Attachment 1 - Email from Nancy Crossan
Hi.
I drive down Portland Ave daily at all times of the day.
I am concerned with the on street parking on the west side. It prohibits a bike
lane in some spots, up and over a hill. I’ve almost hit a cyclist and pedestrians on
this street.
I am not new to Bend.
I delivered mail in our city from 1983 until I retired 10 yrs ago. That’s 30 yrs of
driving and walking Bend streets.
Back then we had plenty of room to drive our delivery vehicles, stop at
mailboxes, and get in and out of traffic safely. This is not the case with the growth
and the parking and driving challenges it brings.
If there is anything I can do to help this situation, please let me know.
Please share my concern with the appropriate contacts.
Thank you,
Nancy Crossan
