Lowering speed limits might be an effective means of reducing injury and fatal traffic accidents but only if the limits are regularly enforced. One important way to "protect and serve" is zero to low tolerance enforcement every day.

Lowering or raising speed limits doesn't prevent traffic accidents enforcement of the present speed limits and other traffic laws is what it takes

The Parkway is already at 45. Even the highest speed around here (65) is lower than in a lot of States.

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.
