This project will identify opportunities to improve east west connectivity through safer walking and biking connections in the Central Core area of Bend.


The purpose of this project is to identify improvement opportunities at three locations including two existing undercrossings of the U.S. 97 Parkway and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad as well as the potential for a new overcrossing over the railroad and parkway on Hawthorne Avenue. Potential locations include:

  • Greenwood Corridor & Undercrossing
  • Franklin Corridor & Undercrossing
  • Hawthorne Key Walking/Biking Route – Potential Overcrossing
