Wanted: Your Speed Radar Sign Requests! Every year, the City of Bend provides speed radar signs to our NAs to track speeding and daily traffic volume, as well as remind drivers to slow down. If you have a location request, please fill out this form by April 10. Per the City's guidelines, "the street locations should be more than three blocks long, connect other streets in the neighborhood, and have multiple speeding complaints. Signs can only go where there is an existing speed sign post or space in the shoulder." Thank you!
Neighborhood Safe Streets Project (NSSP) Update: The latest phase of the NSSP projects will be wrapped up this summer, with the next phase entering the design process soon. Project 20: Traffic Calming at Providence and Locksley will be in this next phase. This project was requested by our neighbors living on Providence to slow traffic and create a crosswalk to Providence Park. We will keep you posted as this project moves out of the design phase and into construction. You can learn more about NSSP here on the City's website.
