Incomplete and unmaintained bike lanes

Do you feel comfortable walking or biking on County Line Road?
No, we need more buffer from vehicles, there is not a good bike or walking path
It’s uninviting and too much traffic
People speed and run the stop sign at Jay Rd/Cheesman St
Sidewalks and bike lanes are disconnected and shoulders are too narrow
It is difficult to cross the street as a pedestrian
I would not allow my children to walk or bike on CLR because of safety concerns
Delays and back-ups at school time make it uncomfortable
At night the streets are very dark and need lighting
I will only let my kids walk on CLR when a crossing guard is present
If there were a path/sidewalk along County Line Road, it would make all the difference!
High speeds are concerning
High amounts of traffic traveling too fast without sidewalks
Strongly encourage safety features be built.
Comments about safety when walking or biking on County Line Road
No shoulder or bike path
Feels high risk to bike on this corridor
Too close to traffic, need a bike lane
When there is a right turn off the road it can be awkward because drivers don’t recognize bikers’ direction of travel
What is your biggest safety concern about County Line Road?
The four way stop at Jay Road/Cheesman Street without crosswalk signals or turn lanes
Lack of a bike lane or sidewalk
Speed poorly enforced between Balcolm Street and Cheesman Street
High volume and speed of traffic
Cars do not give priority to bicyclist and pedestrians
Poor visibility and poor shoulders
Balcolm Street needs crosswalks, sight visibility on the NE corner is poor
Cross traffic on County Line Road is at a disadvantage due to excessive speed
Need delineated (painted) lines
Concern that if the road is wider and nicer, vehicles will go faster so it will not be any safer
Distracted drivers
Lack of shoulder to allow cars to pass cyclists and pedestrians safety
School zone is chaotic and the lack of crossing guards for school

What safety or mobility improvements would you like to see along County Line Road?
Crosswalk signals at the four- way stop (Cheesman St/Jay Rd) would be nice
Bicyclists have their own lanes
Dedicated sidewalk
A wider multi purposes path
Separate pedestrians and bicyclists
Slow down speeding cars
Blinking lights when pedestrians cross
Traffic light at Jay Road/Cheesman Street with left turn lanes
Concern for noise abatement
Protected bicycle paths with physical barriers, wider sidewalks with a physical buffer (ie landscaping and potentially elevating the sidewalk), traffic calming measures, RRFBs
Speed bumps, stop signs, shared paths on both sides of the streets
Etiquette program for walking/biking on a sidewalk
More enforcement of speeding
Turn lane at major intersections
Adaptions for people with disabilities
Planting trees for traffic calming to help keep vehicular speeds low
