Yes, it's so easy

Our neighborhood has clear sidewalks and walking paths, with crosswalks. It's so simple to get around on foot.

My neighborhood is so quiet and serene, always will be too the way it's designed, I'll not tell anyone where it is for fear of the hoards ruining our solitude, great neighbors and lollygaggin' strolls

Kevin Scoggin

We have sidewalks on all streets. What I don't understand is why people insist on walking in the bike lanes rather than on the side walks. Strange.

I live in NWX, and 1 of the reasons I moved here was for the sidewalks, the park, and the sense of community.

crossing Canal from Reindeer Ave to go to Safeway is dangerous with no cross walks

Barbara Sherman

No sidewalks, no streetlights. No place really off the pavement to walk.

Thresa Jenkins

South of Reed Mkt on 3rd. Sidewalks not cleared, Flooding at intersections. I take the bus and sometimes it is really hard to get to the bus stop.

Dechutes river woods need sidewalks but to do that they will have to annex it into the city which the city will raise taxes

Of course not, trump will make America great again!

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.

You're literally bumper to bumper from the Bill Healy bridge. The people from the Old Mill Never Cease coming.

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.

Jeff Sanders

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

Dennis Douglas

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.

SUE ABERNATHY

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

sara kreps

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

Kathy Brown

Make a LARGER round-about!! A stop light will only make it worse!!

Chris Gonzales

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

Fletcher Jackson

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.

Tim Walker

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
