Do you think water rates should go up during droughts?

Yes, conserve water!

Yes, conserve water!

There should be an incentive to help conservation efforts during a drought, and creating a sense of urgency is good for the environment, long-term.

Everyone requires water to survive, so it should not be sold on a premium, despite supply.

For city water It would be best to educate people on water use for landscaping. Most sprinkler systems are set to twice a day and it is not needed early or later in the year.

Once they raise the rates they are likely to keep them there.

It wouldn't deter use to a point that it would make a huge difference. People will use the water they need, even if they have to pay a bit more. It would just amount to a revenue-generating thing.

If we're rationed we might not have sufficient water to keep trees alive. Grass and bushes or whatever can be replanted. At Great expense but trees need lots of years to come along and just letting le

Why would you purposely put people that are financially stressed under more financial stress? The only people that benefit are the water companies. How dumb is that??

No, because conservation efforts should be consistent whether or not there's a drought. Only working to educate the public when there's a drought (defined by whom?) is minimally effective.

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.

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 The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.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

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.

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.
