 Did you know that a small nonprofit called the Downtown Bend Business Association (DBBA for short) is actively working to build and grow our vibrant downtown core? Currently the DBBA is responsible for everything you think of as the 'downtown experience'... daily sidewalk cleaning, decorating, snow removal, branding, marketing, community events... and so much more. For a full list of DBBA responsibilities, click here. The DBBA is earnestly raising funds to beautify our downtown. They recently purchased and installed new directories in the Downtown core. These directories will help downtown guests find the locations and experiences they are looking for as well as providing a stream of revenue to the DBBA to further downtown beautification. The DBBA also provides banners for downtown, and holds several fundraisers throughout the year, including Bend Oktoberfest & The Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl. In addition, the DBBA always gratefully accepts your tax-deductible donations. What is your dream for our Downtown?Interactive art? Reclaimed alleys? Trash cans and benches? Parklets? Murals? Covered bike parking? Holiday decorations? What is your dream for Downtown?

1. We need secure, dedicated bike parking. We’ve invested in electric bikes and except for 4th of July where BP and R offers a valet service in the park, there is no safe place to park them. Locking is not enough when a thief can just cut your cable.

To have a large parking ramp downtown and make several streets of Bond and Wall into a walking park....flowers....like a outdoor mall area. It would be awesome not to have all those cars on those streets and to beautify the area. Leave a Reply. |
