Another area that could use wider sidewalks due to congestion with restaurant patrons and high foot traffic from crossing Kings

Wider sidewalk needed here. Can get very crowded with Bombs and Dream patrons in the summer.

Echoing other comment - I constantly see cars using the bike lane as a right turn lane. Could also use a bus turn out rather than blocking traffic.

As a route that heavily caters to both pedestrians and motorists, Monroe Avenue is not well lit in the slightest along its entire length. Many individuals wearing black (as would be expected as an OSU color) are not well visible when driving in the dark. During the winter months, this is especially dangerous as people leave their place of work or class after dark at 5. Better lighting and more clearly marked pedestrian crossings would improve the safety of all transit methods.

More street seating for restaurants would be nice.

It would be nice to have wider sidewalks with benches or other places to hang out along the street.

This intersection gets crazy. People (including me) walk across the intersection diagonally to get to Arnold Way from Monroe and vice versa.

Confusing right turn, because it seems like a designated right-turn lane but is actually a continuation of bike path.

There are too many cars on Monroe. Please consider making Monroe a one-way street west/uphill with angle(back-in) parking and an east/downhill lane a 2-way cycle track.

Lower speed limit to 10 mph on entire area. Speed bumps/median plantings. Traffic calm techniques: apply them.

Parking should be removed on south side of street. Dangerous to bicyclists when drivers pull into and out of parking.

This crossing is not friendly to bicyclists

This is a popular Campus access zone that doubles as a driveway so there is pedestrian/bicycle conflict with cars entering and exiting. Parking should be limited to disable permit or loading only.

Eastbound cars that stop for pedestrians in crosswalk block bikes from crossing.

This traffic signal is extremely slow to change. It seems to stay green for 14th St far longer than necessary, with an increasing line waiting on Monroe.

Often I see food delivery folks, like GrubHub, make U turns in the middle of the block. Signage and more enforcement should be used to stop this unsafe practice.

Covered bus stop needed here.

I avoid the entire section of Monroe Ave - too many people crossing the road, no parking, and too slow to drive through. But I like the eateries on this street.

Nice bike parking. Wish some was covered.

It would be nice if there was a gathering place or a restaurant on this block. It breaks up the nice activity on the rest of the street.

Another block that would be nice with wider sidewalks and outside dining instead of on-street parking. There is plenty of parking on the side streets instead.

Dangerous driveway for cars, bikes and pedestrians on Monroe. Maybe it should not allow cars to turn left when exiting, or limit who can drive in here at all?
