The City needs to take care of their own garbage.

Ka San

There is plenty of space here in CO to create a new site. Makes no sense to truck it far away.

Ben Wiborg

We need this in Redmond https://idahonews.com/news/local/boise-on-the-cutting-edge-of-a-recycling-revolution

You and I created the trash we should deal with it with in 10 miles of Bend. OR perhaps between Bend and Redmond so both towns could use it.

Carolyn Harrison Testerman

Avoid transportation costs increasing the carbon footprint of our local trash even more.

Wanda Hancock

Just keep urging more and more people to move to Bend.You are really going to have a problem!

Gramma Jean

Cover the landfill. /Find a new site, in the county. Build apartments on the old one.

We're running out of space to create another dump site in Central Oregon. If another county has the space, it makes sense to find a cost-effective way to take trash to an existing landfill rather than adding another one to the landscape. Show Less

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

Gary Dehm

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.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Ka San

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

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.
