What mistake did they make?

This is a minimum of 10 years overdue. They widened and made 6th St. and 5th St. one-way in 2007, and they should have been considering a bypass at that time. This is definitely overdue. A bypass around Bend is mandatory and definitely overdue as well.

HWY 97 from the California border to the Columbia River should be minimum 2 lanes in each direction with median barrier.

It is essential to prevent further decay of the traffic movement that now causes thousands of hours of nonproductive activity on Hwy 97.

Just don't screw it up like last time! A bypass should bypass not bottle neck. Also Don't do like bend did and make it a dangerous bicycle lane and 45 mph, it should be a freeway bypass with easy access if Redmond is the goal for your trip.

It is needed but not on the back of Redmond citizens. This is a federal highway, I will vote no if they try to raise my taxes,

It will help the traffic that goes through there all the time and the semi trucks if they can have another way to go, because ones you get into Redmond long wait of Back up Traffic , So I hope this will help Thank you

The roads we have now aren't maintained by the city except to do the bare minimum. The cheap seal coat doesn't last and now they want to waste money on building this to which it too will fall into disrepair! The roundabouts not unless they can handle the Semi Trucks without going across center!

Better to have them in a supervised setting than simply putting them back on the streets.

I'd much rather have them housed in a central location together where they are monitored than homeless on the streets where the chances of them reoffending is much higher. Use your brain, Gabe.

It's intrusive and distracting. Free speech, yes. But you can't scream "fire" in a theater when there is none and call it "free speech". The county should also consider banning vehicles flying 60 square foot flags with the F word and other flags that are a greater safety hazard than lawn signs.

It was stated last year to take them because they can be an extraction but nothing was done about!

So are yard sales signs but no one complains about them. It doesn't last that long. Good grief, barking dogs are much more annoying.

Why do watch KTVZ if you so dislike it? Watch Central Oregon News. It's much more liberal.

Having a sign on my property is a constitutionally protected activity freedom of speech. If my son hurts your feelings that's your problem Karen!

Not so. Can you scream "Fire" in a theater and call that free speech? Nonsense

The poll question is about having signs on right-of-way, it's highly unlikely your yard is considered right-of-way, Karen.

Karen - your yard is not a public right of way.

Hmmm My Property has actually 2 right of ways on it I still own it pay taxes on it for now but the City has already told me not to use it. I don't think this is what the poll is about but leave the guy alone you big bad Internet Bullies.
