Yes as long as they find a way for the bicycle riders to pay for them like I have to pay to drive my car on the road / motorcycle on the road / kayak on the water / boat on the water .

Bike lanes are great, but cyclists have to follow the same rules as vehicles. Also vehicles have to pay attention for cyclists so they are not hit and killed. Especially since they are going the same directions.

Yes because bikes should never be on any roads!

Bike riders have very little respect for the traffic laws. As a driver around Bend every day, it's a challenge to avoid bikes that disregard the laws of the road. I think that all bikes should be licensed to pay for bike lanes and cited for traffic violations.

They act like Bikes are the solution to Bend's infrastructure problem. All my life the city has flexed on how fast growing Bend is, yet they've never done anything to increase road sizes, add any bipasses or cut throughs. Here we are decades later seeing the impact of poor planning. Also, winter...

Bike riding is commendable, but a seemingly tiny minority routinely does it.

Bend traffic is already out of control, adding more bikes and lanes compounds the issue, also bike riders pay no fees to provide road maintenance, and many on sidewalks and not paying attention to traffic.

Why have more bike lanes when most of the bikers seem to be on the sidewalks anyway?

They tend to ride in the middle of the road anyways.

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

BV is not a good quality restaurant for the cost. Have never liked them and always like Del Taco.
