd Street up to Burnside Avenue. If approved, these upgrades will:
-
Reduce vehicle conflict points
-
Enhance accessibility for all users of the existing Aune Street undercrossing to support east-west connectivity
-
Improve key routes for cyclists and pedestrians
By implementing complete street connections and safety improvements, the project will make driving safer, walking and biking more comfortable, and strengthen connections between the Old Mill District and east Bend.
