I believe we need better representation from a broader board. Phil Chang is doing a great job and being in the minority is unfair and unbalanced.

More Government Is The problem and why Oregon now Northern California. Oregon has turned into a Socialist Communist State.

Gabe West

Less government control the better

💛🖤 RAG 💛🖤

There will be more if we get more liberals on the board!!

Naomi Sherpa

The Deschutes county has grown and we need to more representation.

Stang1960

Less Government not more is better for the individual.

Samuel Facey

The county is growing in population, and as the population grows the problems grow. We had our first mass shooting 2022, a new city of mountain view maybe coming our way, and countless natural disasters, covid-19 and many more! It's time to grow.

Ed Neumann

Absolutely! The Commission is invisible to most county residents but plays an important role for 200k residents.

Make Oregon California with bigger government more taxes and less freedom is your answer... Did you move from California by chance?

The only reason Chang wants it is to get more liberals on the board and change the majority!! We have a 100 % LIBERAL ACTIVIST city council we don't need a liberal majority board of commissioners or we'll be DOOMED!! The ONLY thing that saves us from madness in this county is a conservative board!!

Rick Allen

We dont need anymore Phil Changs!

Stang1960

3 is enough any more is a waist of money, if i think about it it probably should only be ONE, less government is better for the people. Chang wants more so he can have more socialist liberals on the board. He also wants nonpartisan elections so they can lie about who they are to be elected.

Stang1960

Anyone who believes that bigger government is the answer probably came from California or ran away from the Peoples Socialist Republic of Portland. The transplants from west of the cascades and California are destroying Central Oregon.

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.

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
