the 3or 4 which have virtually no merging lane to the south bound side

I would close only one on/off area to see how it works instead of closing all 3

Bend's not big enough to do this - but we should address why every on-ramp is different along the Bend Parkway.

Instead of meters how about fixing the on and off ramps with correct merge and exit lanes

I have lived in cities with these, and they are not that helpful. Many times, they stay red even when there is no traffic. I would never rely on them w/o looking back 1st, so what's the point?.

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.

Delaney Gates

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.

Get it done, it's way past time.

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

Alma and Bruce Miller

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

Robert 'Lew' Lewandowski

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