Bus stop construction for CET’s Routes 8 and 9 begins next week through October
Hello Mountainview, Boyd Acres, and Larkspur Neighborhood Districts,
CET’s contractor, Cascades Civil Corps, will begin constructing bus stops in NE and SE Bend neighborhoods for Routes 8 and 9 starting next week throughout the month of October. Information about the routes are posted on CET’s website, Facebook, and Twitter pages.
If you would like to receive additional information about the construction of bus stops, please contact me directly at dhofbauer@coic.org or 541-548-9534. We also have detailed information about Routes 8 and 9 on our website that includes route maps, city-approved drawings of the bus stop locations, and public engagement efforts that were conducted with Neighborhood Districts over the past couple of years.
The bus stops that are being constructed are rectangular-shaped, ADA-compliant concrete pads that extend out from existing sidewalks, so they will barely be noticeable once built. Once we hire enough drivers, we will focus on operating each of the routes and install signage and benches in ideal locations, which will likely take place early next year.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
