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.

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.

ReplyBend is completely safe to me but then again I would not be out and about when all the tweekers and barflys are at all times of the night and early morning hours. Just common sense!
ReplyI feel extremely safe in dntn Bend. 2 Chris C-LONG gone are the days one could leave anything ANYWHERE unlocked, not just Bend. Go back to 1970 if you want 2 leave cars, doors unlocked. common sense.
ReplyIf you have a problem with downtown Bend you should NEVER go to ANY city as you would just piss your self.
ReplyI conceal carry, so not worried if something comes up.
