I just realized last month that the Bird ebikes where not littering the sidewalks.

SA Timms

Too many bike riders currently riding on a sidewalk, then they change to a street, then a bike path. BTW...how fast will these ebikes go. Also, many riders aren't cautious....currently. Who's going to enforce an age minimum? THIS is already a problem! Hope accidents don't happen.

Joal Smith

I agree 100% Even Walking is dangerous because of bikes

Wade Palmer

These are a nuisance and left all over town. That and the traffic problems caused by less car lanes.

Lisa York

great ..more e bikes left all over the city... they're a nuisance...

Tammie Hagemann

I voted this way because I still have 50.00 on the blue bird bike app that I can't get back at all. I had NO idea that when the program ended you wouldn't get your money back

Scott Burge

The pilot program failed. Tourists can rent bikes from shops in town. This is a waste of time and money.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Kimmy Wasatch

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students

This just gives our school teachers ONE more thing to do! This generation has already asked them to raise our kids! Why don't you just take care of the cellphone problem at home!

Tammie Hagemann

There are times that they shouldn't have them but check them at the door of class rooms to cut back on the use. Emergencies do happen and cells are useful

Scott Burge

I agree but there are other age appropriate options for safety.

There is too much fire danger too close to the city to allow this any longer. I personally have a blind dog who was in terror for the full week before the 4th of July. I’m not unpatriotic and people should be able to have fun, But I feel it should be limited to a public display of fireworks only.
