Absolutely! The need is here in Central Oregon for a by-pass around Sisters. South of Sisters on Elm St (3 Creeks Road) I hear Sisters ODOT has had plans for years for this accommodation. Call 'em!

Would love to see 4 way stops at Drouillard and Lemhi, and Newport Hills and Lemhi. Three accidents I'm aware of in the last year or so, two of which were lucky no fatalities, could have been avoided.

Where Old bend Redmond highway and 20 meet, also cook ave in Tumalo where it meets 20 and OB Riley. Living near Tumalo these are my best routes to bend and they have gotten very bad the last few years

The streets in NWX narrow at intersections, which makes it very hard to turn onto a street when another vehicle is there, waiting to turn onto the street you are turning from. Very poor design.

15th and Wilson. Definitely needs traffic flow help. If a round about is not an option due to space, perhaps a light ought to be!

Roundabout at Powell Butte Highway and Butler Market Road would prevent a lot of accidents. Traffic light at Hwy 20 and Erickson.

Bypass around Bend and double lanes in Hwy. 97 all the way to Klamath Falls.

Reroute 97, put a light where the old highway hits 20 or put in an interchange, put another parking garage downtown, more and wider biking lanes and more sidewalks.

Change the light at 3rd and Brosterhous/Division so the East and West bound traffic has to take turns. Reds are constantly ran when someone is turning left.

There needs to be a change at the intersection of Erickson, Torkelson and E. Hwy 20. Either closing Erickson & Torkelson to Hwy 20 or a traffic light at this site would be the right thing to do.

The comments on the "yes" side are mostly calling for improvements in town, outside of neighborhoods. While I agree big changes need to be made as Bend grows, it is not the topic of this poll.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
