Comments for “Portsmouth Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan”
-
Dangerous to bike due to fast traffic from multiple highway off-ramps. There is space for buffered bike lanes with flex posts. Also space for a multi-use path from Franklin Dr to Rockingham to connect the school to neighborhoods to the North and the bike bridge, to replace the crumbling sidewalk.
-
There should be a sidewalk on both sides of Woodbury, people are always rushing across the road and cars drive way too fast down this section. With the new homes going on and the elderly residents in the apartment buildings there should really be proper sidewalk in place here to connect to the cottage st. sidewalk.
-
Campus Drive needs a sidewalk and bike lanes/path for access to fields and C. Campus. A crosswalk and light is also needed across Lafayette (and hopefully this will come with the DOT project).
-
Sheffield is a great connection between Middle and new bicycle path. Only needs signage. Like many secondary roads in the city, all bicycles need is direction via signs or road markings to let them know how to get from point to point.
-
So why haven't the Middle Street parked car protected bike lanes returned to the original 2018 design? The B-5 City Council is ancient history. The current City Council would approve the original bike lane design 9-0.
-
This is a huge impediment to getting around town via bicycle. Very unsafe and new road won’t slow down traffic. Need separated bike path.
-
Cross walk needed if sidewalk extended down elwyn.
-
The planned elwyn road side walk should be extended to Oakwood and Regina. The houses on oakwood drive are landlocked becuase elwyn road is too dangerous to walk or bike on. A sidewalk on one side of the road should be extended to these neighborhoods to connect them to UFC and the route 1 commercial district.
-
Sunken storm drain is below grade in front of Discover Portsmouth where there is also no bike lane. Safety hazard for cyclists
-
this road narrows at the top of the hill so bicycles have to move into the road. impatient drivers frequently pass bikes in both directions within inches of a bike making a very dangerous situation for bikers.

This area could use a crosswalk.
-
I have noticed that drivers turning left onto Maplewood can have a green light while pedestrians crossing Maplewopod may also have a green light. This doesn't make sense.
-
Speeding is rampant on this section of road and drivers often do not yield to pedestrians in the cross walk
-
Cars headed north on Market St.and turning onto the on ramp often do not yield right of way to pedestrians in the cross walk. This is an uncontrolled intersection and the pedestrian crossing light does not cover theis part of the on ramp.
-
A high percentage of vehicles exiting on exit 7 southbound and turning right onto Market St have a complete disregard for the stoplight. Drivers look left to see if car are coming from that direction and then proceed past the red light and "No right turn on red" sign. Often drivers do not even slow down. Waiting for a pedestrian crossing light makes no difference.
-
this road to Newcastle needs bike lanes and/or sidewalks the whole way.
-
This road to Newcastle needs bike lanes/sidewalks, not just (useless) signs about sharing the road.

Groccery store
-
This is the usual route I take to get to the Kayak launch
-
Great View when headed towards town!
-
Woodbury is avoided at all costs; this place is scary.
-
An important access point to Odiorne and 1A for bikers but quite dangerous with blind curves and speeding car drivers eager to hit an "open" road.
-
An incredible asset to Portsmouth Cyclists, however the pavement needs addressing especially on Ashland RD.
-
This left turn leaves bikes exposed to heavy traffic in all directions. Unclear 1-2 lane intersection leaves drivers impatient as well.
