NE 8th Ave does not have dedicated bike lanes. It's a very narrow ROW but it would be nice to continue the bike paths from the west.
-
University Avenue should have better pedestrian, cyclist, and transit infrastructure. I think this includes grade separated, protected bike lanes, dedicated bus lanes, and higher quality sidewalks.

break down of bike connectivity between SW 16th Ave - SE 16th Ave and main
-
The sharrow here is not bike friendly
-
Safe walking and biking paths with separation from drivers through the length of Parker rd

MUP or separated bike lane desperately needed on this corridor (NW 8th Ave, between Newberry Rd and NW 34th St). Lots of walk/bike use and two schools, but no bike facility whatsoever. The 5' sidewalk becomes very busy, even hazardous!
-
There is a well worn path through the grass. A paved connection to the trail is needed.

I would love to see the visibility improved (for both pedestrian and motorist) at this intersection.

A lot of pedestrians cross the road in this area either walking to school, or getting to/from the Publix shopping area to the apartments on Tower Road. It seems like a pedestrians are not willing to walk to the intersection to the south with Archer Road to cross or to the north at Tower and 51st Blvd. A crash recently (10/24/24) occurred involving a pedestrian crossing Tower Road, and unfortunately she was seriously injured. Providing some additional high visibility crossings in this area would be a boon to both the school children and the residents in the area. Some additional context: this area is also signed for 45 mph and has a merge lane which has led to some drivers driving more aggressively to pass slow moving vehicles before the merge ends.
