Building a Better Bend
Bill believes that Bend needs to get ahead
of growth, instead of reacting to predictable ramifications. When visiting with
Bend residents, he hears consistent concerns about traffic, safety and noise.
Bend desperately needs a plan to address livability issues associated with
growth. We will end up somewhere; the only question is whether we choose that
future, or it happens to us.
Some
of Bill’s areas of focus regarding livability include:
- Downtown Safety
- Growth Management
- Noise Management
- Tourism Reduction
