Lots of cycling traffic here going to the South Ellerbe Creek Trail — a bike lane would be great!

Each street needs speed humps every 300 yards. Parking is removed and the parking lane converted to a bike lane. Duke street especially at the intersection of Duke and Markham is a drag strip and the only way to slow a drag race is to add speed humps. Traffic calming islands are a waste of money, as it adds to the excitement of speed around the calming islands! Speed limit does not matter as no one on these roads will follow it unless their car suffers from speed humps! Speed humps slow traffic, as stop signs, lights, calming islands do not. No parking allow for a safe bike lane, and each house has a driveway to park cars in. Two lanes moving in the same direction as they do now work yet speed humps must cross the entire two lanes. Bike lane can have cement planted curbs dividing it from the two lanes and can flow in the direction of the traffic. That way cars exiting their driveways only need to focus in one direction looking for bikers/cars. Trees do not need cut because on street parking is now gone which blocks the view! Curbs with plants to protect bikers at the speed hump locations, paint for the bike lanes, and tar for the speed humps and if enough speed humps, problem solved.

Driving down Club so many cars run the red light at Duke street, have joked people think that red light is a suggestion. I have not seen a wreck there, but I’ve seen many close calls. I don’t exactly know how the court would address that but that is a very dangerous intersection.

Vehicles frequently run red lights at this intersection at high speeds, often far in excess of 45mph, causing accidents. I've personally narrowly avoided more than one by waiting 5+ seconds before additional traffic clear.

This area is extremely dangerous for pedestrians: with The Can Opener Food Truck Park now open, folks parking across the street, and cars frequently speeding down Gregson past the blind turn at the can opener bridge, someone is liable to get hit or cause an accident by slamming on their brakes.

Potholes make this area uncomfortable to bike ride on. Drivers also want to go fast so a dedicated bike lane would be extremely helpful.

Sidewalk just ends here - very inconvenient for pedestrians

Bridge could use a bike lane. Cars are going fast enough that it's not safe to ride it into downtown.

Lights should automatically get walk sign instead of having to press the button. Since pedestrians usually ignore this walk sign, if it appears automatically then drivers will be more aware.

Trees block the view of cars traveling down Gregson which are often traveling quickly, making crossing dangerous.

Bike lane running opposite traffic on Vickers would encourage bike traffic into downtown. Currently bikes have to either ride on the sidewalk or divert over 5 minutes travel time to Chapel Hill Rd or Blackwell St to cross the freeway.

People routinely speed down Vickers and not just 7-9 MPH over the speed limit. More like 15 or more over. We’ve had a car totaled (hit and run) while parked on Vickers. So have our neighbors. If you’re lucky, you’ll only have your driver side mirror torn off. That’s a routine occurrence and why people park their vehicles up on the curb.

Pedestrian crossing distance across Willard is wayyy longer than it should be / needs to be. Additionally, there is no safe way to cross W Chapel Hill here.

Sidewalk is needed along the south side of W Corporation at this location. Additionally, the sidewalk along the north side is often overgrown with vegetation during the warmer months.

Why does the sidewalk on the west side of the street abruptly end here? Please extend the sidewalk to create a safe space for pedestrians.

Please provide some sort of buffer between pedestrians and vehicle traffic at this railroad crossing. Drivers speeding down S Duke Street pass extremely close to pedestrians, and it is dangerous and unnerving.

Some of the pedestrian crossing push buttons at this intersection do not appear to function. In the past, I've waited through multiple light cycles without ever being given a pedestrian crossing signal.
