I'd simply like the lights to turn green for me when I'm stopped at a light riding home after work at night. They currently don't because they are all linked to sensors embedded in the road that don't detect the amount of metal in a bike.

I'd like the city crews to actually plow the snow out of the bike lane instead of into it, and do the same with street debris.

I'd like all the pedestrian crossings to automatically display the walk sign each light cycle rather than requiring a pedestrian to push the button. People in cars don't have to push a button to get a green light, why do people on foot or people on a bike have to?

These changes would cost the city virtually nothing, would not inconvenience people in cars, and would go a long way toward making Bend far more friendly toward people on bikes and people on foot.
