Bike lane should be made wider and safer. Drain for storm drain is a hazard.

Bikers ride against traffic on the wrong side. Cars picking up after school cause grid lock

Intersection of Oberlin and College sees many bicycling children interacting with cars turning right onto Oberlin from College or driving too fast on Oberln to turn onto College. It seem only a matter of time before luck runs out and someone is hurt.

The traffic light at ECR and Cal Ave needs some updating with timed crossings since Cal Ave is closed below ECR, the traffic light still turns green, but the pedestrian/cycle crossings are unclear with the white walking sign on the northbound side illuminating for a few seconds before warning red.

Consider separate bike lane or other infastructure change to reduce the unsafe behavior from both cars and bikes. Can we have Google Maps and Wayze redirect traffic away from E Meadow in the mornings?

Cars on Colorado fly down this road and intersection. Consider speed humps. Kids on bikes have almost been hit multiple times.

ECR pavement is horrible and makes biking/walking across almost a dangerous experience. Embarcadero intersection greatly improved recently. Can we repave here?

Keep the low hedge trimmed please - one side did get trimmed recently but not the other and it’s covering half of the bike lane just before the turn onto Embarcadero Bike Path where traffic joins from Alma.

Sudden end of bike path heading downtown from Embarcadero bike path and Stanford Campus, so bikes are supposed to navigate heavy car traffic on University that is rarely understanding of the fact that bikes belong on the road too.

Cars don’t regularly stop for pedestrians, and bikes crossing Middlefield don’t stand a chance. Could pedestrian crossing lights at least help bring attention to both groups so that they can safely cross Middlefield?

Cars do not always stop at stop signs. If bikers are to be safe and if we want to support more sustainable ways of commuting to work, school, etc, we need routes that are actually safe for individuals, families, and children to use.

Bikes (kids rushing to school but also adults) do not disembark their bikes regardless of who is in the tunnel. Crowds of kids rush down on bikes at full speed at 8.45am in their way to school and regularly endanger pedestrians.

Sensors don’t recognize bikes, a bike signal pole is needed in both directions for safe crossing of Middlefield. While this is an issue at many intersections, the Homer/Middlefield should be a priority as it leads to the Homer bike underpass and Embarcadero bike path.
