Comments for “Transportation System Plan Update”

need to consider not allowing left turns EB cornell between main street and arrington during rush hour (3pm-6pm) as too often people sit there a long time waiting for enough space between cars to turn thus creating back up behind then with people in left lane having to jump over to the right lane at last minute.
-
I disagree with the other comment saying we need to slow it down. It used to be 50mph along here. It is straight, there are no residential or business driveways (except 1 or 2) and it is wide with turn lanes and good visibility. Just as Brookwood is 55mph between Hwy 26 and Evergreen, this stretch needs to go back up again to either 50 or 55 between NE 25th and Brookwood.

Difficult to turn left from Lincoln onto Cornell during busy traffic times. Time for a light?
-
Poorly timed lights turning north from Cornell onto Brookwood. Only 3 or 4 cars get thru many afternoons around 4 pm.
Also Costco left turn lane gets backed up clear back to Brookwood/Cornell intersection. -
Left turn yellow flashing lights should be stopped during rush hour times on these very busy intersections. Too many people taking risks.
-
Thanks for the signs on NW Freeman and Main prohibiting cars from parking right at the intersection. However, the street is still one lane only near the intersection. Cars are beginning to do the same thing on Ebberts and Main. This street needs one side only parking.

Need sidewalks. Kids walking on street.
-
Need sidewalks. High school kids walking to school in the morning with sun glare very difficult to see them. Just in general a very dangerous intersection for all pedestrians. Traffic over the year has doubled on Imlay and Drake due to the new school and people cutting through to Brookwood on Drake.
-
The entrance to the bike path that parallels Brookwood north of Cornell is tricky to navigate as cars turning from west-bound Cornell to north-bound Brookwood are sometimes stopped in front of the curb drop.
-
why do the bike lanes disappear here and then reappear later???
-
MUP transitions into a regular sidewalk for the residential area here and is inconvenient for runners, and cyclists who then have to either ride on the sidewalk, or hop off and merge with 45 mph traffic.

this intersection needs a better crossing for pedestrians, cars, and cyclists. It's so hard as a motorist to get to Ace Hardware. It's awkward with all the plastic poles. Time for an upgrade.

This goes for all major intersections, not just Cornell and Brookwood: Flashing yellow turn lights during peak traffic hours (like all day) are dangerous. A motorcycle rider was killed at this intersection, and some friends were nearly killed on TV Hwy and I think Cornelius Pass, one of the major lights. They were driving through their green when a van turned on the yellow right in front of them. If they had been in their car instead of their truck, we would have lost them both. Too many times I have to quickly brake on MY green because someone is turning on the flashing yellow. Flashing yellows are great for non-peak hours, like night. But in the day, too many drivers don't understand that a flashing yellow is not a green light. I'm also tired of jerks honking at me because I don't scoot into the middle of the intersection when I'm faced with a flashing yellow turn signal and massive traffic coming at me on their green. It's dangerous, stupid, and illegal to do. I will not risk my life and the life of others just to take a stupid "free" turn. If I can safely turn, great, but like today, when I saw a woman turning off Cornell on he flashing yellow to a side street and almost run over a pedestrian who was legally crossing in the crosswalk on his walk light, it just proves once again that there are too many people who don't get the concept.

Bentley needs a sidewalk. There are many people that walk along this street, which connects Brookwood to 32nd, including children walking to school. Some areas are quite dangerous because there's a ditch next to the road which gives pedestrians no where to go if there's an emergency.
-
Cars travel above the speed limit (sometimes quite fast) along Alder, Birch, Chestnut, and Dogwood and rarely stop or even slow down for pedestrians at intersections.
-
This stretch NEEDS speed bumps and sidewalks! It’s a school zone and too many kids walking in the street.
-
Great new infrastructure for bikes but doesn't connect well
-
Turning left from SE Johnson St onto Cornelius Pass Rd is nearly impossible here during busy traffic times.
-
speed limit is too fast here. dangerous for passing cyclists.
-
we need wider bike lanes here, it seems as if they get pinched off before reaching Harewood, which is scary because cars like to go fast on this straightaway.
-
Cars here need to learn how to slow down. I frequently drive the 45 speed limit just to see how many people pass me, which is virtually everyone. This is not HWY 26, nor a freeway. I followed someone at 60mph once. Because it is a straightaway cars go too fast. We need more stop lights unfortunately, or more patrols to ticket speeders. This road carries a lot of cyclists and triathletes, as well as bicycle clubs. Let's keep it lower speed and safer!
-
There are 4 lanes here at the intersection. One turns right only, One goes straight onto Evergreen westbound only, and 2 go to 185th Southbound only.
This is the most ridiculous intersection in the city. The 2nd lane headed to 185th Southbound should also be able to go straight onto Evergreen WB as well.
It is also ridiculous because when coming from NE Town Center intersection, the merging is confusing and seems like it should allow naturally to just go straight, but the way it is now, you have to try to merge in already backed up traffic.
-
This loop doesn't detect bicycles headed to Starbucks or the bank!
-
If you don't put bike lanes on 25th then you need to put them on 15th, and make it safer for cyclists to turn into Intel. This road is like a freeway at rush hour!
-
This section needs a better bicycle connection (lanes) from Main St to Glencoe.
