No bike/ped facilities on Trainor Gate; particularly eastbound; very difficult area to navigate safely.

Difficult pedestrian movement from westbound Trainor Gate to southbound Old Steese Hwy (during a bike & ped count, 2 pedestrians j-walked halfway between new and old Steese to move from north to south side).

Sidewalk needs to be extended to Mitchell intersection for bikes and pedestrians.

Could use a path and bridge from here south into Peirce park for neighborhood and school access.

Plently of public land along the north side of the river to make a riverwalk between Illinois and Old Steese/Wendell

This area needs a crossing, either on Peger or over the bridge when the Riverwalk is complete.

Sidewalk maintenance in this area is a noman's land. It can be plowed on either side but the middle is still unpassable.

need a good connection here in winter. The Ballaine trail deadends and there is no way to get from this point to the path a little further down Ballaine without looping through this neighborhood road.

Revamp access path and parking area to improve drainage and ADA access.

The hot springs road is in desperate need of a bike path. The shoulders are in bad shape to a point of utterly dangerous for riding on

It would be fantastic to have a bike path along the hot springs road..the shoulders are so narrow and very cracked from frost heaves. Such a dangerous road to bike on but so very popular amongst cyclists

Many cyclists, joggers, and pedestrians use Spinach Creek Rd, which has zero shoulder in many places. It would be fantastic to have the shoulder widened for safer non-motorized use (and in an ideal world, a dedicated path - even perhaps a dedicated path all the way along Spinach Creek, Murphy Dome, and Sheep Creek Rds to the university).

This side of Geist should have a sidewalk as well. Those coming from Parks Highway pathway to Justa Store area now need to cross Geist Road additional 2 times. Before there was no bike path along Parks but now that it is built this is a disconnect area until you get to the other side of the underpass where Geist has sidewalks on both sides.

A path should be along east side of Peger Rd to connect from Airport Way to the river pathway. The path under the bridge is sometimes flooded.

Despite the redesign the path still feels unsafe along Geist. Drivers are focused on other cars, particularly when making left turns and not on pedestrians. The plaza entrances offer too many points of conflict. A frontage road could possibly solve this

The separated path is very desirable for safety/aesthetic reasons but there are limited sight triangles to most driveways and roads. I have heard of a snowmachine-car collision occuring on this path and I am surprised I have not heard of car-pedestrian crashes

There is no established location for entering/exiting the path at the parking lot. In summer this means traversing the puddles in the ditch and in winter this means hopping the snow berm into the road way

There have been many complaints by drivers who are concerned of hitting pedestrians on this road. This section is frequented by cyclists/rollerskiers. Wider shoulders in future design would help

This section from Farmers loop to Johansen needs repair. Full of cracks, heaves, rocks

Johansen Bike path is full of cracks and I have fallen several times as a result (rollerskiing)

The updated walk time for crossing university is too long. I often don't activate the pedestrian signal because I find it unnecessary to make cars wait for an extra 20 seconds after I have crossed.
