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.

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
