Not only is it our right to express our opinions under the First Amendment, flags on private property should fly at the property owner's discretion.

If you want to deface the American flag then please move to another country so we don't waste our Social Security benefits on you later.

Stephany Holmes

My flag is part of my country. I find it unoffensive and frankly if your offended by my flag, leave

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

Whether we like it or not, a right is a right. I don't agree with flying certain flags, but it's their right.

Heidi Owen

Ofcourse.

Sam Ackerman

It's my property, I should be able to do what I want on it as long as I dont harm others. Hurt feelings do not count.

We are losing our right to free speech. We need to prevent “normalizing” the desecration of our constitutional rights. This is what is bringing down America today

Lynn Huntley

I may not like the flag (house color, screaming kids, drinking beer on their front porch, etc.), but it is their property. As long as they are not harming another, it is none of my business.

Property owners are choosing to be a part of a community, and that means sharing space peacefully with neighbors. If the community at large deems an image, flag, or message offensive or even hateful, the matter then turns into a debate over public safety. Show Less

What do you mean by "All flags"? Russian? Chinese?

Harry VanderVelde

So if I make a flag that offends others it's should be protected by the constitution? I don't think so! Old flags were meant for their time, not ours!

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

The Constitution protects free speech; there is no provision on a right to not be offended.

Of course not, trump will make America great again!

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.

SUE ABERNATHY

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

sara kreps

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

Dave Krajczynski

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.

Jeff Sanders

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

Kathy Brown

Make a LARGER round-about!! A stop light will only make it worse!!

Chris Gonzales

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!

Latterdaysaint

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

Fletcher Jackson

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.

Tim Walker

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
