It's far more environmentally conscious to use metal cutlery and reusable cups for dine-in customers because you're essentially cutting at least a quarter of waste.

They should, but they shouldn't be legally required to.

We throw away too much stuff. But that's been for just two generations. Get smart, folks. Use and reuse, and make stuff that lasts for longer than you do.

Absolutely

Absolutely. The environment is everyone's problem; individually and collectively.

You can never tell how truly clean reusable cutlery is at restaurants, and I'd be less likely to trust a fast-food joint with that. Plus, what if I want to take part of my meal ... Show More

They have to invest in new research and make their cutlery from other materials non desctructive for the environment

Brad Livsey

For the prices of fast food currently they better be offering cloth napkins and tablecloths with silver place settings......Also, paper straws SUCK!

Dave Voiles

I prefer "knowing" everything is sanitary. Fast food can be sketchy enough as it is.

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!

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
