Comments for “Transportation System Plan Update”
-
This intersection is a NIGHTMARE for people trying to get out of the Shaleen/Nelly neighborhood trying to go North on Cornelius Pass. It's impossible to turn left, and very often impossible to make a right, move immediately to the far left lane of the Baseline/Cornelius Pass intersection to make a u-turn.
-
Very difficult situation here as business entrance is too close to major intersection. Shortens turning lane on SB 25th onto Cornell, so people frequently use the NB turning lane into Cornell Square. Making SB 25th traffic in sync with EB turning signal would help, then cycling to NB 25th traffic with WB turning traffic. Separate the NB & SB traffic signals.
-
24th ave needs a right turn lane so the traffic does not have to wait for the light to turn green. More traffic turns right at the light than goes straight into Safeway parking lot.
-
Cornell & Brookwood needs to have the left turning traffic light to go on first to relieve the backed up traffic which gets held up by the left turning traffic. It seems the light does it sometimes but not all of the time. It needs to be all of the time.
-
As mentioned elsewhere, the heavy rush hour(s) traffic is horrendous. Getting out of Intel HF or any of the other businesses on Elam Young onto Cornell Rd westbound is very slow as traffic is usually backed up from the 48th intersection, leaving almost no opportunity for entry onto Cornell. Having the 48th and Brookwood lights turn red 10 seconds after this one would really be helpful as it would drain some of the Cornell traffic away.
-
NE 25th really needs to be at least 3 lanes, with more adequate bike lanes and turn lane, similar to what was done on 28th. The vast amount of overheads wires also brings down the aesthetics of the neighborhood.
-
Side walk ends, there is a warning sign forcing pedestrians out to the street. Lighting at night is not strong enough for cars to see danger. Have witnessed cars with excessive speed reacting to pedestrians in the area. This portion of Drake has become a higher traffic way for those avoiding a left hand turn on to TV HWY.
-
There is a fence and bushes here that block the view of cars coming from Taco Bell and/or 24 hour Fitness.
-
There is insufficient drainage at this intersection so after even a mild rain, water accumulates to several inches deep at the SE corner of this intersection. This will more quickly degrade the road and causes water to be splashed up on pedestrians waiting to cross - who must also cross through a large deep puddle.
-
The "crosswalk closed" signs are in the middle of the sidewalk and should be moved off the sidewalk. And since 3 of 4 crossing are closed at this disjoint intersection, the crosswalk should be marked and maybe have flashing lights, since it's also a blind corner. Crossing is not very safe due to poor visibility and high vehicle speeds. The many "no crosswalk" signs also lead to visual clutter especially in the mornings and evenings when light reflects off the signs at oblique angles - making it difficult as a driver to see what's a pedestrian and what's a sign.
-
there is speed reduction sign here often hidden behind vegetation that transitions from 55 to 45 essentially at a residential area. it would be a good idea to move that sign 100-200 yards south on river road to improve visibility and reduce instances of vehicles doing 55 through a residential area
-
Please install a bike lane. This is a dangerous stretch of road with the big cement trucks and landscaping trucks and no place for bicycles but in the traffic lane.
-
Eastbound Veterans Dr. doesn't detect bikes in the bike lane at this intersection. I've have to ride over to the sidewalk and activate the Walk/Wait button.
-
I have been so close to being hit on my bike multiple times by motorists using the bike lane as a right turn lane. Please paint a green bike box or put posts up to keep cars from using the bike lane. This is the most dangerous part of my daily commute.
-
The bicycle lanes here become unusable when they get filled with evergreen duff and twigs, and bicyclists are forced into the road instead of staying in the bike lane.
-
Can be dangerous to walk down this road as the side turns into ditches. However it is something I can live with as I don't want people's land being taken away like it has been on Cedar.
-
Difficult to turn left onto brookwood when there is heavy traffic. We deal with this by turning into the turning lane and waiting for a break in traffic to merge in, though it can be harrowing with people going at full speed. If there is an intersection or light, please make it a sensitive one. It would be unhelpful if traffic was light but the lights are timed so we would still have to wait anyway.

Bus line that rune North- south on Corneluis Pass road to quatama TC.

EXTREMELY dangerous intersection here for cars/bikes/pedestrians trying to cross or turn onto 209th (either from W or E).
I would recommend a roundabout, really like these-doesn't slow traffic as much as lights. -
In addition to comments at the intersection already (209th heading to TV area)-which I agree with-want to add, if two lanes extended back further, it would decrease congestion.
Often I see the left turn lane full-preventing people who want to go straight, or turn right from moving ahead. It is a little better since the turn light was put in-but I expected more improvement.
Possibly also looking at length of time this intersections lights are given.
Left turn light here-big improvement if it also flashed yellow-often little traffic is coming straight ahead and more cars could turn left onto TV highway. -
Vacant lot in deplorable condition, poison oak, dog waste, trash, yard debris, large trees with limbs ready to drop, makes turns at this intersection into Jay Kay park dangerous and blind, pedestrians/many children from Imlay at risk. Clean it up!
-
Add traffic light here to aid those coming from Airport and businesses like Costco onto Brookwood, either north or south. The blind corner and high speed of traffic going north on Brookwood makes this very dangerous currently.
-
This entrance onto Cornell should be closed permanently. Traffic entering Cornell should be forced to use the lights, or go 48th St and then to Brookwood. I've seen too many people turn right out of here, then turn left or right onto Brookwood. Cornell is sorely in need of better ingress/egress at this location. Adding a light at Brookwood and Airport would make it easier to get onto Brookwood in either direction.
-
Need left turn signals going both ways on NW Wilkins. I realize this would involve adding an extra lane on the east side of the intersection, but cars don’t seem to wait until the oncoming traffic is clear before attempting to turn left. (I know- my car got totaled here by a car making a left turn into my car)

NE 25th backs up most weekday afternoons
