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.

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.

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?

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students

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