-
Bike trail from High Springs to Newberry
-
142nd St is narrow and littered with debris on both sides causing it to become a one lane road in areas. People drive too fast for these conditions.
-
No speed bumps and no stop signs. People speed every morning. Not safe to ride bike on this stretch
-
98th St. is so poorly maintained that the road is now a series of poorly patched potholes. The patchwork quickly comes away from the hole, and the roads continue to deteriorate. This is a road that leads to schools, residences and places of worship. This should be a priority road to repair as it also connects two main roads that are critical when there are accidents on Newberry, 39th or I-75.
-
Surge Area drive needs a bike/walking path. The bus stop on Archer Rd. Needs a safe way for people to access the museums, Natural Area and sports fields without having to walk or ride in the street around the curvy road.
-
235A from Santa Fe High School to 236 is in such poor condition for students and homeowners to have to drive on it.
-
the trail curb is not flush with the crosswalk and causes wheeled traffic to scoot left (or west)
-
in order to use the flashing cross signal, cyclists have to dismount their bikes or carefully maneuver over to the button
-
visibility is not great here and the roundabout is so small it seems to create confusion as to who arrives at the intersection first and who is yielding to whom.
-
through traffic at this roundabout come in at very high speeds, specifically N-S or S-N
-
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.
