I don't think there's a speed limit posted here?
-
Separate bike and vehicle lane here
-
More lighting. I feel like I am going to get kidnapped when I walk here.
-
Prefer separated bicycle lane - don't have bikers share the lane with cars
-
More defined crosswalks here!

RE: "super dangerous intersection" (SW 16th Ave and Main Veterinary Medicine entrance) --
When the opposing turn lane is filled, the west-bound left-turners have absolutely zero visibility to see oncoming traffic. Either a large traffic mirror or an officer directing traffic (for only the busy morning commute hour, say 7:30-8:30) would dramatically increase the safety around this intersection. I've a west-bounder myself and I suspect but can't confirm that it's a problem for the east-bounders too. A roundabout is probably too much to ask for, but that would work too especially as drivers seem to get really aggressive in this spot. -
2nd Ave is a bike street, but bikes don't trigger the light to cross Main Street and in order to push the pedestrian crossing, you have to leave the street and then risk getting back in your lane while cars are coming down 2nd Avenue. it's a terrible place to cross on a bike even though it's the dedicated bike street!

some bicycle lanes are in horrible disrepair near the airport

I would like to see a rail trail from the GHT at 234 to Micanopy. 234 is too dangerous!! Bring some DEP money to Alachua County and let's get this built!

Neighborhood between W University Ave and SW 2nd Ave 2800-3400 BLK is a highly used cut through to avoid traffic, vehicles routinely make aggressive left hand turns to cut through neighborhood. At some point, a speed hump was installed on SW 32nd St and a small traffic circle on SW 30th St & 1st Ave. Nothing has been done to slow/reduce cut throughs on SW 28th Terrace. Maybe right turns only onto 28th Terrace and right turns only from 28th terrace reducing traffic, eliminate crossing traffic
-
241 is an extreme example of LACK of safety. Large trucks speeding with extended mirrors, are UNAVOIDABLE. Bridge crossings are worse and must be “shared” with 55-65mph moving traffic.
Going against traffic is the only means of safety, so that one can see oncoming vehicles to walk or bike into grass -
Terrible, terrible road conditions on 235. From alachua all the way to Newberry
-
The two entry roads to Newnans Lake have no walking or biking paths. People walk and bike along both all the time. There is quite a lot of traffic along CR329B (East University). It's dangerous. There are no street lights. The roads are terrible and need to be completely redone -- not just patched or repaved.
-
This bike lane is frequently full of broken glass. I have personally cleaned it occastionally so I can ride from Huntington to NW 43rd Street. Bike lane is also very narrow westbound
-
This road should be a priority so people can again bike to Micanopy without going on 441. Surface is is unrideable. Paved trail would be nice.
-
Bike lane needs to be kept clear of encroaching weeds and grass
-
Bike lane surface is bad, debris and encroaching vegetation, speeding cars, too much traffic. This was to be a rioad that bikes could safelyj use.
-
Maintenance is needed along this stretch of path. Tree branches and vines overhang it, debris covers the path from lack of maintenance. The path itself is cracked, uneven from tree roots and use. Also agree with another comment around the corner on 8th Ave.
-
Dangerous intersection at 39th and 34th. Cars ignore red lights
-
Poor maintenance on this connector road is basically making it just connecting patched holes. All UNeven. Only 3 exits from this entire neighborhood and this connects 2 of them. Grateful it doesn’t flood.
-
The crosswalk here is dangerous b/c vehicles coming out of Publix often turn right on red onto 16th while pedestrians and cyclists have the green walk light. I’ve almost been hit multiple times when on foot or bicycle. Can you make this no right turn on red while pedestrian light is green?
-
Terrible location for people leaving/entering the apartments by foot or bike. No safe crosswalk, speeding cars make it hard to maneuver, etc
-
SUN TRAIL Old FL Regional Connector Trail gap at county line, closure needed to connect trail.
-
Residents at The Metropolitan NEED a crosswalk here! Every time we get off the southbound RTS Bus 13 or want to go to the restaurants across the street, we have to wait sometimes several minutes to jaywalk across the street to get to our apartment. With the density of cars and how fast they’re going on SW 13th street, it is far too dangerous for us to have to do this every time.

Had a friend get hit by a car while on his bike and the car sped off without stopping. Cops were called and they didn’t have a first aid kit and told my friend that they wouldn’t check the traffic cameras because they’re only turned on for gator games.
