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)”
-
Despite the new stop sign at this intersection, drivers roll through and fail to stop completely. Pedestrian traffic is frequent here between the buildings on the Scripps Campus and to/from Parakeet Cafe. The intersection needs a painted cross-walk and a pedestrian x-ing sign.
-
Despite the flashing cross-walk here, it is very dangerous to cross Adams Ave. On weekends and at night, this area has heavy pedestrian traffic and it is not well-lit and dangerous for pedestrians. This area would beneft from a stop sign or traffic light because the pedestrian flashers are not sufficient.
-
This is another dangerous point on East Mountain View where it is difficult to cross and difficult for cars to emerge from Eugene.
-
We would love an urban trail from Normal Heights down to the River Park in Mission Valley.
-
This intersection is a nightmare. Cars ignore the stop sign on the Northbound side of East Mountain View. Cars speed Southbound down 35th, some splitting off to Mountain View and crossing the center line haphazardly. There are curb-cuts at all 8 sides of the intersection indicating that it's safe to cross for pedestrians and rollers, but there is no cross-walk at any point across 35th or Mountain View making it very dangerous. The large expanse of asphalt is a prime location for a traffic/pedestrian island to provide a safe crossing and some community beautification, plus traffic calming.
-
Provide a way for pedestrians and bicyclists to travel through the canyon to connect Mission Valley to the Normal Heights/City Heights/Kensington neighborhoods. Such a route will be very useful when the new bridge over the SD River provides connectivity to Fenton Parkway.
-
bicycling through the Aldine traffic is hair-raising and discourages use of a convenient east-west corridor for bicycling.
-
Remove or move the raised barriers under the Hwy 5 that present a hazard for bicyclists!
-
This difficult climb discourages bicyclists and pedestrian/runners from using an otherwise good connection east/west. Sidewalks and Sharrows are needed for at least the uphill section.
-
This significantly steep section of Upas is daunting for bicyclists, though the route can provide important connectivity. Two suggestions: a sidewalk for the uphill sections for bicyclists who cannot ride up, OR a very expensive system for bicyclists to be pushed up the incline via machinery. Ask me about existing systems on other countries.
-
Bicycling access through Balboa Park provides important connectivity for east-west travel. Sharrows and/or something to warn everyone that there will be bikes would be helpful.
-
The Sharrows along Adams Ave have reduced harassment from motorists to zero. THANK YOU!
-
33rd to Orange to 32nd st provides a favorite North South connection across the 805
-
West, North, and East Mt View Drive is very popular for avoiding the Adams Ave business district and for leisurely bicycling, running, and walking. Sharrows or a Bike Lane (outside of the Door Zones) would increase safety, comfort and usefulness.
-
The Mountain View drives are very popular for leisurely bicycling, running, and walking. Using N. W. & East Mt View Drive provides a comfortable alternative to Adams Ave business district. Shared Lane pavement markings/Sharrows or actual Bike Lanes (though not "Door Zone" ones) would enhance the usefulness and comfort of this route by showing motorists that bikes may be present.
-
Despite being between busy business plazas, this section of Jewell is treated as a race track. This makes it feel even more unwelcoming to active travelers as they navigate from one massive parking lot to the other for shopping.
-
Haines' biggest challenge is crossing Grand Ave. I recommend a ped crossing light that turns RED, and restricting vehicles crossing Grand (going straight across on Haines)
-
Haines would be an excellent Community Slow Street. It is already a Bicycle Boulevard thanks to it's PB Pathway designation. Like Jewell, it runs next to the large apartment complexes and our most dense population centers that are great sources for active travelers. Haines' biggest challenge is crossing Grand Ave. I recommend a ped crossing light that turns RED, and restricting vehicles crossing Grand (going straight across on Haines)
-
Jewell would be an excellent Community Slow Street. It is already a Bicycle Boulevard thanks to it's PB Pathway designation. Connection from Crown Point to shopping plazas and northern pathways. Signals at intersection with Grand and Garnet. South of Moorland is narrow with slow vehicle traffic natually, and wouldn't need intervention.
-
Any chance we can build a pedestrian access bridge to the trolley going through Magnolia Ave? There are several TOD developments going up in this area, and moving active travelers away from the horror show that is Mission Bay Dr & Garnet would benefit everyone.
-
A pedestrian/bike bridge between South Mission Beach and OB would be an amazing upgrade for the accessibility of these communities.
-
Reed is a good candidate for a Community Slow Street. It is already designated as a Bicycle Boulevard thanks to it's PB Pathway designation, but only has some signage as infrastructure. Access to library and beach. Safer than PB Drive and Grand, which can support the vehicle traffic. Missing intersection control or priority in key places (Everts, Dawes, Gresham should have 2-way stops flipped to support the Pathway priority flow).
-
Garnet Vision Pedestrian Promenade - There was a community project in ~2017 looking at pedestrianizing west of Ingraham (alt, west of Fanuel), or making it one-way for vehicles. To start, move the weekly Farmer's Market to Garnet. This has long been supported by Discover PB (BID), but MTS was traditionally a barrier (requires a bus detour).
-
There is no safe way for bikes to continue north on India St. There is also no safe alternative since there are no protected bike lanes on Pacific Highway.
-
Crosswalks should be marked on all sides of the intersection and there should be a leading pedestrian interval.
