It makes zero sense to have humans running around with fire creating devices when Mother Nature is doing an excellent job of starting too many fires on her own.

It is always at a time when there is great fire Danger in our Area, I support permanent Ban on all fireworks, have a nice Parade instead and a Picnic in the Drake Park or other parks, with ball games and watermelon!

Yes, the weather, but July 4th is OVER! There is no reason for random fireworks, especially during such dangerous weather.

It's extremely annoying listening to sudden pops of explosions all times of the day, not to mention it goes on for days. People with PTSD and animals certainly don't need this too add to their anxiety. I've also noticed illegal fireworks from WA growing and what about air pollution? GET RID OF THEM!

For the sake of Veterans with PTSD and for the sake of pets it should be permanently banned. The 4th is not for celebrating fireworks, Its for celebrating break from British rule and the Veterans and minute men that fought for it. Ironic that the way we celebrate it triggers PTSD in Veterans.

This ban should be permanent. No more fireworks for personal use. If you don't like it, move. We Central Oregonians do not like wild fires. Save our forest, personal property and wildlife. This is a major step towards it.

Fire danger is still extreme. A permanent ban would be a good thing.

Not everyone is irresponsible with fireworks. I dont see anything wrong with letting off some fireworks in the street, like the past 27 years I've been alive.......

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.

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

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.
