This street needs a road diet and needs to be rebuilt as a complete street yesterday! Make it happen, please! ASAP!

Sidewalks are always good to have and I see the current ones in use quite a bit. Bikers can share them with walkers/joggers if built properly, not the current one that put me and my bike in 72nd and required stitches. I do see a need to upgrade signal lights and please do not reduce lanes.

The sidewalks on this street are in poor condition and nonexistent in some sections. The street passes through major residential neighborhoods. Improved sidewalks, signals, etc. will result in more foot traffic thus reducing auto usage.

This stretch of road is in need of repair and upgrading. Upgrades traffic signals and better center turn lanes would be a great benefit to the public.
