Comments for “Alachua Countywide Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan/ SS4A Action Plan”

For busy intersections like this that have a lot of cyclist and pedestrian traffic, a leading light for non-motorists to get ahead of the traffic would be beneficial. These are used in other cities to avoid collisions and conflicts between motorists and cyclists and are very effective, cheap, and don't require a large physical change to the existing infrastructure.

This intersection is very dangerous because motorists don't know where they are supposed to be - they crowd into the median opening. Check the crash reports here - motorcyclists have been hit here too. It needs a traffic signal.

This is a dangerous intersection because car drivers have the light for southbound lefts at the same time peds have the light to cross north. The flow is heavy and they do not yield. The light changes before peds can go. This is near the high school and Boys Girls Club

Motorists use this neighborhood as a cut through during rush hour. This would be fine, except most of them speed through the neighborhood and there are no sidewalks, which puts pedestrians and cyclists in danger. The speed bumps are not effective at slowing down the motorists; more effective traffic calming measures would be useful here, like planters or more aggressive speed tables.
-
Truckers are routinely parking big rigs here. It is not zoned for that.
-
No pedestrian-safe or bike-safe way to get from 23rd up 13th to get to Publix and bus routes are difficult to use to get to Publix if you don’t live along that bus route.
-
Need better lighting at these two bus stops. The enclosed bus stop areas also feel hidden and not safe in the dark.
-
Very popular bike route.
-
Entrance of dirt street leave a dangerous debris for bikers

Future sidewalk will be awesome for recreational purposes bike or walk

Very popular bike route for recreation. More signage will be better
-
Some share the road sign will be awesome
-
Traffic calming and improved bike lane infrastructure needed - cars regularly speed 10+ over the limit and invade bike lanes. The bike lanes are narrow, have no high contrast paint or other visual reinforcement leading to unsafe conditions for cyclists.
-
This overpass is frequently used as the only means of walking/biking across I75 without navigating the on and off ramps of nearby exits. However it is very dark at night and there is no separation from traffic.
-
The double lines for bike lanes on 43rd and 23rd are great and really help keep motorists from encroaching. I only wish they were more widely used.
-
This area is an absolute nightmare on a bike. Disconnected and disjointed, motorists are already distracted and disoriented and absolutely not looking for cyclists. And to that the frustration of trying to navigate this labyrinthine testament to man's hubris and the sight of bike racks in the center of a parking lot is simply laughable.
-
The intersection of 235 & 235A is unsafe, several accidents leading to deaths here; also the location is not properly maintained and the immense potholes that form on a regular basis cause drivers to make unexpected movements making it even more unsafe. The short distance between the intersection to the rail crossing also contributes to the problem. Please make this location safer.

Needs a protected bike lane or widen the sidewalks to a multiuse path. The road is way too dangerous for cyclists and using the sidewalk means conflicts with the many pedestrians who use this area, most of whom are younger kids. This would also better connect the north side of GNV to the University, as there are not many options to get there by bike, and fewer still that are remotely safe.
-
Seconding the idea of a multiuse path from 39th to 53rd that allows cyclists and pedestrians to avoid the loud, exhaust-filled, and dangerous 43rd and 34th Streets.
-
Traffic calming would benefit this area greatly. Motorists use this street to cut through the congestion at rush hour, often going in excess of the posted 30mph.
-
This road is an excellent opportunity for a bike lane connecting 39th to 53rd. With lower speeds than nearby 34th, it offers a safer path for cyclists, especially younger students going to the elementary school.
-
The multiuse path needs to be cleaned up, widened, and extended the rest of the way down 53rd. This is a safer alternative to biking on 53rd, which currently is exceedingly dangerous with a narrow and disappearing bike lane and speeds in excess of 60mph.
-
Secured short and longterm bicycle parking would be welcomed at the airport.
