Will these bathrooms 🚽 be accessible for addicts to shot up drugs ? Is there a area for the drug user to shoot up there dope an dispose of there needles 💉 last time I used the bathroom in Asheville the dope user had held the bathroom hostage so there needs to be a bathroom for them an a bathroom for kids an parents that don’t use drugs. An hand sanitizer an needle 💉 exchange box 📦 instead of making it a 4star hotel for the homeless to lock 🔒 the doors an taxpayers can’t get into bathrooms they paid for 😢. This is a problem in Asheville rather rich county officials who don’t use these bathroom know or not ♥️ ( please an thank you 🙏 concerned taxpayer an citizen ) Maybe charge a dime like they do in New York 😂 make them addict proof please 🙏 nothing in your fancy design mentions this ?

Can we just leave the trees alone and work around them? Move the lights instead.

None of these. Stop wasting money.

If one divides $964000. (the cost of this project) is divided by $15000. (the cost of housing one unhoused individual in 'affordable housing') the outcome could potentially be 64.3 individuals exiting the streets and moving into permanent housing. Possibly a better use of these funds in the long run.

B - needs monitoring and regular cleaning for any of these to be a viable option. It will never be a bad thing to make our city more accessible both to our tourists, locals, and yes, even homeless folks. The lack of empathy for the condition of those in need of services in this thread is so disheartening. I understand the concerns voiced here, but where else would y'all want our homeless neighbors to use the bathroom!? However, this will be an expensive project eating up funds better used elsewhere if there is not regular (multiple times a day) cleaning and assurance that the space doesn't become a hazard. Not necessarily sure that law enforcement is the answer to the safety concern here and I'm curious what the city's thought process is.

The multi-use bridge over Wade is an excellent idea, but the crossing of the offramps presents a extreme safety risk. Drivers looking to turn right on red at the top of the ramp will only look left for oncoming car traffic, and will never check to their right for peds and bikes.

This project will look nice, I have no doubt. But a bike/ped project that puts cyclists and pedestrians in conflict with fast-moving, multi-ton vehicles is simple placation. I commend the effort to throw pedestrians and cyclists a bone, but this project asks nothing of motorists. They will still get to blast down this road at 50-60 mph and the sanctity of auto-centric level of service will be protected.

Add trees and vegetation in the medians to provide an additional buffer between people and cars.

this is a lot of money for a big project that will do very little unless we:
-restrict the right on red turns
-slow traffic throughout the corridor

Listen to the people who live here not just consultants.
