no campers allowed! they are destroying a beautiful place.

David Kinney

The vast number of campers, tents, and other vehicles are leave trash, building structures,dumping food on the ground,cans, bottles, and bags of poop. it's startling to ride through Phils these days and compare it to how clean and quiet the forest used to be as recently as 6 or 7 years ago.

Nicole Perullo

People are illegally long term camping, dumping waste, speeding and disrespecting the land. People can still bike, run, hike and walk in the forests with gates closed.

Deb Kizer Dyck

It's time to stop random dumping in our forests. Blocking should help keep out vehicles with large trash items.

Mark Clement

sick of seeing speeding old junk cars and trash in the area. people who really want to visit the area will go.

Lynn Huntley

Give and inch, they take a mile. Let everyone have something to enjoy and some have to destroy it.

That is public lands I am disabled and can't ride a bike or walk very well. I have seen a lot of changes in Bend over the last 50 years. I have a problem with people coming in trying to restrict others rights, without living in the area for 5 years, so they don't bring what they left behind.

The land and trails belong to everyone. Drivers have rights to the outdoors also. Don't move here and start making demands.

But people are dumping waste and long term camping

Jeff Sanders

Why does Karen even care? Let's board up and put a fence around the whole forest...

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Jay B Lane

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.
