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

Roads get cleaned up fairly regularly. Bike lanes do not. This causes lots of scenarios where unexpectedly a cyclist either has to throw on their brakes or merge with traffic to avoid a dangerous scenario. Please put more effort into maintaining the pathways for our citizens moreso than you do for non-resident commuters.

Anything short of a mountain bike is likely to be damaged by the nature of the roads in this area, especially near the intersections.
-
How long is a motorist permitted to park in a way that blocks the bike lane? This bike lane is blocked by someone who doesn't know how to park at the hotel on a regular basis.
-
This intersection needs signs in advance slowing people down and shifting the responsibility for safety to the drivers. Too often does someone fly through this crosswalk with little consideration for non-vehicular traffic.
-
Is parking your vehicle across the sidewalk for a prolonged period of time (overnight, all day, etc...) allowed or is that forbidden? I can't tell, but tons of people do it regularly. The location I point to here is a place where it is more often than not blocked for anyone using the sidewalk.

Not since Uvalde have I seen such evidence of a police force quiet quitting than how vehicles behave on this stretch right next to an overfunded police station. Everything from threatening pedestrians with vehicles to reckless driving via speeding and running red-lights. This stretch is the strongest indication that a lack of enforcement is largely to blame.

I have multiple friends with disabilities. An electric scooter laying across the sidewalk means that they either have to get into the road to travel around it, or go around the block to avoid it. I'm so sick of private enterprise making public safety worse with impunity. Make these companies properly park their scooters. Fine people who abandon them irresponsibly. Stop people from using them in inappropriate locations. They all say don't operate on the sidewalk, but that's where most of them operate.

I've been almost hit by multiple people at this intersection. Too many people don't look anywhere but left as they approach intersections so coming into a crosswalk from the right of the vehicle has become quite dangerous. Most less frequent pedestrians don't have any clue about this risk.
-
This road is always covered up by people parked in the bike lane. I bike in along this road as it is by far the "best" way to travel for me due to the topography. I've seen everything from UF Facilities Services vehicles to US government vehicles parked in those bike lanes. We really need better enforcement of laws if we can get there without accosting brown and black people for their skin color.

Are you allowed to turn left in a roundabout? Do you have to stop for people inside the roundabout? Maybe people should be told these things by someone with authority rather than me as I'm panicked cause someone almost hit me and I'm pissed off.
-
How is a crosswalk so close to the police station so dangerous? I've had plenty of instances of almost getting hit here while crossing. This is the intersection where I've seen people with strollers get stuck in the island because of oblivious drivers ignoring the crosswalk signals. Until there are consequences for bullying people with your 2 ton motorized vehicle, I don't think anything will change.

This intersection is one of the most dangerous I've seen in Gainesville for pedestrians. Drivers don't think they should have to stop for pedestrians. They often speed through here trying to make a green light that will inevitably be red at University by the time they get there. I've been almost hit at least a dozen times here.

24 needs to be paved; many rough spots and potholes. Coming from Archer, you can definitely tell when you cross into Alachua Co.
-
Terrible potholes everywhere; entire Hwy needs to paved.
-
Theres no shoulder/ bike lane in this area
Se 15th st is INCREDIBLY dangerous for bikes -
235A and Peggy Road are definitely not pedestrian friendly. You have forced children to walk along Peggy rd because the bus won’t make an extra stop. They’re walking at night on a 50mph road that truckers always miss their turn and go down. It’s so unsafe.
-
Cars speed and are aggressive here along University Ave. it’s makes me feel very unsafe to leave my neighborhood while driving and very unsafe to walk along the sidewalk. There have been many wrecks along here
-
6th and 13 th streets are unsafe for cyclists trying to commute any time of day.

This road as with most roads in the county is dangerously narrow full of potholes and drop offs. I call on an average of three times a month to complain. All that is ever done is very poor patch job that does not last. This road has not been resurfaced in over 40 years.
-
This road needs major improvements including widening and bike lanes. Cyclists use this road regularly creating safety issues both drivers and cyclists

CR337. Needs total re-do from SR26 to county line
-
Sw 170 st from sr26 to sr27/45 needs to be re-done completely
-
Repair roadway. Pot holes are ridiculous.
