Absolutely! The need is here in Central Oregon for a by-pass around Sisters. South of Sisters on Elm St (3 Creeks Road) I hear Sisters ODOT has had plans for years for this accommodation. Call 'em!

Would love to see 4 way stops at Drouillard and Lemhi, and Newport Hills and Lemhi. Three accidents I'm aware of in the last year or so, two of which were lucky no fatalities, could have been avoided.

Where Old bend Redmond highway and 20 meet, also cook ave in Tumalo where it meets 20 and OB Riley. Living near Tumalo these are my best routes to bend and they have gotten very bad the last few years

The streets in NWX narrow at intersections, which makes it very hard to turn onto a street when another vehicle is there, waiting to turn onto the street you are turning from. Very poor design.

15th and Wilson. Definitely needs traffic flow help. If a round about is not an option due to space, perhaps a light ought to be!

Roundabout at Powell Butte Highway and Butler Market Road would prevent a lot of accidents. Traffic light at Hwy 20 and Erickson.

Bypass around Bend and double lanes in Hwy. 97 all the way to Klamath Falls.

Reroute 97, put a light where the old highway hits 20 or put in an interchange, put another parking garage downtown, more and wider biking lanes and more sidewalks.

Change the light at 3rd and Brosterhous/Division so the East and West bound traffic has to take turns. Reds are constantly ran when someone is turning left.

There needs to be a change at the intersection of Erickson, Torkelson and E. Hwy 20. Either closing Erickson & Torkelson to Hwy 20 or a traffic light at this site would be the right thing to do.

The comments on the "yes" side are mostly calling for improvements in town, outside of neighborhoods. While I agree big changes need to be made as Bend grows, it is not the topic of this poll.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
