Do you think the proposed project meets the needs of pedestrians along this road?
We desperately need a safe crosswalk at Westchase and Blue Ridge where the #27 and #100 bus stops are. Please consider what it's going to be like for kids to cross the wade ave ramps.
Please incorporate extensive shade along the sidewalks. Until you've walked from the NCMA to the fairgrounds in the summer you won't realize how little shade there is today.
The idea of a bike bridge, or anything specific that of bicyclists is usually fine, however, instead of a big red, gleaming, bridge simply improve/extend the non-bridge bike paths already available; better still, construct subway-style bike paths/trails. Frankly, Raleigh is not small enough to be "bike-friendly", there are too many cars, too many people and too much traffic for bicyclist to travel- safely- as it is, adding a toll to build this new bridge (for a small number of people to use) will only make biking more difficult for the very people this "improvement" is proposed to help.
People crossing BRR to or from the bike/ped bridge must cross 2 crosswalks both in immediate proximity to an off-ramp and on-ramp. A multi use path should be installed on the west side of BRR from Reedy Creek down to the bike/ped bridge to give better protections to users.
Perhaps, but traffic needs to be slowed. Cyclists and pedestrians should be on separate paths. Textured pavement around crosswalks that are clearly marked with flashing lights and blaring horns to make drivers pay attention at turns. Do not underestimate the distractedness and sheer aggressiveness of the drivers in the bigger better Raleigh.

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.
