• Some things you may want to consider when completing the survey:

• • On the 5th page, labelled "Ross Rd to E 27th Street" regarding the - Bikelane southbound + MUP northbound
    • (See image at right).
      
    • Our suggested comment is: "Add protection (buffer+ posts) between traffic lanes and bike/multi-user paths on both sides, Narrow the traffic lanes to slow traffic speeds and provide buffer.

On the East side, I'd prefer to see a sidewalk with a separate bike lane. MUPs are shown to cause conflicts with people walking and cycling - not nice for people on foot - especially with the continued growth of ebikes (a good thing!) but average speeds are much higher - especially a long a utility trip route like this.

The end of the bike lane before Ross road - dumping people on bikes into a right turn lane for cars must be fixed on this section.

• • Whiteley Crt to E18th -
    • Option 1 provides more comfort for both people walking and on bikes. Ensure the bikes lanes are wide enough to allow passing.
  • Loading zone/short term Parking pockets - expensive
  • East 18th Street to Arborlynn Drive -
    • Option 1 - Mtn Hwy - slightly less steep, but next to heavy traffic
      • Ensure the bikelanes are protected from traffic, especially at the sharp corners
      • The bikelanes should be wide enough to permit passing, especially uphill.
    • Option 2 - E18th, Appin, Arbourlynn - bit steeper, quieter, could connect to E20-viewlynn
      • Protected bikelanes on both sides of Arbourlynn with separated sidewalk.
    • Consider connection to 20th and viewlynn (quieter parallel route to Mtn Hwy)
