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)”
-
Speeding on this street is out of control. Because the wide lanes are flanked by (faded) bike lanes it just makes the lanes feel extra wide and cars routinely go 45mph on this road.
-
Vehicle traffic is bypassing traffic controls on University by using Wightman st. which many cyclists use to go between City Heights & Northpark/Downtown. Suggest making Wightman a slow street (like they do in PB) so cyclists & walkers have a safe area. Cars on Wightman ignore the stop signs & travel at high speeds to get to the freeway entrances resulting in a very dangerous situation for those not in vehicles. There have been several crashes including one involving a pedestrian youth. The children of City Heights deserve safety as much as their neighbors in richer neighborhoods. A slow street would allow greater access to the local parks & better health for residents including decreasing CO2 outputs by a school.

There needs to be a safe way to access the SD bike path without having to cross a dangerous freeway.
-
Cars speed down Kettner blvd to get to the freeway
-
Drivers literally go twice the speed limit over the Cabrillo beidge making beautiful Balboa Park hostile to pedestrians and bicyclists.
-
The road curves too close to where parking ends and cyclists get squeezed between speeding cars and parked cars.
-
The flex posts on Nimitz blvd are constantly destroyed by reckless drivers. Obviously they are inadequate to protect bicyclists in the bike lane. They need to be replaced by concrete barriers.
-
The bike lane on Nimitz disapears for a right turn lane. This causes a conflict between bikes in the bike lane and cars turning right on red. I've been harassed on my bike by road raging drivers wanting to turn right on red. Right on red should be disallowed at the intersection of Nimitz and Chatsworth and the bike lane should extend through the intersection.
-
Pavement not smooth.
Bad for bicycles when traveling SB
On Main St (NC Blvd) and turning
Right onto Roosevelt Ave
(After going under I-5) -
Pavement in bad condition for bicycles when traveling SB on Harbor Dr after crossing Sampson St

The designation of el cajon blvd as an "other principle arterial" is woefully unacceptable.
To say that there are fast car doesn't even begin to tackle the problem. It is entirely built like a highway, connecting the 805 and 163.It is without a doubt one of my least favorite places to be, and is one i spend so little time at these businesses despite living so close. It is difficult to access by every mode of travel. I do not enjoy the sound of 40-50+ mph vehicles; i do not enjoy navigating the mind-numbing intersections. The noise is unbearable.
The 215 bus is not adequately served by the bus "lanes". The combination of a bike and bus lane fails to provide any meaningful safety for biking or efficiency for buses. It is all because there is so much over-engineered traffic infrastructure meant for promoting high speeds.
-
This is without a doubt one of the worst, over-complicated intersections in San Diego. This is one of the biggest hurdles to accessing resources while walking, biking, transit, and even while driving.
It is a major bane on mobility. It needs to be redesigned, removing these nonsensical massive intersection traffic signals for lower cost options that promote slow steady speeds.The use of this intersection to manage high speed traffic makes for one of the most hostile places in our neighborhood.

Park Blvd is a very popular destination but its quality and enjoyability are diminished by the high speed traffic.
People should not need to compete with high speed vehicles just to reach the other side of the street. This is a clear example of car-prioritizing infrastructure degrading local communities by promoting high speed traffic.
In the short-term, low-cost measures should be taken to immediately slow down traffic.
Long-term, Park Blvd should become more plaza oriented. The entire street should be flattened and paved with brick or non-asphalt type material. This would eliminate the hard separation of space for people to exist versus the space dedicated to high speed traffic.It is painful watching how many people barely fit outside of Bahn Thai restaurant, considering that they take up the space of only one of two car parking spaces. It is a wildly inefficient use of space that could be otherwise dedicated to promoting community gathering, creating a welcoming and inviting space.
-
Drivers speed on North avenue. This street needs slow streets infrastructure setup.
It should be limited to "through traffic", as drivers speed on Meade Ave and then make sharp high speed turns, making it unsafe for people.
-
Intersections like Monroe and North ave are simply far too wide and dangerous. It promotes high speed driving and makes it difficult to cross.

Etched rumble strips would be the most cost effective method of traffic calming. They would not slow emergency vehicles, like the traffic department attitude towards my pleas for traffic calming on my street. If you spend any of the federal grant, don't waste on other useless smoke screens. Buy a street etching machine or whatever it takes. Other cities like Coronado have speed bumps, which would slow emergency vehicles; but etching in the pavement would not. Just two weeks ago, my dog was hit by a car as we attempted to cross the street on Cannington to the I-805 bikeway. The trauma, pain and misery was more than the $2500 ER visit and $5500 surgery. I made a $10,000 claim against the City since there was no signage, painted bikeway crossing, or other traffic calming. The resident who watched my trike while I got my van said it has been a constant problem, affecting her granddaughter, and others for the some 20 years she has lived there. I have resided at 4365 Mount Abernathy for 20 years plagued by roaring motorcycles and loud boom boxes racing past my bedroom as they zoom off Balboa to cut over to Clairemont Drive. Mount Abernathy Avenue is heavily used by pedestrians, bicyclists, dog walkers and kids going to school. There also needs to be a radar speed flashing sign like on Charger and Chateau. Thank you.

Etched rumble strips needed going through residential area. Etching would not impede emergency vehicles like speed bumps. Also radar flashing sign like on Chateau and Challenger. For 20 years here, motorcycles and loud boomboxes roar past my bedroom. Mount Abernathy is heavily used by pedestrians, bicyclists, dog walkers, and kids going to school.

Busy intersection with poor lighting and lots of traffic coming off the 805
-
I never cross the road here, it terrible road design.
-
Adams Ave through Normal Heights has cars speeding; this section is a commercial area that has people walking around and not some freeway. Require infrastructure to slow down traffic and make it safer for people outside of cars.
-
Crossing 32 on the south side of Adams is always difficult as there is lots of traffic heading to the 805. Require leading pedestrian interval or something to improve safety.
-
This intersection is a busy area of pedestrian activity with all of the bars/restaurants and requires improved way for people to safely cross the street.
-
There are traffic lights here but there are a number of issues to be addressed. 1 Timing: push the cross button and you have to wait several minutes to cross 2 Leading: require that Leading Pedestrian Interval
-
There is a four way stop here and no one ever stops; lots of traffic heading to Van Dyke Ave.
-
Orange Ave is a straight away with no stop signs and cars speed; it is extremely difficult to cross Orange as there is no infrastructure to help out (cross-walk)
