Keep in mind!............there is Federal monies to be garnered through ODOT toward the City of Bend initiating and reversing roundabout movement and,...testing on the driving/tax paying public.

Other than the city of Bend, who in their right mind believes that slowing traffic improves traffic?

Bend needs more arteries. The city is such a slave to development $ they don’t have a plan for maintenance and development of existing and new traffic routes. Stop sucking the developers di

The traffic lights weren't even turned on the two nights I took the roundabout home this past week (~5:15 PM). I don't see the point if they aren't going to use them during rush hour.

Unnecessary. Bad, expensive idea that defeats the purpose of roundabouts that are made to keep traffic moving.

Bandaid. They will spend big bucks building round a bouts elsewhere that aren't near as critical, with much lower traffic density, while kicking the can down the road on this one.

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.
