Bend SquareOffs

I try to avoid Bend as much as possible.

If you're going to spend that kind of money, then maybe you should use it for better use. The homeless could use more refurbished hotel/motels and or you could just build a facility. Trying to make our city pretty for the sake of wasting money makes me wonder what our city counselors are thinking.

If the Franklin and Greenwood underpasses were not close by, it wouldn't be a total waste. But they are so it is.

The homeless won't even use it.... they'll continue to just wander across the parkway at their own leisure.

Only for those in that direct vicinity. How many people really need to cross right there anyway?

I dont walk or ride a bike to go shopping or to work. 20 million is a lot of money to spend for another very short bike/walking trail.

I use Hawthorne exit from parkway. Construction will block it and its not clear if it will reopen after construction

It's a big waist of money.

Get real!! who's going to use it. That's $25,000,000 to get a handful of people across the parkway that could be put to better use.

Don't see any benefit for anyone other than maybe those who can sell land to the city. I live in SE Bend. I am not going to drive over to the bridge, park, cross over the bridge, and walk several blocks to downtown.

Big waste of money

Traffic is out of control, gridlock on 27th street, but we allocate millions for bike routes? How about roads first, which are used by a much greater majority of the people!
