This is a minimum of 10 years overdue. They widened and made 6th St. and 5th St. one-way in 2007, and they should have been considering a bypass at that time. This is definitely overdue. A bypass around Bend is mandatory and definitely overdue as well.

HWY 97 from the California border to the Columbia River should be minimum 2 lanes in each direction with median barrier.

It is essential to prevent further decay of the traffic movement that now causes thousands of hours of nonproductive activity on Hwy 97.

Just don't screw it up like last time! A bypass should bypass not bottle neck. Also Don't do like bend did and make it a dangerous bicycle lane and 45 mph, it should be a freeway bypass with easy access if Redmond is the goal for your trip.

It is needed but not on the back of Redmond citizens. This is a federal highway, I will vote no if they try to raise my taxes,

It will help the traffic that goes through there all the time and the semi trucks if they can have another way to go, because ones you get into Redmond long wait of Back up Traffic , So I hope this will help Thank you

The roads we have now aren't maintained by the city except to do the bare minimum. The cheap seal coat doesn't last and now they want to waste money on building this to which it too will fall into disrepair! The roundabouts not unless they can handle the Semi Trucks without going across center!

We are going backwards, not forward, due to President Trump’s stand on DEI. Don’t forget, he blamed the recent crash outside DC on DEI. Seriously! Let’s be a kinder America and County, please.

As the parent of a disabled child, I want her to have every chance to receive equity with the laws that are passed by the county! She needs a committee she can count on to fight for her rights!

President Trump gave Mr. Musk the authority to look at the budget

How best to find wasteful government spending than to go to the source of the payments. Musk isn’t going to stop or interfere with SS payments or any other social programs.

He and his early 20-yr old hires already are making changes and have been given authority to those systems! It is a travesty!!

Absolutely not!! He is not elected and Trump has taken away the authority of many departments and given it to a man who made a Naze salute at the inauguration. He is unfit and should NOT be allowed anywhere near the levers of power!

That system is our most secure data system and a non elected, or person who has not been properly vetted should not have access to such a sensitive system.
