The City of Bend has called out contracted services to support our snow management on Bend local and residential streets. Those with vehicles parked on residential streets are encouraged to move them off the street to help the plows clear streets from curb to curb. 

City crews have plowed or sanded about 75 percent of Bend’s collectors and arterials as of 8 a.m. this morning. In addition to evening crews yesterday, a full crew was called out at 2 a.m. this morning to continue our snow management efforts. Crews continue their efforts through the day with the additional support of contracted crews.
