Traffic issues on the North end are being fixed. It won't be as close, but will be nice to have quality gas at a good price.

Can't wait for them to move to a more convenient site.

Yes, Costco will add to traffic challenges at the North end of town but the traffic in that area has been a nightmare for decades. I blame the mess on the City, County, ODOT and the Feds, for failing to adequately address issues years earlier.

I know everyone will be complaining about traffic. However, the last time Costco considered the north end, Bend wanted them to take care of all of the traffic problems. Now, with the north end rebuild, it will be dealt with. I highly doubt the let Costco in for free and they are paying their shar

Traffic getting in and out of this area is already bad, and they want to add a Costco?

Traffic is so bad on the north end and now it will be worse. Trying to get from the empire ramp to hywy 97 is just nerve racking. Then trying to move left across lanes to get into the shopping stores is impossible now. Costco will be so busy it won't be worth going there. Have two stores.

This will be a considerable inconvenience for me. I live in La Pine and come to Bend once a week for a veterans support group meeting. I try to combine this trip with as many other activities as possible, like visits to the anticoagulation clinic at the hospital and shopping at Costco and Fred Mey

The traffic in Bend is a nightmare anyway. No matter where you go.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
