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
