[singlepic id=96 w=320 h=240 float=left]The City of Bend is holding two kickoff meetings for the transportation General Obligation (G.O.) Bond program. Both meetings will be held Tuesday, Jan. 24 in the City Council Chambers at Bend City Hall, 710 NW Wall St. A daytime meeting will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and an identical evening meeting will follow from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The public is invited to drop in at any time.
The G.O. Bond program is a voter-approved package of street and intersection improvements located throughout the city. The bond measure authorized $30 million for eight separate projects which were selected based on known safety and congestion issues, geographic location, and the opportunity to provide local construction jobs. Currently, the projects are being designed, with construction on some starting as soon as this summer.
At the meetings, staff will provide an overview of the program as well as general information about each construction project. Future public meetings will be held closer to construction, as well as briefings with Neighborhood Associations this spring.
