Maybe less rowdy people and wild kids running around ruining the peace and quiet.

I don't want to plan ahead that much - prefer the spontaneous outings.

Marcus Ainsworth

so we need a permit to walk in the woods now. What's next?

Duane Wyman

Your question really needs to address wilderness camping as that activity impacts greatly the wilderness landscape. Day, permits, visits are far less destructive to the Three Sisters Wilderness and easier to obtain.

I'll go out just somewhere else.

We already pay taxes on this land and this adds a spontanious barrier to access. Loicals should be able to go and hike anytime anywhere. Permits can be for visitors

Your already paying for high gas prices to get there

Duane Wyman

Dude, try to hike the Wonderland Trail at MRNP. It is a lottery for dates - good luck.

Duane Wyman

It is enforced to preserve the overall wilderness experience to benefit all who recreate and obtain a wild connection to Nature.

Just one more thing you have to pay for

Do you think changes are needed to the downtown Bend outdoor dining program?

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.
