Improve Orchard - Sidewalks, bike lanes and trees. ROAD DIET!
-
Sidewalk all the way from Americana to Curtis.
-
NO road diet.
-
Bike path sidewalk, Rosehill to bike path entrance on Garden.
-
Connectivity from Cresent Rim to downtown could be improved... Also, the corner from 9th/Capitol to Cresent Rim is blind and cars go over 20mph. Can we improve the congestion/speed problems in this area?
-
Sidewalk on south side of Emerald between Garden and Roosevelt.
-
Northbound, gravel spills out into the road covering bike lane. Traffic is coming off the hill usually speeding doing 40-45 mph.
-
Please put sidewalks on the north side of Emerald from Latah to existing sidewalks continuing to Orchard Street.
-
Alpine Street (North side) from Orchard to the Depot would be very nice with sidewalks and bike lanes.
-
Pond Street from Albion to Franklin has no sidewalks. A lot of people use this road to walk or bike to the Fred Meyer on Orchard.
-
Bike Lane on Shsoshone to Crescent Rim to get downtown

Traffic used to be slower on Garden and Irving streets before top coating ruined the speed bumps. I have lived here for more than 20 years and have NEVER seen a problem with walking or biking, however, when sidewalks were put in between Orchard and N. Garden on Irving the speed of traffic increased and bikers use the sidewalk making walking on them dangerous. Cyclist seem to think they do not have to follow any rules so I have seen accidents at the N.Garden and Irving intersection due to stupid cyclist, not drivers. You post road rules for drivers perhaps it would do some good to post some rule signs for cyclists. Oh Yes and put you money into sidewalks and bike lanes on Emerald where they are sorely needed.

The existing Bike Lanes on Kootenai between Vista & Federal are an extreme example of how the chip seal, when last applied, density of chips flow were reduced along shoulder / bike lane area creating an extremely rough surface. Thus a very bumpy ride and laceration hazard to cyclists unfortunate enough to fall on this surface.

Bike Lanes on Overland between Orchard & Federal would make this area much less dangerous for cyclists.

There have already been accidents involving children and vehicles on Alpine. One last year where a little boy was dragged by a car. The speed limit is 20mph, but people drive up to 45 and 50. Many people bike, jog, walk, and walk their dogs down my street. There should be sidewalks and a bike lane and speed bumps. The speed bumps between Latah and Roosevelt were a good start, but you need them on the stretch between Roosevelt and Garden and Garden and Orchard. Further a cross walk on Orchard to the Fred Meyer would probably save someones life.

There needs to be a bike lane alone Country Club Drive & onto Roosevelt. My kids go to South Jr high & this is a very dangerous route. People take the corner too fast on Country Club, often c the sun glaring in their eyes. Roosevelt has heavy traffic & space for bike lanes on both sides if the shoulders were paved.
-
We need a sidewalk and bike lane on the north side of the road.
-
Need a side walk infront of Hillcrest Country Club.
-
No paved access to greenbelt from Starview Dr. even though it is only a few feet away.
-
Gap in bike lane on Warm Spring Ave.and very narrow road with parked car on road.

I commute by bike, foot, bus, and personal vehicle from Kootenai to downtown. Vista/Capitol is the most direct route for me. When I bike, I reluctantly ride on the sidewalk because it is completely unsafe on the street. I understand the conflict between bikes, pedestrians, and vehicle drivers because I occupy all three roles. None of the three categories will be happy as long as our "transportation system and design" continues as it has. It is unsafe for all. We need dedicated bike paths WITH CONCRETE CURBING between bikes and vehicles on ALL of the main thoroughfares -- Vista, Capitol, Overland, Latah, Orchard, Franklin, Emerald so that bicyclists are not forced into vehicle lanes or endangering pedestrians on sidewalks.

Morris Hill Road is continually busy with walkers, runners, bicyclists, families taking their dogs to the dog park and kids. Many kids walk to school (corner of Roosevelt and Morris Hill) without any sidewalks and the street is busy with traffic and parents taking thier children to school. Sidewalks would be a great addition.
