The housing crisis is critical here. Yet Bend continues to not realize the issue at hand and continues to support the "Not in my backyard" attitude.

Lots of room on all sides of Bend. You just have to be willing to expand some. But no matter where they are built, many lane roads need to me made 4 lanes.

The westside of Bend needs to share in owning the housing growth / needs that the city is experiencing - rather than continuing to burden primarily the east side.

The traffic infrastructure on the west side can not handle any more. Affordable multi-family housing (only) would be welcome once the City gets caught up.

Traffic is already bad enough without high-density housing exascerbating the issue.

There is way too much traffic on the west side of town. A developers fee of $60,000 won't do very much to relieve the residents and visitors traffic woes. Unsafe for residents, first responders and t

Now that we are expanding the UGB; we should build them on the eastside. The Westside can't handle the traffic; especially if there's a fire.

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.
