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.

This road is a mess, it's too narrow for two cars to drive on it at once, let alone bikes.

This section is very hard to walk or bike in, as the road is narrow and there are no sidewalks.

I live on the east side of College, and trying to cross to get to Jaquith is incredibly difficult. You either need to go way far north to Mountainview, or way far south to Vermillion.
A pedestrian crossing at Sierra Vista would be very useful.

The park and ride for the bus is not very close for east bound/west bound. I have to cross both directions of 99W and walk 0.3 miles if I park at one and return getting off at the other stop. I do not feel safe doing this, especially in the dark for the commuter bus from Newberg to McMinnville. They should be at the same location.

I would love to see a separate walking/biking paved trail between Newberg and Dundee and possibly all the way to McMinnville, that runs alongside 99W and Hwy 18. I do not feel comfortable riding or walking on a road shared with vehicles.

No sidewalk on either side of the street

College is a main thoroughfare for the city, and quite a busy road. There needs to be room for bikes and vehicles to coexist safely.

Despite being a designated "bikeway," this is one of the worst roads for bikes. Parked vehicles along the road cause bikers to have to weave in and out of auto traffic. It essentially just removes any sort of bike lane and forces cyclists to ride with auto traffic.
There tends to be a considerable amount of auto traffic. I am surprised that given the proximity to three schools and the CPRD rec facility, this has not already been addressed.

There needs to be a walking bridge beside the Baker Creek bridge on Westside road. For bikes or pedestrians it's really scary going across that bridge.

It is way too expensive to add bike paths along rural roads. There are other road projects that need completed first for motorists safety. And the rural paths only benefit a few people most of whom do not even live in the rural areas. Please focus only on CITY bike paths. But do NOT ask taxpayers to fund it.

The crossing of Mountain View road over Hess creek has no shoulder and is very dangerous for both biking and running.

North Valley road has no shoulder for biking or running. Considering the speed limit of 45, this is a very dangerous road.

Narrow bridge for pedestrians. Also, this entire route between Lafayette and McMinnville is unsafe for bicycles. I have two boys in high school I'd like to let ride their bikes to town and to school (and use myself), but there's no bike lane.

Add a shoulder, bike lane, pedestrian path, or sidewalk along Sunnycrest Rd toward Newberg. Pedestrians, bicyclists, and joggers use this road frequently, but they must dodge out of the way of traffic, or cars must swerve out of their lanes to avoid them. This addition would increase safety and encourage more pedestrians/bicyclists with access to Sunnycrest Rd as it is close to Newberg and its shops and restaurants.

Bike lane ending here right before Deskins rd often puts me in an unsafe spot and cause me to just stop and wait for no cars on the busy street, to pass the road and continue on college with no bike lane.

Bike lane ends here and leaves no safe options for cyclists. The choices are staying on tight, skinny, college street, or riding on the small sidewalk with pedestrians.

Limited visibility at this intersection, especially with the speed of traffic

We really should not have bikes on the windy and hilly country roads and highways. If cyclists want to improve the roads and add bike lanes they should pay for it through bicycle registration. These roads are very unsafe to encounter cyclists on.

It would be much safer to have pedestrian and bike paths in this lane.

Again, bike lanes on county roads would greatly improve safety for cyclists.

Would love to see widened roads with a bike lane on many of our county roads. It would greatly improve our cycling infrastructure.
