ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Midtown Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing Feasibility Study will find opportunities to improve east west connectivity through safer walking and biking connections in the Central Core area of Bend.
This study will look at what’s possible for new and improved pedestrian and bicycle crossings of the US 97 Bend Parkway and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad at the following locations:
- Greenwood Avenue existing undercrossing
