Jetty Pathway Project

In 2009, ownership of South Jetty Park was transferred from Coos County ot the City of Bandon. Subsequently, the City's Parks Master Plan was amended to include this park and the Parks & Recreation Commission, in partnership with the Planning and Public Works Departments, have been working diligently ever since to develop plans for new facilities. One of those facilities was creating a pathway that connects First Street SW in Old Town, out to the Jetty. This was also planned for the the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Map.

Edison Avenue SW

In 2018, the City contracted with the Dyer Partnership to develop three alternatives for path construction to review safety, cost, and ease to construct. Due to cost, preliminary engineering plans were only developed for the connection on Edison, between First Street and Jetty Road in 2019. This project is identified in the City's Urban Renewal Area 1 Plan, and $325,000 has been set aside in the 2020-2021 City of Bandon Annual Budget.

In 2020, the City applied for, and recieved, $100,000 in Small City Allotment funds, from the Oregon Department of Transportation, to support this project. 

Construction is expected in Fall 2023. This page will be updated regularly with timeline updates. If you have any questions, please contact the Planning Department here.
