12th and Newport and 12th and Galveston. NOT Wilson and 9th. I've been at that intersection weekly. Doesn't begin to compare with them 12th Street problems

try going down Reed, when there is a train blocking the 9th St traffic from Wilson and 9th.

Bear Creek and Pettigrew. So many accidents in evenings with sunsets and people running stop sign facing west blinding sun.

Butler Market and Wells Acres. Very unsafe intersection for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians

The intersection of SW Canal and Salmon in Redmond could really use one.

As many as possible, my personal pick for the next roundabout is Main st and North 3rd st in Prineville. My second pick Harwood and NW 3rd in Prineville, then Elm and NE 3rd and Combs Flat and NE 3rd. We should leave the stoplights at Deer and NW 3rd as a historical landmark, maybe put up a plaque.

The only way to put roundabouts at those intersections means that existing buildings on all four corners would have to be demolished. Goodbye Bowman Museum.

O.B. Riley and Empire please! Cars are pulling out further and further into the road way. turning left onto empire is hazardous. Not to mention it is right next to the ODOT yard and they are already working on improving the sidewalks. The city and ODOT work together?????

Roundabouts are a mess if they are anywhere near a railroad crossing, as people who cannot get around the roundabout will sit right in the middle of it, and stop everyone else, trying to go in the other 3 directions. What a mess!

Blocking intersections should earn you a ticket, same with roundabouts. Sounds like the DMV needs to educate drivers better about roundabout use.

I am a senior citizen living in a senior park between Wilson and Reed Market Road. I never use Reed Market as I can't figure out when I can go. I can handle single lane round abouts. Thank heavens the roundabouts on Wilson are going to be single lane or I would have to quit driving.

More roundabouts everywhere but can't fix Reed Market and Bond or the 97 Couplet vs pedestrian problem. Are you kidding me.

Reed Market from Bond to 15th is a joke.

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

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!

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.
