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.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
