YES! We need another multi-tiered parking deck closer to the west side of downtown. the existing one is too far to walk from in bad weather or if you are elderly or incapacitated.

Dave Voiles

Face it, Bend is not the wonderful town it used to be. It's a big city with big city issues and mind sets. It will only get worse. Next they'll want to put meters in to "pay for fixing the problem".

Leslie Ann

I dont even try going any more now. No parking, even with parking garage.

Kathy Snyder

Why is there not designated parking for trucks? They create dangerous driving through town! Bend is so far behind this problem!

John Philo

That is one of the reasons I never go there. The other is because of all the derelicts.

Judi Vanderpool

I stopped going downtown to shop or eat a couple of years ago because of the parking. People are rude don't hesitate when you try backing out unless they want your space. Big trucks are problem also!

I've always found parking without a problem downtown. I also choose to walk or bike on busy days, so that takes that problem out of the equation altogether!

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

Cause THEY ARE ALWAYS LATE🤬

Loy Helmly

Missed glad recycling pickup twice.

Rick Allen

We do not even have any recycling in my area, no cardboard, no glass, no nothing!!!

Jacob Wilton

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

Kathi McDonald

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

Jerry Boysen

Republic is not good!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.

Mark Mueller

Unfortunately we don't have curbsid pickup in rural Deschutes Co. Garbage PU has been good since its been Republic.

Dave Leverick

I have never had a problem with cascade disposal If there is a problem they notify by email and phone
