If only to improve air quality around schools, this is a good idea.

Is the air quality that bad? Maybe you should worry more about the air quality for our kids in the summer when the forest service lets massive fires burn out of control for two months. That would likely do more then turning your car off.

When Oregon Schools become better than 46 in the nation then we can worry about an Idle free zone the whole education system in Oregon needs to be Overhauled.

Climates have been changing since God created the earth. China has and is channeling millions of dollars to climate activates, to make the U S more dependent on them and make us weaker reducing fossil fuel use which is totally wrong. We should not be chicken little's, the sky is not falling.

Drop them off a couple blocks away from school and make them walk. You know, a little exercise.

More left wing virtue signaling nonsense that does nothing to resolve the alleged problem. It just inconveniences people. If you are worried about CO2, support the growth of nuclear power to replace coal. Otherwise stop pushing this crap on everyone else.

The climate crisis is all about gaining more control over people. The earth will do what the earth will do regardless of what we do. Liberal media and left liberal have sold this idea to our youth, sad.

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

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