DBBA Weekly Update | 3/11/21

This week was filled with community meetings filled with wonderful people who love Downtown!
How can we find more funding for Downtown?
What does the future of Downtown streets and parklets look like?
How can we communicate better about parking in Downtown?
What changes need to be made to DBBA bylaws to allow for the organizations growth?
Who would need to be on a future of Downtown visioning committee?
.... and so much more!  People working very hard to answer these questions, solve problems, and bring the future vision into focus.  

​If you are interested in being a part of these conversations, or have feedback that you'd like us to take to these conversations on your behalf, please contact us. 

We also did some deeper cleaning of the streets and alleys in Downtown Bend.  With the temperature warming up, and COVID restrictions easing, it seemed like an ideal time to roll up our sleeves, and make sure that Downtown is looking better than ever.  

We also saw quite a bit of unwanted behavior this week (turned over planters & newspaper boxes, smashed doggie bag containers, increased graffiti.  We made sure that all of this was cleaned up and alerted Bend PD to this behavior.

Again this week we were hard at work putting together our presentation for City Council on 3/17, and gathering all of the details for our upcoming EID renewal.  We are working are on this renewal so that we can continue to serve you!  If you have any questions about the 2021 EID renewal, click here.

Additionally, we met with our core group of sponsors and volunteers and started planning Bend Oktoberfest 2021!  Whoohoo!

The DBBA is a small nonprofit dedicated to increasing the vitality of Downtown Bend./
