East Central

Sprague Ave from Restriping Division East to Haven

Restriping per UDSC Study by MIG earlier this year, restriping Sprague to 3 lanes (one lane east, one lane west, with center left-turn lanes) would widen the travel and parking lanes. A single lane of traffic stopping for a pedestrian is much sfer than stopping two lanes of traffic. It will also increasel safety for parked vehicles. Reference section 6 of South University District-Sprague Corridor Final Plan

Lyons & Cincinnati

Mobile Speed Indicator Signs

To slow traffic traveling on Lyons the neighborhood suggets that the road be made more narrow, possibly instal bump outs, install sidewalks to complete sidewalk network, finish the sidewalk, possibly installing a traffic cirle at Lyons and Cincinnati. 1 X Traffic Islands at each intersection in concert with Gonzaga Reps, Neighborhood Reps & City Staff

Mobile Speed Signs

20 mph zone around South Perry Business District

Cars are not following the speed limit, neighborhood requests permanent speed indicator signs. The locations Permanent Speed Indicator Signs are suggested at 12th Ave. and in-between 8th and 9th Ave., but the neighborhood said exact locations are to be determined.

Cliff Cannon

Maple St. between 8th and 9th Ave.

Curb Bump Outs

In order to make the crossing safer and enhance the attractiveness of this historic area, the Cliff Cannon Neighborhood applied in 2010 for a set of curb bump outs between 8th & 9th, four bump outs on Walnut and four on Maple. The Traffic Management Application Committee chose to fund four bump outs with the tacit understanding that they could apply again for funds to build the remaining four on Maple. 1 For this crossing the neighborhood would like at apply for the City's best practice crosswalks like the project installed in the Gonzaga District at Hamilton and Desmet. 2 For this crossing the neighborhood would like at apply for the City's best practice crosswalks like the project installed in the Gonzaga District at Hamilton and Desmet. 2 X X X

Sidewalks

The neighborhood would like to have the sidewalk extended t other safest place for pedestrians to exit across to a sidewalk. This crosswalk should be boldly identified as a student crossing. The neighborhood believes converting the inner southbound lanes into left turn lanes at both intersections would create one single lane passing through the intersections eliminating the need to race to the merge points. We are requesting a broad interpretation of the "striping" option that could apply to the yellow paint used to designate new left turn lanes.

Daily walking route morning and evenings for parents w/strollers, dog walkers between Manito Park, Hart Field, the new Jefferson School and the shopping at 37th & Grand. 1 Manito Blvd & 29th One-Way North Crosswalk Striping with Raised Design Same as above description. This is a difficult intersection to cross, made more tricky due to the introduction of an east turn lane as drivers traveling south do not see the pedestrian walking in front of the car waiting to turn east. 1

Advise the City staff to coordinate with District 81 to determine priority compared to other proposed sidewalk infill in the Comstock Neighborhood. 2 Safe route to school for Jefferson Elementary. No sidewalks exists west of Bernard at 37th Ave. Is this a priority for District 81? How would City deal with crosswalk that doesn't connect to sidewalk at one end? X

Bernard St. (east side) beginning at 29th Ave. and filling each block south to High Drive

Sidewalks

Residents need to access STA bus stops along 29th Ave. and Bernard St.-especially those living on 30th Ave and 32nd Ave. Overall between 29th and High Drive, there is more sidewalk along east side of Bernard St.-infill should begin along this side first. Tough to fund only with photo red dollars-please consider Pedestrian Plan. 7 X

High Drive from Hatch St. east to alley (NE of Rocket Market)

Sidewalks

Sidewalk infill along arterial. Crosswalks should also be considered in this area- especially near the Rocket Marketeither mid-block or at High Drive & 43rd. 8 X

High Drive connecting "service" roads on both sides at 37th

Sidewalk

Short sidewalk/pedestrian path connecting heavily used side streets along arterial. Sidewalk or path would prevent users from entering traffic lane. This bottleneck also occurs at Bernard St. & High Drive. Lower overall priority but please consider for Pedestrian Plan project list and coordinate with reconstruction of High Drive in 2013. 9 X

Cedar-8700-9300 N. Cedar Rd.

Uninterrupted separated sidewalks, bike lanes striping, street trees, crosswalk

The changes would provide safe passage for school children from the urbanized city neighborhood to their elementary school whether they walk or bike to school. Additionally, it would be clearly understood where the children cross the street. Street trees would aid in the calming of high speeds on the long stretch or roadway and provide a buffer to pedestrians and a location to store snow, which often currently puts pedestrians in harms way sharing the road with cars during winter months.

Have been told that this section of roadway is being considered for repaving next year. The money has been allocated to add sidewalk on the east side of Five Mile Rd. from Heath to Strong. That project was suppose to be completed in 2011 and it has not been started. This is a huge safety issue because of the Five Mile Prairie School on the NW corner of Five Mile Rd. and Strong where there is no bike lane/sharrow/crosswalks or sidewalks.

Madison is a commonly used routed to the neighborhood park and sidewalks make it much safer to get there on foot or by cycling. 2 Trees have long been known to enhance a neighborhood and encourage people to walk because of the improved environment. We hope it would result in a better community feel and indicate to drivers that this is a residential area and thus drive accordingly. Part of W. Mansfield is already tree-lined, but there are areas, such as outside 1120 W. Mansfield, where trees are clearly missing. 3 X x
