The city should construct a crosswalk that connects the neighborhood to Yuma Lutheran. Along with the crosswalk, there should be a school zone in place as well. Traffic calming measures should be in place like speed bumps.

The city should build a safe crosswalk here to give people the opportunity to cross from the apartments into the nearby shopping center. Currently no crosswalk exists.

The city should build a multiuse pathway here as many students coming from the high school walk to the gas station. It might also be prudent to add some bike lanes here that are separated from the roadway itself.

The city must build some form of pedestrian crossing here, as students have to usually run across a very busy street during when school is going in and out of session. Traffic is always very fast, and pedestrians are putting themselves in great danger of being ran over.

The city needs to add a crosswalk on the eastern side of the intersection so that people don't have to cross the street twice.

I think the city should implement an official pedestrian crossing here, as a lot of people have to usually run across or wait forever for traffic to clear.

I believe an interesting idea for the city is to renovate the old railway bridge here into a new multiuse pathway connection between the neighborhood to the Yuma Crossing Bike path route nearby.

I believe the city should consider building a roundabout here as traffic always gets very backed up onto Gila Street as people attempt to turn left onto Giss Pkwy.

I believe the city should implement a 4 way stop here like it did with the intersection at Avenue C & County 8 1/2. Traffic can get stuck turning left from 3rd st, and high-speed traffic heavily discourages pedestrian crossing.

The Pedestrian light is amazing here! I think the city should add a pedestrian island at the center of the street because it is still pretty unsafe to cross here though.

The city should implement more traffic calming measures at this intersection, so pedestrians have an easier way to cross Avenue A. Traffic is always extremely fast and very busy.

There are no official crosswalks crossing 21st drive in-between Gary Knox and the Main Library. The city has a median already here, so installing a small crosswalk with some flashing pedestrian signs could help encourage safer crossings for young students at the school and people at the library.

No official crosswalks exist to connect the park to the rest of the surrounding neighborhoods. I think a small roundabout would be great here as to keep traffic flowing while constructing a way for other modes to move through.

Currently there is no safe bus shelter or place to wait for the bus on these two stops. I think an accessible bus stop that is level with the bus doors, and some shade would be great in promoting the bus route and giving people more ways to stay cool around here. The stops should also include bike racks/storage so people in surrounding neighborhoods can bike to these stops and to integrate it with the nearby multiuse paths. There are also no official crosswalks to get across the street.

The City and Desert View Academy should partner together and create a safer pedestrian environment for children crossing over 16th st. Currently the only safe place to cross the street is to walk out to Avenue C and back, which is very indirect and unsafe because of the exposure to heat and proximity to high-speed traffic. Whether this is through a crossing guard or some form of protected crossing, something is definitely needed here.

I think the city should place a small roundabout here to slow traffic down on Avenue C and to giving the ability for students to be able to get into the roadway without backing up traffic.

The city should reimplement the pedestrian island in the center of W 32nd st, as there is no barriers/protection from fast moving vehicles while crossing. I believe building a longer median will help give more alert to drivers as well, and making sure vehicles don't crash head on into the barriers.

The intersection of S 33rd Drive and 16th st. has a lot of issues with traffic turning left into the roadway at busy times. There is also a hard time to cross for pedestrians. I believe turning this into a safer intersection by implementing something along the lines of a roundabout.

Cars traveling eastbound on E 32nd St will stop and cross over the double yellow lines to make an illegal U-turn. At times it's several cars or even motorhomes which causes the left lane to be blocked.

Many years ago it was proposed that an outer loop be created to connect the western portion of Yuma to interstate 8. This would relieve the East/West arterials of 1st, 8th, 16th, 24th and 32nd. The Southern loop was completed with 195 and the widening of 95.

More areas with shade at the bus stops - better view of the maps/routes for the disabled -. Better areas the disabled can roll their walkers/ wheelchairs on. Schedule on-site visits with local officials, businesses to get the list of needs for every city listed. Along with the input of community members of all the area served.

Traveling on Pacific Ave from 13th St to 8th St via bicycle to meet up with the Yuma Crossing Bike Path (Colorado River Levee - multi-use path) is currently not a safe stretch with the lack of a shoulder and need to cross the road to find a suitable "off-road" shoulder to ride on currently.

Using the unused "filled in" B canal 3.7 lateral to create a multi-modal pathway going from E. Palo Verde St. in the south to Kennedy Park in the north and continuing north to meet up with Redonda Center Dr. in the north would help to complete the multi-modal loop around Yuma.

8th Street from Pacific Avenue to Giss Pkwy. and continuing to Avenue B does not consider bike safety.
