We need to do something to help maintain transportation system, ensuring safe and efficient movement of people in freight which is crucial for the economy and quality of life by providing services like road maintenance, snow removal, vehicle licensing and public transit support.

NO MORE TAXES on property owners!!!!!!!!!

Latterdaysaint

No to more taxes, people are taxed enough!

JB Demaris

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

John Conway

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!

Garry Aklin

We are taxed enough ! Oregon needs to balance the budget!

Jim Hipp

We are taxed to death and I'm sick of it. Let Tina cover it out of her pocket!

Pam Ferguson

We are paying enough. The odor people have NOTbeen doing their jobs the last few years. You never see them out working like you used to and there are a lot of "mistakes" it started going down hill when they went to "teams" no boss system

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

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.

Pat Glandon

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??

Jay B Lane

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.
