Infrastructure / Transportation It’s time to think bigger. We need some simple revisions to Bend’s Development Code to clear the way to walkable, bikeable, and small business-friendly neighborhoods all across the City. Right now, Bend’s zoning map identifies only a handful of neighborhood commercial zones. Every part of Bend can and should create more space for small businesses that support entrepreneurs, grow our economy, and make “complete communities” come to life. And, with over 2,000 acres of undeveloped land within our existing urban growth boundary we can do it. Infrastructure / Transportation On City Council I’ll work to make sure that programs that lower road speeds become a top priority. We need to listen to residents who have localized issues with speeding or cut through traffic, and work with them to develop traffic-calming projects like speed bumps or more narrow lanes for cars.
