Unpaved path is unusable for bicycling in spring and after it rains and should be paved to match the rest of the path. If contractors/DOT can build a road for cars and trucks, they can build a path for bicycles and pedestrians.

Dangerous intersection. Traffic traveling westbound on Yankovich often fails to yield to traffic going straight or turning left.

The sidewalk placement is dangerous. Cars are less likely to see pedestrians and bicycles.

It's dangerous riding or running on McGrath through the twists and turns after the sidewalk ends. There's less than no shoulder at some points: I've almost been hit twice and verbally assaulted for running on just this section...

Farmers loop sidewalk gets covered in gravel, especially at the McGrath intersection

It would be great to put in a crosswalk at the bus stops here so people from can more safely reach transit and/or recreation opportunities at Creamers.

Would like to see the bike path continue up Chena pump and even around Chena ridge.... lots of people run/bike the loop and it would make bike commuting much safer if there was a path or wider shoulder.

This section under Peger often floods, would be great to have an over-Peger road access for bikes and pedestrians going to/from the Chena River trail system here.

Scary to bike on this section of Phillips Field due to the very small shoulder where there is a barrier.

Love the idea of closing little-used streets to car traffic and keeping them open for bikes and pedestrians, while beautifying downtown with greenery.

Seems silly to have so much downtown parking when the city has an agreement with the parking garage for free short-term parking. This would free up space for bike lanes and reduce risk of crashes near businesses.

Downtown bike rules need to be made more clear with something like painted symbols on the road and reminders to 'share the road' for drivers.

This intersection connects many neighborhoods with town and is quite awkqward for cyclists.

Many walkers and bikers cross this double lane road. Either to the nearby bus stop or t commute e.g. to UAF. This is a sketchy crossing because of a lot of traffic, particularly in the mornings. This crossing is even more scarry on morning winters, when it is dark and the roads are icy slippery.
I would recommend some bright lights highlighting pedestrians crossing.Liked 12 times -
Bike path frequented by four-wheelers. Dangerous to ride or bike due to speed conflicts, gravel covers riding surface, edges of asphalt degraded.

It would be great to repaved this path: the growth of roots has completely destroyed it by place.

Easier and safer connection to hoodoo area from the johanson bike path would be nice. Tunnel under the johanson but over railroad?

A bike lane or path from here to the intersection with steese would be nice to connect to the newer birch hill path

The path starting here needs repaving and could benefit from a few lights and some periodic trash cleanup.
