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

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
