Excellent idea , if you look at European cities that have restaurants with outdoor dining they bring a sense of community and freindlyness to the area , they have a way of allowing people to slow down take their time and have fun .

It is too soon to cuddle up to strangers in a crowded restaurant or bar

How about let's just open up the state and start living again. This question is just a distraction from the real issue.

Bend always needs more parking spots, but we don't waste our money on eating out so don't really care.

I don't see the point of this, it's still indoors

Because we need more parking and the tents do not enhance the look, openness and walk-ability of our downtown.

As much as I am all for outside dining, there has to be a balance between outdoor dining vs. parking spaces. Much parking has already been absorbed into dining already. Many people don't want to or can't walk great distances just to dine. We need to preserve parking!

It was a much needed creative way to help businesses during the height of the pandemic during a time they could not seat inside. They do not need to take the VERY limited parking downtown now that they can seat inside!

Because those parking spots are necessary for downtown business. Without customers, there is no business and Bend is so spread out, cars are required. I know Bend wants to eliminate vehicles, but that is not at all logical or possible.

It's fine to extend it a bit due to the pandemic, but we're already short on downtown parking and it's nice to be able to walk on the sidewalk.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Given the recent wildfires near Redmond, would you support a personal fireworks ban?
