The city and the county never should have let it get to this point. If my property looked like that the city/county would be all over me. Why do they allow our public streets to get that bad?

It's about time this has been enforced. It is absolutely ridiculous that it has taken this long for this decision to be made.

They all need to find health for their lives. Living on the street isn't it. Most of the homeless in our county ,90%, are not from here and only came because ,"Bend would leave them alone.". (Quote from homeless interviewed.

It's about time. Our public officials have a responsibility to us tax paying residents. I live in this area, my life has been grossly disrupted for these years of their trashy lifestyle. I use to walk this area but no more! Being poor does not mean being dirty and trashy!

Definitely, we cannot let people be above the law because they are living on the street. Many are on drugs and not willing to change! 1500 complaints, it is about time honest taxpayers, contributing member's of society are taken into consideration! It is not just about the street folks!

I think the mobile homeless will now spread out through Bend neighborhoods or forest lands and move only when forced to do so.

Hopefully they'll move into city officials neighborhoods.

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 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.

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
