Yes as long as they find a way for the bicycle riders to pay for them like I have to pay to drive my car on the road / motorcycle on the road / kayak on the water / boat on the water .

Eric Chandler

Bike lanes are great, but cyclists have to follow the same rules as vehicles. Also vehicles have to pay attention for cyclists so they are not hit and killed. Especially since they are going the same directions.

Rick Allen

Yes because bikes should never be on any roads!

Latterdaysaint

I say no more bike lanes until the pot holes on the streets are filled

Bike riders have very little respect for the traffic laws. As a driver around Bend every day, it's a challenge to avoid bikes that disregard the laws of the road. I think that all bikes should be licensed to pay for bike lanes and cited for traffic violations.

Nic Secor

They act like Bikes are the solution to Bend's infrastructure problem. All my life the city has flexed on how fast growing Bend is, yet they've never done anything to increase road sizes, add any bipasses or cut throughs. Here we are decades later seeing the impact of poor planning. Also, winter...

Michael Miller

Bike riding is commendable, but a seemingly tiny minority routinely does it.

Kimmy Wasatch

Bend traffic is already out of control, adding more bikes and lanes compounds the issue, also bike riders pay no fees to provide road maintenance, and many on sidewalks and not paying attention to traffic.

Oregonn8tive

Why have more bike lanes when most of the bikers seem to be on the sidewalks anyway?

Off the path

They tend to ride in the middle of the road anyways.

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

He doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

Janice Adair

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

Lisa Alexander

He was a racist person who spread hate.

Jim Terry

Need I really explain

Jane CommunityMember

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Robert Spaet

Irony: “It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights…” Charlie Kirk 2023

k san

Absolutely NOT!! He was a racist extraordinaire and spread divisive speech and ideas.

Byron Barclay

Because his MO is actually deceptive & decisive!

Martie King

He is not a hero.

Linda Spaet

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

Robert Spaet

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

Alex GERRITY

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

Laurie Maholland

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

celeste carico

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

Gerald Wonnacott

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Priscilla Smith

Absolutely not!

Shannon Gamble

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.
