Speeding during Intel Rush hour times is out of control. Traffic accelerates out of this roundabout towards the Century/Butler intersection at ridiculous rates. The noise is incredibly bothersome. Why do so many Intel employees exit this way vs using Ronlear Drive which seems to have been created for this specific purpose? Why don't employees route out this way vs disturbing the Orenco Neighborhood with increased traffic, high speeds and loud engines accelerating?

Please convert the right-most, northbound lane to a right turn only. Then AFTER the intersection, expand the lane to northbound traffic. There are a lot of commuters that head East on Evergreen at that intersection and are stuck behind people that insist on occupying the right most lane even though they are not turning right.

Smart traffic improvements for South Hillsboro. I've seen some of the proposals that have far too many lights. Is it really necessary that EVERY access point has a light so there are 7 lights and a traffic circle from Farmington to TV Highway? All that will do is slow the flow of traffic down overall, or is that the plan to help ease traffic on TV highway, to make it impossible to get there?

I live south of this point and take MAX into PDX for work. I would ride my bike to the fairgrounds if this was a safe place to do that. Daily, I see walkers trying not to get hit on this road because there are no sidewalks. I have only walked it twice and I have lived here for 12 years. It needs safety improvements!

Traffic is going too fast past Rosebay Park. Typically during rush-hour. Many people cutting through to avoid traffic on Century from Intel. People looking at phones, speeds too high. This is a high-use park and lots of pedestrians in this area. PLEASE add speed bumps before someone is hurt or killed.

Please create a bike/walk lane here. Ths curve is very dangerous for anyone not in a car.

How many people have to die at this intersection to get at least a marked crosswalk and at best, 4 way stop signs? This intersection is deceptive because the exit from the Walgreens/Taco Bell/24 hr Fitness is always busy, but it's not clearly marked as a road, like on this map. There is a 4 way stop at the road one block north of this intersection, why is there not one at this intersection, considering it is closer the businesses that cause most of the issues. In addition, another drive thru business is planned at the sw corner of this intersection, how many businesses are you going to add before you are going to make this safe?

Need more effective means of slowing traffic through this and other neighborhoods. Increased traffic brings increased traffic cutting through our neighborhoods. I understand limited manpower to patrol but how about some additional options that the residents might even be able to help with to keep our streets safe?

With the growth of the city, I'm wondering why we have so few options north/south movement south of the Max? All the neighborhoods along the Cornelius pass cooridoor either have to walk to the max or TV highway and bus to either Downtown Hillsboro or Beaverton to catch the train. It would be nice to plan and implement now to ease the existing traffic before the influx from the new homes hits and then react after the traffic mess has been made.

Going north and turning left at this intersection:
* The left-turn signal can be *very* short, and even one slow/inattentive person can leave a lot of people waiting for another whole iteration (which is quite a long time)
* Also, there are large gaps in southbound traffic, and it would be nice to have a blinking-yellow left turn, so we don't have to wait through the whole iteration and can take advantage of the very large openings -
Sidewalks on Sunrise are a must! There are so many small children that walk along this road and it's incredibly dangerous.

This is where kids cross the street to walk to school. Many drivers speed right past the crossing guard. Harewood needs speed control.
-
Needs a continuous sidewalk and bike lane for safety.
-
Several times have had people leaving the smoke shop and trying to go east bound on tv highway, but are using the turn lane for vehicles turning onto northbound brookwood. This causes a head on crash situation. Sorry a bit difficult to explain please contact me if more info needed.

There isn't a way to walk on a sidewalk from Alderbrook neighborhood and north to downtown. A 1758' sidewalk between 1319 Connell and 779 Connell would fix it.

No parking signs along this blind corner to make it safe for kids coming from Ladd Acres rear entrance and families coming to the park at this intersection. Commercial vehicles, trailers, and trucks parked here all the time force a single lane of travel and make it impossible to stay within the lanes defined by the newly applied bump strips.

Johnson Street is terribly dangerous, people are driving way too fast, dangerous by the school, with poor visibility. We need sidewalks, bike lanes, perhaps speed bumps? I'm not sure what the solution is, but it really needs to be looked at.

Sidewalk incomplete on both sides of street making walking dangerous in front of elks lodge. Kids often end up in the road here with busy traffic. Please finish sidewalk on one side of street or other for safety.

This pathway connecting the Jackson School Neighborhood to NE 3rd Avenue needs some attention. It currently is completely unlit (safety concern), improved with only wood chips (which are slippery in wet months), and has some areas of steep slopes. This pathway is the absolute best pedestrian connection for between Jackson School Neighborhood and Downtown and it needs to be prioritized accordingly.

Needs sidewalks!

Turning right from Butler into Shute is difficult on a red light due to the limited visibility of north-bound Shute and the speed of the cars. If you need to go straight or choose to wait at the red light, impatient cars will cut into the bike lane and turn right ahead of you. Consider adding a "no-right-turn-on-red" sign here. This will prevent unsafe turning and stop riskier cars from taking the bike-lane to turn.

Stop sign on 9th & Arrington. Something to keep drivers from mistaking it for the Woodburn drag strip.
-
There needs to be a right turning lane here, due to the amount of heavy traffic and accidents from drivers turning right. There is a lot congestion regardless on the time of day, and the school buses also cause congestion turning right as well, due to the tracks. We will have an increase in population/ traffic and this really needs to be addressed at this intersection.
