Comments for “Transportation System Plan Update”

Southbound 3 lanes should be converted into: 1) left-most is must-turn left, 2) middle is optional left or straight, 3) right-most is optional straight or right. This would not require major pavement changes, only re-painting and tweaking the traffic lights.
-
On street parking improvements needed. Current situation makes for low and dangerous visibility when entering Quatama.
-
There is no bike lane, no shoulder, and a cliff on each side of the road, along with 55mph traffic. This road desperately needs bike lanes.
-
So many accidents and near accidents here! Needs to be right turn only.
-
Road and sidewalk improvements needed. Street lighting needs installed for safety.
-
The paths along this road are terrible for biking (and even walking) on. Tree roots make the surface very uneven and dangerous.
-
This intersection gets tons of pedestrians from local neighborhood foot traffic and from MAX commuters. Crossing Cornell here is dicey because the lanes on Orenco Station Pkwy are screwy. It never feels very safe to cross here.
-
This on ramp/off ramp is still dangerous for Liberty students to walk through when trying to walk south from school.
-
There are no sidewalks on one of the main drags in Hillsboro. No kid wants to walk to school in the dark without sidewalks. It's ridiculous that you can't walk from Glencoe High School to Downtown without having to walk in the street.
Why is it taking so long to remedy this situation. What exactly constitutes a higher priority? -
This intersection gets very backed up during rush hour, would like to see some type of improvement here.
-
Some type of divider separating the new turn lanes at this intersection are needed, people speed into the turn lane and then expect everyone in the through lane to stop and allow them into the flow of traffic because they are in the wrong lane.
-
Very difficult to turn at this intersection in either direction. I am concerned this will only get worse as the South Hillsboro developments are finished. A light and intersection would be very helpful.

Bentley is extremely dangerous to walk/ cycle on. There is little to no room off of the road and vehicles are always speeding. The dip in the road is especially dangerous as drivers can't see pedestrians. With as much traffic as this street gets, sidewalks are absolutely necessary.
-
No sidewalk, bike path, or reasonable alternative to these things along first street.
-
Signs on both sides of the street say "No Truck Parking" yet each evening there are always several parked there and sometimes right under the "no truck parking" signs. What can be done to enforce what is already there?

Cornell road is Death Road for Bicyclists. I cannot ride on this road without fear for my life. Everytime I ride on this road, I fear it will be my last time. Here are the issues, the traffic is very fast, this needs to be 35mph road. The traffic is too heavy. Please reduce number of car lanes and drastically improve your bus service so that people have an incentive to use buses. This road also ferries goods trucks. Giant semi-trucks barrel past bicyclists at 45-50mph with only 3 to 4 feet of gap. It creates a dangerous air current/suction pulling the cyclists into the traffic. There is so little gap that sometimes when a utility ford truck passes by with equipment in the back, I'm afraid that some equipment which is sticking out to the side will slam into me from behind.
The road is banked to encourage speeding and drivers do not care about the rumble strips. You cannot fix this road without physical barrier between cars and bicyclists. If your transportation planning committee is reading this comment, please raise hands if you've ridden your bicycle on this stretch of cornell during morning rush hour. If you have fewer than 4 hands then you need to add more cyclists to this committee who know what I'm talking about. Just go walk in the middle of the bike lane on this stretch, the whole way. -
These blocks have a speed limit of 35mph. Unfortunately, drivers transit this at 40-45mph on a daily basis. This area has both commercial establishments and residences. It is many times difficult to exit driveways and there is the added danger to children when traffic flow is so fast. Please lower the speed limit to 25. Thank you.
-
Speed needs to be raised on this street-25 is way too slow for a long straight street. (I try to avoid driving here-but with traffic getting more congested we need all the streets moving we can!).
35 would still be conservative, but better -the crazy part is it is higher (30mph) at the curved area!
Thank-you for this opportunity-have wanted to comment on this for 30 years! -
We seriously need a bike lane on this stretch. Please consider creating a rapid transit bus route on cornell to reduce car traffic and thereby create space for bike lanes.

Working for Qorvo, it is very difficult to pull out on Brookwood because the trees in the middle of the road make it difficult to see traffic coming. Brookwood and Cornell is also a hot spot for accidents. Cars are often going above the speed limit. It is also so busy and takes my 15 min to drive 3 miles home.
-
There is a bend in the road on 10 th that was put in recently and people do not care that it is not their lane. I have almost been hit 3 times because people cross over the solid line. People in the left lane go straight instead of curving left, they do not look to see that the right lane has the right of way when their lane divides into 2 lanes
-
This curve in the 28th Ave to 25th Ave is so dangerous to bicycles. Cars just go straight onto the cycle path. This is a high risk point.
-
There is no sane way for a bicyclists on eastbound baseline to take this left onto 60th Avenue. We need islands in the road so that a pedestrian/bicyclist is not trying to cross 5 lanes with traffic at 45mph. Also install a bike box and light here.
-
This stretch of road is a funnel road for lots of residences and people heading to the Noble Woods park, Orenco Woods Nature Park, Orenco School and Quatama Elementary School. Please create a wide bike/pedestrian lane on each side so that children can walk/ride to park/school.

Add a sidewalk on the south side of Wilkins after the signal, East of 206th.
