IF I order household items online at this time of year, I get them when I get them. My holiday shopping is long done by now.

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.

You're literally bumper to bumper from the Bill Healy bridge. The people from the Old Mill Never Cease coming.

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 The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.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

I tracked a prescription meds package coming by DHS then transferred to USPS Redmond, then sent to Eugene for sorting facilities then back to Redmond. Took 2 weeks.
ReplyI had an issue yesterday with a scheduled pickup being marked as "done". Went to the post office, they told me "oops!" and then told me I no longer have a carrier for my route so they're borrowing people from arizona so i will get my mail "intermittently.".
ReplyAll of my items have arrived, but all were delayed 3-4 days. And they were scanned in as being in Redmond, but still took 3 to 4 more days before they were delivered.
ReplyI have received packages with tracking number showing them being held in portland or Eugene for up to 3 on more days before sending them over the pass to bend.
ReplyYes, I’ve seen delays - to the extent of not getting deliveries daily. Sometimes USPS doesn’t show up at all. Sometimes mail will get delivered daily, other times it won’t, and then sometimes USPS truck will come by at 6am and then again after dark in the same day. 🤷🏻♀️
ReplyWe live in Redmond
ReplyOur mail has been delay many times over the last 3 months and sometimes I dont get it I live in Bend
ReplyNot just delayed but missing. I live in Alfalfa and at least 3 residents had packages that were "delivered" just not to the correct resident last week. And it's difficult to reach USPS local office to inquire about them.
ReplyOn a regular basis!!! Have since moving to Bend 7 years ago!! Terrible USPS service here.
ReplyYes a little bit here in Redmond. We are getting our mail & packages but it's taking a little longer like a couple days longer to get it.
