• Quality Natural Environment – As Bend grows, it preserves and enhances natural areas. Bend takes a balanced approach to environmental protection and building a great city.
• Connections to Recreation and Nature – Bend continues to enhance its network of parks, trails, greenbelts, recreational facilities, and scenic views inside and outside the City.
• Great Neighborhoods – Bend has a variety of great neighborhoods that are well-designed, safe, walkable, and include local schools and parks. Small neighborhoods provide local shops, a mix of housing types, and community gathering places.
• Strong Active Downtown – Bend’s downtown continues to be an active focal point for residents and visitors with strong businesses, arts and cultural opportunities, and gathering places.
• Balanced Transportation System – Bend’s balanced transportation system incorporates an improved, well-connected system of facilities for walking, bicycling, and public transit, while also providing a safe and reliable system for drivers.
