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.

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.

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.

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
