Masking and vaccinating should have been voluntary the whole time.

I don't wear one now, so yes, I'll be comfortable not wearing one in April.

Only a complete neurotic, unscientific fool would have a problem going maskless... unless you are immune-compromised. Read the science... knowledge is your friend. Omicron is truly nothing more than the flu... it sets in your nose/throat, not your lungs.

I'm comfortable now not wearing one, why would I not be comfortable then?

masks should have never ever been mandated. We have reputable large studies showing "asymptomatic spread" is false and we have countless studies showing masks don't work and never did. In every major city if you look at the case/death graph they all go up dramatically AFTER mask mandates

I don't wear a mask now. If a place tries to enforce it I don't go in there. It's discrimination and unscientific. 99% of places I go anymore don't enforce, but every once in awhile there will be one place that does, looking at you goodwill (they chase you down).

If businesses want customers to wear masks, that is their right. If you won't wear a mask and refuse to enter, that is your right.

I have been vaxed and boosted - even tho the efficacy of boosters reportedly wains after 4 mos - but since the virus is now endemic, we can't live lives forever masked. I will feel comfortable going into a restaurant sans mask. Already have done so... doing fine so far.

As per my Doctors orders I was not supposed to be wearing a mask period! So I will actually be comfortable again. But Im sure this wont last. Just like all the other times she lifted the mask mandate. She's just toying with us,

I'll be pretty comfortable without a mask since I'm current on the shots. That's assuming we don't get a spike in some new nasty variant.

Several months ago, CDC confirmed cloth masks have little effect on controlling COVID, yet our President and Governor have ignored the science. The Johns Hopkins University Study proved lockdowns were a mistake. Make masking voluntary now! Those concerned should wear an N95 mask. Let's move on.

April?? Seriously? I have been comfortable NOT wearing a mask this whole time! I live by faith NOT fear. Wearing a mask harms your immune system over time, ( yes that is from DR's not misinformation!) we need to move on! I was NEVER even remotely comfortable wearing a mask, this question is backward

Well, you would have to lock yourself in your house and never come out, as Omicron gets right through your mask, even if surrounded by morons who have had 5 boosters and triple masked

Covid will never come to an end until everyone gets their shots. There are just so many people that refuse to do that, that I think it will always be a problem. Some people should start thinking about the safety of others, not just what they think about themselves.

Newsflash, it will never end. The shots are not stopping it, if you have not been following the news.

At my sister's work place 5 people got vaccinated and two did not (medical reasons. Allergic to the ingredients). As of now, the vaccinated people have had COVID twice and the two that were not vaccinated have not gotten sick yet. One of them being my sister. Interesting.

I know 4 unvaccinated people that acquired COVID from vaccinated people. 123,740 fully vaccinated people in Oregon have contracted COVID and 783 fully vaccinated people have died. Don't blame people that didn't get vaccinated. I am sorry you are so frightened.

I dont have a problem with people wearing masks. Like Fauci said back in 2020....if it makes you feel comfortable by all means do it. I will not diss people that still want to wear a mask. Thats their business. As for me I will be happy to be following my Doctor's orders and go back to NOT wearing.

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.

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

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!

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
