Absolutely I'm worried they will shut everything down. How are we supposed to homeschool our kids when both parents work? My son loves school and really thrives- he will really suffer mentally and emotionally with another shut down.

Schools should not be closed down, kids are less affected by this, and I think teachers should stop indoctrinating kids also

I am worried they will shut down the schools, I am not at all worried about COVID hurting my kids, or other kids. This virus is no longer novel, but rather seasonal/endemic, yet the scared policy-makers are treating it as though it is novel. We need to move on... no masks, no quarantine.

The kids need socialization more than to be "protected" from COVID-19, something that represents essentially less than 0.05% risk to them even if infected.

No, it doesn't concern me.

It may be wishful thinking but I hope not. Our children need to be in school. Last year is lost. It will not be made up. They can not afford to loose a second year.

Because my teen is already enrolled in online school. We didn't want to be anywhere near the school this new year with all the craziness goin on. Our teen also wanted to do online school because he came home from school every day last year with a headache & extra tired from the masks.

Hopefully more parents will embrace home school for their children.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs
