Are there other changes that could be made to Park Ridge Drive to improve its comfort for walkers and cyclists?
A 4 way stop sign at Raven Stone and Park Ridge Dr. is a necessity. There have been too many near accidents here. The hill on Park Ridge as you come into Foothill Crossing causes a blind spot and that on top of speeders have caused some very scary close calls. Making this a 4 way stop would slow down traffic and especially speeders who excel at this location to get up the next hill.

There is a lot of speeding on Park Ridge Drive and Eastern Avenue. Appropriate measures should be put in place to mitigate that, such as installing permanent flashing speed limit signs (the kind that flash the driver's current speed and warn the driver when driving over the speed limit). Speeding is particularly bad along Park Ridge Drive and Eastern Avenue in the downhill directions.

Intersection of Park Ridge and Eastern Ave should be 4-way stop or small roundabout. Ultimately, the solution is to complete Eastern Avenue all the way to Three Notch'd Rd. But make it narrow through the use of protected bike lanes so people don't use it as a raceway from 250 to 240.

In fact, installing bollards all along Eastern Ave to protect the bike lanes and to reduce the perception that it's a wide, all out speedway, would be an inexpensive way to reduce the speed of traffic.

There is frequent speeding down Park Ridge Drive, particularly down hills and around blind spots, in a neighborhood full of small children. Vehicles going 40-50 mph are not uncommon, and there have been a number of close calls. Short term solutions such as stop signs at raven stone, speed bumps, and police enforcement are urgently needed. Long term, connections to 240/250 are critical as park ridge drive was not intended to be a permanent thoroughfare for Crozet.

To reduce speeding on Park Ridge I would recommend putting in some speed bumps.
