OR: US 97 in Bend
« on: January 23, 2025, 01:56:27 pm »
An extension of the Bend Parkway opened a few months ago, with a new alignment up to the Cooley Road area for US 97: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/projects/pages/project-details.aspx?project=21229

Updated Street View imagery indicates that the old alignment is now an extension of Business Route 97: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mWXV1FCFtd82zCL68

A few more issues with US-97 in that area:

142 -> ChiHatRd or PonSt (There is NO exit number posted there.)
141A -> Was there really an exit here?  Doesn't seem to be, at least anymore.  Seems per GSV from 2012, it was just a 'named' road.  So, if you 'must' keep it, probably should be *RomVilWay instead.

Does sound tasty, with some cheese, almonds, strawberries, and a good vinaigrette...


All changes done locally. Will submit with the Sikkim and Uttar Pradesh drafts I'm working on.

Seems like this hasn't been updated to account for this. https://www.oregon.gov/odot/projects/pages/project-details.aspx?project=21229

Not sure what the state of US-97 BUS is though here.

It's been updated, I just haven't uploaded it yet.

Another suggestion related to the eventual change: add a waypoint for US 20 at Cooley Road, as it is now the suggested way to do a US 20-to-US 97 turn.

I think there should also be a waypoint just above it, marking the US-97/US-97-BR split. In GSV I can see that that split is already signed for the business route. That would also mean that Empire Ave is no longer part of the business route.

There is also an old segment of US-97 From Empire Ave up to the US-20 interchange, but that's been reduced to a NB ramp. It probably doesn't belong in TM at all any more, since it's not part of the main line of US-97, US-97-BR, or US-20. I'm not even sure why they built that ramp, since there's no analog to it in the other direction.

Added points on US 20 for both Cooley Road and Robel Lane, matching the fixes to US 97 and 97B (no Cooley Lane for mainline 97).
