Reed Market is always such a mess, esp. with the train.

Ka San

We need something south of the Reed Market crossover very badly.

Sandy Ewing

Another? If you think there is one then it needs to be widened to accomodate the traffice instead of 2 lane and NO turning lanes.

Bruce Sharp

Have to go from the east side to the west side often. Have been caught in terrible traffic or because of a train many times. We need more roads that do not stop traffic if a train passes through.

John Driscoll

Bend has more or less the same road network it did when the town's population was 40,000

Sam Ackerman

We need a hwy 20 bypass. A true by past. Not some parkway with bike lanes and walking paths.

Nate Hamilton

Another? This question must have been submitted by someone that only travels N-S in Bend!!!

Chris Evans

It is always a much longer drive going east to west than it is north to south in Bend.

We have four main thoroughfares right now, but they can be widened and/or better maintained to ease congestion. A new overpass will not solve the problem, and exacerbate traffic... Show More

Wouldn't mind, it's quite quite a drive. Of course it would be hot.

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

These things have been voted on and approved by voters in the past already. This is just another example of hands out for $$ from property owners. I am against ANY new taxes on property owners. We are tapped out!! Tax alcohol, cigarettes, whatever else to make EVERYONE share in the pain.
