I must be getting old because I have NO idea what fentanyl even is. But since it's being talked about in a bar atmosphere, i'm guessing something bad brewers are using. Again, No idea what it is.

It's a drug that a lot of other drugs are being laced with and it's super deadly because it hardly takes any to kill you.

Oregon voters decided that it is better to encourage drug use and treat the results. So now we have an epidemic of drug deaths. Is this what you voted for?

People are going to use drugs if they are an addict or someone just experimenting. Why not provide a way for people to not die when they are using. Maybe it will even help people quit. I think It's a great idea.

They don't need to be the middle man for illegal drugs.

If you are smart enough to ask for your drugs to be tested, you should be scared enough to not use them.

To me, then bars are saying OK to drug use but we don't want you to be sick or die while here.

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.

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
