Complete bike lane striping on Bonita Rd overpass/bridge across I-5. ODOT owns this bridge and both LO and Tigard have bike lanes leading up to the bridge.

Sidewalk Facility Gap
All the school kids living on SW West Point Ave, Valley View Court and Linden Road, that take the public bus to school, access Canyon Road by walking down the 20 ft (wide with no sidewalks) Linden Road. Additionally, when they are going to school (inbound) they must cross Canyon Road (two lanes in each direction) on a curve with no signage to drivers that people may be crossing the road to access the bus stop. Suggest that a pedestrian activated flashing light/crosswalk be installed.

Location of Trimet bus stop used by students. Small shoulder and no sidewalk makes this unsafe due to cars traveling at 40-60 MPH and limited visibility

Sidewalk Meets Standard
I am surprised to see this section of sidewalk along 99E labeled as "meets standard." Peds and bikes traveling in both directions must share a skinny sidewalk directly adjacent to speeding cars and freight to connect from Main Street to the Springwater Trail. If this meets standard, we need to raise our standards!

There should be stairs and/or path connecting bikes and peds from the west side (southbound vehicle travel lane) of 99E up to the Springwater Trail.

ODOT and the federal government needs to fix this horrible intersection. Oleson road needs to be moved to the east, but that new intersection doesn't need more than 3 car lanes on Oleson. It doesn't need five highway lanes. Oleson isn't a blvd, but rather a modern, livable road. The new sidewalks for the $40,000,000 Oleson intersection need to be wide. Scholls Ferry needs a modern overhaul from SW Hall Blvd to Highway 26 with cycle tracks and street trees.

Improve the (under) crossing of I-5 and 99W at 26th. This is an opportunity to cross these 2 obstacles between a neighborhood and a commercial area, and there are precious few of these available.

The crossings over 99W in the Sherwood area are not safe. We need to cut out the rounded corners that allow cars to speed through turns. Also, there should be no legal right turns on red in city areas.

Direct pedestrian access to Clackamette Park should be provided in any future infrastructure projects here. Stairs down to Clackamette Drive, for example, could be installed.

ODOT's recent work on sidewalks has helped in this area, continued effort should be made to complete fill in these gaps.

There is a pedestrian refuge here that should be retrofitted and enhanced with some kind of beacon.

Crossing need: there is only one marked crosswalk and pedestrian signal across 82nd at this location. It should be on both sites.

PLEASE put an extra wide sidewalk here with clear distinction from off street parking entrances. Cars park in pedestrian right of way, its slippery gravel and lacking a clear distinction of road. Heavily walked area by kids and seniors. Love PCC's sidewalk across the street. Please copy at all corners.

Sidewalks are either nonexistent or curb-tight and narrow along nearly all of 82nd through the Clackamas mall/retail area. (Does a curb-tight sidewalk along a 35-45mph arterial through a Regional Center meet ODOT "standard"? Might want to rethink the standard.) Also -- why does 82nd need to feel like a freeway when there's an ACTUAL freeway half a mile to the east?

Crosswalk here please so can get to food and bus stop. Packs of kids under 15 play chicken with cars trying to cross for hours every day because there is not other way to get across.

Please put crosswalk at Clay instead of Hawthorne. S Traffic can't see you due to slight hill and no stop lights for a great distance means high speed. Nearly hit every 3rd time crossing. White lines removed last year made it a death trap that I can't cross at dusk with family. Wider sidewalk and island might help slow things too. Please have van store take down illegal fence. no setback, tall, too narrow to walk.

There is no complete WB route/path with direct access. EB has several options, but several lane/shoulder widths are too narrow

There needs to be a pedestrian bridge over SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway where it meets SW 99th Ave. The 99th corridor connects McMillan Park to A.M. Kennedy Park. THPRD spent over $1,000,000 in 2013 to clean up and chop down Doug-fir trees (that should have been kept).

The cars exiting I5 and turning right onto Terwilliger do not look to the right when they turn right. A lot of times they only look to the left toward on coming cars. I've personally been cut off many times this way. ODOT has looked into this before and concluded I was right. ODOT told me to jump up and down like a clown to get the drivers attention.

The cars turning right off of Barbur on to SW 19th don't have to stop due to that odd exit ramp off Barbur. This is very dangerous for people.

Shared Use Path
Crossing to the north from this location with the walk sign can be extremely hazardous for pedestrians. The hazard is from vehicles coming fast out of the off-ramp with a green light and turning right onto Glisan at the same time that pedestrians have the WALK signal. Drivers tend to not notice that pedestrians have the green. Please install some sort of "PEDESTRIANS PRESENT" warning signal for vehicles and prioritize the signals for pedestrians. This is an important crossing for bikers and pedestrians using the multi-use path and should be given high priority.

Sidewalk Meets Standard
Very few people ever need to use the crossing on the west side of this intersection (maybe a few homeless people going from one off-ramp to the other). This crossing could be closed because crossing to the north from this location with the walk sign can be extremely hazardous for pedestrians. The hazard is from vehicles coming fast out of the off-ramp with a green light and turning left onto Glisan at the same time that pedestrians have the WALK signal. Drivers tend to not notice that pedestrians have the green - especially here because it is so rare that the crossing is used.

There needs to be a connection from NE Tillamook St. Greenway to the I-205 Trail and Gateway Green.

Crossing to the south from this location with the walk sign can be extremely hazardous for pedestrians. The hazard is from vehicles coming fast out of the off-ramp with a green light and turning right-ward at the same time that pedestrians have the WALK signal. Drivers tend to not notice that pedestrians have the green. Please install some sort of "PEDESTRIANS PRESENT" warning signal for vehicles and prioritize the signals for pedestrians. Because this is a major route for bikes and pedestrians, this is particularly important.

Sidewalks interrupted by telephone poles on Bridge Avenue leave a substandard facility for walking next to highway speeds.
