    Jefferson, 11th, 12th 1st priority for converting to 2 way

  2. June 26 2013

    16th & Jefferson corner: OPPOSED to 2 way Jefferson Street conversion:
    a.) Eliminates parking at 1519, 1517, etc. -> (south of 15th) going east. Affects parking for private residence & business & 2 rental buildings
    b.) Jefferson narrows to just 2 lanes from 14th St. westward TOO NARROW for the turn off 16th St. going south onto Jefferson going east. Would severely endanger any biker in the proposed bike lane going east on Jefferson (on south side of street) -> JUST DOESN'T WORK
    c.) Pedestrian traffic heavy at 16th & Jefferson corner from RiteAid customers/homeless, (2 women's shelters between 14th and 15th) & sanctuary (further southward off 16th) - TOO DANGEROUS FOR PEDESTRIANS

    Relates to roundabouts: The current light system is better than before, but traffic on River Street rarely sees bicycles so doesn't stop. A roundabout would enable unimpeded flow.

    13th 2-way is necessary to make the street accessible to bikes. Really, a no-brainer.

    13th Street needs to be 2 way traffic

    Highly recommend coversion of 13th Street to two-way all the way from the connector into the north end. We have an office near the corner of 13th & State and over the years we have witnessed several accidents and even more near misses. At the corner of 13th & State, motorists aren't aware of the street changing into a two-way & motorists heading south on 13th trying to get to the connector are forced to turn left onto State, then right onto 12th to get to the connector. Unfortunately, motorists going north tend to run through the amber light, not allowing the southbound drivers to make their left hand turn.

    Strongly disagree w/ planned two-way conversions. If anything, expanded and proper one-way converstions would help traffic flow not only for motorists, but for bicyclists & pedestrians (via only needing to look one way for traffic). Suggested conversions:
    1. One way couplet for State (WB) and Jefferson (EB) between 3rd & 16th, w/ turns on SB 16th & NB 3rd. This can also move traffic away from St. Luke's and West End
    2. Retention & expansion fo 3rd/4th couplet to Julia Davis Park, including extension of 4th between Grove & Front. Could also provide for decorative at 4th south of Myrtle
    3. One way couplet of 11th (still NB) and 13th (convert to SB), including all portions between Main & Myrtle. If one street must be two way, then consider using 12th as the couplete, and extend it between Front & Myrtle
    Of major concern is left turning traffic onto Front & Myrtle. Two-way streets (such as 3rd, 4th, 11th, and 13th) will make this very difficult as downtown traffic grows
