City of Bend receives nearly $25 million
for bike and pedestrian-only Hawthorne Crossing project
The City of Bend was just awarded about $25 million in state and federal dollars for its landmark Hawthorne Avenue Pedestrian and Bicyclist Overcrossing project, a key new cross-town walking and biking connection now in the planning stages.
Close to $20 million in funding comes through the federal Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) discretionary grant program. Additionally, through House Bill 5030, in which money is allocated to local priorities across Oregon, the state Legislature allocated $5 million for the Hawthorne Overcrossing. City of Bend Senior Management Analyst Sarah Hutson says, "It's really going to connect downtown Bend to Bend's Central District by providing safe and comfortable walking and biking opportunities."
It's really looking to cross the railroad and the Parkway, to connect into the local street network on either side. I believe it'll connect to Second Street on the east and Hill Street on the west," Hutson said. "It's really going to unlock the potential of the core area of Bend, catalyze much-needed mixed-use development and housing and employment opportunities."
As of now, there's no timetable for when the project will break ground, or be completed. But details like the bridge's span, width and height will be determined in the near future.
