I think river restoratation would be more beneficial in the long term for Bend taxpayers (rate payers) than continuous sediment removal.

Let the river flow.

We pay too much in taxes as it is. The city or state needs to better manage the resources it has to take care of such projects instead of constantly asking for more money from over-taxed taxpayers.

Absolulutely NO ! ! ! There have been multiple tests and millions of dollars spent over the years saying the pond should have been dredged years ago. Stop spending on inspections and get to dredging.

The river at Mirror Pond is now evolving into a wetland habitat--very much like the area just upstream from the Colorado St. dam--which, at zero cost, gives us recreation and lovely views.

This project could be done very cheaply if it weren’t for all the senseless rules and regulations my God it used to be done by a small saw mill Who never made this type of money Bend is spoiled!

Fix the SE sewer system first you promised back in 1999 would come into our area. Bunch of crooks that have run this city for. Get your developer buddies to pay for who control this town.

Not my city, not my problem. Owners of the dam or city should be responsible.

It's a commercial dam. Maintenance is the responsibility of the dam owner!
