I've lived in a neighborhood off of Trawick for over 10 years and the primary safety concerns for motor vehicles I've observed is the small hill at Edgetone Dr where line of sight is minimal. Cross traffic across Trawick from side streets are also of concern due to limited visibility due to various utility poles and boxes especially at Broadland Drive.
It depends, I think 2 lane areas, especially with divided grassed median will help slow the speed of motorists. If the design includes long sections of three lanes of pavement, motorists will drive too fast.

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.
