Comments for “Transportation System Plan Update”

1st Ave needs better bike lanes N and S bound as we are squished between a tiny line, garbage cans and traffic. Would make a great connection to Glencoe then to Evergreen to get to the schools and work.
-
slow this area DOWN! There are too many people racing up and down this street! It is in front of a park with runners, and pets. Also, too many Cal-Portland trucks makes for too much noise!! Please re-route trucks onto CP or Cornell, PLEASE!! Local Deliveries only here!
-
cyclists are constantly getting pinched off here from traffic trying to merge onto 26 westbound. Would be nice to have an island (not green paint) or something that obstructs people moving up from CA from merging into bike lanes. It has improved over the last couple of years, but is still pretty cramped.
-
Cars here go way too fast because it is a straightaway. Too easy for a head-on crash to occur esp while passing cyclists.
-
This bridge is a death trap for cyclists who can match the speed limit downhill, but not on uphill, so it obstructs traffic on this narrow roadway.
-
We need better bicycle infrastructure here, or at least trim all the blackberry bushes. The bike lanes seem to end just before the bridge, merging with pissed off traffic, to only have them threaten to run you over up the hill. No wonder no one wants to go by bike.
-
Let's keep major traffic running on Cornell, Evergreen, Baseline and 26. Let's leave Amberwood a business park/residential street like it was meant to be. Too many cars here will mean more accidents on Amberwood and 206th.
-
This is a difficult intersection to see around due to shrubbery in the business parks and the townhomes close to the road when heading E bound, N Bound and especially S bound. Cars drive way too fast through this intersection all hours of the day resulting in at least ONE major MVA every month. There are a lot of bicycles and people walking their dogs and vehicles need to slow down. Speeds through here need to be reduced from 35 mph (because that means people actually drive 45mph) to 25 mph (so they adhere to 35mph). This is a residential area.
-
The loop at this intersection N bound and S bound do not detect bicycles causing us to ride onto the sidewalk to press the button and risking running over pedestrians and other runners.
-
This intersection East bound and West Bound are dangerous for cyclists.
For West bound cyclists, the bike lane ends just before the intersection and throws you into a bunch of gravel only to merge with cars.
For E bound riders, we have to merge into traffic, cement trucks, bark trucks, hoping that they slow for you or give you room as we cannot ride into that gravel pit here.
The rest of Amberwood is pleasant to ride on, it's just this intersection needs improvement!

It would be great if you put up signs so that the people who have no clue as to how to drive a traffic circle will not A) stop and try to turn the wrong way B) Stop and look confused C) drive 2 miles an hour and stop and think if they should turn or not D) Fail to yield right of way or take the right of way.
It would be great...
It really would..
But of course if you just put in a signal light you could have saved a ton of cash and not caused these problem... But hey, smart people are hard to come by these days.. -
Need a sidewalk on the west side of Minter Bridge and cross walk. Weekdays there is a heavy presence of Iwasaki Brothers' employees who walk from the parking lot at Trinity Lutheran Church to their work. They have to travel on the east side since there is not place to walk on the west side then cross Minter Bridge with no intersection.
-
This intersection is very difficult to walk across as a pedestrian. Cars don't see you because of the bus stop and RR crossing gates. A button crosswalk alert system would be greatly appreciated as I cross this a couple times a week.
-
Change cross walk to pedestrian scramble style. Stop all traffic to allow pedestrians to cross in any direction. This intersection is dangerous as drivers attempt to anticipate light changes but are often wrong as this in a one way road going into two way roads. There is a lot of pedestrian traffic during the week between court and the county and city buildings.
-
Due to the backup & congestion at this intersection, more and more frequently drivers wishing to continue south on Brookwood will get as close as they can to the intersection in the right turn only lane and then cut over at the last minute (sometimes cutting all the way to the left turn lane). This is dangerous & ultimately causes further backup for the people patiently waiting to go straight. I have had multiple occasions where drivers have merged into the through lane from the right lane, in the intersection, very dangerous.
-
This intersection has become very dangerous, have witness several accidents and red light runners. Would like to see someone look into how to improve overall safety.
-
The timing on this light to turn left from Borwick onto Main is too long in non-peak hours. There do appear to be sensors, but they don't seem to react very effectively when a car is waiting and there is no other traffic around.
-
Cars usually do not stop for pedestrians and, during rush-hour, it can be a long wait to cross.
-
Needs sidewalk for entire length of NE 43rd. Have to walk in the street in several places.
-
Sidewalk is breaking apart and is half covered in moss. It is starting to become unsafe.
-
Cornell, west of 25th--no bike lanes, no debris, and no close passes, since the next lane is six feet away.
Cornell, east of 25th--bike lanes, debris, and close passes, since the next lane is inches away from bicyclists hugging the lane line to avoid the debris. -
There should not be a blinking yellow light for the West bound traffic Turn Only lane to turn South onto Brookwood. There are near misses for a colission to happen when heading east cars use turning lane onto Brookwood headed south
-
There should NOT be a blinking YELLOW light for the West Bound turn only lane onto Brookwood Southbound.
At least once a week I almost get hit when I am traveling East bound on TV Hwy and and I turn onto Brookwood Southbound because of cars heading West on TV Hwy using the blinking yellow light to turn onto Brookwood going South -
Removing the bike lanes on Evergreen (and everywhere else) would take care of the debris problem--debris would be swept aside by all the car traffic. It would also reduce close, high-speed passing. Such passing is illegal except on roads with bike lanes.
-
People frequently blow through the North/South stop signs at Dennis, Ebberts, and Freeman. Not sure how to fix this but somebody is going to get hit.
