I walk this stretch of road with my dog often. Cars go super fast on the stretch becauase there are only stoplights on 16th and 39th.
If another dog comes there is no where for me to go.The grass between the road and sidewalk isn't very wide. There aren't any crosswalks so I can't cross the street. The cars are moving too so fast and I have often waited 10 minutes if I needed to cross. It's not a safe stretch of road.
-
This is an everyday route to get downtown or to UF. I just got car doored here last week while on my bike. Very small space for a cyclist to be inbetween a parked car and a moving vehicle. And extension of the path on 6th up ahead would solve this
-
The streets need repaving.
-
This part of the road can be very dangerous to cross. There is a small hill on either side, and if you're crossing there is hardly any time because it's hard to see the cars coming.
-
Poor lighting, no side walks and a lot of use of residential streets to cut off traffic, causing dangerous conditions for the residents to walk without sidewalks
-
Short sidewalk gap segment (approx 500') would connect existing sidewalks and create continuous pedestrian route between neighborhoods
-
Bad intersection, would be better as a roundabout.
-
We would like a crosswalk across tower rd for easier access to the new playground at veterans park.
-
Sidewalk needed
-
Motorists run red lights and pass bikes and cars when unsafe to do so. Speeding drivers are a problem, too.
-
Dangerous intersection for both drivers and pedestrians. I would recommend implementing a Leading Pedestrian Interval and revisiting the yellow time settings and left turn signal timings/configurations. These recommendations are based on my experience when almost hitting a pedestrian and a couple bicyclists when making a northbound right as well as trying to make a westbound left turn into my neighborhood.
-
No sidewalks. Dog heavy neighborhood and you’ll have to walk/bike in the street and around the Stephen Foster neighborhood. Poorly lit in some areas at night
-
Very dangerous intersection.Please add a traffic light or at least flashing red and yellow lights like before. I witnessed many accidents.
-
Enormous potholes. People try and avoid them and nearly collide over the center or drive off the side of the road trying to avoid them. I have popped two tires driving over potholes on this road.
-
Pedestrians crossing on all entrance/exits of wawas
-
NW 53rd and NW 34th intersection traffic flow would be greatly improved if it were converted to a roundabout. In fact, most of the stoplights along 34th would benefit from this, but this intersection is the closest to my neighborhood and the amount of daily traffic that is backed up during rush hour every day is immense, not to mention the signal pattern here does not seem very intuitive to keep traffic flowing at a consistent rate.
-
Pedestrian crossing cars don't stop for the children crossing the main highway 441. No flashing lights when school is out. No, School Zone signs overhead nor lights. No reduce speed. Nothing.
-
Cars drive so FAST along this stretch of Main St between 10 and 16th Ave. Very dangerous for the many cyclists and pedestrians trying to cross the road.
-
2nd Ave W from downtown to campus has buses pulling in out of bike lane, cars parked in turning lane in middle of road, and many cars traveling faster than the speed limit.
-
Only about 50% of the cars will stop at the flashing light to cross, and almost 100% of the vehicles (including most police vehicles) are traveling in excess of the posted speed limit.
-
I see cars running red lights on University Avenue at this intersection almost every day, and most vehicles are traveling in excess of the posted speed limit.

-
There's always massive potholes on NW 3rd St as you approach University, big enough to send a cyclist or motorcyclist flying. Someone's going to get killed one day. If they're ever filled, they're not filled well and reappear shortly after.
-
There needs to be some kind of pedestrian crossing on Main St. between NE 8th Ave and W University Ave. There currently is not, so to get to a building right across the street (including the Supervisor of Elections Office!), people have to walk all the way down the street and back up. Bikes are fast enough to cross like a car would, but I've seen pedestrians walk across, and it's incredibly dangerous because of how fast people go on that stretch of road.
-
Traffic moving southbound on NW 1st Street & stopped at NW 2nd Avenue, cannot see oncoming traffic (in either direction East or West), be that motor vehicle traffic or bicycle traffic, due to cars parked in parking slots, which obstruct the drivers view.
The driver must proceed forward onto NW 2nd Avenue, past the parked vehicles to see.
This is an unsafe and accident-prone area.
Solution: remove the parking area adjacent to the sidewalks on NW 2nd Avenue.
