Existing thoroughfares in Bend are a puzzle no matter what route you take from one side of town to the other. If we had more options to either travel over or under Highway 97, congestion would decrease greatly. Show Less

Reed Market is always such a mess, esp. with the train.

Ka San

We need something south of the Reed Market crossover very badly.

Sandy Ewing

Another? If you think there is one then it needs to be widened to accomodate the traffice instead of 2 lane and NO turning lanes.

Bruce Sharp

Have to go from the east side to the west side often. Have been caught in terrible traffic or because of a train many times. We need more roads that do not stop traffic if a train passes through.

John Driscoll

Bend has more or less the same road network it did when the town's population was 40,000

Sam Ackerman

We need a hwy 20 bypass. A true by past. Not some parkway with bike lanes and walking paths.

Nate Hamilton

Another? This question must have been submitted by someone that only travels N-S in Bend!!!

Chris Evans

It is always a much longer drive going east to west than it is north to south in Bend.

We have four main thoroughfares right now, but they can be widened and/or better maintained to ease congestion. A new overpass will not solve the problem, and exacerbate traffic... Show More

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
