This is a minimum of 10 years overdue. They widened and made 6th St. and 5th St. one-way in 2007, and they should have been considering a bypass at that time. This is definitely overdue. A bypass around Bend is mandatory and definitely overdue as well.

HWY 97 from the California border to the Columbia River should be minimum 2 lanes in each direction with median barrier.

It is essential to prevent further decay of the traffic movement that now causes thousands of hours of nonproductive activity on Hwy 97.

Just don't screw it up like last time! A bypass should bypass not bottle neck. Also Don't do like bend did and make it a dangerous bicycle lane and 45 mph, it should be a freeway bypass with easy access if Redmond is the goal for your trip.

It is needed but not on the back of Redmond citizens. This is a federal highway, I will vote no if they try to raise my taxes,

It will help the traffic that goes through there all the time and the semi trucks if they can have another way to go, because ones you get into Redmond long wait of Back up Traffic , So I hope this will help Thank you

The roads we have now aren't maintained by the city except to do the bare minimum. The cheap seal coat doesn't last and now they want to waste money on building this to which it too will fall into disrepair! The roundabouts not unless they can handle the Semi Trucks without going across center!

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.

You can grow or you can die. If parents want their children to grow up and to live here we need growth to do that. Good jobs! Next we need to get the cost of housing here down so people who grow up here can afford to buy homes here!

Amazon jobs are not good jobs. For example, they make their employees pee in plastic bottles...

I love that it will bring more jobs, and no longer waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery
