    Great work! As an Avion customer I’m interested to know these facts as well.

    I’m shocked with everything happening in this community that 2 LTTE about dogs made it into the issue. However, given this verbal assault on our 4 legged friends who are incapable of defending themselves due to their lack of thumbs and limited cognition capabilities, I feel I must rise to their defense! I have been walking our dogs off leash all over Bend for many years without a single incident. Not one! Given these experiences, I can only surmise that the overwhelming majority of citizens support the responsible off leash activities of our furry best friends. If you’re so bothered by other humans and their companions enjoying a walk, then go to Riley Ranch Nature Preserve. Furthermore, poop bags are not a real issue, sure I see a few here and there someone forgot, but I never see them left long enough to approach decomposition because they get picked up by responsible dog owners. Additionally, and in my opinion, you are not the type of person Bend needs around if you do not want the dogs of the world to enjoy a nice romp in the woods. Shame on you! Say hi to your 10 cats for me ;)

    Great work! Thanks for putting the time in on this Anthony and Ariel. I’d definitely commute more via my bike if I didn’t have to deal with the ever increasing traffic.

    I plan to vote for her, but didnt know much about the firing. Heres an article I found about the firing. Seems she chose to uphold her ethical standards rather than fall in line with a culture that included questionable, if not corrupt, practices.

    I invite others to pull up google maps and take a look at the location of the 7-10 houses adjacent to the park. As a homeowner, I fully understand protecting your home investment, and taking interest in things happening adjacent to your property, and the article doesn't talk a lot about the level of pushback from the neighbors. However, I find it ridiculous there would be any actual complaining about a bike park given the space. Would they rather the land have ended up a subdivision? I'm sure it is nice to have the city/county provide you with a nice buffer of undeveloped land behind yours. Consequently, why not count your blessings that the land isn't a subdivision, but instead is a nice park that some people would like to ride bikes in. Surely a subdivision of 50-60 houses would have created a lot more noise and light pollution then some bike riders and R/C enthusiasts. I'd be happy the land is going to be permanently utilized for recreation if I were them.

    "Why not stop the building and developing?"-Derek Sitter

    Absolutely! Someone else wrote a similar opinion years ago in The Source that I believe was titled, "If You Don't Build It, They Won't Come". This mentality makes even more sense now. I'm constantly battling traffic, and reading about insufficient sewer systems, and a generally insufficient infrastructure. Why can't the city take a break from issuing the permits necessary to facilitate growth? The city can recover from the onslaught, and make the necessary steps to regain a handle on the demands being placed on our area. Perhaps the legalities of such a thing are not feasible, but it sure seems logical.
