3, 4, 5 No to reduced capacity. 3, 4, 5 Clarify, in 3 -lane configurations, what the signalized intersections would be like -would there be protected turn pockets at intersections? 3, 4, 5 Pull outs for busses would be good in three lane options. 3, 4, Can we explore cycle tracks like on Alder? Or Pioneer Parkway? Why not. 5,6 3, 4, Any bike lane need not be wider than 5'. Rather have 11'vehicle lanes. Must have bike lanes! 5,6 3, 4, There is no bus consideration for slowing traffic on only three bike lanes. 5,6 3, 4, 6 Possible to make a 2 -way bike lane in one lane like on Alder? 3, 4, 6 5' Bike lanes, 10' sidewalks, reduce driveways. Common parking for bikes and cars to encourage visits to multiple businesses in a single trip. 3,5 Combinations of 3 and 5. Consider narrower vehicular travel lanes -wide sidewalk- buffered bike lanes. Consider a 2 lane bike section to gain safety not at the cost of pedestrian use. 3,5 Consider need to improve options for protected pedestrian crossing (islands) at inbetween intersections. 5,6 lConsider bus turnouts to reduce impact on blocking traffic flow. All Fixing (reducing) car turn access to businesses is critical for all alternatives and protected pedestrian crosswalks. They also have to be usable by bicyclists. All More police enforcement for the laws in the area, speed, rolling out of lots without stopping, passing cyclists safely. All Please consider vehicle- bike - pedestrian as in Amsterdam & Copenhagen All No reduction of traffic lanes. All Protected left turn lanes. All I like the concept of 2 -lane South bound. All Would bike lanes have significant markings? E.g. bike boxes, reflective approach lanes (similar to Portland ?), signage at driveways and intersections. All j Each alternative should use bicycle travel lanes as a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles. All Bike lanes are a must. All I liked one suggestion that sidewalk be enlarged in width to accommodate bicycles, i.e. 13th on one side and 5' on the other, perhaps with a divider on the 13' side to separate pedestrians. All Primary importance- If no bike lanes chosen, highly support making adjacent N/ S routes become most bike friencly and smooth connections to beyond. All jSave $ to ensure improvement to alternate routes for bikes for real improvement. All I Please consider side street corridors for bike riders. All ISide street bike route? All Evaluate potential alternative bike routes. Have to include bike lanes elsewhere. All Use parallel side streets for bikers. Way too much congestion already present with cars, etc. on Willamette.
