Turning out of Wyvern - issue
Account for ADA improvements/access for surrounding populations (age, underserved) drag race north of Retta Esplanade - pulling out to go North- dangerous 170,000 platted lots - master planned communities - this stretch of city is a bottleneck - 3-2 lanes
drag race north of

North- dangerous
Elder Demographic population - pulling around slower drivers leads to aggressive driving & inconsistent travel speeds benefit to keep things as is - slower speeds / congestion - regulates speed

crossing Carmalita at US 41 - issue
Safety improvements for school kids - buses use corridor & cross next time bridge project - paint bike lane green - examples in Lee & Collier
Carmalita - talk to School Board
Bridge is constrained too - better accommodate multimodal aspects in future
slower traffic

walkable
neighborhoods east of US 41 NB are underserved - increase access across roadway by foot/bike

May want to look at parallel facilities for other bike/ped facilities - better linkage to other streets downtown - enhance access to other facilities across US 41
Carmalita is priority crossing
Accommodate

traffic
Consider scooters/micro-mobility modes in design
How to account for human nature - enforcement needs to be a priority for improvements to be beneficial

combination of
on-street parking &
parking garages
Sunseeker proposing garage - not sure if public - intent for parking and walking in downtown
Parking doesn't affect County
Parking
hasn't been
an issue
On-street parking could be an issue on US 41 due to demographics
Event Center uses parking on Taylor & vacant area - once vacant area gets developed - could cause an issue - walking several blocks not appealing to population of area & given weather - may need another garage
HAWK signals - may be appropriate at vacant lot, Retta Esplanade, Carmalita, Taylor/W Charlotte
Crossing W Charlotte and US 41 - dangerous for pedestrians
