Improve visibility on all sight lines of intersection.
-
Improve visibility when making left turns from SR 26.

I always struggle when I need to cross this street and wait for the light on that side. The sidewalk is very narrow and uneven, with no shade, and there’s an abandoned building in the background. Why can’t this land be utilized more effectively to make the city a safer and more pleasant place?
-
It’s a very dangerous and unpleasant intersection for pedestrians: narrow sidewalks, heavy traffic, no shade, and cars everywhere—there’s a U-Haul on one side and a car service on the other. The nearest light to cross Main Street is quite far away. There should be more intersections connecting Duck Pond and Pleasant Street.
-
Add a lighted crosswalk to and from the park here. So many people cross that street anyways, might as well make it safer for everyone. While you're at it take down the creepy cop tower that does nothing for the community.
-
Pavement is very uneven. Unsafe to travel at the posted speed limit. needs to be resurfaced.
-
There needs to a be a stop or yield sign on the bike path. If you are driving up or down the road in a vehicle you cannot see parts of this pedestrian path until you are right on it.
-
If you cross 8th Ave here to get to the sidewalk , you have to go into a big wide ditch that is typically not mowed frequently and the weeds are above my knees.

3 NW 24 street has been the site of numerous car accidents. It is sited facing University Avenue barely seen until close by eastbound traffic on University Avenue due to a hill and by westbound traffic on University Avenue due to a bend. There should be reduced speed in the area, as a part of which is a raised pedestrian crosswalk for homes in the area. Many people here walk or bike to to campus, and can’t safely cross one side or another without walking an inconvenient distance for a crosswalk, resulting in a lot of dangerous jaywalking.

I would bike from west to east on Archer if there were a continuous protected bike/walking path. There is one that stops before the I-75 intersection. The health of the community would increase if we could build exercise into our daily routines going to close by stores but it’s not safe. No one will be comfortable biking/walking without a separated path away from speeding cars.

Please make road repair the MAIN PRIORITY of road funding. Our roads are TERRIBLE. Many adjacent and supposedly poorer counties have way better roads than Alachua County.
-
City planes dod not evalute the housing projects hight traffic volume that impact the the community. If you will only see all the near traffic accidents every day you will rethink using your surveys why the community does not walk or bike from tower road to Tioga and beyond.
-
235 and 235A have terrible road conditions and high truck traffic.
-
There is no sidewalk from this point to 13th street. Also no sidewalk on 13th street. There is no sidewalk or crosswalk to cross 53rd to get to homedepot and no sidewalk on 13th until after home depot.
-
Neighborhood Signs:
Share the road Pedestrians, Bikes, Cars -
Reccomend a Pedestrian crosswalk with Pedestrian crossing lights
-
There is no crosswalk to get from the pedestrian path to the park. To use a crosswalk you have to walk up to the 43rd street intersection.
-
This area should reduce to one lane after the turn to the park - give enough road to clear the intersection at 34 but then eliminate the second lane. This road is used as a passing zone with people going 50-60 in a 35. Worse, they start speeding as soon as the cross 34 while still in a school zone.
-
Close this street down to drivers! No need for car traffic here, obvious and intuitive spot for high traffic pedestrian centered, family safe infrastructure instead of constantly dodging drunk drivers.
-
PLEASE put a lighted crosswalk here. Dozens of people cross this street every day and cars rarely stop or yield. I'm sure the police towers y'all put up to surveil the site 24/7 will show just how many people cross this street every day. Spend money on a crosswalk, not the ridiculous panopticon surveillance that no one asked for.
-
6th desperately needs a bike lane or bike path. 4 lanes on 6th st. Makes people drive fast. Many large trucks going over 40. It seems very unsafe to bike on the road.
-
It would be good if university bus routes extended farther north along 13th and 6th st
-
Extend bike path to connect directly to UF campus
-
Add / Improve bike lane along 13th to university
-
6th st. From 39th to university is unsafe for both cyclists and drivers. Ideally would like to see protected bike lanes and changed from 4 to 2 driving lanes with a designated turn lane in the middle. I have been in two car accidents on this road caused by people stopping to turn.
