Echoing other comments that we need a safe bike/pedestrian corridor in this area. Our family would cycle rather than drive at least once a week along this stretch if there was a safe thoroughfare for bicycles

I would like to see a roundabout here. Would alleviate the twice daily backup.

The merge lane is absolutely needed, but reckless (or inexperienced) drivers do make it dangerous for others traveling west on LOVR if they merge too early, which happens often. Perhaps consider adding flexible plastic delineator posts between the merge lane and LOVR for the first 20, 30 meters to make it clear that merging drivers need to pick up speed prior to merge.

This is a problem turn for East bound cyclists seeking to turn left onto Turi Rd from Los Osos Valley Rd. Often traffic is too dense and rapid for cyclists to make that left turn without stopping on shoulder and waiting until traffic subsides.

I would like to see rumble strips placed on both sides of the road on the fog lines the entire length of LOVR, at least from Foothill Blvd to South Bay Blvd.

Repair needed along the ocean-side lane here. This area needs to be widened so as to avoid the potential for head-on collisions as people come downhill around the curve, from the visitor's center.

Please re-engineer the fix to the horrific pothole that opened up near this location after the big rains of 2022/23. The fix has been holding lately but a permanent solution that will last beyond the next wet winter is still required, based on how the repair is getting lumpier every day.

The merge lane is very helpful with traffic. With that being said a sign needs to be posted that it is not a stop, but a merge lane just like an on ramp. Cars often sit in that lane for long periods of time backing up traffic onto Foothill. There is a significant issue with citizens trying to be traffic control which only leads to more aggressive driving patterns in this area.

We should add a combo bike path and pedestrian path/sidewalk, which would enable safe access by foot or bicycle, from roughly the entrance to Cabrillo Estates to the entrance of MdO State Park (where the horse camp road goes east down into that area). Currently, pedestrians cannot access the park on foot via LOVR. I am astounded and cyclists even try, it is so dangerous around that one curve.

We desperately need a proper sidewalk path along LOVR between Palisades and Monarch Grove elementary school. Unless you are OK walking in the bike lane along the busy artery of LOVR, pedestrians are forced to go up into the Highland/Lilac neighborhood, or else go way down towards Sweet Springs and back up into town.

We need protected bike paths for families to ride on with young children.

Please do not widen this road for the sake of infrequent traffic, I regularly drive on the road and significant traffic is rare. We would better spend our money and space investing in a viable transit route or better bicycle protection in this space.

Transit from Los Osos is nearly unusable. I would love to be able to take the bus for half of a bus/bike trip, but the headways are incredibly long and the routing through Morro Bay both directions is inconvenient. Los Osos should have a realistic transit option to SLO.

I regularly ride my bike and walk to the stores here and it is an unpleasant experience. We dedicate a huge amount of land to automotive use, signaling to drivers that it is OK to drive fast here, then put up signs saying 25mph and ask them to comply. We should reimagine the LOVR corridor to separate vehicles from other uses and to prioritize pedestrians and cycles.

Cars frequently use this route to access Bayview Heights and Highland. Any calming measures on LOVR should consider and prevent/mitigate traffic being pushed to these residential roads.

Parking is limited and vehicles are often parked on the street which leads to drivers passing folks getting out of their vehicles at high speed. Providing additional parking and the removal of parking along this corridor would increase safety.

Passing on blind turns is frequent, significant road improvements would be warranted (especially as the road is slowly failing bit by bit), but signage to discourage passing on blind turns at a minimum would help.

I ride my bike into MDO from Los Osos and riding up this road can be frightening! Last time I rode into the park a pedestrian remarked to me that we need a protected bike lane and pedestrian path and I agree!

There should be a walking path for pedestrians along this area. It is unsafe for families and elderly to walk to the community center, library, or local shopping.

The merge lane does not need to go but expanded. If the turn lane started its turn earlier it can be pulled away from the LOVR traffic lane and allow a more typical onramp style merge lane to be created. This will be safer for drivers on LOVR and those merging on to LOVR and to bicyclists. The fewer decisions that drivers must make or obstacles they need to track at one time the safer the intersection will be.

Cyclists from San Luis Obispo would ride into Los Osos and Baywood to dine, drink and recreate much more if LOVR were made safer for bikes. With the growth of e-bikes, even more people would probably make the short trek in the future.
