The City of Bend is taking public input about where residents would like to see more climate friendly communities. Those are places like Northwest Crossing — a connected mix of homes, businesses, parks, schools and amenities all within walking distance.
The City is looking for more areas to incorporate this concept.
“It gives people the choice to not necessarily have to drive every time they leave their home. So they might have a restaurant or a dentist that they can walk to rather than getting in their car for every single trip,” said Elise Vukelich, City of Bend Growth Management Associate Planner.
