Electric vehicles have massive batteries which can not be easily disposed of, and are toxic to the environment. Electric buses are very expensive. And cannot be driven very far, especially driving to valley schools for sports events.

Because the Democrats have no plans to increase electrical infrastructure to accommodate increased demand while under false pretense (no such thing as global warming) eliminating abundant and reliable fossil fuel.

Cold weather can create problems, replacing batteries is very expensive and where do the old ones go...into landfiles. Humans probably contribute to enviromental problems but are not the main cause and nothing we do will stop climate change, the earth will do what it has been doing since time began.

EV batteries are NOT good for our environment not to mention the poor children digging for the minerals just so the green idiots can brag how well the USA is doing in the name of climate change rhetoric. If those were our children we would all be up on child abuse charges facing years in prison.

Don't listen to CB. An increasing number of scientists that agreed that climate change is a result of human activity are rethinking their position. Stating that CO2 may not be the cause of climate change. Science is not fact, science it theory. And Scientific theories have been debunked in the past

Just when I think you can't get any more ridiculous, you come out with the nonsense. Even your own church acknowledges climate change, A SCIENTIFIC FACT.

No, for a variety of reasons, we should not go the route of electric vehicles.

Its a super expensive way to virtue signal. Not to mention all the other failures of the creation of EV batteries, slave labor, all while using natural fuels to create the electricity.

Not accesible to most people. A recipe for more frustration for those trying to use it. Mostly, a huge waste of money better spent to greater benefit to Bend.

Isn't it currently illegal to be on your phone while driving? This app would cause inattention to the action of driving a car responsibly!

When they added the gate to the parking garage, I quit going downtown. Leave it for the tourists.

Dumb. Too much trouble. Someone will get there while you're looking. Waste of money. Tech isn't always a good idea. Costs half a million to put in place?? Typical of Bend government.

If you want to help the parking problem, then use the money to build another parking structure. The app is worthless, as spaces are instantly filled when they open up. Nobody will be able to drive from a block away to get an open spot. Total waste of taxpayer dollars!

I don't want to jinx myself but I have never had an accident or a moving violation. My license has never been suspended at anytime. I do have a bit of a heavy foot but not so bad that police pull me over.

I have been driving for just over 50 years. In that time, I've been in two accidents, one of them being my fault. It has been over 30 years since I've had an accident, or heck, even accidently dinged another car with my car's door!

Every accident I've been in was the other person's fault. Never been at fault.

I work hard to follow road rules that most good drivers ignore. Including Full stops at stop signs and red lights (even for right turns and no traffic), not tailgating (even at stops), using turn signals (even in parking lots), and following speed limits - even on the freeway.

I can drive, but I don't recommend it. I have what I call blind road rage. I get behind the wheel and I blackout. Just gimme a bicycle, it's safer.
