There aren't enough law enforcement officers to police the dysfunction & endangerment of people running lights, & blocking the intersection

Anything that will help slow down the insane amount of speeding on the Parkway is a good thing.

Only if they are mobile so you can use them in problem area's until problem is solved not as permanent like above a stop light that is just Policing for Profit.

Speed is clearly a problem on the parkway and much of 97. I can't see how enforcing laws that protect public safety is too much government control.

Yes, put them up. The visitors and residents from the South and the North all think that they are a big fish in a small pond and drive like they do back where they came from. They drive like it is a video game and endanger everyone on the roads.

Sloppy driving, speeding and lack of traffic police to deture these actions to prevent accidents and possible injuries to those doing the right thing. It costs everyone in higher insurance rates in areas with more accidents.

We lived in Tucson, AZ. where they had these camera's & shortly taken out of service because the person driving the vehicle couldn't be without a doubt 100% identified. The plate # could be seen, but not the driver/owner. Cost Pima County residents millions of dollars. Waste of $. Fix the pot holes.

Absolutely NOT! That is like a privacy infringement, government over reach at best. Spying on citizens, imagine what that could start! So I say NO, NO and by the way(blank) NO!

Well if people would drive at a safe speed, they wouldn't have to treat everyone like idiots.

It's not more "control" to enforce laws that already exist to protect public safety.

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
