While I use them, they are poorly designed. We wouldn't be having this discussion if they had been done better in the first place. No one goes the speed limit and unfortunately its not enforced much

The biggest problem is that when people enter the parkway they do not speed up[ causing a dangerous situation.

2 many design flaws but, the short off/on accesses on the parkway does move an amount of traffic that's beneficial. If not, they'd be directed back to 3rd st and you know what that's like now-a-days!

Access to certain areas is hard enough w/o closing the few accesses there are.

If people actually drove the speed limit 45mph, it wouldn't be so hazardous. The speed limit needs to be enforced on the parkway.

The entry on to the Parkway need to be improved... That is where the larger problem lies, especially from the safety perspective

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.
