Shepard Rd. The (so called) speed bumps are easy to speed over. This street is a direct connection between Neff Rd, Wells Acres, and Butler Market. It's has the same speeding problem that Wells Acres is experiencing.

Purcell in front of Ponderosa Elementary is so dangerous now. People fly out of the roundabout on Empire like a sling shot. We need speed bumps and more signs now. Feel like they didn't finish the road work because of the new speeding issues. Dangerous for pedestrians.

There has been a speeding problem on Tumalo Road (originally called Deschutes Highway and then Nichols Market Road before the county finally settled on Tumalo Road) all during the 35 years I have lived out here. Pedestrians have been either hit or ran off the road. Calling the Cops is pointless.

Reed Market between 15th St and 27th St. is really bad.

I have lived on Old Redmond hwy for 28 years. I hear people say that if you're in a hurry and going to speed between Bend and Redmond they always go the old hwy because they can speed. When the round about was built at Tumalo road that helped with the speeding. I would like to see half a dozen more

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

The China Hat area has been badly damaged and disrespected by campers.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!
