Too many people, too many cars. Four people meet up for lunch and each on drives a vehicle. Bike, scooter, carpool.

We are not very technically blessed, and as s result CANNOT get parking app to work. All it did was charge us for a space we did not use. End result, we NO LONGER go to Bend for ANY event !!!

So much money has been wasted regarding unsuccessful, trendy, parking technology in Downtown Bend. I do not anticipate this latest idea to be any better.

With too many people and not enough parking spaces, I can tell you the only solution. Another parking garage. Bend loves to waste money. You don't need to spend a million dollars of technology to tell you that. Stop Bend, Stop.

Grey van on the 97 near Empire for over a week parked at a homeless camp. They're one distracted driver away from death.

What mistake did they make?

This is a minimum of 10 years overdue. They widened and made 6th St. and 5th St. one-way in 2007, and they should have been considering a bypass at that time. This is definitely overdue. A bypass around Bend is mandatory and definitely overdue as well.

HWY 97 from the California border to the Columbia River should be minimum 2 lanes in each direction with median barrier.

It is essential to prevent further decay of the traffic movement that now causes thousands of hours of nonproductive activity on Hwy 97.

Just don't screw it up like last time! A bypass should bypass not bottle neck. Also Don't do like bend did and make it a dangerous bicycle lane and 45 mph, it should be a freeway bypass with easy access if Redmond is the goal for your trip.

It is needed but not on the back of Redmond citizens. This is a federal highway, I will vote no if they try to raise my taxes,

The roads we have now aren't maintained by the city except to do the bare minimum. The cheap seal coat doesn't last and now they want to waste money on building this to which it too will fall into disrepair! The roundabouts not unless they can handle the Semi Trucks without going across center!
