Comments for “Downtown Boise Implementation Plan - Bicycle Improvements”
-
Cycle track (any buffered bicycle facility) would be ideal here. This road goes from the foot hills to the airport nearly. What an asset to have a North/South route like a protected bike facility.
-
This bike lane gets a little narrow and is usually filled with debris. Drivers travel fast on this road frequently.
-
The bike lane ends and turns into a left only turn, unless I cross 3 lanes of traffic quickly.
-
Narrow bike lane here. Door zone city. I do not mind riding 3 feet to the left of the bike lane, but drivers may think I belong in the lane. If resurfacing can re-striping cannot be done, perhaps some education for drivers and cyclists.
-
This is a conflict area with bikes and cars. Many drivers are turning right from 15th to Main. Perhaps the green paint could clear up where the cyclist should go. I usually take the lane a block beforehand so no drivers cut me off to turn right on Main.
-
This bicycle lane is narrow and puts many cyclist who are timid in the door zone. To be out of the door zone a cyclist must ride a few feet to the left of the bike lane. I personally do not mind riding outside of the lane, but drivers seem to think that is where I belong at all times. Education for drivers and cyclist is a must, along with enforcement.
-
Agree with the other comments on this area. This is a main corridor from bench into downtown. A plan for accessing the downtown study area (from outlying communities) should also be developed.
-
I agree with the comment that said there should be a dedicated bicycle facility here. This is a fantastic route for North/South travel. Shared lane markings, bike lanes, whatever you want.
-
New(er) bike lanes on river are great. thank you. The signal on river and 8th is overlooked by drivers. The signal is giving cyclist and pedestrians a false sense of security. Drivers travel fast on this portion.
-
Definitely a good choice in a bike route to connect Hill rd and State St. Silly road narrowing features like the one here at 23rd are dangerous for bikers and need to be removed.
-
A safe connection from warm springs to Idaho would be a great addition. maybe shared lane markings or signage telling motorist that bicycles may use full lane?
-
Good luck finding a way to connect JUMP with the Pioneer corridor. This is a great access point, but man do you have to cross tons of high speed traffic.
-
For the future, 15th and 16th streets would be a great spot for a "cycle track" (any buffered bicycle facility). This routes goes pretty much from the airport to the foot hills.
-
Contrary to the "green" color, this is not a bike path. Garden City residents in the adjacent subdivision control the city council and have designated this as a "nature path" (despite its non-native landscaping and maintenance) for walking only. ACHD and Boise City need to step up and pressure GC Council to allow bicycling on this State-deeded Greenbelt which was suppose to be a bike path.
-
From the grove to Grove street. this can be a difficult crossing for bikes and pedestrians. There is low visibility, high vehicles speeds and a disjointed crossing to get to Grove st. I am not sure how to alleviate this problem though...
-
Two bike lanes need to be placed on west side of street to accomodate north/south traffic with a physical barrier between them and the car lane.
-
Shared lane markings are great, but drivers do not know what they mean. Therefore, I am labeled a militant cyclist because of lack of education and enforcement.
-
Main artery between airport and downtown should also be bike friendly. Lots of desirable shopping is located here and should be more easily accessible by bike.
-
Beacon would be a great spot for shared lane markings for a bike lane. Drivers are going very fast and do not give cyclist room. This would connect the bench with south Boise and park center.
-
Sidewalks used by a lot of bicyclists in this area on both sides of Capital due to lack of bike lanes. There is currently no good way for a bicycle to transition from Capital onto Vista.
-
Dangerous bridge crossing for bikes due to narrowing of street width. Many bikers resort to riding on the narrow sidewalk making a hazard for pedestrians.
-
A bicycle facility of some sort up this hill would be amazing. Hundreds of bicyclist and pedestrians up and down this everyday.
-
The only direct, through-route from the St Lukes area to Costco, Whole Foods, over the river, to Bronco Stadium, to Federal Way and beyond. Needs a full bike lane for both directions along the entire length.
-
Lots of traffic here. Pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, buses. This intersection's timer is too quick for many pedestrians. The left, right turning vehicles try to edge out the pedestrian because of the quick timer.
-
The best, low traffic route from North End to BSU and dowtown parks. Should have a full bike lane.
