Comments for “2014 Billings Urban Area Long Range Transportation Plan”
-
Bench Blvd. behind the Blue Basket does not drain at all following a heavy rain. A deep puddle develops that extends over both lanes of traffic and this creates traffic hazards. Drainage is also a problem around the corner on Pemberton.
-
Perhaps the big ditch trail could be developed to connect the Heights with the MSUB campus area.
-
Semi truck traffic turning between Main St and the E. Airport Rd is dangerous. Rerouting these trucks to avoid the Heights would be more beneficial and improve safety than spending money on the Mary Street Bypass
-
provide bike lanes along Alkali Creek Rd to where it turns to gravel.
-
Pave Alkali Creek to Hwy 3 and allow room for bike lanes :)
-
Better patrolling for transients who camp out in the Coulson Park area.
-
How about a stop light at the nasty intersection of Roundup Rd/Old Hwy 312/Main St?
-
Looking forward to when this trail that goes in a tunnel under Main Street will be connected to the trail that runs through Alkali Creek. It's dangerous to have to ride your bike along the Airport Rd before finally reuniting with the trail along Alkali Rd.
-
SemiTruck traffic at the intersection of Airport Rd and Main Street is terrible. Rigs have difficulty managing turns across traffic from Main St. onto the E. Airport Rd. Frequently the light has turned red and the truck is still in the middle of a very busy street. Truck traffic to HWY 3 must be rerouted and taken off Main St.
-
How about adding an overpass or tunnel for the bike trail so users can safely get across Wicks Ln. Cars and trucks are not good about stopping for pedestrians at this intersection. There are a lot of children who use this trail and I worry someone will get hit by a car.
-
Any chance the city buses could come down Mary Street? I might be inclined to use the bus system if it did.
-
Turning across traffic onto Normal Avenue from Rimrock Rd. is dicey during peak times. Part of the issue is that turn lane on Rimrock has an S curve to it. Oncoming traffic tends to cross the line into the turn lane.
-
The intersection of No. 30th, Poly Drive and the entrance into MSUB is unsafe. Northbound cars do not have to stop on 30th when they turn east on Poly. This gets confusing when you also have cars exiting MSUB.
-
It would be great of the Black Otter Trail could be extended west of the airport roundabout towards Zimmerman Trail.
-
A turning lane at the traffic light at Wicks and Lake Elmo would be helpful to aid drivers trying to turn onto Lake Elmo across traffic on Wicks.
-
Could the traffic light at Pemberton and Main Street be a little longer for those drivers on Pemberton who are trying to turn onto Main or cross Main?
-
When can this part of the trail be extended all the way to Riverfront Park?
-
Sidewalks are needed along Bench Blvd. This area is used by school children waiting for the bus or walking to school. They have very little room to walk and even less when snow plows make snow piles on the sides of the roads. In addition, Bench Blvd. is very dark which decreases safety.
-
Bike lanes and sidewalks are needed for those commuting on N. 27th between the airport roundabout and Rimrock Rd. This road has a lot of bike/pedestrian/runner use and cars go quite fast. They need a safe place to be.
-
Bike lanes are needed for riders heading into town from the Heights. Otherwise, they end up riding on the sidewalks.
-
A trail that runs from Shiloh west to 62nd St. or 58th St. would be great!
-
The NW corner of this intersection has very limited visibility when heading east on Poly and trying to make a right hand (southward) turn onto N. 27th. Part of the reason is there's a huge electrical box that is parked right in the middle of the sidewalk that blocks views of drivers looking up the airport road.
-
We would love to see the walk/bike trail on Shiloh head West on Grand towards the new subdivisions being built as far out as 58th St.
-
There needs to be more frequent and direct bus service from the heights to MSU Billings!
