So many people run stop signs drive to fast on 18

This street on the northbound lane is degrading and too many drivers take this at a high rate of speed. I'd love to see a realignment in this area and 20mph from State all the way to Hill.

Car run this stop sign all the time!!! Our kids walk and bike to school, and early morning walkers/dog walkers have to be alert. Let's do something to make 26th more safe. Slow cars down. There is a school on this road, and kids use it to get to two schools on 28th (Lowell and the Learning Tree). It seems that no one is aware that schools or kids even exist in high volume here.

Better school zone markings, this is a heavily used crossing for both bike/ped traffic. Junior high students may take unnecessary risks to cross due to the traffic issues. A RRFB would be a great addition to this intersection.

My family actively avoids walking & biking on Irene. It needs sidewalks, please!

Most of the intersections on 26th have some amount of foliage that blocks visibility to traffic on 26th, especially bikes. During spring & summer please monitor the landscaping plants and discuss with landowners.

An amazing number of drivers blow through this intersection. Most troubles we see occur with kids to/from Lowell.

No sidewalks here. Drivers on Hazel are often focused on parked cars, they are not looking for bikes and people. Lots of kids from Lowell walk on the grass yards to avoid the street.

This intersection seems like it would be the perfect candidate for a bike- and pedestrian-friendly roundabout design

There would be more room for bikes to be safely passed by cars on 15th if the decorative medians were removed.

Blind blind blind. Hard to see cars coming down Hill from the West. Hard to know when it's safe to turn or cross and get going fast enough for them not to hit us after they come around the corner.

Having a bike lane on 9th street going South and a bike lane on 8th street heading North would do a great service to motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists in ensuring all parties can efficiently move traffic to their intended destination. In absence of a bike lane, motorists must slow traffic, merge into a separate lane or "straddle" lanes, and in other ways work around cyclists while cyclists either move into less safe portions of the road or even worse, avoid using these thoroughfares altogether. Instead, cyclists travel the wrong way on one ways, use sidewalks placing safety at risk to pedestrians as well as cyclists at intersections, and in other ways creating problems in what should be a safe route for all transportation.

People constantly run the stop sign here and I am worried that someday a pedestrian or bicyclist will get hit at this intersection. Irene needs sidewalks from 28th to state badly as well as consistent sidewalks from 28th to 13th. This is a busy street for cars and pedestrians.

As a mother living on 26th St. at Irene, I know that the need for sidewalks along 26th St is VERY, VERY real. My son and his friends are up and down 26th and are walking in the street. I had to teach my son to ride his bike on the street. We have to walk to school 26th > Bella > 28th (sometimes a few other routes) on the street. We need sidewalks and we need them badly. What's more, there is an easement in place to be paved, it just needs to be done. I don't think bike lanes are super necessary... I'm going to ride where i want in this neighborhood.

change speed limit to 20MPH in this section to match 20MPH speed limit on Highland View above Arygyll Dr.

A number of children and neighbors and their pets walk up and down this street. The road curve and fast drivers make this an uncomfortable and unsafe street to walk or bike down. The continuation of the existing sidewalk would provide a great benefit to the neighborhood.

Crossing Hill Rd. at Lancaster Dr. is very difficult and unsafe. There are many school age children in the Lancaster and Hillway neighborhood who are trying to cross Hill Rd. at high traffic times to go to/from school on bikes or on foot. In addition, many people who live South of Hill Rd. are trying to cross Hill to access the foothills. I feel that the roundabout at 36th St. and the construction of the North Hill townhouses will only compound this problem because they will create constant flowing traffic and an increased number of cars on Hill Rd., respectively. I would really like to see a blinking crosswalk that makes traffic stop at this intersection.

The bike lane that is sandwiched between 15th street traffic going North and the right turn lane to Camel Back Ln. is not bike friendly. Add a protective barrier and lower the speed limit in this section to 25 MPH to match the 25 MPH speed limit on Highland View Dr.

Install traffic circle here. Stop signs at 4-way stop are too far apart adding confusion to bikers and pedestrians to the rotation of the cross traffic. This would allow better traffic flow.

9th & Resseguie: A pushbutton flashing crosswalk needs to be installed here. Countless cars drive through the crosswalk while kids are coming and going from school. There have been multiple near accidents in the last several months.

As a major artery to downtown I believe the street is wide enough to accommodate a safe offset for bike lane. This change in addition to 8th Street being a designated bike route would help traffic flow to and from the foothills.

A four way stop and/or removing parking spots adjacent to the intersection would be really helpful for pedestrians crossing 8th.

This should be part of the Boise bicycle highway with well marked bike lanes, signage and green intersections.
