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!

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?
