People are not slowing at the 35MPH sign NOR the 30MPH sign heading north into town. Please install cameras or ?? to reduce speeds.

Offramp is like a raceway...folks coming off the highway are still traveling at 45 mph when then merge with SB 99W. There are 3 lanes at this juncture and jockeying for position is a regular occurrence.

Pedestrians cross the WB on-ramp, then try to cross SB 4th on their way to/from the homeless camps.

Drivers accelerate onto the HWY 34 ramp starting back as far as Chapman. Noise and speed are incompatible with the number of pedestrians that walk on the east side of HWY 99 at this juncture.

Nearly impossible to exit this driveway heading south on 99. Not sure I have any suggestions, just drawing awareness to the hazard.

Sidewalk missing on the North side of Crystal lake

A bike path/trail along the train tracks would be a safer travel route for bikes/walkers west of 99W

Egress or ingress from/onto any of these side streets is very difficult at certain times of the day. There is way too much traffic on this road during rush hours. I sometimes have to wait a long time to turn left off of the hiway.

Corvallis' future bike bridge over the Mary's river at the Mary's River Natural Area to Caldwell Natural Area park would be a good bypass for bikes going east/west. This should be connected near SE Rivergreen Ave.

People ride their bikes on the sidewalk thru here because riding in the bike lane is too scary. This creates a problem for pedestrians using the sidewalk. Need an actual bike path along the hiway that is separated from the traffic.

As is the case with most areas of the city/county, speed limits are ignored. It is about time to make folks realize that "law and order" begin with speed limits. Kids are taught at an early age to disregard this important aspect of civic responsibility. Please start enforcing the law, it does not help to reduce speed limits if they are ignored anyway.

Exiting the Coop parking lot in a car or pickup requires pulling into the bike lane to see highway traffic both ways, not safe for bikers. Then if you see a biker, you need to backup into the parking lot. I'm always afraid when biking on this sidewalk we will be hit by a car pulling out of the parking lot, or pulling into the parking lot from the southbound traffic.

The in- and egress to/from the South Coop is the worst on this stretch of Hwy 99. Not only is, on their property, vision often blocked by the ornamental plants, but they also have signs up that block the view of the road/sidewalk. This is especially dangerous because the bikepath goes in both directions on the East sidewalk. And very recently, the turn lane coming from town, which was already very short, has been removed.
Add the bus stop by the Coop, the homeless settlement folks jaywalking/-riding, and the fact that the on-ramp to 34 going East makes everyone speed up there so that they can enter the Hwy at the top at the required 55 miles (speed of traffic coming from the West), and you get accidents waiting to happen.Suggestions:
Speed limits, including the on-ramp to 34 East
Change the two-way bike traffic along the Coop
Put a speed checker on the stretch from Crystal Lake Dr to the under/overpasses (like there is on the other side, going South. This really works, but could be even better if it were moved further North.)Liked 0 times -
Great to have a safe way to cross Hwy99 from Rivergreen Ave. to McKenszie Ave. to access Block 15 Brewery and 4 Spirits Distillery.

Safe biking and walking should at least go as far south as the airport. To the North, the closer to the under-/overpasses-in the strip with traffic from businesses and streets entering-there should be calming measures such as were just introduced on Circle between 9th and 29th. The speed limits need to be lowered to the extent ODOT will allow, so that the actual speeds driven do not exceed 25mph.
More enforcement; cops by Lincoln do work!
I think there have been enough pedestrian/bicyclist deaths and accidents to merit a little bit of impingement on everybody's freedumb to do what they want-be they drivers in a rush or kids on bikes.
More awareness raising/training-the kids at Lincoln learning the rules for biking is great, and the various memorials for those killed really did slow things down around the South Co-op for a while.Liked 2 times -
As a bike commuter, there is a lot of high speed traffic that can make it a significant challenge to turn left from Rivergreen onto 99.

Drivers that accidentally went over the river bridge will then U-turn here to go back across, often times not paying attention to pedestrians and fast moving bikes coming from both directions crossing Chapman. I have seen this happen numerous times.

Drivers turning right out of this parking lot often times only look left and there's so much traffic here with Dutch Bros that this section of sidewalk is hazardous to pedestrians.

In addition to the awkward ramp alignments on the north side of Lilly, often times cars turning at every direction within this intersection are not aware of pedestrians. There needs to be a marked crosswalk across Lilly.

The new bicycle path connecting Crystal Lake Drive to the pedestrian bridge is a huge improvement. I feel much safer on my commute, and hope for more improvements in the same vein. Thank you!

A pedestrian/bikeable bridge over the intersection here would make it much safer for students and will help to get more to ride their bikes or walk to school. I can imagine that this would be very expensive, but it will save lives and reduce barriers to alternative transportation.

Agree that a traffic circle at Rivergreen/Hwy99 would be desirable to 1)slow Hwy99 traffic, 2) ease access in/out of Rivergreen, used by many hundreds, and 3) likely increase safety

Turning onto park when traveling southbound by bike is terrifying. There is no direct, safe route to the south end of southtown for bikes. Sometimes if I can afford to add on to my already long bike commute, I piece together a much long route through the neighborhoods up to Crystal Lake Drive. A continuous multi-use path from Mary's River through Rivergreen that doesn't require crossing highway 99, please! I also welcome the idea of moving 99 to the railroad corridor or using the railroad corridor for bike/pedestrian use (although the latter feels less safe given the increasing population living outside and underresourced to the point of desperation. Right now, I wouldn't feel safe using a bike path along the railroad corridor, even if it existed.)

Add roundabouts at several of the major intersections, eliminating need for traffic signals and preserving movement along the corridor. It seems like this entire zone is ripe for some roundabouts!
