Rounded corners so drivers don't have to slow down for right turns are TERRIBLE. First, encourages drivers to not come to a complete stop for a right turn on red. Second, terrible for ped/bike users. Drivers look left as they turn right * without completely stopping or yielding * for people crossing the street. This is not multimodal design. Please change this.
I am unable to find the details of the Waldemar intersection in the documents. The details of this intersection are important for bicycle transportation because Waldemar is a neighborhood shared street bike route. I would like to see the planned details for the intersection since the bike route will continue to cross Kirkwood, and the movements from/onto Waldemar on the west side are changing from existing. With the design I can go to the intersection and understand any possible sight line/traffic conflict issue. Thank you.
I appreciate that you're replacing the unsafe bike gutters with a protected shared-use path. I would like to see the travel lanes reduced to 10', instead of 11' as proposed. According to NACTO, "Lane widths of 10 feet are appropriate in urban areas and have a positive impact on a street’s safety without impacting traffic operations." The extra 4' of width could be used to replace the 6' sidewalk on the west side with a second 10' shared-use path, which would allow bicycles to use both sides of the street.
