people can walk around the trees

Brad Livsey

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Reflect, love and consider our children's-children's-children's.........

Oakley Taylor

Of course you keep the trees! How long have they been growing; longer than the trails. The path can meander around the trees. Bend is supposed to be a tree city, right?

DeBacker Melis

Trees produce oxygen, intercept airborne particulates, and reduce smog, enhancing a community's respiratory health.

Jim Van Osdell

Do we really have to even ask this question... Can the designers not figure out how to go around a few trees? The trees are iconic and beautiful and deserve to be spared and shared.

k san

I absolutely agree with the previous comment. They can work around the trees to make a path. Those are 2 very stately trees. The disabled folks for whom the path is being fixed would probably agree.

Dave Voiles

Keep the trees. Gonna knock down a beautiful tree just so you can walk in a straight line? Really? Figure it out. Don't take the trees out.

Zoey Hockin

Trees are more important than the convenience of humans. This is not Idiocracy.

Janet Rawlings

Why cut down those beautiful trees when re-routing around them is possible?

Autumn Admire

We already take out too much nature and replace it with concrete. This is Bend and half the beauty of our area is the abundance of nature interspersed throughout everything.

Drake Park is a healthy one with tons of trees. Only a few of them have to come out for this path -- just plant more!

Can't count on the brain-worm / bear- cub-corpse-abusing guy.

a well-informed population makes everyone safer... can't trust anything coming out of HHS, CDC, or RFKJrs mouth...not to worry tho, soon all the smart folks will get vaccinated and the MAGAs will die of a preventable disease because they chose not to get a shot...

Jana Laney

It’s probably very dangerous for republicans in such a deep blue state

k san

RFK Jr. is dangerous and is dismantling health research funding and spreading false info about vaccines. The Alliance of Westcoast Governors was formed to ensure public access to credible info re: vaccine safety and efficacy. Anyone who thinks that's bad is obviously a MAGA idiot!

Absolutely, Portland is crime ridden!

Jim Buehler

The us is based on laws, Follow the law. If you don't face the consequences. This will reduce chaos and improve general respect for the law. I am tired of illegal immigrants having more rights and protection than legal citizens!

Wade Palmer

Lawlessness is out of hand.

DeAnn Davison

Portland is a disgrace to this state! I want the crime to get under control.

Trump worshipers are a cowardly bunch.

Ray McGrath

Hell no not only is it wrong it’s unconstitutional!

k san

The people who voted "Yes" for this obviously do NOT know the law. It is unlawful for T to send national guard troops into ANY state uninvited! He is just trying to intimidate and terrorize blue states, when red states have much higher rates! He is the felon/criminal who needs to be behind bars!

Lisa York

Trump is a felon, a fraud, a bigot, a racist, and has no business using the National Guard against our own citizens!!!...right out of the fascist playbook!!!

Oakley Taylor

The Trump power play is not welcome in our state. Shame on Lori Chavez. Sic the National Guard on the Red States.
