It's difficult and frustrating to have giant berms at the end of your driveway!

I’d pay just to have our street passable period, when the snow and ice melts get out there and plow it off instead of letting it freeze at night where you can’t even drive or keep your car in the trac

Richard Dillard

I have a business and the berms block the walkway and driveway to that business. The berm is mainly ice and dirt which is hard to remove by hand.

Ann Harbert Evensen

I end up paying someone to take out the berm--it would be more convenient if they would just do it as part of the plowing.

They wouldn't use this equipment very often, which makes the cost too high to justify.

THEY DON'T CLEAR ROADS OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE GET SNOWED IN AND CANT GET OUT AT ALL SO NO I WOULD NEVER PAY FOR IT!!

Danna Frint

taxes are too high already. Berm removal should be included at current taxes

Scott Camps

people would still complain

Kenneth Swipies

Won't pay 80 dollars for someone else to do . All it is is 6' once in a while. Taxes are all year.

Felix Pressler

Icity staff & contractors are well paid to do the job which should not include blocking drive ways; the drive way access snow should be dumped between drives.The roundabouts reflect poor work.

Sam Ackerman

Get off your but and remove your own snow.

Terry Strayer

If a person can't shovel the berm, ask your neighbor, to do to it for a couple bucks.

Jim Latham

Clean up the corruption in this town first and there would be plenty of money for many other improvements also like road repair.

CJ Johnson

We choose to live in a place where it SNOWS! Shoveling a berm may be a pain, but it's part of the wonder of being able to living here!

Ka San

Because taxes in Bend are astronomical, as it is. I vote NO for anything to do with raising taxes!

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

I'll keep my money and shovel.

Pam W

Bend gets millions in tax money from the MJ rec and medical sales. They can afford to pay for it.

Robert Crain

Better to have cleared roads than not. Burns are just part of the deal. Clean it out and quit Bitching

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
