The city of Bend is preparing for significant upgrades to Olney Avenue, with a pre-construction open house set for January 14 to inform residents about the planned changes. Scheduled from 4:30 to 6:30 p. m. at the Element Bend Hotel, the event will provide crucial details on safety enhancements for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Construction is slated to commence in February and will occur in phases to minimize traffic disruptions in the area.

The project will cover upgrades along Olney Avenue, extending from the Portland Avenue bridge to NE Second Street, and will include improvements at key intersections with Wall and Second Streets.
