Consider the following, either as a long-form response in the provided textbox at the end of the first section of the feedback form or as individual pins on the map in the following portion of the form.
- Crossing Washington Blvd on a bike at Lincoln Street is very challenging due to the offset intersection. This is an important north-south Greenway / Bike Boulevard that allows easy & low-stress biking from Cherrydale to Columbia Heights via Monroe / Lincoln / Irving Streets. Crossing Washington Blvd is the weak point of this Bike Boulevard.
- Crossing Washington Blvd at Founder's Way is confusing & scary because there are cars coming from driveways on both sides of the crosswalk and it's not clear which ones might be turning across the crosswalk.
- Cars often swerve from lane to lane to avoid left-turning vehicles
- Rapid Flashing Beacon at Nelson street is inaccessible to people on bikes heading northbound, trying to cross Washington Blvd.
- Lack of bike facilities leads to sidewalk riding creating bike/ped conflict.
- Some sidewalks are still very close to fast-moving traffic with no buffer.
- Some sidewalk sections are blocked by utility poles and do not meet ADA requirements!
- Consider a Road Diet to buffer sidewalks from fast-moving traffic
