Comments for “Transportation System Plan Update”

speeding traffic uses this section of the neighborhood as a thruway. There is a history of a speeding car turning the corner on 70th and SE Villa St and running up onto the property on the upper corner and ramming into a tree on the property. If the tree wasn't there, the car probably would have run into the house. Frightening, especially in icy and rainy weather. We need stop signs on 70th and SE Villa St. and Blaine and 70th Avenue to protect lives and houses.

Traffic really stacks ups at this intersection during rush hours, so a left turn signal at Wilkins and John Olsen for west bound traffic turning left onto John Olsen would be helpful.
-
Speed limit on Quatama is 40mph which is too high for the amount of residential properties there now. Should be reset to 35mph
-
Sometimes cars park in front of the pedestrian cutouts on the west side of Rosebay here. Is there any way to enforce the pedestrian walkway?
-
At this intersection, northbound traffic that doesn't turn at the stop sign have right of way over southbound traffic that is turning left (eastbound) out of the left turn lane, whoever arrived at the stop sign first. There is no "common courtesy" rule here as there is with four-way stops, as I remember it from the driver's manual. Nonetheless south-bound traffic in the left turn lane consistently treat it as first-come first-served and cross in front of oncoming traffic -- like a four-way stop which it isn't. This causes a dangerous situation. I suggest a sign facing south-coming traffic: "Left turn, yield right of way to oncoming traffic."

There should be a pedestrian cutout in the parking strip on the north side of Rosebay here. There's a cutout on the south side, and a path goes through to Copper Beech on the north side, but without a coordinating cutout, cars (one large blue SUV in particular) parks right in the path. Anyone wanting to cross and take the sidewalk through has to pick their way around the parked cars.

The Northbound light at the MAX crossing is absurd. For it to turn red when the Cherry Dr Light is red is redundant. I understand the point is to keep people from stopping on tracks, but I can't see how it any different than a track without a preceding light. As a driver this should be simple, do not stop on the tracks. Turning left from Alder St it is impossible to know if the Southbound traffic on Century has a red making it difficult to judge turning. The pedestrian crossing is also redundant, they can cross at Cherry. If you want to service the pedestrians and eliminate these problems let me suggest moving the MAX light to Alder St or just eliminate it.

There is a Railroad Crossing sign here that is often confused as a stop sign for people stopped at stop sign on Orenco Gardens Dr. I've seen lots of people pull out in front of cars driving down Elam Young because they think there's a stop sign for them.
-
Please widen road to 4 lanes like the rest of Cornelius Pass. Causes major congestion, especially at Ladd Acres.
-
Road section needs maintenance/re-pavement, there lots of potholes
-
Visibility to oncoming traffic from the left turn lane is very poor and I worry about an accident here.
-
Bicycle lane is absent in this portion of 25th Ave. this a heavily used bike route to and from Intel Jones Farm Campus.
-
The light for the MAX train is not logical - either both directions should be stopped or neither, not one at a time. Thanks!
-
Speed limit of 45 seems WAY too high for this stretch of road with high pedestrian use. Should be reevaluated.
-
What is with people trying to make that last flashing yellow light left turn? You should not even enter the intersection without knowing you will be able to exit it safely. Increased police supervision will generate nice revenue.
-
We need a crosswalk and traffic light at this corner and have for years. People have almost been hit at this location. There is a bus stop here, a preschool at the church, and a community garden. It is too far for people from the neighborhoods to walk down to the corner at Baseline or up to the Max in order to cross the street safely. A crosswalk is long overdue, and at this point a traffic light is specifically needed.
-
It would be nice to extend the walking paths from Noble Woods park along the creek with an access point further West.
-
Pedestrians currently use the very narrow shoulder. Sidewalks are needed.
-
please install speed bumps. thanks!
-
there are too many speeding cars here at rush hour with loud (illegal, aftermarket) mufflers. There needs to be more police enforcement here for speeding and loud, obnoxious mufflers that weigh 80-100 decibels on my decibel reader. (illegal in the state and county) Really diminishes the quality of living here. Please install speed bumps as well. Thank you
-
Pavement needs fully redone. It can't be patched any further. Candidate for worst paved street in town.
-
Agree this intersection needs work. The middle lane backs up with cars turning left/ going straight, while cars try to squeeze through to go right.
There have been multiple times I have been the last car in the middle lane during a red light and have been nearly hit by a car trying to go right.
Very scary.
-
There needs to be a left turn arrow from southbound 1st Ave turning left onto eastbound Oak St.
It is impossible to make this turn. The only way is cut through the Grocery Outlet parking lot, or to creep into the intersection and wait for the light to turn red (hoping no one will run the light) and then turn.
-
The posted speed limit on Brookwood between Cornell and Evergreen is 45. After an infuriating wait to get through the Cornell/Brookwood intersection this section is a speedway with commuters driving upwards of 60 mph along this stretch, tailgating and weaving between the fast and slow lanes because the person driving 50 in the fast lane is not fast enough for them.
Something needs to be done to mitigate the speeding.
-
I will never ride a bike in the bike lanes on either the northbound or southbound sides of Brookwood between Baseline and Cornell. When not fully congested people drive well over 55 mph on this section of road (when it is fully backed up bumper to bumper). I have also seen cars weave into the bike lanes on multiple occasions.
