YES and the department should PRIORITIZE fixing them!

Take a drive down McKenzie Pass to Springfield.

The city should fix all the potholes before doing anymore projects

You know that costs money, right, Gabe? And that money comes from taxes, which you constantly say you don't think we should pay. You can't have liberal wants with your outdated and archaic conservative views.

I try to avoid Bend as much as possible.

Tracy Evans

If you're going to spend that kind of money, then maybe you should use it for better use. The homeless could use more refurbished hotel/motels and or you could just build a facility. Trying to make our city pretty for the sake of wasting money makes me wonder what our city counselors are thinking.

Jon Krutsch

If the Franklin and Greenwood underpasses were not close by, it wouldn't be a total waste. But they are so it is.

Ben Hargis

The homeless won't even use it.... they'll continue to just wander across the parkway at their own leisure.

Jeff Sanders

Only for those in that direct vicinity. How many people really need to cross right there anyway?

Sam Ackerman

I dont walk or ride a bike to go shopping or to work. 20 million is a lot of money to spend for another very short bike/walking trail.

d zimmerman

I use Hawthorne exit from parkway. Construction will block it and its not clear if it will reopen after construction

Lorie Whitson

It's a big waist of money.

snowzone

Get real!! who's going to use it. That's $25,000,000 to get a handful of people across the parkway that could be put to better use.

snowzone

for $25 million if 500 people cross it in a year that's 5000 in 10 years That's $5000 a crossing. Buy them a cab.

Don't see any benefit for anyone other than maybe those who can sell land to the city. I live in SE Bend. I am not going to drive over to the bridge, park, cross over the bridge, and walk several blocks to downtown.
