Quiet Zone implementation created a DANGEROUS situation in the right-hand lane of northwest bound West Harbor Drive. Like the new "QZ Crossings" at 5th and W Harbor and 1st and W Harbor, a neon "railroad traffic controlled" NO TURN ON RED sign was added to the level crossing to keep cars from getting trapped on the tracks as a trolley or BNSF train is about to approach. As a CityFront resident, I witness at least two near rear-end collisions per week because people seeking to turn right on MARKET encounter the "No Turn" indicator when the light for West Harbor is otherwise GREEN. People seeking to turn stop as indicated (and must when the RR gates are down), but people travelling 40 MPH (the posted limit) on West Harbor naturally encounter stopped cars in the right-hand lane, on a green light--and then have to slam on their brakes to avoid a REAR END COLLISION. I have been nearly hit three times at this location since the QZ was implemented, and I see near-misses weekly. The SOLUTION would be to make the right hand lane approaching MARKET PL / MARKET ST a RIGHT HAND TURN ONLY LANE, as was implemented at the W Harbor and 5th level crossing. Making this a Right Turn Only Lane will also save gas and reduce pollution--because nearly everyone who is in the lane wants to access Eastbound Market. This will facilitate the right turn on red that most people take here (but which becomes impossible when a tourist wants to continue forward on W Harbor and causes people to have to wait for a trolley to pass when they could have otherwise turned right on red).

“Unimproved” alley located on Elder Ave between 14th st and Granger Street. Frequent dump site by unhoused and “junk haulers”. During rain season the dirt becomes mud and flows into the road. Frequent dust spray during the year. Also needs street lamps. Neighborhood is very dark.
-
This steep section of Talbot St. begins at Concord St., passes the pedestrian crosswalk near Gage Dr., and continues to Evergreen St. just before the Cabrillo Elementary School. Cars race down this hill at very high speeds, and traffic calming in this area would be appreciated.
-
Down Commercial St, there are "OLD" train tracks that caused me to have a very bad fall. With shoes locked in when my front tire got stuck and I immediately went down. It could have been much worse. I'd like to see those old tracks covered. It's happened more than once. So the family across the street says. That morning I was riding west down Imperial Ave fairly early 6:45 - 7:00 am, I thought riding east down Commercial Street that evening 4:45 would be safer, but no. Could have been much worse since I was locked in on the bike.

This crossing here is very dangerous. I’ve almost been run over or crashed into here three times by cars going both ways either onto or off of the 5 and not bothering to look at the traffic light that’s there. Even when driving and taking that left turn onto Rosewood St from Grand Ave, I’m always scared that the cars coming off of the 5 won’t see the stop light. A white van has indeed flown through this intersection once when I was about to turn.
-
frequent speeds in excess of 50 mph around an effectively blind corner if there are any cars parked on Clairemont Dr.
-
From Mission Gorge Rd X Twain Ave to 50th St and Orcutt Ave, this is a big connecting artery for families, bikers, walkers, etc and the 25 MPH speed limit is often ignored. Vehicles fly through this corridor and it needs to be made safer for all of the families with young children and bicyclists and others who use this corridor daily.
-
This is the only part of Mission Bay without an adjacent pathway, and needs a better connecting route for people who want to travel the entire route around the Bay.
-
Sessions park is highly used for passive and active recreation.
-
This is one of the most popular beach access points for local residents.
-
More kids would walk/bike to school if not for the access barriers created by the Grand/Garnet couplet and Ingraham. These roadways divide our community and without measures to address speeds and crossings along these roadways, they will continue to do so.
-
This key bay access point is not ADA compliant
-
This key bay access point is not ADA compliant.
-
This is a key access point to the bay path that has zero ped infrastructure and is not ADA compliant. There is no pedestrian infrastructure in place to support this crossing.
-
Three legs of this intersection are missing ramps and are not ADA compliant due to the location of the storm drains. Putting a bollard in the middle of the sidewalk to keep people from trying to cross the street (see SW corner) does not "solve" the accessibility problem.
-
Drivers consistently run the lights at this intersection, which also has lots of bike/ped traffic. Consider additional crossing treatments or other ways to address ped safety here.
-
Our traffic count data show that more people ride their bikes illegally along the sidewalks on Garnet Ave than use the bike lanes on Grand Ave, because people do not feel safe riding this high-speed road without additional protection. Bike infrastructure is not helpful if no one uses it.
-
There are no marked crossings between Beryl and Diamond on Ingraham, but it is an extremely challenging, high-speed road to cross east/west. We need at least one more marked crossing with additional crossing treatments along this stretch of Ingraham
-
This corridor is a key north/south route, providing access to the bay path, Sessions park, schools, shopping, etc. However, there are no bike lanes, dangerous and confusing crossings, and many challenges to bike/ped access along this route that need to be improved.
-
This is a crossing that any bikers or walkers HAVE to make to access the Balboa Ave trolley station from Pacific Beach. It is also terrifyingly dangerous, especially for bikers. Cars make blind right turns and go extremely fast, and there is no safe room on Garnet for cyclists.
-
This is a key crossing to access the beach, middle school, and east/west points in PB, could use a lead ped interval
-
University Ave bike lanes need to be barricaded. Cars swerve into the bike lane, rush to get a parking spot and almost hit bikers, or back out of spots and almost hit bikers
-
Washington Street needs bike lanes with physical barriers. Cars swerve into bike lanes, especially during sunset/sunrise
-
High speed traffic in this area creates a hazard for pedestrians, especially young children. A roundabout at the intersection would help provide a safer neighborhood to slow down high-speed cars.
-
A round about should be installed here to slow down drivers. This street is on a steep hill that connects Clairemont Drive to Morena Boulevard. Not only is there a school on this street but also many families with small children. There is only a sidewalk on the north side of the street and many drivers exceed the 25mph speed limit going down hill or accelerating uphill. For the safety of pedestrians: children walking to school, parents with strollers, and all others on this road please consider this safety measure
