But, before you spend a bunch of money on an access point, please increase parking. This is even a bigger problem....and doesn't appear to be part of the improvement plan anywhere?
Your question is a leading question? Most folks don'te embrace change easily. In the long-term it will help the North side be safe and navigable for the next several years; especially as Costco & Fred Meyer join the mix. Everyone knows congestion and traffic in Bend is exploding - suck it up.
I work at Lowe’s part time and I straight up got lost the first time. I’ve been so used to just going straight down 97 and before I knew it I was on my way to Redmond. To not be late for work I had to pull a u-turn and I’ve seen lots of people doing the same which is unsafe. There is no signage
Whoever designs these highway changes needs to go back to school. The bypass in Redmond was stupid too. And I really dislike the round abouts everywhere, especially the area coming from Sisters to Bend. I do like the artwork, but you only get a few seconds to enjoy it or have an accident.
bend already has a costco. the number of businesses that became instantly inaccessible by adding 6 miles of additional, unnecessary drive time is both disturbing and concerning. not to mention the amount of u-turning happening on a busy highway as a result.

ReplyUsually there's too many people in the area and it's congested we need a better system definitely 😁
