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)”
-
Why is this section of Regents even 4 lanes? it's a very low traffic area, and having such a wide street just encourages speeding and makes this area unpleasant to be in as a cyclist or pedestrian.
-
This intersection is used by tons of students commuting to UCSD by scooter or bike. A left turn is required at Regents and Miramar St. This turn feels incredibly dangerous, as it requires crossing 2 lanes of high speed traffic.
-
Improvements to bike infrastructure along regents road are mostly great! However, this stretch still lacks separated bike lanes. I'd like to see bike lanes separated from traffic by at least delineators for the whole stretch between Rose Canyon and Genesee
-
This is a residential street with a public middle school and shopping center, and the city needs to do something to reduce the speeding and number of accidents on this stretch of road.
Speeding is the norm and accidents as cars turn on from side streets are extremely common. Foothill Blvd (a 2 lane road) has recently received traffic calming measures (a large roundabout) but after Foothill turns into Ingraham street the road widens to 3 lanes where it goes downhill with nothing to slow down the traffic.
-
Crossing Ingraham St is dangerous under the best conditions due to excessive downhill speed of cars going South. Foothill Blvd (a 2 lane road) has recently received traffic calming measures (a large roundabout) but after Foothill turns into Ingraham street the road widens to 3 lanes where it goes downhill with nothing to slow down the traffic. This is a residential street with a public school on it and the city needs to do something to reduce the speeding and number of accidents on this stretch of road. The city's engineering department has already approved a lighted crosswalk but is on the "unfunded" projects list.

Car traffic on Ingraham, especially downhill (Southboound), is too fast. Speeding is the norm and accidents as cars turn on from side streets are extremely common. Foothill Blvd (a 2 lane road) has recently received traffic calming measures (a large roundabout) but after Foothill turns into Ingraham street the road widens to 3 lanes where it goes downhill with nothing to slow down the traffic. This is a residential street with a public school on it and the city needs to do something to reduce the speeding and number of accidents on this stretch of road. I would suggest more speed enforcement, reducing the lanes 1 in each direction with a center median, and adding crosswalks. At least one lighted crosswalk has already been approved by the city's engineering department but is on the "unfunded" projects list.

The roadway asphalt is irregular and has very tall (several inches) sections where it meets the gutter. These bumps, abrupt changes, and large sections of different asphalt height are extremely dangerous to cyclists, especially on a busy road where traffic forces rifders into the gutter.

Besides fast traffic mentioned by others, E. Mission Bay Dr is heavily parked by RVs and Campers, often with "pop-out" portions extending further into the street. This creates poor visibility and narrows the street considerably. The suggestion of a separate two-way bike lane, on either side of E. Mission Bay Dr, would get bikes off this road and somewhere safe.
-
The decades-old bike path, from Grand Ave to N. Mission Bay Dr, needs updating/widening, where possible. It would be best if it followed Rose Creek all the way to N. Mission Bay Dr, as it does two sharp turns, with blind spots next to the boat storage. This path is used by all sorts: road cyclists, students walking home, parents with strollers, etc. The fencing next to the boat storage needs to be just unobstructed chain link, for better visibility at the turn. Or better, take away 20' x 20' from the boat storage so the turn is not so sharp, giving better visibility.
-
Take the right-hand lane of the north-bound Gilman Dr, add concrete barriers, and turn it into a two-way bike lane. Extend from the Rose Creek Bike Path to UCSD. This is much cheaper, and gets around property domain issues/lawsuits that will happen with the present plan (and thus many years away from happening).
-
Heading NE on Expedition Way to UCSD main campus at N. Torrey Pines Rd. There is no crosswalk, nor button to press to get a green light. A bike has to wait for a car going straight to get the light to change, or cross the street 3x in the designated crosswalks, to get to the other side: a very long, slow, process.
-
Massive intersection with lots of bike/ped traffic to UCSD campus and to bus stops. Unpleasant to cross due to large distances and feels unsafe especially with many drivers not stopping for right on red.
-
Drivers treat El Cajon Boulevard like a highway (which it used to be), often going 50+ mph. This is made possible by the excessive width of the road and the distance between intersections. As University Heights and North Park add density, El Cajon Boulevard is becoming a neighborhood Main Street with retail, dining, and housing. High vehicle speeds are incompatible with these uses, and it is a hostile environment in which to be a pedestrian or cyclist. Since street crossings are so far apart, people resort to jaywalking and trying to time a gap in the high speed traffic. We have already lost one of our neighbors here last year while he was trying to cross the street (RIP Josh), and it's only a matter of time before another preventable injury or death occurs. El Cajon needs a serious road diet, and it would be great to make it a Business Shared Street, maybe just with a bus lane and only one lane of vehicle traffic in each direction, which would free up a ton of space for enhanced sidewalk/plaza area. With so much business and density, there is no reason why any vehicle should be going over 25 mph here.
-
This section of Monroe by Garfield Elementary would be a perfect place to install a School Street. There are a lot of drivers who go too fast here and when many children are present it would be good to calm traffic.
-
We need a right turn signal from PHR into CV while the cars from CV turn left into PHR. So that bikes and kids can cross the street safer and there isn’t such a traffic buildup.
-
The bike lane disappears and reappears several times on La Jolla Blvd. This is extreme dangerous because it forces bikes to swerve in and out of car traffic. There should be a continuous protected bike lane the entire length of La Jolla Blvd.
-
There is no safe way to turn left from Mission Blvd onto La Jolla Blvd on a bike.
-
The south side of the intersection of Mission Blvd and La Jolla Blvd needs a marked crosswalk.
-
Sunset cliffs needs a protected bike lane and a real sidewalk.
-
This section of Madison Ave needs traffic calming. Cars go way too fast here - often upwards of 40 mph on their way to/from Texas St and Mission Valley. I have almost gotten hit multiple times here.
-
Roadway is massively overbuilt in this section encouraging frequent excess speeding on residential community street
-
Gap in bike lane forcing individuals into traffic commonly traveling well in excess of posted speed limits and unsafe for potential collisions. Limits ability to use alternate transportation options to nearby stores/restaurants from community.
-
Intersection (though in La Mesa) could highly benefit from roundabout to calm speeds and improve flow.
-
Gap in bike lane on road with commonly excessive speeding. Forces individuals into traffic via ‘sharrows’ and common conflict point with vehicles not interested in sharing space.
