If Alcohol is legal and socially acceptable(even thought it destroys lives daily) then cannabis should be 100% legal since its 10,000x less harmful and has legitimate medically benefits..

Randy Kerr

Because it is a harmless herb.

Teresa Parsons

Alcohol Kills, Pot doesn't.

We have been having this debate for over 25 years. Enough already. Decriminalize marijuana!!!!!!!

Lara Michelle

Tax revenue, lower cost on criminal justice, and a huge hit to illegal drug traffickers. What's not to like?

Corky O.G.

Because people do it anyways Let's get taxes from it..

Decriminalizing marijuana is dangerous and could create a public health risk. It could even be a gateway to decriminalizing other drugs!

We have enough impaired drivers

It kills brain cells

Felix Pressler

It's OK for medical purposes,but not for general use for several reasons: effect on children, especially edibles, driving dangers or way use of equipment, no way to measure impaired judgment etc. etc

Latterdaysaint

I agree

We've known for decades that MJ leads to other drugs. Why make it easier to do that. I am all for Medical MJ but not recreational. I have seen too many stupid things done by people when high on it.

No good can come from legalizing a mind altering drug.

Lara Michelle

Like alcohol, cigarettes, or coffee. No one likes those mind altering drugs either...

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.

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
