Would bike more if it was safer. I also have kids who would be walking more independently if there were fewer cars and they couldn’t go as fast.

I bike a lot on the greenway but avoid Glenwood due to traffic.

I avoid this section as a bicyclist. People tend to get confused on the road and traffic moves too fast.

The turn from Glenwood, going north, onto Fairview is often blind. It's hard to see oncoming traffic, especially when it's coming fast.

We live in the 1700 block of Scales St between Fairview and W Whitaker. Traffic backs up from Five Points on WWM and makes it challenging to turn left but even right. As once traffic starts coming from Five Points it is a flood gate. The left turn at WWM and Glenwood is horrific and also because double lane is so short there prevents faster turning right too. And church traffic in and out at times. Also this block of Scales is 2 way. Almost all traffic coming off Capitol will run into the one way block of Fairview and more often turn right up to WWM. They fly! It is curved and with parking on the Five Points intersection side the curve the narrow inside very f the curve. is almost always full of cars and it turns into a blind curve. Either direction. Cars come flying down what’s left of the street and there are many near misses and there have been accidents. It’s just one block and one block from the school with children and parents from neighborhood walking. We need speed bumps on either side of the curve at least as a minimum.
