Might as well look like Portland at this point because many Portlanders are moving here.

Reach for the sky, Bend! Be that big city you know you want to be. Then expand up and down the 97 corridor. Build it and "they" will come. And we all know who "they" are.

Help fight sprawl by building up.

Let's keep the footprint of the city smaller and be able to provide services that will reach everyone. Transportation, events, schools, healthcare, shopping, etc.

We need to prevent urban sprawl. Also, we cannot expand out until we have infrascructure. Sewer lines, road construction and power lines are expensive.

It is better for the environmental impact to allow more housing in rural areas. EXPAND. Go OUT.

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.
