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.

Yes! And the minute they come back stop them in there tracks and not let them set up again. This will eliminate future sweeps.
ReplyNO WILD CAMPING on public streets that’s what campgrounds are for!! NOBODY is above the law,
ReplyThey shouldn't be there in the first place. Camps should only be allowed outside of city limits. Sweep away!
ReplyMaybe ppl will get tired of having to move enough that they will opt for a temporary shelter in a building or 1 of those single-bed homes like they are building in Portland. Saw on the news last night. tiny house with room for sgl bed and the "village" has community bathrooms and is managed onsite.
ReplyWe dont want Bend to turn onto Portland
ReplyTriage housing services based on priority and need, overall people need to be willing to seek mental health support, abide by curfew and no drugs and no alcohol and rules like no pets, then, based on need first families with kids, then elderly then other adults
ReplyBend is looking like Portland and southern California
