Please rank the following street elements with 1 being the most important to you and 10 as the least important.
The current Blount/Person bike lanes are a step forward, but as a frequent user of them they are NOT safe enough to help less confident riders feel comfortable swapping their car trip for a bike ride. We need to start protecting these vulnerable road users rather than prioritizing the convenience of driving a car.
Please make sure you plant trees where possible for shade and cooling. I am hoping two way conversion on Bount and Person will reduce number of vehicles on Bloodworth and keep speeds lower.
I use Person/Blount by foot, bike, bus, and car. I appreciate the efforts undertaken recently re: bike lanes and making this corridor safer. They are starting steps in the right direction.
Cars are still empowered to menace pedestrians however. Too many unpainted crosswalks, and our exurban guests don’t honor the painted ones.
Please remove on-street parking and/or shift to protect the bike lanes (or better yet, protect/segment the bike lane.) I’ve biked down the lanes on both streets, but traffic from the guests to our neighborhood don’t have any more respect for the paint than they do have the crosswalks.
Lastly, please accelerate BRT and traffic circle down by Circus Burger.
