Yes, first of all the lousy snow year ruined my snowmobiling and snow biking at Hoo Doo (and by the way Bob Hoo Doo is also obviously closed Mon. & Tues, not just Willamette pass! ) Fire danger after last year is obviously a concern! Water levels especially wells, and low water levels in general.

While I do enjoy warm weather I do not care to choke on smoke through August and September. Then there is agriculture, nature and wildlife to consider. We all need water and there is less of it to go around every year

We have concern for the fire danger but even more than that is the effect that is having on our ranchers and farmers here on the high desert.

Our drought in Central Oregon is as bad as California's. Also, how much water are 30+ golf courses using every year?? Our farmers and people should suffer to keep useless golf courses open?????

We might have a bad fire season, plus Kate brown needs to do some forest management and thin the forests so the season won't be that bad

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.
