There is no safe way for bicyclists to connect from the library to the south part of Mitchell bridge. They shouldn't go against the flow of one way traffic to connect to the multi-use path or be forced unto sidewalks but driving through the parking lot can also be hazardous given all of the distracted parkers. A protected path or marked route-in green?- would be helpful.

The sidewalk at this intersection are scary. There is so little visibility for cars or pedestrians. Please learn a lesson from this and never approve another like it.

This entry into cubberley is a mess and should just be closed to car traffic. Folks disregard the signage already there, the cars turning in from northbound middle field cause a backup, there's a better entrance at the next intersection, this one just creates chaos

The disappearing bike lane forces student bicyclists onto the sidewalk to avoid cars and then makes them a hazard to pedestrians. Dedicate and protect the bike lane all the way through the intersection on all sides of this intersection

This dark, isolated part of the bike path is in need of lights and a blue emergency type light like they have on Stanford campus. Dark corners that don't get lots of foot traffic are intimidating to new bicyclists- especially women.

It should be easier for bikes crossing southbound on Churchill to turn right into the bike path here. Instead, you have to turn around at the next crosswalk to get over the curb and meet up with the path. Level the curb and improve signage

This stretch of Colorado is c dangerous with many driveways and cars parked on the road visibility is already poor. Add that to the speed at which cars turn off Bayshore, makes this a great candidate for speed bumps/humps, a road diet, bump out curbs at the intersections to increase visibility of pedestrians.

I would love to be able to ride my bike to Costco

I love this intersection as a pedestrian and bicyclist. The dedicated lights, the greenery, the clear signage. Please do more of this.

This is such a poorly designed intersection. I see cars exiting the gas station the wrong direction out of this one way 'road' and many near misses with other cars and bikes Can't it just be closed and cars can use the Fabian intersection instead?

This sidewalk is confusing. Am I supposed to ride my bike on it or join car traffic on the road? Add some signage

This road is too narrow with the street parking. Remove the parking on one side and have a separate lane for bikes. If possible, elevate the crosswalks to enhance visibility

Something needs to be done about the line of cars blocking half of the southbound lane during pickup and dropoff. The backup can be blocks long and encouraged reckless passing. It's not responsible to have a school here and no safe way for students to bike there.

Cars go so fast through this stretch. Widen/separate the bike lane. Add raised crosswalks, not just the stripes in the street. I have seen many cars blow right through them when pedestrians are in them.

The new bike path to Hoover is nice but this corner is a hazard. There should be no parking here as cars have limited visibility around this corner. Add bollards or something to separate/protect pedestrians

This parking lot and path around cubberley is utter chaos. Cars routinely drive the wrong way through the one-way signage and no wonder, the signage is poor and I. Parts there are painted arrows on the road going both directions. Close this narrow path to cars so pedestrians and bikes can pass safely.

The amount of illegal parking in this 3 minute drop off lane is ridiculous. It would improve safety for all- pedestrian, bike, and driver, if we did away with the parking altogether. Dedicated bike lane or wider curb would be so much better. Also, something more needs to be done to enforce/ increase awareness about the no-idling ordinance, especially around schools and parks where children are.

Cars illegally park in this bike lane, especially during pickup and dropoff times. Combined with all the additional pedestrian and bike traffic at these times, it is very dangerous. More enforcement, better signage, more outreach by school staff or PTA?

Please do NOT put a traffic light here. It would add too many cars to the bike boulevard.

this is the crossing path and main entrance to JLS. One crossing guard, many cars, bicycles and pedestrians. Parents make turns on Waverley, almost hitting bicyclist and pedestrians etc.

T here are many kids/teenagers that bike to Gunn high school along El Camino Way. There are no bike lanes, and bikes are often forced to ride on the sidewalk to be safe. Those that choose to try to deal with cars and bike on the road have to manage a LOT of parked cars, low visibility, and a poor road surface.
Please help bikers who want to use this section of road to connect West Meadow to Maybell Ave.Liked 5 times -
Please consider adding a three-way stop sign at the intersection of Vista and Versa. Cars in this neighborhood park at odd angles, often protruding into intersections causing cars to veer into the middle of streets. A stop sign here would prevent accidents and would protect kids who bike to school through this intersection.

Sign this S-curve with BIKES MAY USE FULL LANE & DO NOT PASS signage. Drivers routinely pass cyclists on this S-curve when they cannot see opposing traffic.

Why no bike access through here? Would like to access foothills without having to brave Page Mill.

Need some nice visible entrance here. Still regularly find people lost at the California Avenue ave under crossing looking for the northbound train. I've even seen people try to cross Alma!!! yikes, and climb fence, in the past.
Opportunity for something big and artistic like in Paris?Liked 2 times
