The parkway divides the city in two - the bridge will provide a safe crossing for walkers, riders, rollers, helping to reconnect the city and make it more friendly

I think the new bridge is fine, though I will probably not use it. I do, however, have one question, specifically, why did we do the new Greenwood bike lanes if we are going to build a new bridge with bike lanes that will seemingly serve nearly the same purpose? Just curious.

I bike with my kids and the Franklin underpass is scary. A bike bridge from east to west is desperately needed.

We don't need it. No one is going to walk that far everyone drives. Maye the bridge isn't that long but you still have to walk to it to use it. Then if you do buy stuff while shopping you have to carry it back to where you came from.

Design Doesn't Match the Town. Waste of Tax Payer money. We should be solving the homeless encampment problems; those along the parkway and out in the forest (creating human caused fires).

Huge waste of money. Will be a homeless camp in less than a year. Meanwhile corrupted runaway development remains unchecked.

We have bigger problems in Bend, like homeless encampments that start fires. I'd rather Bend take care of the priorities that put people's life and property in danger than waste tax dollars on an overpriced pedestrian only bridge.

The design doesn't fit the town. Maybe ok for Portland.

Because it doesn't fit in with Bend. I understand that Bend will continue to grow, but we can still try to keep the feeling of small town Bend alive, the "chosen" design doesn't represent Bend and as many Bend residents concur, I sincerely hope the design will be reconsidered before being finalized.

Greenwood was just updated with bicycle and pedestrian lanes. Waste of money and will end up being a hang out for unsavory individuals at both ends.
