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.

Just build another parking garage

SunnySunshinestein

Gabe, write this down: I agree with you. :-)

Jeff Sanders

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.

Driving to work this morning at 70 MPH, I could see the guy behind me had his phone in his hand fiddling around (assume texting). Pulled off the exit (he was still behind me) and still tapping away. Since this 'law' has no real teeth, idiots like this will simply keep doing what they do.

Missouri is way late to the party on this law. I think this law is pretty common across the US.

It's the beginning of the school year so kids will be outside and many adults also like myself will be out walking a lot if you need to message someone pull over I don't even walk and text this is a great law

I won't even answer a phone call while I'm in my car, it's hands free, but I refuse to try and hold a conversation in a town where people turn right from left hand lanes, or make U-turns leagally, yet everywhere else in the USA it is illeagal.
