Southbound side of Grand
The buffer white strip next to the protected bike lane is problematic – I don’t think this will slow
vehicles down, which is a primary reason for creating this plan. Reduce strip area to make more room
for bike lane.
There’s hazards on this side that need more attention: a freeway entrance, SLOCA school, church,
McCollum and Fredricks streets – all of which are dangerous intersections for bike/pedestrians to
cross.
There’s not enough space between the protected bike lane and the sidewalk gutter – riders need more
space on a street like this.
There’s not enough safety features with reflective and colored lights and flex posts that help riders and
drivers, especially at dusk and nigh, see each other. This is extremely dangerous for everyone on this
road. Need more visual aids.
Northbound side of Grand
While cyclists travel slower up the hill, they need to be visually seen better. Need more reflective lights
and colors.
With heavy traffic during times of the year (move-in, commencement, etc.) we will need a way of
creating 2-lanes to prevent high congestion during these times.
