WHEREAS, traffic on that portion of U.S. Highway 97 running
through the City of Bend and its urban area in Deschutes County
is so heavy that some form of additional north -south arterial is
necessary to facilitate moving traffic to and from points along
the Highway 97 corridor in the Bend urban area; and
WHEREAS, the Oregon Department of Transportation has after
extensive analysis of traffic patterns and alternative north -
south arterial alignments determined that a north -south arterial
located close in to the City of Bend is the preferable alterna-
tive to meet the Bend urban area's transportation needs along the
U.S. Highway 97 corridor while minimizing cost and the displace-
ment of existing residential and commercial uses; and
WHEREAS, as a result of its north -south Highway 97 arterial
study, the Oregon Department of Transportation has proposed a
limited access highway known as the Bend Parkway project, as
depicted in Exhibit "A "; and
WHEREAS, construction of the Parkway would be financed
largely through funding provided by the State Department of
Transportation, which funding may not be available in the future
if the current Bend Parkway proposal is not pursued; and
WHEREAS, numerous citizens in the City of Bend and in
Deschutes County have objected to the proposed Bend Parkway and
have succeeded in qualifying Measure No. 9 -1 on the ballot for
the September 18, 1990 election in opposition to the Bend
Parkway; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners believes that passage
and implementation of Measure No. 9 -1 as written would have the
effect of preventing the Parkway from being constructed and would
in addition prevent the routine maintenance and improvement of
all 432 miles of collectors and arterials in Deschutes County;
and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners believes that continued
maintenance and improvement of the County's collectors and
arterials and construction of the Parkway is essential for
maintaining Central Oregon's quality of life and properly manag-
ing its growth; now, therefore,
1 - RESOLUTION NO. 90 -085
104 " 1284
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, as follows:
Section 1. That the Board supports the Bend Parkway project
as proposed by the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Section 2. That the Board does not support passage of
Measure No. 9 -1 on the ballot for the September 18, 1990, special
election limiting County highway funding and permit approval.
