Bend General Obligation (GO) Bond Improvements
Provide capacity at key bottlenecks while balancing multimodal corridor needs.
Quick Facts
Bend GO Bond Program provides $30 million for capital street improvement projects
DKS led the transportation analysis of six roadway improvement projects
Results
The analyses helped the City select reasonably funded concepts that provide capacity to serve congestion at key bottlenecks while balancing the desire to create neighborhood-friendly multimodal corridors
The final designs meet the funding constraints of the City, provide compatibility with long-range corridor plans, and are supported by the community
Our Work
Led the transportation evaluation to determine long-term travel demands for each project, evaluated options for intersection control and geometrics and recommended potential phasing strategies
Evaluated traffic control options based on traffic operations, bicycle and pedestrian system integration, design vehicles, surrounding land uses, safety, right-of-way impacts, and other criteria
Compared roundabout control to traffic signal control at six intersections, including single- and multi-lane configurations
Provided traffic engineering services to develop roadway lighting plans
Provided peer review of signing and striping
Provided support for the coordination of temporary traffic control during construction
