Absolutely. Who wants to constantly keep that painful part of our history in the forefront. Call it The Rivalry

I have never liked this name. It conjures up images of the most divisive moment in this country. This is a competition between two universities in Oregon. A competition, not a hate war.

There are movements all over the country renaming things that had any connection to the historical Civil War. This is but another and it is a good idea.

A sporting event is not a war, that is my first objection.Then of course there is the trivialization of the real Civil War where people died, our ancestors. They deserve better.

Treasonous soldiers tried to overtake our country and they lost. Then after defeat killed our President. Let that sink in. Rename the game to the “ Duck vs Beaver Bowl”

This situation is becoming ridiculous. Pretty soon we will be banned from wearing blue a/o grey clothes, insulting someone.

It's heritage between the northern & southern school; has nothing to do with racism. It's just a reference to their geographic locations. Why infer some meaning that is not.

There is no reason to rename, change the game at all. The pandering to the BLM is out of control. They are trying to destroy history along with the USA. Enough is enough.

I don't understand why this is or should be an issue. It's been this way forever.

Civil war says what it means. It happens all over the world.not due to race but difference of opinion.

So now we're going to demand other countries change their history as well? I.E. Spanish Civil War? What if there is a new American Civil War between Republicans and Democrats???

You are not an idiot but someone else here resembles one. I also think all this renaming and tearing down monuments to our history is ridiculous

I am glad that we were Blue over all on the West coast. Those flyover states have too much say.

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 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.

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.

A roundabout's primary purpose in traffic management is to improve safety and traffic flow, resulting in less congestion and fewer accidents compared to traditional stoplight intersections. Key words: Flow, less congestion and Stoplights. Now they want to add Stoplights!!! City waste at its Best!

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

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
