The purpose of the project is to produce a construction-ready design for Riverfront Street that 1) provides the missing link of the Deschutes River Trail between Drake Park and Miller's Landing Park, 2) rebuilds Riverfront Street to address its failing pavement conditions, and 3) upgrades the existing stormwater system.

Improving the transportation system by focusing on safety is a City Council goal. Creating safer connections between neighborhoods, places of work, schools, parks and businesses, for people who ride bikes, walk or roll, is a City priority. The City is designing a variety of safer and more accessible bike and pedestrian routes throughout the community.

Based on public feedback, the City of Bend and Bend Park and Recreation District plan to proceed with a one-way design concept of Riverfront Street. Next, during the design phase of the project, the City will refine the one-way concept.
