We already do. I wish some of our neighbors would do the same with their yard lights.

I already do. I only have Dark Sky rated outdoor fixtures. I hate glare.

Doesn't matter what I do with my lights because one of the brightest, most poorly focused streetlights is right outside my bedroom, lighting up my home, my yard, and my neighbors homes like a crime scene. Shame on the city of bend.

We live in an area without street lights and it is so nice to look up and see the stars and moon so clearly!

I live where there are no street lights. I like it that way.

The only light pollution at my house is the ultra bright city street lights. The city is the cause of light pollution.

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.
