What transportation problems or challenges do you experience at Five Points? Please respond for all ways that you might experience Five Points (as pedestrian, bicyclist, transit rider, driver or car passenger).
Excessive speeding, heavy traffic, excessively loud personal large/heavy duty trucks, motorcycles. Difficulties crossing the street without fear of being struck by car. Speeding cars in close proximity to sidewalks making walking and jogging dangerous and stressful. Children cannot be near Glenwood Avenue or on sidewalks. Pets are fearful of the fast-moving vehicles and close proximity to the traffic. Heavy traffic backups down Glenwood Avenue to St. Mary's street in mornings and evenings. Difficulties turning left from Glenwood Avenue onto side streets such as Beechridge Rd., Cowper Drive, The Circle, Myrtle Ave, etc.

Cars go through intersection too fast. Unsafe walking on sidewalk due to car speed on Glenwood and Whittaker Mill. Please make this neighborhood more walkable!

This is a walkable neighborhood with restaurants, a dry cleaners, drug store, post office. However, actually WALKING in this neighborhood is frightening, stressful and unpleasant due to the huge amounts of commercial vehicles speeding along narrow corridors.

Too much traffic on W Whitaker Mill Road. Start with enforcing CURRENT laws regarding speed, trucks and noise.

What is the most important goal that you would want a project in Five Points to achieve?
Diverted traffic away from Five Points - Glenwood Ave has become the main artery between the Crabtree and Downtown areas. Alternatives must be introduced so that traffic and noise are drastically reduced and the area is safe for pedestrians and bicycles.

Make pedestrian traffic safer to walk around five points and decrease traffic speed.

Walking down Whitaker Mill feels like his are taking your life in your hands. Speeding trucks of all sizes all times of the day and night-

More pedestrian friendly through Five Points and all the way to Glenwood South and downtown. Whitaker Mill is going to be heavily used due to growth of area and businesses at Wake Forest intersection. Need to discourage or redirect traffic so there’s less n neighborhoods.

I live on Glenwood Ave, 2 blocks from five points. Glenwood is like a racetrack. Motorcycles roar up & down Glenwood Ave b/w 10 & 11 pm 6 or more at the same time. Need more police to sit at the medium strip to give tickets to the speeders.

I live on the Circle — no other options but to walk along Glenwood even for a short bit to access other safe side streets.

Speeding is the largest hazard on ALL of Glenwood Ave. The city should be ashamed for allowing this.

live on Whitaker Mill- 2 lane portion - the large industrial trucks and the buses can literally blow you off the sidewalk at times with their speed
