JUNIPER RIDGE NEWS
City Begins Outreach at Juniper Ridge
Post Date: 02/18/2020 11:15 AMOn Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020, the City will begin an outreach process to inform people at established campsites on City-owned property in the Juniper Ridge area, located in the northeast corner of the Bend, that they need to move from the area within 60 days. The timing of this notice is intended to give people at established campsites ample time to safely and voluntarily move out of the City-owned property prior to the start of construction of the North Interceptor Sewer Line Project. It also allows the City to work with social service agencies to identify and offer critical resources for the safety of individuals experiencing homelessness.
Construction activities for the North Interceptor Sewer Line Project, which provides additional sewer capacity and improves sewer system operations, begins in mid-April.
The City recently adopted the Public Land Management Policy for Juniper Ridge, which calls for reasonable notice efforts approximately 60 days and 30 days prior to any organized removal and cleanup efforts in April of 2020, as well as a 24-hour notice required by State law.
Updates on Juniper Ridge are available at www.bendoregon.gov/juniperridge. The webpage also includes:
Juniper Ridge is a 500-acre industrial and business park that sits at the center of Central Oregon. The City is coordinating efforts to develop Juniper Ridge for industrial and employment uses, which includes installing the North Interceptor Sewer Line, developing infrastructure and selling land for industrial and employment development.
The City will not issue press releases whenever there are updates to any of these projects. However, interested parties can sign up for Juniper Ridge eNews notifications by visiting www.bendoregon.gov/enews and signing up for “Juniper Ridge” news.

Meet MVNA Board Member, Carol Elwood Carol Elwood is retired and actively volunteers in support of several community organizations. She has lived in Bend for 19 years and in MVNA for 13. She was involved with a group from her homeowners association regarding traffic issues in the neighborhood, and with the support of MVNA they were able to get the City’s timeline moved up to address their concerns. Through that involvement she decided that serving on the Board as Land Use Chair was her favorite focus. She has served on the Board for 3 years. Her greatest desire for the City is to see the inevitable growth happen in a way that is sustainable. She sees key components of that as “complete neighborhoods” where people don’t need to travel so far for their basic services, and transportation infrastructure that de-emphasizes single occupant car trips. When not volunteering, her favorite activities include biking, playing music, and reading. |
