It's up to the parents to tell their kids what the rules are. If the parents don't know then they should look it up. I see kids riding their bikes on the side walks all the time. Doesn't make it right.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.

Both E-Bikes and Pedal Bikes need more control by Bend Police. Start issuing tickets instead of Warnings to violators and impound bikes for repeat offenders.
ReplyTheir should not be any bikes allowed on and roadway that does not have a designated bike lane or at least some shoulder space! It is dangerous irritating, problematic and they should not have any right, they dont pay any road tax, gas taxes, nothing! Totailly backwards!
ReplyYes. I bike but have seen a trend in riders ignoring traffic laws and safety rules. More & more the "elitist" mentality of riders, who seem to think laws don't apply to them. This is being exasperated w/new riders jumping into the e-bike craze!
ReplySafety measure just like for motercycles
