Please widen Brookwood to 2 lanes. I fear this area will become more congested once the South Hillsboro development is completed and residents are looking for an alternative to Corn Pass.

Every night between 5:30-6:00 pm you can find my car stopped here in the southbound lane waiting to go straight through the Brookwood/Cornell lights. Some evenings I have waited up to 20 minutes to clear this intersection, just to go straight thru.
I have watched cars drive the full length of the right lane [Turn Only Lane] only to cut over to the left southbound lane at the last minute. Sometimes blocking traffic behind them with their blinker on. I know some people do this intentionally to cut the line, but I also believe a lot are caught of guard. Google Maps, and Uber/Lyft drivers do not warn that the driver needs to be in the left lane to continue southbound. Could you post a second sign "Right Lane Must Turn Right" further back from the intersection. The current one is posted where traffic is already lined up bumper to bumper, leaving them no choice but to cut in.
Thank you!

The westbound left turn lane is too short for the amount of traffic. Every time I approach is light in the evenings there is left turn traffic backed up into the thru-traffic lane.

Many cars do not stop at this 4-way stop intersection (from a "rolling stop" to full-speed blowing through). It's a residential neighborhood, and drivers coming in and out of New Seasons without following the posted stop signs are dangerous to residents -- people with dogs, kids, families, etc.

If I'm on 76th, trying to take a left onto Quatama to head west, visibility is inadequate due to cars/trucks parked on the south side of Quatama.
-
If I am making a left from this street onto Lois, to head east on Lois, there are consistently tall shrubs which greatly reduce visibility. I would like those shrubs to be torn out or consistently cut short to aide in safety. This may only affect traditional cars as drivers of SUVs or trucks would have greater visibility.

We need more sidewalks on Frewing Road to keep kids off the street. Also something to slow speeding drivers down. Not enough sidewalks plus speeding drivers equals to someone getting hit by a car.

This is a big traffic pinch point where Evergreen narrows to one lane going west between 15th and NW Jackson School. Rush hour traffic backs up through the lights and side streets. Just keeping the second lane on the north side of the street from 15th to NW Jackson School would significantly improve the issue. Left lane would continue on to carry commuters to neighborhoods to the west as it currently does, but keeping the right or north most lane till NW Jackson Scool as a dedicated right turn lane would effectively separate the commuter traffic, relieving the constraint.

Kids traveling from the Camp Ireland neighborhoods to Patterson, Evergreen and Glencoe cross Glencoe all along this street because there is no defined crosswalk. My son and two friends were crossing to Evergreen this year and some polite drivers stopped for them because its not safe with traffic at 40+ mph, but were themselves rear ended by two vehicles pushing the first car closer to the kids. Evergreen and Glencoe pedestrian crossing is screwy. Glencoe doesnt have sidewalks or bike paths on the west side. Please either put in full sidewalks/bike path on the west side, or put in a crosswalk with flashing lights at Camp Ireland St before the next accident is a car hiiting one of our children!

Sidewalks on Imlay and Golden road. Dangerous to walk
-
There are no curbs on this public square. As the parent of young kids, I will say that they do not recognize the difference between public square & road. I've seen many kids, including my own after repeat instruction, step onto the roadway because they don't see a curb.
-
Traffic light to cross largely ignored by drivers here. It makes it hard for pedestrians to cross both at this point and also when trying to cross on SE 9th Ave.
-
Need a light, it is almost impossible to turn left on Cornell
-
Weird lane layout.. Why can't we have left lane to be left turn only, middle lane to go straight and turn left and the right lane go straight like any other intersection does? I always worry that the car that is in the left only lane will not shift to the left as their lane does prior to the left turn and will run into my car as I shift left in my middle lane
-
Left turn from Witch Hazel to River Road is dangerous. We need the lights there
-
Which direction stop in the intersections is very confusing, they seem to switch, but not consistently (number vs names)-- unsafe for bikers, walkers, and drivers
-
Visibility is difficult coming out of Lincoln onto Cornell (hard to see oncoming cars both north and south bound)
-
There are no sidewalks along NE Brogden St even though this neighborhood is frequently walked and also has a moderate level of vehicular traffic.
-
I grew up right next to this intersection, and there were often car accidents here. And despite the low speed limits, they were often severe. Once, a car completely flipped over. Once, a car almost drove into our neighbor's living room! I believe the problem comes from the fact that this is one of the only intersections along this section of Grant that is NOT a 4-way stop. Cars on 6th, trying to cross Grant, often assume the cross traffic will stop, but they don't. I think there could be a simple solution to this problem: either make it a four way stop, or simply put up a sign on each side of 6th reminding drivers that cross traffic does NOT stop. (I have seen these signs else where). I think this could prevent a lot of future problems!

Please repaint the divider and put some lights in the area . During the night I see plenty of people turning left from TV hwy on Brookwod on the wrong way of the street.

I conducted a count of cars driving throught the intersection of 65th and Rosebay from 7 to 8 AM to Traffic Circle and on to Intel Parking Garage. The result was 132, which projected out is hundreds per day. These cars are clearly trying to circumvent traffic lights and backup on Butler in the morning and ignoring the city signage that states "No Thru Traffic". Many close calls with other cars and foot traffic is occuring daily and both streets border Rosebay Park with chiildren playing throughout the day. Preventative acition is required now versus after a tragic accident occurs.

TSP should have a policy of never having bike lanes next to on-street parking. The parking lane would have to be 14 feet wide to accommodate wide vehicles, their opened doors, and the possibility that they are parked as far as 18" (legal maximum) from the curb. Add five feet for a bike lane, and the combined parking and bike lane take 19 feet. That doesn't even allow for an extra distance that might be called a flinch zone or a startle zone. Bicyclists should ride far enough from parked cars so as not to be doored, nor to be startled into suddenly swerving into the next lane. The wide space required for that could be mistaken for a useable lane. Less space than that puts Hillsboro in the untenable position of requiring, or at least encouraging bicyclists to operate dangerously.
-
The TSP should have a policy of never putting bike lanes on one way streets. Bicyclists should be free to use either lane, depending on their destinations. Having two all-purpose lanes allows motorists to pass, regardless of which lane a bicyclist is occupying.
-
Re-stripe 185th to remove bike lane, and simply have a very wide lane for the transition of having the bike lane move leftward one lane. Also the TSP should have a policy of never having bike lanes cross other lanes.
