Comments for “University of Alaska Fairbanks Bicyclist Safety Proposal”
-
Ditto other comments, also include a pedestrian path for runners.
-
Yukon Drive is way too narrow for sidewalks and bikes. While long term plans may be to reduce vehicular use on Yukon Drive and sense is, if it's wider, cars will go faster, the current situation is kind of scary for pedestrians, cars, and bikes alike.
-
Again, a 3-way intersection with only 2 stop signs which confuses everyone. Cars on Tanana Dr. won't yield to bikers coming from Yukon Drive (which doesn't have a stop sign). Please add a stop sign and just make it easier to predict cyclists and motorists actions.
-
Because the shrubs along the road hang so low and so close to the pavement, there is virtually no visibility around this corner. Compounding the problem is the two or three cars that are constantly parked on the shoulder to look at the reindeer.
-
Ditto the other comments; just trying to emphasize how hazardous this spot is.
-
1) sometimes difficult sharing Tanana road when bicycling and cars going each way. path can a little narrow, especially when snowy.
2) it would be nice to have a more direct bike/walk path towards IARC. -
People don't tend to look for bicyclists in this roundabout. It'd be nice if there were large neon reflective signs reminding people to look for pedestrians. Some people end up driving on the curbs/sidewalks where bikes should be. Especially very large trucks.
-
We need a bike path along this road that is safe and separate from the road.
-
Yukon Drive doesn't have bike lanes and the sidewalks are congested. In the winter compacted snow and ice build up on the narrow shoulders forcing you further out into traffic.
-
Drivers turning right from Taku barely notice there is a bike path. A bike lane would be a better way for drivers to watch for the oncoming bike and car traffic at this intersection. Or even somekind of sign or markings on road alerting drivers to the path that crosses Taku before the intersection.

Bike lanes here would be so nice - not a clear place for bikes to go and a lot of traffic
-
Agree - this whole intersection is bad - if you are riding on the sidewalk on Alumni Drive into campus there is no way to get across the intersection without crossing to the left side of the road
-
There is hardly a shoulder here and a lot of traffic in the mornings - a paved bike path or bike lane along tanana drive would be awesome.
-
Drivers frequently pull out of Yukon Dr. against the stop sign when bike and auto traffic is on Koyukuk. This is worsened by gravel on the road, which is especially dangerous for 2-wheeled vehicles. Better enforcement of the stop sign and more frequent sweeping seem like rational responses.
-
The intersection of Tanana Loop and Alumni Dr. is unsafe for any vehicle, let alone a bike. Replace with a roundabout.
-
There is essentially no shoulder from about here on up Tanana Loop W. Bicyclists go fairly slowly up this hill, increasing the likelihood of vehicles passing both ways resulting in severe crowding. A substantially wider shoulder would really enhance safety.
-
Cars are oblivious to bikes in the Tanana Loop round-about. Signs (ex - watch for bikes & pedestrians) or possibly a bike lane would greatly improve safety.
-
The shoulder here disappears as you are riding eastbound. As a bike rider and a driver, this is very frustrating (and dangerous).
-
This is a three way intersection with only two stop signs. Both drivers and riders are confused by the inconsistency. Please install a stop sign for traffic traveling West on N Tanana Dr
