Yes, first of all the lousy snow year ruined my snowmobiling and snow biking at Hoo Doo (and by the way Bob Hoo Doo is also obviously closed Mon. & Tues, not just Willamette pass! ) Fire danger after last year is obviously a concern! Water levels especially wells, and low water levels in general.
While I do enjoy warm weather I do not care to choke on smoke through August and September. Then there is agriculture, nature and wildlife to consider. We all need water and there is less of it to go around every year
Our drought in Central Oregon is as bad as California's. Also, how much water are 30+ golf courses using every year?? Our farmers and people should suffer to keep useless golf courses open?????
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 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.
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.
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 The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.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

ReplyWe have concern for the fire danger but even more than that is the effect that is having on our ranchers and farmers here on the high desert.

ReplyWe might have a bad fire season, plus Kate brown needs to do some forest management and thin the forests so the season won't be that bad
ReplyWe're in a drought---need the snow pack to help replenish the water table!! Also need LOTS of rain!!
