    Add a curb ramp and crosswalk here. People are going to cross here if you want them to or not.

    This needs to be paved. It's a critical connection point to the park. It's gravel and full of potholes. It connects to the neighborhood bikeway as well.

    Repair the sidewalks and curbs in this area, and add a boulevard while your're at it. They plow snow to the middle of the street and it becomes a problem with trying to get into your driveway if you live here. Add a boulevard so they plow snow onto the boulevard and not the middle of the street. And fix the sidewalks and curbs so kids walking to school don't have to dodge potholes in the sidewalk.

    How is this bike lane going to work with the angle parking? Can you consider putting a cycle track between the parks and the sidewalk? Please don't add a bike lane where the angled parking drivers could back into us.

    Please add angled parking here. We need more on-street parking in this area. It's a congested parking situation with all the businesses here.

    With the addition of the 3-story residential at the southwest corner of this intersection (currently under construction) there is going to be an uptick in traffic. With Thirsty Street one block away this area might become more difficult with crossing first. Need a stoplight here or on N 22nd on 1st Ave.

    This crosswalk is deteriorating. It's not just the paint, but the pavement itself is breaking up and needs repair. This is a another crosswalk that needs a flashing light. The cars don't stop when you're standing at one end of the crosswalk.

    Crosswalks. We need crosswalks painted at our intersections. This is a minimum standard that should be used in the entire downtown area.

    I would not jog the bike lane over to 25th. People will cut through on their bike regardless if you jog the bike lane or not. Work with the property/business owners to make the connection smooth to Montana Ave.

    Please turn 2nd Ave into a 2-way street and add a measure to stop traffic for bicyclists. A flashing light or stop light.

    5th Avenue Corridor

    Again, if you want to put a bike lane here, don't but bicyclists in danger by leading them to cross without any measures. Traffic on 6th Ave N is incredibly dangerous. A stoplight or flashing light is needed. Please add a 3-foot wide stripped buffer to bike lanes.

    MONTANA AVE

    Please add a cycle track on Montana Avenue instead of a bike lane. Widen the sidewalk for businesses. A cycle track will make it easier to bike to the shops/bars along Montana Ave. People speed regularly down Montana Ave; the 25 mph speed limit is not enforced and drivers ignore pedestrian signs. I'd like to see Montana Ave turned into a 2-lane two way street, or with a stop sign/light added to interrupt the speeders. They will continue to ignore pedestrian signs. Flashing pedestrian signs aren't enough of a measure for speeders.

    1st Avenue N - 9th to RR Crossing

    If you are planning to run a bike lane on 18th and cross 1st Ave, please put a stop light here. It's incredible difficult to cross 1st Ave as a bicyclist. Turning this street into a 2-way street would help. The non-stop traffic creates a wall of cars. If you add a street light, it will interrupt the flow of cars for people to cross the street.

    Intersection improvement at Huey Way and Highway 3. Turn lanes on hwy 3 would be ideal.

    Is it a street, lane or ? Who owns it? Used as an entry and exit point for BFS and MTARG. Possibly storage unit trucks too. Make it a road or block it off.

    With the completion of the Skyline trail, residential traffic will have to make 90 degree right and left turns across the hwy and trail. It will be safer to move the traffic through several round-a-bouts to allow for right hand turns into their residential property.

    I think the speed limit should be lowered to make it easier for residents to enter and exit their streets. Am not in favor of more roundabouts.

    Additional "No passing" signage is needed along Highway 3. There is currently not enough signage and the traffic lines are too difficult to see in the winter.

    when traveling west bound on Hwy 3 -- and then turning left - Sky Ranch, Masterson, etc. with signal light on -- traffic is passing on left while I'm trying to turn. Speed limit needs to be reduced -- more round about on hwy 3 - AJ Way and into Airport operations road

    Something needs to be done about the vehicles heading eastbound on highway 3 merging to the right too quickly. They have their own lanes - needs to be some more lane definition

    Rimrock Rd/ 27th St

    Intersection improvement at 27th/ Rimrock. The traffic signal (temporary) was very nice. Needs intersection control.

    Adjust signal timing to sense those in the queue. Traffic queuing on Grand Ave (both directions).

    ZLots of red light running at Rimrock/ Zimmerman. Mostly when people are turning left from Rimrock to Zimmerman. Adjust lighting timing.
