Dumb poll but E Bikes are not a big deal I have 2 we ride them all over The ones in picture look kind of cheap. Really a Worthless Poll to make people take a side

Bend, especially has enough traffic problems without having to deal with electric bikes.

Another hazard for us to deal with. Drunk e-bike riders. What could possibly go wrong. I wonder if they will have insurance to pay for accidents?

Bicycles of any kind have no place whatsoever on public roads, it is an obvious accident waiting to happen, people deliberately put themselves in harms way! Bicycles should be expressly forbidden on road with NO SHOULDER!!! They do not have and should not have any right of way, they pay no taxes!

They will be left all over the place and there needs to be more straight laws. Like are you a pedestrian or a car? Forced to wear helmets if you are using any turning lanes or round a bouts. If they are a car forced to stop at signals and signs. They rule the road in bend and don't get the liability

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

I agree with commissioner Patti Adair - there are other alternatives.

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
