Could signs be added to Pecho from MDO toward Los Osos (Downhill) saying "cyclists may use full lane" to slow traffic and fair for bicycles heading downhill (like signs on pine ave.)

Pure Obstruction and doesn't seem to improve anything

On S. Higuera it can be very difficult/scary cross the right turn lanes to Madonna when you're trying to continue travel south on S. Higuera.

Drivers fail to respond to pedestrian/cyclist signal 1/5 times. Enforcement needed

Drivers go too fast, turn right on red, make unsafe lane changes, and the high volume of traffic at peak times make this a very challenging intersection for cyclists and pedestrians.

Agree, buy lots and convert to park/open space or something usable for the public.

Agree, close vehicle access to strand way. In turn fix and improve adjacent street for vehicles.

My recommendation is place diagonal parking on each side. Reduce to a two lane road. This increases parking and reduces speeds, increases walking. Provide bulb-out curb returns to enhance public safety and walkable areas throughout. Increase sidewalk widths. Pave the parking lots and buy the empty lots to create more parking and also to Create some green space and sitting areas for families to eat. Close off strand way to create a walking open space area.

My brothers and I bike this portion of LOVR often, we have almost gotten hit multiple times by cars crossing into the bike lane. We need protected bike lanes on LOVR.

Walking up this hill to get to the bus stop at Pine is super dangerous. There is no sidewalk and pedestrians are forced to go out into the street. I've been almost hit multiple times walking or biking on this portion of LOVR. We need to continue the sidewalk to at least Pine.

This area would be safer if it was 1 lane instead of 2. The merge is poorly marked and short, and I've had jerks zoom past me just to squeeze in between me and the car in front of me (where there wasn't really space) SO many times, this doesn't SERVE traffic, it CREATES traffic. Get rid or the second lane so we don't need a merge, and we'll all be safer. I have also never been stuck in traffic bad enough to deserve that second lane here and without choices to cut other cars off, less traffic.

We need a continuous and safe sidewalk to walk from housing to businesses. I regularly walk here and between utility poles taking up sidewalk space and making it too narrow and sidewalks disappearing, I end up in the street far too often, sharing space with speeding cars.

We do not need to pay for more traffic enforcement here if we were to narrow the road and make it harder to speed. This would cost less money in the end and make it actually safer. We can't always have a cop posted here, and pulling people over isn't exactly safe for the cop or the driver, or others on the road. It's not realistic to expect enforcement to make a change. Flashing signs are just an annoyance. We need to make speeding actually harder by changing the road.

This road should be 1 lane in either direction here. There are neighborhoods that people need to get in and out of, and the double lanes makes it feel like a freeway, and I even find myself speeding here. Narrow the road and give the space back as a nice sidewalk and protected bike lane so folks can walk/bike to the store and back home safely. We need to prioritize non-car traffic to relieve road congestion.

Why does the road get wider when the speed limit decreases? I have had so many crazy people zoom past me because the wider road invites passing and speeding. I used to be that person, but I realized how unsafe it is. This road needs a diet here to make it appropriately narrow for the speed limit; please use the extra space to create a nice wide sidewalk and protected bike lane. I've NEVER seen traffic warrant two lanes here, not even during commute hours.

four lanes on this road would complicate the many turnouts and driveways and intersections, and wouldn't solve the traffic problem during rush hour. It would create traffic more often as people race around to pass other cars. It would also be a waste of space for all but the 2 hours a day when traffic is "bad".

We should underground utilities that run along this road. The power poles run through a muddy marsh and often fall during heavy rain, causing other damage, power outages for surrounding communities, and take a long time and cost a lot to continue to fix them. It's dangerous even for passing vehicles since one could fall on the road or cause a fire. Undergrounding them would leave space for a protected bike lane and would look better. As we redo the road, we should underground utilities as well.

I'd love to see a bus line come from Los Osos to SLO down this road. I'm extremely surprised it does not, and the current bus lines are not feasible because they take too long and the time between them is too wide. If you want to get to Los Osos, you have to go to Morro Bay first, which takes 50 minutes, and if you miss a bus the next one is 60 minutes away, causing up to almost 2 hours of delay. We need a way to alleviate car traffic during rush hour, and a bus would help a lot!

We need a protected and physically separated bike lane from SLO to at least Los Osos, ideally all the way to MDO park. These roads are too dangerous to bike on with high speed traffic and I would love to bike here, but I'm too scared and have heard too many stories of injuries and accidents of car vs bike. Making a safe way to bike on this road will help alleviate rush hour traffic that folks are complaining about as well.

Please do not add lanes to Los Osos Valley Road. The road works fine 95% of the day and adding a lane would only cause more traffic as cars try to change lanes. We don't need more car capacity on this road.

on the south side of the road use to be a 4 ft walking area now we have to walk in the road bring back the off road sidewalk area and for the bike riders the street sweeper needs to do a better job and drop his brushes not just bypass the debris he is to pick up. pay him by the load not the mile

Even with new infrastructure in downtown SLO it still feels like cars don't look for pedestrians and drive too fast. So I feel unsafe crossing both Marsh and Higuera.
