Would be a dream to have a bridge over the canal so folks on the other side of curtis can walk thru neighborhoods to access Borah park rather than walk near busy Curtis Rd.
-
We walk on both sides of phillipi reguarly with our baby. Would like a sidewalk on both sides to avoid have to walk on the shoulder, sometimes folks drive rather fast down this street.
-
Would love a sidewalk on the right hand side of the street when headed southbound. It is difficult for us to get from our home on Beach St. to Borah Highschool safely.

Need sidewalks along here for safe school zones. Kids walk along here for elementary, middle, and high school access

As I stand at my kitchen sink looking out the window at bikers on McMullen, I think, "How unfortunate for them". No doubt they will end up with goat heads in their bike tires! No more biking for them until they repair their tires. Installing sidewalks will help alleviate this small but important problem. It is amazing how much this thoroughfare is used by bikers, walkers, runners, pet owners, etc. from early in the morning to late in the evening. Sidewalks on at least one side of the road would make this route safe and attractive.

The lack of sidewalk on Ashland presents a danger to chuildren trying to walk to Grace Jordan Elementary School. This should be a very high priority for the added funds from the car registration fees. The safety of our children should come first!

I live at 1408 S empire way & see a lot of kids use our street heading to the elementary school. I also routinely walk with family & dogs from my house to the canal & we're always dodging traffic in some way. I have always wanted sidewalks on our street even if only one side since a lot of people walk here but are always in danger of those not obeying the 20mph speed limit, or a distracted driver. Empire is one of the wider streets with no speed bumps. A sidewalk system tied into Rand between Robertson & Randolph (Drive), then down Curtis (below Randolph) on one side with curb/barriers to keep traffic from crossing the white line. I usually bike (or rollerblade) from my house to downtown area (or greenbelt off Garden ave) using Curtis to W. Emerald but traffic is rather scary in some narrow sections (on Emerald) so sidewalk is preferred path for me (on bike or rollerblades) where it is available.

Need sidewalks curbs and gutters between federal way and Annette on malad street. Also need sidewalks on the east side of Virginia ave between malad and victory. A speed bump on virginia between malad and canal would improve safety for pedestrians since no sidewalks. This street has become a major route between federal way and vista as people race home during the commute. Also a street lamp on this stretch would help safety for evening and night commutes for pedestrians and bicycle commuters. A way to cross federal way to access the rim grew belt would also be helpful between overland and findley ave.

The new sidewalks are a great addition here. Thank you.
-
Y'all did a bang up job on the new bridge for the canal here. Nice sidewalk improvements too.
-
Too many planes on this route. It is difficult to share the road.
-
This is a great bike route, thank you for the speed bumps.
-
Great job here, this path is awesome.
-
This area is rough for all human powered users. It would be cool to try to push for this area to turn into what 27th street will hopefully be. I guess I'll need to talk the business owners into the idea of a hospitable street for all users and the effect it will have on business.
-
Wayfinding and a bicycle connection would be great here if it doesn't exist already. This would be useful for the school west of here as well.
-
Is there a way to get a shared lane marking in this stretch. The bike lane on the west end of this stretch is great!
-
Connectivity here would be awesome. It kind of shoots you out into an inhospitable area. Maybe connect it somehow to Irving or something? Maybe this is the cities jurisdiction though?
-
Thank you for the speed bumps on this stretch, can we get them further to the east and west too? Larger this time perhaps...
-
Is there a way to get a west side sidewalk without moving gravestones? I see school age kids walk in the bike lane often. I am happy to share the bike lane...I'm just throwing that out there.
-
This bridge sends a clear message that we don't want people walking and biking. Sidewalks and a bike lane that isn't a gutter for debris would be excellent. Since this is a bridge I understand if this will be too costly.
-
This is a great route to downtown from the bench. It would be great to invest in way finding and shared lane markings to the greenbelt.
-
This could be a great place for a sidewalk. There is a University at the bottom of Protest Hill and many people ride and walk this corridor to get there. The residents park directly in the bike lane as well...I am not sure anything can be done about this.
-
Hawk signal please?...a crosswalk?, anything really. There is a grocery store on the other side of this street. I understand people could go to Rosehill to cross but we all know they prefer to ride/run dangerously between 35mph traffic.
-
This would be a great spot to try a bike blvd. (shared lane markings)
the 20mph speed limit is thoughtful but never enforced The lane widths have to be 14ft a piece. -
Bike lanes here please. I ride on the right 1/3 of the lane in the right lane and I have been harassed aplenty.
