Consider realigning north leg of Paradise Lane to align with southern leg. There was a fatal crash here recently

Please include plans for some form of separated bicycle & pedestrian facility on LOVR between the City of SLO City Limits and Los Osos.

Please consider a roundabout for this intersection, as this likely provides the highest level of operational and safety improvement and could likely compete well for regional/state/federal grant opportunities.

This on ramp would be much more useful if it was longer so cars could have more time to get up to speed before merging. I don't know if anything could be done about that, with the space available. As it is, I often avoid this on ramp and choose San Anselmo, particularly if traffic looks a little heavier on 101.

Someone already made a comment, but in addition to 'liking' it I'd like to echo it here since I care a lot about this: I'd love to see a dedicated bike path or safe way for bikes and/or foot traffic to connect Templeton to Atascadero, without needing to get on 101. With the sharper curves it feels even more dangerous to bike on the freeway through that stretch.

We walked to the Oaks Preserve the other day. Doing so we felt very exposed to the speeding traffic. We easily felt the gusts from the passing cars on our clothing.

I think it's time to consider a Class 1 bike path/multi-use between SLO and Los Osos. We are seeing more and more folks bike between SLO and Los Osos and the speeds along LOVR are often freeway speeds. Bicycling along this section of LOVR is nerve racking during am commute hours. When the express bus service was eliminated I stopped riding my bike to SLO in AM. I never rode in the PM since the grade is uphill all the way back and into the wind, the bus service was a nice compliment to commute

As part of a road diet strategy there could be potentially enough cross section width to reduce lane widths or eliminate a lane to allow for a multi-use path between S Bay Blvd and 9th Street. I know am/pm volumes are high, however do we really need 4-lanes of traffic in this segment of LOVR?

I understand that the ridership for the Express bus that ran between SLO and LO was low and that's the reason the service was stopped. However if there is a desire to promote a mode shift, service like this is essential if you want commuters to get out of their vehicles, I personally stopped taking transit when this service was eliminated. Should the service be provided it would be good to consider bike capacity on the bus, we often had to race to the bus to make sure that our bike made it on.

For additional traffic calming and reduction of distance for ped crossings please consider bulb outs at the signalized intersections in the corridor. The intersection improvements on LOVR near Home Depot and Target come to mind to allow both ped/bike movements across the 4+ lanes of traffic

This section of LOVR between Fairchild Way and 9th street could use a road diet. Even with the RFB near the shopping center, speeds are entirely too high to allow for pedestrian crossing to be safe. Ideally a similar pedestrian refuge that is near the Ralphs shopping center with left turn pockets would be beneficial to provide traffic calming and refuge for pedestrians if they make a mid-block crossing.

Avoid the use of the confusing green painted bike lanes placed between car parking lanes and sidewalks as has been done in downtown SLO and on Madonna Rd.

I like the new double white lines and what appears to be an expanded shoulder/ bike lane. A rumble strip would be a great addition.

I love the merge lane onto LOVR from Foothill, but I am a little concerned about the driver who stops in mid-merge. Keep the merge lane.

Their used to be an RTA express bus route down LOVR

Many people walk and bike along this road all the way up to Montana de Oro, I think a walking/biking trail along one side would make this area much safer and more accessible.

From the Camp Keep parking lot (S. Dune Trail) to the Hazard Canyon Trail: Equestrians are not allowed on S. Dune and must ride the road between the parking lot and Hazard Cyn trail. It is not very safe and cars don't always slow down. A safe side trail would be great.

Apply camera assisted traffic ticket enforcement for motorists traveling too fast, too slow or too close to other vehicles, including policing agencies who seem always travel faster than limits allow.

We need rumble strips along the entire corridor, but most importantly along this long, straight section. I have been nearly missed several times by texting drivers. Why on earth was this not done when the road was recently re-stripped?

A middle turn lane to fill the gap between the traffic signal & Monarch Grove.

Should be 4 lanes from Foothill to Los Osos Creek.

If you can't pave the part of the road around these mailboxes, filling in the horrible ruts would be fabulous.
Thanks!Liked 0 times -
The whole road needs to be engineered to accommodate peds & bikes too. I very surprised that no one has been killed or maimed yet. School & tourist buses, trucks with huge horse trailers, almost daily emergency vehicles, plus general knuckleheads can barely fit on the road in it's current state, as evidenced by the ruts at the edge of the pavement on most curves. It's surprising to me just how many bicyclists actually are brave(?) enough to chance it. Fix it BEFORE someone dies, not after.

Rumble strips on the fog line in both directions would improve safety for both bikes and cars. Please don't put it in the bike lane.

Don't need four lanes all the way between SLO and Los Osos but having a center turn lane or turn pockets for adjoining roads and driveways will save lives. Every road/driveway has skid marks leading up to it.
