Parking is necessary for businesses to survive. Monies should be spent on the needs of the majority of people.

The majority of people drive. It doesn't make sense to spend a disproportionate amount of money on something used by a very small portion of the population.

Completely agree. We are seeing way to much increase in spending. No more roundabouts, no more parks, no more spending. The economy is bad and people are paying much higher prices for everything but still our local government is spending.
We aren't Portland and we don't want to be Portland. Stop wasting our money on a very small percentage of the populace. Bend is growing way to fast and parking for cars is needed.

We purchased E-Bikes, we use them to commute to work, medical appointments go shopping and most other locL travel needs. The biggest drawback(s) are lack of safe places to park them.

its nice you can afford an expensive e bike when most of the population has to cut back to 1 or 2 meals a day so they can afford rent.
Education is key for any society. Our k-12 needs to step up amd focus more on Math, English, Reading, and civics! They also need to drop the social engineering of our youth to the ideological politics of the Teacher's unions!

Northwest Bend was THE poorest choice to place the school and any additions will just create more even more issues with traffic, parking, housing and crime with the low police numbers!!!!

It's such a shame you're so against people having an education. You know who also felt that way? Nazis.
