Again, we desperately need a safe crosswalk at Westchase and Blue Ridge where the #27 and #100 bus stops are. It would be a failure not to provide a reasonable way to cross the street at that critical junction.
It's a marginal improvement, but Blue Ridge Rd is a hostile environment for anyone not in a personal automobile. This project can't fix that people trying to catch the bus or go from their stop to their destination have to cross 5-6 lanes of fast moving, multi-ton vehicles.
On the south side of Wade Ave, there are no sidewalk/multi use facilities or crosswalks to get people safely across BRR. This needs addressed. There is an intersection in front of the Ramada that could be explored.

Is there anything else you would like to share as we continue the design process?

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.
