Bend's Parking Requirements

This month’s forum is about a much discussed issue being considered by Bend’s city council. Should we remove parking space requirements for new construction of houses, apartments and businesses? Advocates say this could help with our current housing crisis and make Bend more sustainable. Opponents argue this will lead to more parking problems in the city.

Next month’s forum moderator will be Brenna Visser, reporter with the Bend Bulletin. Speakers will be Melanie Kebler, Bend City Councilor and Eric Jaffe, Editorial Director of Sidewalk Labs.
