Farming equipment often uses the bike lanes and tracks significant debris into the bike lane. This can cause instability for many riders. In the rare times that a farm vehicle is actively using the bike lane/shoulder a cyclist must enter the highway and share the lane with vehicles traveling 60+MPH.

I have noticed that traffic in this section got notably faster after widening it and restricting parking in recent years.
?If you build something that looks like a freeway, chances are people will drive on it like it?s a freeway??something to keep in mind as changes are considered for areas

The bike lanes on LOVR need to be physically separated from the vehicle traffic. This is the only option for people to bike into SLO from Los Osos and it is not safe. Vehicles are traveling 60+MPH and are often not staying in their lane. Cyclists, runners, and pedestrians are 4 feet away from certain death. It's completely unacceptable infrastructure and we can do better.

We do NOT want anything to do with an overblown pedestrian crossing / traffic control mechanism at this intersection! Please do not bring ?big city? to this quiet corner of the county.

There's a drainage grate in the bike lane that reduces the usable space by over 50%.

With the opening of the Alehouse here, there's lots of people crossing LOVR without a crosswalk to get to parking across the street. Consider a crosswalk or at least limiting speeds to improve safety.

vehicles repeatedly pass bicyclists at these blind corners. There is not enough room for two cars and a bicycle. Not many motorists are yielding to bikes along Pecho. It can be a scary road to ride a bike on for sure.

The Pecho multi-use path just empties out into Pecho surrounded by eucalyptus trees. This is extremely unsafe and really should be addressed somehow.

This crosswalk should have a signal. Cars do not stop for people who are waiting to use the crosswalk, vehicle speeds are 40+MPH at this point (with houses along this road). This is not a safe crossing for a vast majority of people.

The eastbound bike lanes are non-existent with parked cars. A biker must either avoid LOVR entirely or risk entering the traffic lane with cars traveling 40+MPH.

A bike does not trigger this light. If you are hoping to cross LOVR or turn onto LOVR heading into Los Osos, you must scoot over to the pedestrian signal and press the walk button.

This crosswalk is not safe. The flashing lights are not obeyed by drivers. Vehicle speeds often are still above 35 MPH at this point and a pedestrian must cross 5 lanes of roadway.

There is no sidewalk here. The vehicle speeds are much too high and people are required to enter the bike lane or walk through the sand of the empty lot.

There is no sidewalk here! There should be a sidewalk on both sides of LOVR. The cars are all going 30+ MPH despite a 25MPH speed limit and people are forced to walk in the bike lane/shoulder.

There should be sidewalks going from LOVR to the community center and the library. Currently you cross the road, then walk up past the skate park, through the park to the community center. The walkability for families to the community center and library are horrible.

Both road and mountain bikes use Pecho to access MDO and the shoulder is almost non-existent. Cars are driving at super high speeds - I've been clipped from side mirror on my handlebars and most of the mountain bike riders I know drive into the park, even when they only live a mile away, because of feeling unsafe on Pecho.

Some kind of traffic calming or some other measure to reduce vehicle speeds would really increase safety. A pedestrian/bike path would be a great start, but substantially reducing speeds for cars really reduces the risk of injury/death for bikers and pedestrians. I worry about people crossing from the unprotected intersections along Redfield Woods, for instance.

I'm against widening the road particularly from Foothill to Los Osos. It doesn't seem like traffic is particularly bad - sometimes you get stuck behind a slow-moving truck or something, but it doesn't really delay anyone substantially. I think creating more passing lanes, for example, would only increase vehicle speeds to unsafe levels.

This entire stretch (Palisades to Pecho Valley) is wildly unsafe for anyone other than drivers. Speeds are way too high and bike lanes are routinely obstructed with parked cars/sand/debris. I see kids walking and riding their bikes to Monarch Grove as well as elderly walkers along here all the time and really worry its a matter of time until someone is seriously hurt or killed.

This signal does not recognize bikes (when trying to cross LOVR on Palisades). When my kids are riding bikes, we have to stop prior to the intersection and move onto the sidewalk to hit the crossing button. Creates confusion with drivers approaching from the rear.

The whole corridor from South Bay to 9th should be limited to 1 lane with extra lane provided for pedestrian infrastructure & protected bike lanes. Car traffic could be congested but it would slow down average speeds, increasing safety for everyone else. Speed limits are routinely ignored throughout this stretch.

Bike lanes from South Bay to Fairchild are very narrow, particularly with the traffic in and out of the Ralphs parking lot. I've repeatedly had to move into the high-speed traffic lanes to avoid buses pulling over and cars inching in and out of Ralphs.

Needed: Safe crossing at Rodman and Pecho Rd. Walkers, equestrians and bikers have to navigate a blind curve and 40+mph MDO traffic to cross Pecho Rd. from Rodman. First, lower the speed limit at Doris Ave. from 40 to 35. Second, a well-marked crosswalk with flashing lights. Third, a radar speed sign to slow down traffic in both directions.

This would be a great place for a roundabout, as the traffic usually isn't very heavy and there's room (it would seem) on the NE and SE sides for a reasonably sized one.

If it turns out that a completely separated bike lane is not feasible, at least having dots or rumble strips to wake up drivers who drift into the bike lane would help. I know someone who was hit and injured on LOVR near Turri by a driver who was tired after a long work shift -- the cyclist survived but was badly injured.
