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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

There are times that they shouldn't have them but check them at the door of class rooms to cut back on the use. Emergencies do happen and cells are useful
