NE Riverside Road/Loop. this is where I ride my bike for exercise because it is relatively safe from car traffic. Would like an actual bike lane, please. Would bike more if more safe lanes.

Why doesn’t our county have wide biking/walking paths next to farmland and along state highways like our neighbors in rural Polk county?

This intersection is dangerous! blind corner, high speed, left turning traffic, etc. It's a mess.

This road is an important connector from Newberg to other rural low-traffic roads. It is too narrow for bicycles and pedestrians. Add a bike lane!

Please prioritize completing the Yamhelas-Westsider Rail-to-Trail project to connect Carlton, Yamhill, Cove Orchard, and Gastton.

More "caution bikes on road" from Chehalem Glenn Golf Course along Fernwood Rd, Corral Creek Rd, NE Parrett Mountain Rd. to Rilee Park would help make this a safer route connecting this park to Newberg.

Please complete the Yamhelad-Westsider Trail. It is unsafe to travel between Carlton, Yamhill, and Gaston on Hwy 47.

Dangerous intersection for pedestrians and bikers. A three way stop sign could help here. Bikers are very exposed as a high volume of cars is turning every which way. Sometimes I use the lighted pedestrian crosswalk (on my bike) just to cross safely. There is a lack of sidewalk on Villa east side, and the crosswalk is poorly placed for George Fox students and Friendsview residents who want to use the CPRD gym facility.

I ride Newberg to NE Sunnycrest to NE Hidden Springs to NE Red Hills Rd to Worden Hill then down 9th street into Dundee. This is a low traffic area and great workout. There is no shoulder but visibility is good.

S College in this area is rough road, be careful going south down the hill. Also lots of parked cars on the street and dark with tree cover.

It would be great to have a small MTB area at the park here to practice and stay in shape. Similar to the small areas around Portland like Gateway Green Project. Its about 25 acres and is lovely to do loops and work on skills. The park is 320 acres here.

I end up going across 99W at Meridian a lot on my bike. This is because the traffic seems a bit more safe than other options. However, the stop light does not always recognize a bike and at times I need the car behind me to come up closer to trigger signal or I run the red light on my bike after waiting a few minutes. I wish there was 1-2 crossings on 99 North to South that were specifically setup for bikes.

I have ridden out in Yamhill area several times on the gravel routes popular with Yamhill gravel coop. However, I am not totally sure the local people are on board with it because I have had some road rage people in this area even though visibility is great and traffic is low.

The new development here opens up a major route for those in NW Newberg to get through low traffic neighborhoods to mountainview/Villa roundabout going south to GFU/downtown area.

The new bridge that goes over the creek looks to have a path that leads to nothing on the east side of the hess creek dip. I am hoping that this has a better plan. If going east, crossing over to the other side of street seems sketchy.
I echo comments that this is one of the most sketchy areas in town.

There is no bike lane going west on Dayton Ave. I ride the between Dundee and Newberg as it is a bit safer than 99W or red hills road. The dip at the bridge is also a bit sketchy since cars gun it down the hill right before it turns to 25 mph. I wish it was 25 mph between hidden meadows and the city limits.

North Valley is a important East/West means of access from Newberg to lower traffic rural roads. Traffic and speeds seem to be increasing. Shoulders are very poor w/ some dangerous limited sight lines.

North Valley Rd from Newberg to at least Lewis Rogers Road would be an ideal place for at least a one sided extended shoulder to allow cyclists or runners/walkers to enjoy the countryside without being fearful of getting hit or disrupting traffic. There are no good areas to be on the roads outside of town currently and very few in town for that matter.
