About

This project is part of our strategy to improve accessibility by correcting non-ADA compliant curb ramps and signalized intersections on state highway segments in the communities of Sisters and Bend.  

The project will enhance accessibility, safety, and connectivity of pedestrian crossings at both signalized and non-signalized intersections and at mid-block crossings by upgrading existing curb ramps, altering pedestrian signals, and constructing missing curb ramps. ​
