Comments for “Safe Streets for All San Diegans Virtual Open House - Jornada de puertas abiertas virtual "Calles seguras para todos los habitantes de San Diego" COMMENTING CLOSED (COMMENTARIO CERRADO)”

This is a very busy intersection on University where lots of pedestrians and bicyclists are crossing from one side of Hillcrest to the other. With the 163 on ramp around the corner, there are too many cars pushing through here, especially folks making right turns off university onto 10th. Remove the right turn slip lane (make it a pained bus only lane with the bus stop right there), prohibit right turns on red, raised crosswalks to be added along with pedestrian bulbouts to shorten the distance peds have to cross (six lanes N/S and up to seven lanes E/W). Remove right turn slip lane from University to 10th (turning north) to improve safety for bicyclists in the bike lane and shorten ped crossing distance.

With the 163 on/off-ramp, this corner in the heart of Hillcrest is incredibly busy with both cars and peds/bikes, and yet is a super wide (7 lanes E/W and 5 lanes N/S) with no pedestrian bulb outs or any other pedestrian safety measures. Cars regularly block the crosswalk as they try to push in when the light turns red, so we also need more traffic enforcement here to stop that. No red light right turns should be permitted here and greater pedestrian lead crossing time should be added.
-
Great bike facilities have been added to reach Park Blvd/C Street, but connection through/to city center is needed due to speed and congestion during am/pm commute times. C Street's single vehicular lane seems a great opportunity for a bike/pedestrian (trolley) boulevard.
-
This area on 6th is a depression, meaning cars going both ways are going downhill and cars speed well above the 30 mph speed limit. Reduce speed limit to 25 mph and remove the second car lane in both directions and replace with bike lane, parking and a center turn lane. Lots of pedestrian traffic between Hillcrest business center to the north and Balboa park just south of here, and there is a large senior living facility right here, meaning lots of older folks getting in and out of their cars here and its very dangerous given the speed and lack of space.
-
Stop sign needed. Cars have no stop sign on third or second, meaning they hit high speeds at the top of this hill as they travel west, but because of the downhill from 2nd to 1st they can't see pedestrians well enough and have too much speed by the time they hit 1st.
-
This busy intersection on first, which has a lot of cars travelling north from downtown each evening when there are lots of pedestrians moving around, needs crosswalks on three of the four sides. Remove the right hand slip lane from walnut (traveling west) to 1st (traveling north) because it encourages cars to not stop, makes the pedestrian crossing unnecessary long, and there's not enough traffic coming from that direction to warrant a slip lane.
-
Due to the hotel valet on this corner, there are lots of cars blocking the crosswalk at all day hours. Need to implement no parking within 20 feet of the corner per state law, and at least put the plastic bollards around these corners to ensure pedestrians can safely cross without being blocked by all the cars.
-
Lights down Ash are synced, resulting in cars on this residential road (tons of apartments already built and more being built currently in this area) speeding through well above the 35 mph limit, which is already much too high for this residential street. Lights should be de-synced to stop drivers, one of the three lanes should be removed (fine to make this parking to add more street parking to the area) to make it feel less like a wide highway. Reduce speed limit to 25 mph.
-
Stop sign needed here. between Laurel and Spruce is over 1/2 a mile and no stop sign or stop light means cars get well above the speed limit of 25mph. Proximity to both the Quince Street Bridge and the Spruce Street Bridge, both part of the popular 7 Bridges Hike, means high pedestrian traffic in this area.

Bike lanes and improvements along Pershing are beyond fantastic! Feel so much safer biking it. Thanks!!! (would love more separated bike lanes around town, especially with this much attention to trees/landscaping)
-
Biking from College Area to downtown or any central neighborhood (without wanting to risk riding on El Cajon Blvd the whole way) requires going the wrong way up this little one way stretch of Monroe. A short bike lane connecting Monroe through this intersection with Aldine would go a long way to extending the Meade bike lane further east to a couple more neighborhoods
-
Montezuma feels like a logical stretch for Slow Streets. It would make it safer for students walking/biking to work, and would also make the school and the surrounding neighborhood feel more connected rather than separated by a car-focused thoroughfare.

Incomplete bike lanes. 3-4 very wide car lanes leave plenty of room to designate bike lanes along ALL of Palm Ave. Besides, the rightmost lane is often used wrongfully as a straight AND right turn lane. If there was enough signage, there could be a safe bike lane for cyclists and designated right turn lanes instead of cramming cyclists, right turn drivers and straight drivers all in one wide unclear lane. Complete and connect bike lanes along Palm Ave!
-
The bike lane to cross the I-5 is the scariest thing I’ve ever rode on, and I bike everywhere! The bike lane is completely disconnected from the rest of Palm avenue, and the high speed at which cars enter the highway is so high, it makes it incredibly unsafe for cyclists to use the bike lane to make it over the I-5 and hop on the MTS station at the Palm Avenue Transit station with Hollister St. Please reduce speed limit, complete and connect bike lanes on Palm Ave, and build protection for bike lane at the I-5 crossing/ Palm and I-5 intersection. It will increase safety and facilitate transit through the MTS.

Bike lane on West University Ave suddenly stops at the corner of University and 6th Ave. Bikes have to share the lane with traffic that is waiting to take 6th to get on the freeway. There used to be a dedicated bike lane, but it seems to have been erased.
-
Bike lanes on Fairmount would connect the Meade Bikeway, the Landis Bikeway, and the bike lanes on Fairmount that suddenly start/stop on Fairmount & Poplar/Redwood.
-
Middle school students and parents need more visibility crossing the street. Curb extensions would make students more visible to drivers.

People speed up and down the hill all the time. I would like to see a 4-way stop sign or roundabout at Brandywine and Trenton, in addition to 2 speed humps a block away from the interaction. A speed hump at Moultrie will be where the hill is less steep. A hump east of Trenton would be before the curve, possibly at the top of the hill.
-
Lots of speeding down the hill by my house (3547 Brandywine). Speed bumps or dips are needed to slow people down. Many high schoolers are flying down the hill after school is out. Also, lots of people speeding down at night with less traffic at 45mph or more. The road is in horrible shape anyways and needs repaved.

South travelling traffic has difficulty turning left over railroad tracks because north travelling traffic blocks the intersection. Paint "Don't Block the Box" markings on the northbound lane.

If you implement the proposed right turn only lane at West Harbor and Market, which makes sense because West Harbor traffic lights stay green when the trains are passing, and people wanting to turn on Market have to stop then making a right turn only lane onto Kettner also makes sense.
