I think the program should be extended because it benefits benefits. The weather is changing and more people will want to sit outside.

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

There's not enough parking spots in downtown Bend. I think more people will go out this summer and there won't be enough parking.

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

Teresa Parsons

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

Sheri Bellefeuille

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!

Kathy Janus

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!

Valerie Rhodes Kifer

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.

Kim Smith

We’re will people that need parking park? We don’t have enough parking as it is downtown!

Amanda Wallace

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.

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
