Lowering or raising speed limits doesn't prevent traffic accidents enforcement of the present speed limits and other traffic laws is what it takes

The Parkway is already at 45. Even the highest speed around here (65) is lower than in a lot of States.

You know that costs money, right, Gabe? And that money comes from taxes, which you constantly say you don't think we should pay. You can't have liberal wants with your outdated and archaic conservative views.
If you're going to spend that kind of money, then maybe you should use it for better use. The homeless could use more refurbished hotel/motels and or you could just build a facility. Trying to make our city pretty for the sake of wasting money makes me wonder what our city counselors are thinking.

If the Franklin and Greenwood underpasses were not close by, it wouldn't be a total waste. But they are so it is.

The homeless won't even use it.... they'll continue to just wander across the parkway at their own leisure.

Only for those in that direct vicinity. How many people really need to cross right there anyway?

I dont walk or ride a bike to go shopping or to work. 20 million is a lot of money to spend for another very short bike/walking trail.

I use Hawthorne exit from parkway. Construction will block it and its not clear if it will reopen after construction

Don't see any benefit for anyone other than maybe those who can sell land to the city. I live in SE Bend. I am not going to drive over to the bridge, park, cross over the bridge, and walk several blocks to downtown.

Lowering speed limits might be an effective means of reducing injury and fatal traffic accidents but only if the limits are regularly enforced. One important way to "protect and serve" is zero to low tolerance enforcement every day.
