Old Oakleigh Rd could be converted to a mutli-use trail. With geography of how it meets Cromwell Bridge Rd it would be easy to add a pedestrian bridge and then trail to Loch Raven High School. This would provide a safe walk/bike route from the neighborhood up the hill.

No safe crossing from multi-family residential developments to shopping center. Road diet needed plus a pedestrian signal for crossing, it is excessively far to the nearest stop light.

ReplyI cannot agree more and would add that it's the entire stretch from York Road to Padonia Road. How about a two lane road with center turn lane using the extra space for a protected bike lane? Speeds are too high, volumes are probably so that travel lanes can be removed.

Also, close to Padonia, sidewalk should be added on both sides. There is so many kids walking from to school. -

Sidewalk gap! This gap is about two hundred yards long and is not apparent at either prior intersection. Frequently you see runners and walkers braving this section in the roadway. No shoulder, no grass verge and 40 mph speeds. #1 - install a sidewalk here and #2 - MDOT/SHA should lower speed limits.

Crossing the roads takes too long and discourages people from moving. This leads to some people crossing dangerously or taking risks to save time. There are no pedestrian prioritized crossings available, so people have to go to intersections or brave the road to cross. One solution is to install traffic lights that prioritize pedestrians. Another solution is to create raised/colored crossings along the roads. Many people want to cross but are afraid or find it inconvenient.

Biking along this corridor between Four Corners and Burnt Mills feels unsafe and uncomfortable. There is only a narrow sidewalk next to a traffic lane where drivers routinely exceed the speed limit. There is a retaining wall next to the sidewalk requiring people to ride closer to the edge, utility poles in the sidewalk, and vegetation has encroached over the sidewalk further narrowing it. Guard rails at the Northwest Branch bridge further narrow the sidewalk. A separated side path including a bridge across the Northwest Branch would create safe biking conditions along this highly travelled BRT growth corridor.
