the 3or 4 which have virtually no merging lane to the south bound side

I would close only one on/off area to see how it works instead of closing all 3

Bend's not big enough to do this - but we should address why every on-ramp is different along the Bend Parkway.

Instead of meters how about fixing the on and off ramps with correct merge and exit lanes

I have lived in cities with these, and they are not that helpful. Many times, they stay red even when there is no traffic. I would never rely on them w/o looking back 1st, so what's the point?.

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.

Sam Davis

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.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

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?
