We need a more efficient and cleaner way to store electricity than lithium.

Mainly, an assurance that charging stations were ubiquitous, but also that the HP would be as zippy as what you would want.

The cost of mining the lithium for the electric vehicles batteries more than outweighs the “effectiveness” of the electric vehicle! The mining process itself voids any savings of electric vs internal combustion vehicles!

Id need a boatload of money, a free house with a charging unit and the government off our backs and out of our pockets.

I would NOT take an electric vehicle if you gave it to me, seriously! Electric is fine for power tools, but not a car or truck. I am against all this nonsense!

First off, I don't really need a new vehicle. Other than that, more charging stations.

Unless someone gave me the money to buy one, maintain it, build a garage and a charging station for it.

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
