Comments for “Downtown Boise Implementation Plan - Bicycle Improvements”
-
I love the new bike symbols painted here, but there needs to be either a stop sign or a yield sign at this 90* turn because its very confusing for cyc/ped connecting to the green belt and motorists rounding the corner.
-
No one seems to know how this intersection works!
-
There should be No Left Turns allowed from northbound Fort onto southbound 9th. This is heavily used intersection, narrow, and a school zone full of kids all at the same time. A driver taking that left has to bolt at the light change, or wait forever then bolt though after the light change, and drivers swerve around the left-turn-waiting driver putting them into where bikes/peds are, and in a place they could not see due to the waiting driver.
-
I've been hit here, cutoff, and flipped off by drivers speeding down River to get to 9th, bike lane gets too narrow, the road is curvy, and drivers arrive at the intersection doing 40 where the bike lane and the right turn lane cross.
-
Consistently having drivers take a left from the 16th straight southbound lane in order to go east bound on State street (going thru the bike lane on the left).
-
Island at 15th/Fort creates pinch point where bikes/cars/peds are forced together in a complicated intersection, no bueno. Also, islands further up 15th St do the same, forcing cars into bike lanes, ending bike lanes, restarting bike lanes, dangerous for the majority of drivers/bikers that don't know how to handle them.
-
This is a busy intersection and could use a bike lane.
-
The fastest way to get from the park/BSU to Winco and Whole Foods. This road doesn't even have sidewalks on the parts of the north side of the street, so you either have to go up to Front to take the sidewalk, or go all the way down to Broadway to cross. A bike lane on both sides of the road would solve the problem.
-
The Broadway bridge is too narrow and busy for most cyclists. However, the sidewalk is too narrow for cyclists to safely pass pedestrians. This area could really use a bike lane or a pedestrian bridge.
-
This is a busy route for both cyclists and vehicles. A bike lane with a physical barrier here would make it safe.
-
The bike lane needs to continue all the way to Capitol. Drivers don't realize that cyclists are going to need to merge into their lane, and are frequently going too fast or have a high volume. Sidewalks are crammed with pedestrians. This is one of the easiest routes to downtown from BSU.
-
Great work CCDC. This block is what Boise needs to look like. A few more bike racks maybe...
-
A full bike lane, or a double wide one, would be good here. This is a very busy intersection. Commuters are in a hurry to get on 184, and the cyclist is currently forced to merge into the 2nd lane. This lane turns right and goes straight, which makes for very dangerous interactions with commuters.
-
Bike lanes on both the left and right sides of the road would be beneficial here.
-
A bike lane would be very beneficial here - there is especially high traffic in the morning.
-
Boise Ave could use some work to give a little more separation between cyclists and traffic.
-
There is a bike lane here but it is still very dangerous to cross over the freeway forcing one to go a completely different route that does not have a bike lane. The semi trucks that cross here are within a mere foot of hitting you (the dairy is on the south side of the freeway here). It is quite scary and with the added freeway below is quite treacherous.
-
A bike lane on Fort would be amazing. It's a very heavily used route. As a driver, I find that there's not enough room to safely pass cyclists. As a cyclist, I avoid it because it's took busy. A bike lane here would cut my bike commute by ~10 min.
-
Cars travel fast on this stretch. It is a great route but make cyclist uneasy.
-
First off, thanks for taking the cycling community into consideration when making plans for travel in Boise.
Amity could use some work to give cyclists more separation from traffic. Specifically from S Surprise Way to Federal Way.
-
This dip is usually full of water many time throughout the year. I am not sure what can be done.
-
This could be an amazing access point for the bench to downtown. Please push for this to happen. Capitol sidewalk is full of people and bikes.
-
We must find a way to make this corridor connect with the bench for cyclist. I see many bad behaviors happening from here to the Depot. Sidewalk cyclist, wrong way riding, drivers take the depot hill at 40+.
-
Drivers tend to see how close they can get to a cyclist in this bike lane. Driver speed it too high, drivers bank into the turn and hug the bike lane. I know you have made the bike lane wider and put a "share the road" sign" on this block (thank you very much for this, it has helped). The size of the roadway suggest faster speed and people drive them that way.
-
The shift from this point to 3 lanes after crossing Main in the bike lane or car lane is confusing. All traffic must shift after crossing Main. It seems simple enough, but drivers have a hard time figuring out what the cyclist is doing. Because of turning traffic onto Main bikes must stay in a straight path, which now puts them in the (left) traffic lane while the cars are merging over to the new left lane.
