High noon is not high noon during daylight savings. Let's stay with God's time.

Jeff Rohr

I would prefer to have that sunlight in the evening instead of my drive to work.

Ka San

You voted in the wrong column then.

Jeff Rohr

Thanks, Ka San. Yes, I'm actually for permanent daylight savings. It passed in CA: https://lwvc.org/vote/elections/ballot-measures/proposition-7-conforms-california-daylight-savings-time-federal-law

The sun rises and sets in a cycle that has existed for eons. Daylight savings is a futile attempt to fit the eternal cycle of the cosmos into the present schedule of western humanity. Serious Fail!

Debbie Wansor Robidoux

It messes with all the feeding schedules and wake up times for the animals. I used to get :up at 7:30 now its 6:30. They also think they should be fed again at 3:00 when it used to be 4:00.

cosmo patootie

split it down the middle and leave it . It only a fricking half an hour , sick of the hassle

Beverly Miller

I hate it when it gets dark so early. Human body requires sunlight.

Kal

It doesn't matter anymore this was started years ago

Scott N Krissy Bourne

I am tired of changing my clocks

Ronald Terry

For years and years we got by with Daylight standard time. The old chief said why does the white man think by cutting a foot off of the blanket and sew it on the other end would make it longer?

Linda Nolin

There is really no point and it's so hard to adjust to the change. I really hate that it's dark out earlier.

Leslie Ann

It does not serve any purpose to use it. Please abolish it!

Everyone alive has lived with this time change, so why change it now?

Quite the contrary. I'd vote to keep DST year-round. I love the longer daylight hours. It saves electricity. If they would make later school hours, kids wouldn't wait in the dark for the bus either.

Ann Harbert Evensen

I don't want to abolish DST--I would prefer keeping DST year round. I would rather have the light in the evening.

Of course not, trump will make America great again!

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.

You're literally bumper to bumper from the Bill Healy bridge. The people from the Old Mill Never Cease coming.

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.

SUE ABERNATHY

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

sara kreps

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

Dave Krajczynski

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.

Jeff Sanders

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

Kathy Brown

Make a LARGER round-about!! A stop light will only make it worse!!

Chris Gonzales

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!

Latterdaysaint

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

Fletcher Jackson

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.

Tim Walker

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
