I would like dedicated bike paths north to south and east to west, that we do not share with cars. Cars in Bend do not work with cyclists. We should be like every other city.

STREETLIGHTS!!! I've had it with the dark sky BS. My neighborhood street is dark as pitch.. You can't see anything. There are PLENTY of ways to preserve "dark sky" and still have streetlights that point downward. I have lived in neighborhoods in Bend that have those kinds of lights, but not NWX.

The best improvement for safety and traffic flow on Reed market Road is the Railroad over pass ASAP

Shoulders for bikes or NO RIDING ZONE on 2 lane roads with no shoulders!!! It is absurdly dangerous and an unworkable situation!

I live in NW Crossing and would like to know how the city plans to handle the huge amount of traffic that will occur from the hundreds of homes being built west of Mt. Washington Drive. Dumping all that traffic onto already crowded Skyliner, Shevlin Road and Mt.Washington is NOT a good option!

roundabouts with clear bike path. Drivers are shouting at cyclists that are following the law to go AROUND the round-about in the crosswalk/sidewalk path

It seems to me that there are already enough potholes in Bend. Why would you want more? That does not make sense. Nope, it just doesn't make any sense.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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
