Our teens need a place to stay active that is not cost-prohibitive (skiing, private team leagues) and is accessible to all. My teen plays basketball, and there is literally ONE full public outdoor court and NO public indoor courts in this city. No basketball courts in this plan, however?????

Lets bring in Tourism for Events and give Kids something to do rather than sit infront of a screen

Why would this be needed??

Kevin Crabtree

Events and Tournaments bring money from outside of the community into the Bend area helping Stores Restaurants Motels Ect.... These Kids spend tons of Money Every Year Been there done that it used to cost me 20K a year to send my kid to Travel ball just in Travel cost

It would somehow end up as an expense for property owners to pay for. The majority of our homeowner property taxes already go to schools as it is. This would undoubtedly end up costing property owners to fund such a complex. I am not in favor of having to fund anything else for schools.

Kevin Crabtree

These would pay for themselves if used correctly Medford has them and they are always full with teams Tournaments League's not to mention the tourism money just like the Mountain does Look at the big Picture I am a property owner also but money coming in would far out weigh the taxes

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.

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.
