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 intersection needs a redesign. Pedestrians can only cross on 2 of 4 sides, bicycles have to cross traffic 2 extra times due to the slip lanes between Park and Normal, and drivers frequently get confused and try to go the wrong way on Normal.
-
This is a busy intersection and I've been nearly hit here multiple times.
-
On Adams, just west of 33rd is a red curb that always has cars parked there while they run into to pickup their pizza. Put in bollards to prevent this so when I cross 33rd other cars can see me.
-
There is a smoke shop on Adams and Wilson that generates lots of traffic which most of the time parks in the crosswalk on Wilson. This is common most evenings. Use bollards to prevent cars from parking in the crosswalk.
-
There is a crosswalk here but it is dangerous; the street is wide, cars are traveling fast and few cars stop.
-
This is a busy intersection and most nights the cars are parked in the crosswalk while people run to get take-out.
-
The sidewalk here is totally blocked ever evening with a pickup; one must walk into the road to get by. This is pretty common and there is zero enforcement by the city; it is after 5:00.
-
Surprisingly, this is dangerous intersections. The area is not that busy, so cars race through the intersection without stopping. Cars that are heading north on Nile street roll through the intersection and are looking west for on-coming cars; never even looking for pedestrians.
-
There is a cross-walk on Adams by Hawley but it is dangerous; one must cross 5 lanes of traffic, cars are racing on Adams and most cars do not stop for the flashing lights. There is a school a block a way and it is common to see kids waiting for cars to stop.
-
This is a great bridge to cross into North Park, there is not much traffic. However, I avoid it as it has become dangerous to cross as there homeless individuals living out of their cars on the bridge and there is needles and human waste on the sidewalk. Simple solution is to make it a no parking zone to prevent this.
-
W Mountain View is about 80' wide, has not painted crosswalk and as a result is extremely dangerous to cross by walking. The intersection width must be reduced.
-
At the corner of Meade and 36 is a Liquor Store that is busy in the evening and most nights there are cars parked in the crosswalk on 36, north side of Meade. There is the painted crosswalk but it does nothing to prevent cars from parking. It maybe for only a few minutes, but it makes it unsafe to cross the street. A quick fix would be to install bollards.
-
Mission Ave is a good candidate for a community slow street. Restrict to local access so people can get to their residences, but cannot speed through the neighborhood to get between Texas St and Park Blvd. The intersections are dangerous due to the diagonal orientation of the street, they all need traffic calming.
-
The sharrows on Adams Ave are not safe. This street needs actual protected bike lanes. Drivers frequently go well above the speed limit, and either tailgate bikes or pass very closely. Get rid of the middle turn lane and add protected bike lanes instead throughout the entire corridor. This would make it much safer and reduce driver speeds.
-
This slip lane is completely unnecessary. Creates conflict with the otherwise protected bike lane on park. Close the slip lane to cars and make drivers turn right at the intersection instead. This will make the bike lane safer and make it easier to cross the intersection for pedestrians.
-
Buffer bike lanes along 30th St are great. When attempting to cross El Cajon Blvd with young or newer cyclists the non-pedestrian timing is typically too short to clear the intersection.
-
Speeds tend high along this stretch of Catalina Blvd with heavy bike use. Sharrows in the outside lane or other measures to protect particularly uphill (southbound) would be welcome.
-
Need to provide a public ROW here to connect Alabama to Robinson for both pedestrians and bicyclists. Right now the Landis St bike path terminates on Alabama with no bike facilities to connect to Florida, forcing bicylists to travel on University with no bike lanes, having to turn left onto University from Alabama without the benefit of a traffic light so cars are speeding along all four lanes of University.
-
Close proximity of stop controlled intersections at Fern St and Grape St encourage "rolling" stops at a heavily used north-south pedestrian crossing.
-
Add painted cross walk here with ped crossing signs. 163 offramp empties here and this spot is the crossing for the main pedestrian and biking multi-use path through the West Mesa, so tons of conflicts here. Already have the East bound lanes closed, which is great, but need to make clear this spot is a ped crossing for cars speeding off the freeway.
-
Golf Course Dr. sees cut through traffic during am/pm commute times that tends to travel above the speed limit. Lack of pedestrian space creates dangerous conditions.
-
Crossing N/S on the East side here is way too long due to E/W side streets coming down from Georgia St. Narrow Georgia to add Ped refuge spaces, prohibit right turn on red from Park to University.
-
Busy intersection, with Balboa just south and many business in Hillcrest just to the north, as well as many folks living around this area. Due to intersection of Park Blvd, Robinson and Indiana, pedestrian crossing are incredibility long and have no current protection. Add ped refuge islands (e.g. in the space between the two lanes traveling south on Park where the left turn lane splits off from the straight lane), close off Indiana here (still accessible just one block south on Park and a short block east on Robinson and around the corner)
-
Buffer Bike lanes between Beech St and Ash St (south end of facility) often are ignored during Albert Einstein Academies' am/pm drop-off and pick-up times causing dangerous conditions for young and experienced bikers using the lanes.
-
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.
