Comments for “Portsmouth Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan”
-
Bike lane should be continuous along Middle Street into at least Court Street
-
bike to town, wish bike lane went all the way down middle street
-
Create a bike route on this street off of Middle Road to get to the rail trail. From Middle taking a right onto Essex, then left onto Melbourne . That will bring you opposite entrance to rail trail.
-
The angle of the tracks is dangerous to cyclists, especially to those with narrow tires or smaller wheels. This crossing sees a lot of traffic so there is a lot of space between the rails and the asphalt, adding to the risk of a fall. The problem is only on the outbound lane; inbound the angle is less severe.

Is it possible to add sidewalks to make this area walkable? could be great for attracting businesses to such a great location close to downtown
-
It would be great if there were a way to cross the bypass at this point - traffic light, crosswalk, remove divider
-
No sidewalks or good lighting, making this a bit dangerous for kids walking to NFS from Maplewood, and for PMS students walking from Myrtle ave to the bus stop on Maplewood. Particularly in the winter and in the snow.

There is an access to the high school at the end of Rand Court and this is used by students, and walkers on a daily basis. It is also access to cross the South from Rand for the six residences on South and Rand. There is no crosswalk and adding this should be a priority for safety.
-
There is no sidewalk on the south side of the street between Union and Lafayette. This makes it difficult walk or run along the street and a problem to cross with nobody driving at 20mph with only crossings at Union and Summit.
-
In addition to extreme danger for cyclists and pedestrians due to lack of protected or designated travel lanes to any nearby facilities, traffic is hugely disrupted at St Patrick school on Banfield throughout the school year. Most parents pickup and drop off students over two two-hour periods, morning and afternoon — coinciding with rush hours. There can be backups each way for a quarter mile or more with no direction or controls on Banfield. A rise next to the school obscures the entrance and stopped cars for traffic headed north, increasing crash potential.

Sometimes cars park on Middle Street just south of Aldrich, making the sight line difficult when turning left onto Middle from Aldrich. Can the parking start further south from the corner?
This is much better now that the cars aren't parking in the middle of the road. That was very dangerous for bicyclists, residents, pedestrians, and motorists. Those sightlines blocked everyone's view. -
Quiet roads connecting Maplewood bike lanes to Rockingham bike bridge. Wayfinding signage would help.
-
Is it possible to connect the upcoming residential development at iHeartRadio to the the Jones ave walking trails and High School? What a great route to school, and imagine a future Sagamore Creek walking loop including UFC!
-
Greenleaf is a shaded, low traffic bike route out of town (and far better than Lafayette). When the Peverly Hill side path is built Greenleaf will see more bike traffic between the Lafayette bike lanes and skate park, greenway, Elwyn Park, Y, and Community Campus fields (especially if access is allowed behind DPW).

Surprised there aren’t any bike lockup /bike parking areas along Islington like we have around the historic district center. Would be really helpful for visiting local business like the dentist, cafe kilim, etc. People just usually lockup to street signs and trees but I don’t think that is really the intended method by the city.

The city just proposed removing a lane here at PTS. The project also proposed increasing the lane widths from 10' to 13' to aid turning truck traffic. How is it that 10' and 11' wide lanes work in every other city but not here?
13' lanes are a critical width that encourage bad behavior from drivers to pass bicycles when they don't have enough space to do so safely.
If the goal is safety and preventing trucks from jumping the curb, bollards near crosswalks are cheap and effective...
-
Challenging to walk or bike across. Cars coming off Hodgeson can cut corner when making right turn. Need bump out to slow turning traffic and head start on crossing signal.
-
This is a dangerous crossing. If you are heading to town on the new trail along Borthwick there is limited visibility to the left and cars coming from 95 will come flying around the corner hugging the curb. Need a bump out to slow turning traffic. Crossing is not properly marked with hatched lines. Pedestrian island would be good as well.

Sidewalk to Lafayette

Sidewalk to Lafayette

Sidewalk up Greenleaf to Lafayette
-
Could we get a crosswalk here?
-
Would love to see an improved path from Ledgewood to the HS to walk and bike (as a way to avoid Jarvis Dr)
-
Great bike lanes on Outer Maplewood, wish they continued into town.
-
Great new trail! Wish it continued across Bartlett.
