It's difficult to make a left turn in any direction here on a bike.
-
Turning left from Shute Rd. onto Cornell, the turn signal does not detect bikes.
-
It is difficult to turn left on a bike at this intersection. I need to turn left going west on Cornell to south on Brookwood. It is hard to get into the left turn lane. I'm not sure how to make a box turn with a right turn lane for cars and no bike lane, so the only option is to use the crosswalks.

NE 25th Ave bike lanes above Cornell are littered with debris from the local landscape supply company. Please consider increased street sweeping. Every other week would not be in excess. Bike commuters to Intel would greatly appreciate the change.
-
A series of white bumps were added separating the bike lane from car lanes all a long sections of Cornell. I call these "Suicide Bumps" for bikes. They are very dangerous as they are invisible to bike commuters after dark. They make sense in touring areas like the Oregon Coast were bike traffic is in daylight but make NO Sense in commuter areas with after dark bike traffic. Bike need the flexibility to avoid dangerous debri in the bike lanes. The Suicide Bumps are a really really bad idea.

Bike lanes on NE 25th AVE, North of Cornell, are full of debris from the local landscape supply company. Bike Commuters to Intel would GREATLY appreciate increased street sweeping in this area. Consider every other week street sweeping
-
At night a single car on River Road can't get through this intersection without the light turning yellow. This is in part because vehicles must wait far back behind the tracks.

Major traffic backup go blocks down 25th, including blocking the entrance to the strip mall
-
Need a way to get to New Seasons parking lot from EB Cornell without having to go down Orenco Station Pkwy
-
People driving westbound on Cornell make illegal U-turns here without realizing there is a right turn signal for northbound traffic on Amberglen Pkwy during the westbound left turn signal. I've seen many near misses because of the illegal u-turns.
-
I have been very reluctant to recommend this course of action but I think it's finally time for a traffic light at the intersection of 15th and Jones Farm. During the morning and evening rush, this intersection is just plain dangerous for left-turners and pedestrians and bicyclists.
-
For the love of all that is holy, can we EVER drive more than one stoplight at a time? No wonder TV and Farmington and Cornell are nightmares all the time. You literally cannot drive through a green light. Every single light is timed such that you stop at each and every single light. This is freaking lunacy. I'm not saying I need to never get a red, but for god sakes man, can I at least drive through 1 green light?
-
During non-peak times, if one car on EB Jacobson wants to turn right onto SB Corn Pass Rd, the traffic turns red on Corn Pass (where the majority of the traffic is). But by the time the light turns red, the car had already turned right on a red. Can their green light be delayed a few seconds and then only turn green if they don't have the opportunity to turn right on a red?
-
At 5611 Elam Young the sidewalk discontinues for about 30 - 40 feet and you have to either walk on the street, which is also in bad condition, or down a sometimes muddy path to continue to the sidewalk. There is a tree and large mailbox.
-
Need more effective means of slowing traffic through this and other neighborhoods. Increased traffic brings increased traffic cutting through our neighborhoods at ridiculous and unsafe speeds.
-
When approaching the intersection of E Main and Cornelius Pass Road, there are several near misses from people pulling out on Shaleen St. traveling either north or south. Due to the speed and curvature of CPR, you cannot clearly see this cross traffic until you are right upon them.
-
Waiting for the light to turn when coming off of Borwick onto E. Main is a never ending test of patience. During rush hours the traffic builds up and up, for the never-ending light to turn. Good grief, what happened to synchronized traffic light management, that would effectively move traffic around this city. Oh wait, this is Oregon, that'd be too logical to implement! How silly of me...
-
Several cars avoid the intersection at E Main and SE Cornelius Pass Road, by turning south onto SE Borwick, then south on SE 73rd Ave, over to SE 74th Ave, then down to SE Lois. This happens at all times during the day, evening and night hours and hey literally fly down these neighborhood roads at excessive speeds without concern for children or slower moving cars of the people who live in this neighborhood. Speed bumps (several of them) or some other sort of traffic control devices need to be installed to stop this and slow the vehicles down!
-
Connecting Century Blvd from E Main St. to SE Borwick would be a HUGE mistake, not to mention creating a dangerous driving, walking and cycling problem within the surrounding neighborhoods. Not only are these inner neighborhood streets not adequate to handle increased traffic, the increase in noise and speeding alone would be severe. There are plenty of other connecting routes on either side of Century to accommodate the need.
-
There needs to be a sidewalk and large bike lane on both sides of Century Rd. The sidewalk is not continuous and it's very dangerous.

Need a crosswalk and signal at Oelrich and Century by Orenco Presbyterian Church. Dangerous to cross here, especially with the school and garden and young kids crossing the roag

Allowing cars to park on both the north and south sides of SE Lois St. is a HUGE hazzard, from SE Cornelius Pass Road into the neighborhood on down to SE Century Blvd. This becomes even more of a problem during hosted sporting events on the RA Brown Middle schoolground, located north of the School. Not only are there no lines painted down the middle of SE Lois, but there are no bicycle lanes designated either. I suggest you consider allowing parking on the south side only and use angled parking spots to allow for 2 vehicles to park where only 1 can park now with parallel parking. I believe this would accommodate more parked cars and keep the street safer for drives, pedestrians and cyclists. It would also be nice to see signs put in that direct additional parking to the other lots on the south side of the school when parking on Lois is full, to reduce the amount of additional parking in the neighborhoods north on SE 74th.

Correcting my comment on getting from Grant to Garibaldi. I turn left on 2nd, right on Jefferson, right on 1st and left on Garibaldi.

Although local residents may not like it, I prefer to get from Grant to Garibaldi by turning right on 2nd Ave, right on Jefferson, right on 1st and left on Garibaldi. This avoids the backup trying to turn left from Grant to 1st.
