Consider adding sidewalk railings to these three blocks. Pedestrians often cross mid-block and stand on the lane dividers. It's a highly congested area, and they don't realize they're almost invisible to drivers after dark.

The pedestrian crossing lights here are not currently visible to cars driving westbound.

For the new bike lane on the Eastbound side of NE 8TH Ave....
Where the bike lane ends and the right turn lane begins is directly in front of 424 NW 8TH Ave. The building at this address is located approximately 6 feet from the curb. This is far too close for bikes and cars to be crossing paths. This is an occupied building.
Prior to the new traffic pattern, cars would merge sooner, therefore travel parallel to the building. With the new pattern, they change lanes directly in front of and toward the building at a high rate of speed.
The lane change lines should be painted another 20 or 30 feet east down 8th Ave, that way it's in front of a grass field if anything should happen, avoiding risk to innocent bystanders.

Add paved trail on existing NW 34th St. ROW.

Would love to see a rail trail spur to Micanopy. CR234 is horribly dangerous.
-
These connections look awesome. I would love to see more of the intra-neighbhood connections to avoid the major roads.

This intersection is a common crossing point for people in the neighbor hoods. It is currently an unmarked crosswalk. It would be nice if somewhere near here there was a marke pedestrian crossing. Ideally with RRFB an a raised pedestrian island/median in the middle (currently there is an unused portion of a center turn lane near here which could be perfect)

This curve sees a lot of people cross into the paint-only bike lane. And the speed is set to 40MPH - which people treat as a minimum. If the speed was lowered or the lanes narrowed and the bike lanes widened with some sort of rumble strips, bollards, or other protection, that would be amazing. For now, I will and most other cyclists I see will likely continue using the sidewalk instead of the road shoulder.

Please add Utility Corridor Path per Jenn G.
