    Horrible access from River Road to Trolley Trail. Sidewalks here would be great

    This is an excellent idea!

    Improve the bikeability to the local schools like Riverside to maximize safety of children and their families along these bike lanes.

    This would greatly ease my commute between West Linn and Oak Grove. It would bring great business opportunities to both communities. Such a bridge would greatly expand the bike/ped possibilities of the Portland Metro region. The Steel Bridge is a great example of a bridge used for trains to be converted into a bridge that serves both trains and bike/ped options. Let's make it happen!

    Cycling between the two urban halves of Clackamas County is currently quite hazardous. I would not take a child on hwy 43 for anything. This bridge would allow people to commute, visit and recreate by bike in a safe and comfortable manner. Bicycling is the most energy efficient form of transportation that man as yet developed. It will be one of the most important forms of transport moving into the future as gas prices rise. This would be a world class project that would bring bicycling tourism into and around Clackamas County.

    A pedestrian/bike crossing between Lake Oswego and Milwaukie/Oak Grove would connect the Trolley Trail to Lake Oswego and would greatly enhance accessibility for residents on both sides of the river. Please consider adding this to the top of your Tier 1 priority list.

    A roundabout, stop sign, or other traffic calming device is necessary at the intersection of Courtney and Oatfield. There is low visibility at this intersection, because of Oatfield's angle on Courtney and dense hedges. To get onto Oatfield from Courtney, cars turning left and right have to fight for visibility, igniting road rage. Then, motorists regularly peel out after waiting for a long time and then trying to accelerate to turn onto Oatfield. Unsurprisingly, accidents are fairly common. I'd hate to be a pedestrian trying to cross here.

    This could be an important bike route because it is very flat in a hilly area. The narrow lanes and high speeds make it very scary to ride though.

    I would have used this every weekday for my commute to my previous job. I expect to use it twice a week without a job in that direction.

    I think it would be terrific to increase bicycle and pedestrian accessibility in the region. My family and I bike every weekend together; great infrastructure has/is being built in Portland (Springwater) and Milwaukie (Trolley Trail), what a shame that it is so difficult to access beautiful spaces on either side of the river. We love to ride with a destination, whether it is from downtown Milwaukie out the Trolley Trail to visit the Clackamas River, or to Sellwood for a great bite to eat. We would love to ride across the river to get a scoop of Tillamook icecream, or shop at Sur La Table, or make our way to Tryon Creek State Park. This bridge seems like an obvious choice for the County TSP since both sides of the river lie within the same county! I am in support of the Lake Oswego to Milwaukie Bridge, and hope that our Commissioners will consider the many benefits.

    any improvments to McLoughlin are welcome. There is so much going on on the strip(cars, left turns, driveways, pedestrians, flags, signs,etc) that it makes driving difficult and hard to see peds/bikes. There definetly needs to be more enhancements for non-auto uses but calming or other traffic improvements should be considered as well.

    Please add safe bike and ped ways for travel on Aldercrest. I travel by bike on this road and I pedal as fast as I can...even though it could be a really pleasant commute.

    Please a ped/bike bridge to LO- it would be a great option I might actually go to LO and cut travel time for those who commute.

    A bike/ped bridge across the Willamette between Oak Grove and L.O. would benefit so many residents of Clackamas county. Let's do this!

    It would be very nice if there was a motorized vehicle bridge closer than the Sellwood Bridge and the Oregon City I-205 crossing to West Linn. If that isn't possible, a pedestrian/bike crossing between Lake Oswego and Milwaukie/Oak Grove would be so wonderful!! Please consider this and add to the top of your list!

    This is a very needed bridge between two great areas and an added convenience for all of SW Portland.

    There is currently a huge gap for cyclists trying to cross the river between Sellwood and Oregon City. I would be in complete support of this project!

    While this project could be intrusive to the property owners along Aldercrest, this road is unacceptably unsafe as a pedestrian or bike thoroughfare, especially at night or in bad weather. If anyone is to use this beautiful route as a cyclist or a pedestrian, facilities will have to be built on one side or the other. This should have a higher priority - Tier 2.

    We really need a bike/ped path through here. It would make the commute so much better between Milwaukie and Lake Oswego.

    While it's true that the Oak Grove Post Office is on Naef, I use this street a lot and have never once seen a pedestrian north of the park. Is there some data that suggests that this is a priority over such places as school neigborhoods? Tier 3 is the right one.

    If what is meant here by "pedways" is sidewalks, you're getting into the area of the neighborhood where pedestrians and bikes can share infrastructure, if it's built right. There is a lot of sidewalk on Park Ave already, and the gaps should be filled. And it's a main thoroughfare to the Park Avenue Light Rail station, so it needs to be in Tier 1. Just be mindful that sidewalks aren't called for everywhere in this part of the County.
