There is terrible visibility for oncoming traffic heading West on John Rex Blvd. If you are taking a left out of the Harris Teeter parking lot onto John Rex Blvd, it's impossible to see who is coming from right because of the hedges in the median. Take them down and replace with something low lying.
Reply31 Agree3 years agoFalls and Capital stop light is brutal... ton of traffic of course and the light lasts a long time. Anything to ease flow would be great
Reply18 Agree3 years agoThe approaches with large dips at the ends of these bridges are horrible. Maintenance to make the transition from the roadway to the bridge smooth is needed.
Reply13 Agree3 years agoIt is unnerving and dangerous for walkers with children or dogs to cross on the unguarded sidewalks on the Falls bridge where cars are speeding past. A protected, separate sidewalk or pedestrian bridge would be far preferable for area residents who want to use the greenway but do not have a safe pathway across the river.
Reply9 Agree3 years agoLove the Greenway. Needs to be more accessible by bicycle by residents of Wakefield.
Reply6 Agree3 years agoIs there anything the project team should know about the environmental features of the area?

I love the Greenways, but we also need separated bike lanes that serve a function (e.g., safely getting groceries, running errands) and safely go into shopping areas as the parking lots are dangerous. The painted bike lanes (aka, painted bicycle gutters) are unsafe and often on higher speed (35+ mph) four lane roads, which is crazy, or they dump you out at those roads (e.g., Wakefield Pines bike lane ends at 98!) or they disappear in turn lanes, which is very dangerous. Fast cars and bikes don't mix. The Netherlands has this figured out. We need a car system, a bike system, and a pedestrian system.
