It's not particularly helpful. The lot names on the signs are too small to read while watching traffic and for pedestrians. The only reason I could read it was that we were stopped for a red light.

I haven't seen them, but it seems like taking time to read them and figure out where they are directing you to would not work unless you are stopped at a red light and have time to figure them out. By the time you might reach where you were directed to the space may be gone. Seems like a waste.

It does not work. It tells you. But until it holds it for you to get there, its pointless.

I don't shop downtown anymore. It's not what it used to be.

Very distracting. We should be looking out for pedestrians, other drivers and traffic signals. How are visitors going to know where the Mirror Pond Lot is or the Centennial Garage is?

The system was installed to have a negative effect on downtown patrons so to add to the City Councils long term plan of removing cars from downtown.

It's just a distraction. By the time you get to an open spot it could be gone. We're just staying away from downtown.

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.
