I support the idea for a pedestrian promenade. It will provide more areas for people to walk and create community gathering areas.

Expanding the pedestrian zone into Minnisota only removes a handful of parking spots downtown. Not enough to make a difference in parking. As well as, it is only a block so customers of those businesses will be fine walking a block (most likely they would have had to park more than a block away.

I don't think the promenade should be a priority. We need more parking and restrooms accessible to the public.

A city I lived most of my life in did what Bend is considering. It destroyed the downtown. Parking went from bad to worse. Panhandlers took it over. Businesses left because the customers left. After decades of decay the last I heard they were considering making it a roadway again.

There is not enough parking downtown to begin with

Kathy Farr

There's not enough parking downtown as it is. Because of that I avoid the area. If these pedestrian things are put in, I'll never go there again. Too big a hassle for the paltry shopping.

Don't close Minnesota Avenue, and don't take away any more parking elsewhere. A Promenade is not needed. The sidewalks provide plenty of walking room in the downtown area.

More parking and definitely bathrooms.

It's bs I don't own an isolated ranch, I live in a neighborhood. We water our lawns.

Public land needs to have logging/thinning/brush management and close dispersed camping within 10 miles of Sisters/Bend, especially during summer months.

First of all, that agent you had on was an absolute uninformed idiot. Where is the compassion. Weather the storm. What storm. It’s because the insurance companies are having to pay out after collecting billions of dollars. Boo Hoo, now we must pay. There is no fire here,

Been there before, the treatment of the animals was horrible. For that alone it should be shut down.

Obviously. There is no excuse for animal abuse.
