The path connecting Hazel street is a wonderful bike connection to Whitewater park, but it gets overgrown with weeds, and the steep bumpy dirt path going down from the canal path to West Hazel could be improved for bikes with kid trailers.

The pathway above the canal, behind lowell, gets overgrown with thorny bushes. Can you send a work crew to clear those out?

There is no sidewalk on either side of the street here on Hazel and 23rd. We walk down Hazel a lot and have to walk in the street on this section.

There is no sidewalk at all on 24th leading to Elm Grove Park. This is the route we take, and when my children start going alone, I want them off the street. Thanks!

Children walking to Lowell should have a sidewalk here. Thanks!

Harrison is a scary street to cross. Vehicles are usually going pretty fast and don't stop. As a driver, it is hard to see pedestrians waiting to cross with parked cars, trees, etc. The scenery can be a distraction to the driver too. I don't think we can afford more stop lights with all the traffic but possibly installing some flashing crosswalks will help everyone out. 15th street is in a similar situation.

23rd street is heavily traveled by walkers, bikers, and joggers getting to/from Elm Grove park. There are few sidewalks so people are in the street, and with parked cars on both sides, its reduced to one lane, so there can be some congestion when vehicles and pedestrians are getting through. I don't know what can be done here as there isn't much room, but pedestrians should have a safe place to walk.

This is an overall comment: there needs to be an examination of the major pedestrian destinations and the major routes to and between those places, similar to an origin and destination study for vehicles. Using that information, in addition to these more random comments, identify improvements that would enhance those routes that are used by most pedestrian and bicyclists.

The southbound bike lane on 15th is a road to nowhere. There are no viable options for cyclists to continue southbound at 15th and Fort. this is why I ride on Harrison.

Harrison is used by more and more cyclists for their commute. There is ample room for a parking strip, bike lane, and vehicle lane to formalize this.

Dewey needs sidewalks from 20th to Harrison.

In addition to the comment that many ignore the no right on red, vehicles traveling west on Hayes, frequently are confused about the left turn pocket and go into the far right lane.

Great location for a roundabout. Very confusing intersection.

Signal or four-way stop is needed

Fancy Freeze is a major pedestrian destination. Yet 14th streets is the only street directly west of the Capital without a signal. I have witnessed mothers and children from the Women and Children's Alliance dash across state street in pursuit of ICE CREAM.

15th street is a major pedestrian barrier across Franklin and Washington. These two east-west streets are used by students and other to walk between the high school and Albertsons-17th Street Marketplace. There are crosswalks at all the other north-south streets but not at 15th. Vehicles who have been waiting at the light at State to travel north on 15th are accelerating just as they approach these two streets. Pedestrians need to be given more priority at these crossings.

13th Street access to and from the North End will always be used by cyclists. These streets need bike lanes.

8th and 9th Street access to and from the North End will always be used by cyclists because it's the most direct and efficient route. These streets need bike lanes. If an auto lane needs to be eliminated and traffic slows down, fine.

I strongly suggest a flashing yellow/caution for cars coming south on Hill prior to this turn. With little kids soccer at Camelsback it's a tragedy in the making (hate to say so). Camelsback park use has increased dramatically in the last 5 years. It's time.

Irene St needs bike lanes and/or wider streets/complete sidewalks--the intersection of 24th and 25th and Irene especially are tricky for seeing bikers and pedestrians, and many cars travel this road to get to Whitewater now. More visibility for those on bikes or on foot, or a clearer bike/foot route would help, except for right by Elm Grove.

Sunset Ave is a major through street, it should have bike lanes and wide walks.

32nd St has become a very busy road. As it connects Sunset Ave and has a very active park (Sunset Park) there needs to be sidewalks for pedestrians. It becomes especially dangerous during morning/after school/evening rush hour when people drive WAY over the speed limit, children are walking/biking to schools, people are exercising, and walking dogs. In the Spring-Fall when the park is heavily used in the afternoons by organized sports many people are forced to park on the street, thereby forcing pedestrians to walk even closer to the center of the street. Sidewalks please.
