It's a far better location than the existing spot on Franklin!

This whole ill considered Central Area Plan represents the desires of the Planning Department instead of the citizenry of Bend. Any decision that dilutes their plan is a good thing.

Opening the space on Franklin from an ugly tire shop and allowing Les Shwab an opportunity to move into a more eco friendly site is the right thing to do. Remember this commission also put OSU Cascad

Move it out somewhere north or south of Bend. Schwaab takes up a huge area and 3rd St at the underpass just can't take anymore traffic, it's already become a nightmare.

They are ready have service center on both the north and south side of town. They need one in the center of town as well

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.
