Galveston Avenue Open House

Help establish an Improvement Strategy for the future design of Galveston Avenue. We’d like to share ideas and hear your feedback!

Background:

A Task Force comprised of a collection of citizens, property and business owners

representing the Galveston Corridor and the city of Bend staff has been formed. This Task Force has been meeting over the past few months discussing ways to improve the Galveston Avenue corridor, between 14th Street and the Deschutes River.

The objective is to create a more desirable place to live, travel, shop and recreate, and also to establish a strategy for implementing future improvements along the corridor.

The Task Force has discussed concerns raised by citizens that frequent the corridor and has identified a number of ideas, opportunities and challenges related to fulfilling this goal. We would like to share our information and hear your comments and ideas about this important central Bend arterial street.

Issues include:

• Bike and pedestrian movements

• Business vitality

• Landscaping

• Motor vehicle parking

• Stormwater run-off & treatment

• Street corridor aesthetics & identity

• Street illumination

• Traffic-calming

• Travel safety

• Truck unloading

Location: Sons of Norway Hall - 549 NW Harmon
