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.

ODOT, and other state agencies need to live within a reasonable budget and the state needs to stop raising taxes!

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.
