Taking a true right turn onto the parkway, where traffic is often flowing at about 55 mph, is simply unsafe for the person entering the parkway and trying to get up to speed and for drivers coming up behind them who'll need to break and accommodate new cars. Show Less

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

Richard Dillard

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

Needs a merging lane

Should have been done years ago for safety.

Even though they're not traditional, these entrances provide extra access to the Parkway from the Old Mill and Downtown Bend, which are tough to get to anyway.

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.

Kevin Scoggin

Add acceleration and decel lanes...problem solved.

Johanna Groza

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

Jim Van Osdell

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

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
