Members Needed for Tree Regulation Update Advisory Committee!

5/8/2023

0 Comments

 
The City is looking for community members to join a new temporary committee designed to help guide the future of how and where trees will be regulated in Bend.
On May 3, the Bend City Council approved a resolution that forms a temporary committee called the Tree Regulation Update Advisory Committee. The committee, which will range between 11-15 people, is charged with developing and proposing potential changes to City codes and standards for tree preservation.
 
The committee will be comprised of the following members:
  • One member of the Human Rights and Equity Commission
  • One member of the Environment and Climate Committee
  • One member of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
  • One member of the Neighborhood Leadership Alliance
  • Arborist(s)
  • Developers representing affordable housing, production housing and commercial development
  • Members from the community at large and from community organizations
  • Bend Park and Recreation District staff person, as a non-voting member
The focus of this work effort is to update regulations for managing trees on sites proposed for new, large-scale development – like a subdivision or commercial center. The Council also wants to explore ways to preserve and expand Bend’s overall urban canopy.


Anyone interested who fits into one of the categories listed above can apply on the Advisory Committee Application webpage on the city’s website by 5 p.m. on May 12.
For more information and overall timeline for the code update, visit the Tree Regulation Update webpage.

Awbrey Butte Waterline Project Update - March 17, 2023

4/4/2023

0 Comments

 
Post Date: 03/17/2023 9:00 AM
The Awbrey Butte Waterline Improvement Project will improve Bend’s ability to deliver water across the City and increase the system’s resiliency and reliability by installing approximately 4.25 miles of pipeline.
Project Update – March 2023 Currently, there is limited fieldwork planned for March. However, residents will receive notifications of any changes.

On May 9, 2023, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, the City of Bend will host an informational meeting for Phase 1 of the Awbrey Butte Waterline Improvement Project. The meeting will cover essential topics, such as the project's goals and purpose, construction phasing, construction impacts and the timeline of the subprojects. We invite you to meet our project team members and learn about our plans to keep our neighbors informed. Phase 1 improvements will begin in June and be constructed in stages through the winter of 2023 to minimize traffic impacts. 

Portland Avenue roadway improvements will be built as a synergy project concurrent with the Awbrey Butte Distribution Improvement Project. Safety, traffic calming and multimodal connectivity improvements along the Portland Avenue corridor are currently being evaluated and are in the planning phase. The design of potential improvements along the corridor will begin this spring. The City plans to hold an in-person meeting to discuss the improvements with the public this summer.

The City is committed to keeping neighbors informed throughout the project through the project website, public informational meetings, mailings, emails, and door hangers. In advance of construction activities in your neighborhood, residents will receive a more detailed notification with specific information regarding construction impacts. For more information, contact the project team at awbreywaterline@bendoregon.gov.

You may also monitor current and upcoming detours and closures at www.bendoregon.gov/traffic.
Project Map – subject to change Additional information and Subproject details for the Awbrey Butte Waterline Improvement Project can be found at www.bendoregon.gov/awbrey-waterline. 
TENTATIVE PROJECT SCHEDULEThe project design and construction will be completed in phases. The schedule below will be updated as more information becomes available and is subject to change. This project is utilizing an alternative delivery method known as Progressive Design-Build, which includes selecting the contractor and engineer simultaneously. Therefore, some of the design will overlap with portions of construction throughout the project. Individual properties may not be impacted for the entire duration of the construction schedules presented below.

Subprojects 1, 3, 4, 5, 6: September 2022 - fall 2023
Subprojects 2, 7, 8, 9: November 2022 - spring 2024

Community Survey Begins Thursday 12/1/22; Results will be shared with City Council

11/30/2022

0 Comments

 
The City of Bend seeks community feedback to guide priorities and direction for the next two years. People in Bend may receive a call or a text in early December asking participants to answer questions about the City and City services. Phone calls and texts requesting survey participation will begin December 1.


The community survey intends to get a sense of how Bend residents perceive City services and to assess what City services the community prioritizes. The phone survey should take about 10 minutes. Community participation will help the City set priorities and will be presented to the Bend City Council as they embark on their next round of biennial goal setting.  
 
Also, for those who don’t get randomly chosen for a call on a cell phone or a landline, the City will launch a similar online Community Survey on December 12 so everyone can have an opportunity to provide input. The online survey will be available in English and Spanish. Online survey results will complement the representative phone survey and will also be shared with the Council.  Watch bendoregon.gov for the online survey later in December.
