I think river restoratation would be more beneficial in the long term for Bend taxpayers (rate payers) than continuous sediment removal.

We pay too much in taxes as it is. The city or state needs to better manage the resources it has to take care of such projects instead of constantly asking for more money from over-taxed taxpayers.

Absolulutely NO ! ! ! There have been multiple tests and millions of dollars spent over the years saying the pond should have been dredged years ago. Stop spending on inspections and get to dredging.

The river at Mirror Pond is now evolving into a wetland habitat--very much like the area just upstream from the Colorado St. dam--which, at zero cost, gives us recreation and lovely views.

Fix the SE sewer system first you promised back in 1999 would come into our area. Bunch of crooks that have run this city for. Get your developer buddies to pay for who control this town.

Not my city, not my problem. Owners of the dam or city should be responsible.

It's a commercial dam. Maintenance is the responsibility of the dam owner!

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.
