The parkway divides the city in two - the bridge will provide a safe crossing for walkers, riders, rollers, helping to reconnect the city and make it more friendly

Michael Caba

I think the new bridge is fine, though I will probably not use it. I do, however, have one question, specifically, why did we do the new Greenwood bike lanes if we are going to build a new bridge with bike lanes that will seemingly serve nearly the same purpose? Just curious.

Suzanne Mendez

I bike with my kids and the Franklin underpass is scary. A bike bridge from east to west is desperately needed.

We don't need it. No one is going to walk that far everyone drives. Maye the bridge isn't that long but you still have to walk to it to use it. Then if you do buy stuff while shopping you have to carry it back to where you came from.

Design Doesn't Match the Town. Waste of Tax Payer money. We should be solving the homeless encampment problems; those along the parkway and out in the forest (creating human caused fires).

Huge waste of money. Will be a homeless camp in less than a year. Meanwhile corrupted runaway development remains unchecked.

Tim Raynor

We have bigger problems in Bend, like homeless encampments that start fires. I'd rather Bend take care of the priorities that put people's life and property in danger than waste tax dollars on an overpriced pedestrian only bridge.

Duane Wyman

The design doesn't fit the town. Maybe ok for Portland.

Tiffany Lemmons

Because it doesn't fit in with Bend. I understand that Bend will continue to grow, but we can still try to keep the feeling of small town Bend alive, the "chosen" design doesn't represent Bend and as many Bend residents concur, I sincerely hope the design will be reconsidered before being finalized.

Greenwood was just updated with bicycle and pedestrian lanes. Waste of money and will end up being a hang out for unsavory individuals at both ends.

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
