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.

Sussie Due

Its the obvious answer

I agree with what others pointed out and that is, that until these ppl have somewhere else to go, let them be there.

Brittney Lent

Because there is not enough support or compassion for those whom have criminal records that can't get jobs because of and or even have there own name on a place of living or vehicle even if they were holding down a job and putting there lives back on track so why would I be agreed for closing

Julie Larocco

Don’t think there enough places for all of these people to go. Let them stay where they are with the services provided until there is a permanent safe stay place/solution.

The expenditure per person is outrageous..calculate per 190 residents! Also what is the stated method to audit the success of this large spending of our taxes?
