The following are the free response answers collected as part of the public survey. These responses have been left in the exact format and language used by the respondent. They have not been summarized or altered. It should be noted, that the following only includes those questions where a written response was an option. Questions 7, 8, 10, and 11 are not included. Question No. 1 The ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update has proposed the following goals. Please rate them in importance. . Double the percentage of trips to work by walking or bicycling within the next 10 years. . Increase the number of miles of roadway with paved shoulder greater than 4 feet. . Increase the number of miles of sidewalks and shared use paths. . Decrease the number of bicyclist and pedestrian injuries and fatalities. . Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). The following are the free responses provided by the public for this question.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 1 Maybe more bike/ped questions on the driver's exam. I've always felt that education is key... so it seems that a demonstration of that knowledge would be in order. 2 The rumble strips should either be inside the white/shoulder line or in the same place, not outside the white line in the shoulder or . Once the driver crosses the rumble strip in shoulder it is too late to save a cyclist and it takes up valuable shoulder/bike lane area.

All new main roads (not necessarily within neighborhoods) should have a bike lane or wide shoulder for commuting, recreation, exercise and touring. 3 While the educational tools developed so far are nice, but physical reminders on the streets are probably more effective because not everyone gets the educational materials (or they forget). The more frequent reminders are more helpful. The "3 feet please" signs, reminding drivers to give riders three feet of clearance per state are great and should be implemented everywhere.

Places with more than one accident (car/bicycle) should have "watch for cyclist" or "share the road" type signs. 4 Provide bike lanes with connectivity for AZ residents plus those riding through our state. 5 Walking and bicycling are very important. Building the Pedestrian Rail line and then linking the bicycle and pedestrian facilities to it would be fantastic. Smaller communities with highways through desperately need bicycle and pedestrian access. We need to keep building Complete Streets - streets that aren't just for cars. 6 Any new or re-build projects must have suitable shoulder. For example, the north bound stretches of hwy 93 between Nothing and I 40 have parts that have no shoulder, yet the sections have already been re-built. 7 -Create paths that are seperate from roads and highways. -Create road dividers with cement medians and/ or vegetation that would seperate vehicles from and walkers. -- Increase number of paved shoulder miles. -Develop rest or comfort stations along highways with paths or shoulders where bicyclists and 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 3 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). pedestrians can rest and refill on water. 8 1. Outlaw texting and use of cell phones while driving. 2. Provide incentives to employers to provide showers and lockers for bike and pedestrian commuters. 3. Enforce stop on red before right turn. 9 by completing the road with the margin for bicycles especially from start one intersection to the other side of the intersection 10 education of motorists in awareness of pedestrian/bicyclists 11 Most all roads should have wide marked shoulders for bicycles. Major busy roadways should have a separate or alternate road for bicycles. published bike route maps for metro areas. Education on safe co-sharing of roadways. public transportation (buses, etc.) should have bike carriers to encourage bike riders to combine public transportation with biking to work or shopping. 12 Make sure new construction and reconstruction projects include ped/bike facilities from the outset 13 Payson's town roads are in terrible shape and only one st. has bike path. Payson is NOT pedestrian/biker friendly ~ it is dangerous. Take a walk or a bike ride to the P.O., schools, markets. Please do something.

Jeanie 14 Increase the consequences of distracted drivers who hit cyclists. Have a "rear view mirror" program for cyclists so it is not stigmatized. Limit group ride sizes as it is a well-known fact that cyclist behavior gets worse the larger the group. I have a zillion more ideas. 15 I was having trouble with checking the dots so I'll respond in writing; #1 for all four goals. I use all "bike" lanes when possible as well as shared paths. I am also an avid tourer and can't imagine being able to have 4' instead of 4" on highways. I wish more people would ride a bicycle and would then understand. Please check out Adventure association. www.adventurecycling.org. Working together might put Arizona in the Top 5 bicycle friendly states. 16 When state highways are constructed or repaved, extend the roadway surface the entire width of the shoulder. On several highways in Cochise County, the roadway surface extends only partially across the shoulder. Do not decrease the width of shoulders at drainage structures. 17 When repaving state highways or even just chip sealing, put new paving or chip sealing all the way to the edge of the existing roadway so bicyclists can stay on the shoulder and not risk falling because of uneven paving. 18 Never redo or put in a road that has not have accomondations for bicycles. No side walk as they don't work for bicyclist Make sure the new Northern ave has a bike lane or wide lanes to accomodate bicyclist At this point there is no good way to cross from the NW Sun City and Peroia Glendale to Surprise, etc 19 Create more bike routes, the are scarce, in bad shape, and many of them do not connect to anything. Many times I have to ride my bike on the sidewalk because I don't feel safe. 20 more paved bike pathways ideally next to freeway like the dreamy draw bike path! 21 Car driver and cyclist education and more severe fines 22 if schoolchildren walked or bicycled to school, less parents would need to drive their car in the morning and the parents could also walk or bicycle 23 Please add more bicycle path in Phoenix ! Riding bicycle is energy efficient and sustaianble. The least government can do is to encourage it!. Thank you so much 24 Bike lanes!!! 25 Require sidewalks, and require sidewalks of sufficient width to accomodate both pedestrian and bicycle traffic wherever ADOT has . Extra pavement beside highways is still not safe for bikes. Bike paths may be parallel to but must be separated from highway traffic. 26 The priority should be for creating more bike paths that are separate from major roads. This can

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). be done by creating more bikeways through residential areas, along river paths, etc. 27 Resurfacing the current roads would go a long way in making cycling more appealing, even without actual paths etc. 28 Devote more of the ADOT budget toward creating biking infrastructure. Raise bicycling awareness for both cyclists and motorists in areas with high rates of bicycle- motorist collisions. 29 Having the bike lane extend all the way to the intersection instead of the bike lane abruptly ending prior to the intersection would be appreciated. More bike lanes and Share the Road signs! 30 Bicycle paths in Arizona urban areas need to be contiguous and not end at intersections. In Flagstaff, bike paths start and then end after a few blocks. 31 There is an incredibly dangerous section of road through Catalina in northern Pima County on the Oracle highway 77 that has almost no shoulder for bicyclists where having a large shoulder would prevent cyclists entering the road. Sidewalks and shared use paths don't offer much utility per dollar because highways tend to be in areas where walking to locations is not very easy. 32 Improve the State Route 260 between Camp Verde and Cottonwood to include Bike Lanes. 33 I ride on the shoulder of Hwy 95, is it possible to provide a shoulder that is wider or farther away from the hwy since vehicles are traveling in speeds of 65+ and lots of passing occurs on our stretch. Thank you 34 If you build the infrastructure, cyclists & pedestrians will come. 35 Improve the overall network of roads to facilitate the movement of all common and alternative forms of trransportation. 36 Rigidly enforce the 3ft rule and make bike routes available in unconnected areas (ex: I used to live in Ahwatukee and bike to work in Chandler, running a 2-3 mile gauntlet each way in narrow 2- lane-each-way 45mph zones, usually controlling the lane). Or build greenways, everyone loves greenways! Also, please don't expect cyclists to use sidewalks. Riding on sidewalks gets more cyclists killed (less visible to drivers before crossing intersections). 37 Bike lanes, multi-use paths, maps of paths that cyclists can use for commuting or exercise 38 Use HSIP funds to add or widen shoulders so that all State Highways have effective shoulder widths of at least 4 feet; Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Emphasis in Strategic Highway Safety Plan 39 All users of the road need to be educated on the responsibilities that each has in providing a safe environment for all. 40 These are all most important. I choose the following but could easily see all of these being important and some run hand in hand. 41 It would also be good to let bicyclist know when they are at a place where it's the last normal exit to a truely highway road. Like where Pecos turns into 202, you have to know when is the last turn off. 42 I think this is a great idea, but long overdue. We here in America are spoiled with our personal vehicles. So to read that there is an idea to improve our mode of transportation with bicycles is awesome. 43 -Increased driver awareness media campain of 3-feet rule. -Pave shoulder of 9-Mile hill in Rio Verde. 44 Include in the drivers license test/process information about being aware of cyclist on the roads. More signage along roads informing driver about watching for cyclists. ban texting while driving. 45 My assumption is most bicycle trips will be in urban or suburban areas, where bicyclists will avoid the state highways. Making regular roads safer to travel (by adding bicycle lanes or making existing lanes safer) would be my top priorities. E.g. I have found a route from home to work (8 miles over regular roads in Chandler) that is reasonably safe, but there are a few points that are dangerous. They could be made safer by changing to layout of the bike lines a little bit.

091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 5 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 46 First thank you for the survey and the actions you have/are taking. As a cyclists for over 20 years in AZ I have seen great improvements. Goal#2: Please ensure those added shoulders are clearly marked as Bicycling lanes. I would like to also see more education (television, radio, road signs, bicycling education in driver schools) to educate drivers on the need to share the road and the devastation if you do not. Stiffer penalties for those who hit cyclists are in order. 47 Raise the shouldler and add rumble strips so that motorists know they are leaving their lane. 48 ADOT needs to improve maintenance of the shoulders! Too many times we are forced to ride closer - or in - the lanes of traffic due to shoddy or nonexistent shoulders. 49 Public Meetings in communities. Mailings with updates to community residents. 50 We need more bikeways and sidewalks that are *not* areas with heavy automobile traffic. Tucson has recently created bikeways on less trafficked streets. Great idea! More pedestrian crossings with stoplights would be great, and more, better, wider sidewalks. Too often walking or biking around here feels like taking your life in your hands. Also a shopping/downtown area *without* vehicle traffic would be great. 51 Allocate funding for the implementation of more paved shoulders. 52 Bike paths for a start. If cities would see the long range importance of use paths when building their cities instead of after, how nice that would be. I had a couple of animated discussions with a former mayor of Surprise about this. She didn't see the importance, which was a terrible shame. 53 Bicycle riders ignore traffic . ADOT cannot enforce and DPS is far too busy as are local PD units - so there's no chance since the riders could care less! 54 Bicycling accidents could be decreased by bicyclist knowing that they are required to ride with traffic, and for motorist to know the rights bicyclist have. This can be accomplished by public service ads and driver's test. Wider paved shoulders should be required on new highways and when older highways are repaired. 55 Bike lanes need rubble strips to make drivers better aware of drifting into bike lanes. 56 Maintain the bike lanes. Make sure there are huge cracks or seams in the lanes to cause crashes. 57 Train cyclists that their safety depends on them, not on facilities or other drivers. 58 Train cyclists that their safety depends on them, not on facilities or other drivers. 59 state needs to provide bike lights & safe child bike seats that can attach securely for those who cannot afford to buy them. lights are required by law. many who bike to work/school do so because they are struggling financially. safe child seats would increase parental options for best child care availability. finding sitters that provide child-care outside of their own home/facility is difficult/impossible. 60 in high trafic areas , place reflective deviceses to distinguish a barrior between traffic , and bicycle lanes where appropriate in high useage areas of cyclists. 61 Build more paths and safe byways. 62 Invest in education (safety and advertising routes), connect common routes that have "gaps", simply increase number of facility miles, create tools to help people map their path (maps, online, signage...) 63 We need more bike lanes, wider bike lanes, stiffer penalties for people using their phones while driving. I would bike to work if the roads were safer. 64 ALLWAYS ensure drainage grates on highways are bike friendly by designing with a cross-hatch pattern that wheels cannot get stuck in. 65 Educate the public and bicyclists about using the same roadway. Incentivize cities who show an interest in repairing roads currently in disrepair needing repairs. 66 More and better maintained bike lanes.

091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 6 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 67 The fourth item is most important, and achieved by accomplishing the first three, and most especially by further education motorists to 1) understand the rules laws that govern sharing the road with cyclists and b) general safety guidelines. 68 Consider having some rest stops on bike trails with bathroom facilities, water, shade and a place to sit and rest... those rest stops would really be great. 69 Change the law to protect vulnerable motorists. Ban texting while driving and if needed cell phones must me hands free. 70 Provide more miles of bike lanes. This past Saturday I was on Ray Rd on Ahwatukee in a portion where there are no bike lanes. A truck driver passed me at a high rate of speed and even though the other two lanes of traffic were open, he passed very close to me, so close, that I almost lost my balance. 71 Ensure that any road repair or new construction plans consider BikePed goals. 72 enforce the laws and communicate to cars that bicycles belong on the roads. 73 What I'd like to see is the bike lines on roads we have be better protected. A simple white line is ignored by drivers. We need occasional huge bumps (not the small reflectors). One of these about every 50-100 ft would keep the cars out of the bike lines (such as during their texting and phone calls). I think it would be a very cheap solution to improve safety. 74 Better bike lanes, connections, and sidewalks 75 1) Increase motorists and cyclist general education on laws (basic info during motor driver exams) 2) Increased signage and road striping 3) Cyclist laws and proper riding behavior training in grade and middle schools 4) Advocate for increase in shoulders along state highways 76 1) Increased signage and road striping 2) rumble strips on the right edge of vehicle lane - not on shoulder/bike lane 3) simple bicyclist rights education should be included in any drivers license exam 4) likewise biker rights and proper riding should be taught in middle schools (simple training class that can be provided by normal staff or on-line) 5) "bicycle laws/rights" app 77 Not every route/highway needs to be bicycle/pedestrian friendly. Evaluate and prioritize a reasonable network of roadways which connect users with their destinations of interest. Prioritization can be based on accident history and/or most heavily trafficed routes by pedestrians and bicyclist. 78 I could not click on ranking- my order of importance 3,2,4,1 79 Not adding bike lanes while repaving Beaver Flat Road between SR 179 and Cornville Rd was a sad omission. 80 More bicycle lanes would be great 81 Decrease the amontof chip and seal, replacing with asphalt. 82 Seems that each of these comes down to increasing the safety of available options for cyclist. Adding bike lanes (better than shared use paths which can be dangerous with cross trafic and dangerous for pedestrians) will encourage (people will feel safer) wich will decrease injuries and fatalities because an increase of cyclists makes for increased driver awareness. Increasing the number of bike lanes should be a priority. 83 Building roads with materials that discourage vehicular speeding while encouraging walking and biking! 84 Bike lanes that are connected to other bike lanes to form a route between areas. People feel that bike lanes now end without any destination. 85 More signs reminding drivers that pedestrians have right of way when using walkways better signage in areas where trail meets road, like The Loop in Marana where is crosses Ina but requires a shunt along Ina. 86 Coordinate with local municipalities to insure connectivity between ADOT facilities and existing and future facilities so that there is a well connected system from town to town not segmented by

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). ADOT systems. 87 Ads to inform motorists of the penalties of hitting cyclist and pedestrians, since usually they drive aggresively and fast next to the bike lane. Proper signs on bike lanes. Educate pedestrians not to block traffic by using appropiate crossings and wait until traffic flow is reduced to cross and use corner crossing lights. 88 By having almost all roads 25 miles per hour and higher roads painted with bike lanes.

Except freeways of course 89 Please install shoulders on Hwy 89A south from Flagstaff to the Pine Del subdivision. 90 Please add paved shoulders on Hwy 89A from Flagstaff south to the Pine Del subdivision. 91 Shared pathways be wide enough to accommodate slower moving users (pedestrians and casual cyclists) and faster cyclists. Too narrow will result in collisions, accidents and injuries which we want to reduce not increase. 92 In all new and revised construction, include plans for increasing the number of miles of state highways with paved shoulders of 4 feet or greater and use public media outlets to keep bicycle and pedestrain injuries and fatalities decreased--public free advertisements. 93 Several important roadways in Flagstaff - including Milton Road, Route 66, Highway 89, Humphreys Street, and Fort Valley Road – are ADOT roads and would be addressed in the plan. 94 Bicyclist and pedestrian injuries and fatalities will inevitably rise as more people commute these ways and as population rises. What matters is the ratio or injuries per trip or mile going down. 95 More, better (ie, well-signed, well-marked, highly-visible) and more strictly-enforced bike lanes, shared lanes, etc. 96 I no longer bike around Surprise due to the high number of bike accidents in the valley. We load up bikes and drive to Rio Vista for canal rides or to Estrella Pkwy for good bike lanes. 97 I guess it hard not to want to dcrease the number of fatalities, but what is the number? So improved safer access has to help reduce the number if it is already considered to high. 98 All items are crucial to the success of cyclists throughout the valley. I ride everyday and motorists are completely unaware of me and think I do not have a right to be on the road. They are extremely aggressive and careless when it comes to bicyclists sharing the raod. 99 I liked to see safe bike lanes on most used streets in Flagstaff and law that protect cyclist when injured or threated when riding their bikes. I ride my bike to work and to the gym on weekends and I have been hit by drivers while riding in the bike lane. I feel if we increase awareness of cyclest safety and cyclest rules drivers may respect bike riders more. 100 Increase (shoulders, sidewalks and paths) by how much? Quality is more important than quantity here. Many existing state facilities (including roadways) are in poor repair. Regular maintenance on existing facilities is more important than added facilities. 101 Providing dedicated bike lanes with wide shoulders on all major accessways is critical to reducing the number of injuries and fatalities. Please also dont simply END a bike lane on a road. This puts the rider in a predicament to either ride on the roadway with the cars (unsafe) or turn around and ride against the traffice (also unsafe and unproductive).

Rob 102 Investments should be made wisely. Put the infrastructure where the people are. The round-a- bouts and sidewalks in Tusayan seem like a ridiculous expenditure. Where is the to support that project deserves investment over bike lanes and sidewalks in denser parts of the state that will actually get people to walk and bike more often? 103 Since paved shoulders are not typically designed to carry the weight of traffic, install edge of lane markers (bumps) between the travel lane and the shoulder at approaches to intersections to prevent motor vehicle from using the shoulder/bike lane as a right turn lane. Require licenses and proof of for bicycles and riders utilizing State highways. 104 All of these items are most important. It would help to have more education provided to all (cyclists

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). and non-cyclists). There are many areas where safe access just ends. If efforts could be concentrated on connecting dead ends for shoulders and multi-use paths making continuous routes, it would greatly improve rideability. If people feel they have a safe path more will ride. 105 Keep the roadway shoulders clean of debris. 106 If you fix some others will follow. 107 Widen roads. Mark bicycle lanes. Prosecute distracted drivers who run over and kill cyclists. 108 Painting the solid line and bicycle paint warnings with in the saftey lane along with yellow signs to share the road. Assist in the passing of Extremely stiff fines when traffic does not yield to bicycles. Assist in passing the law that bicyclist do not have to come to a full stop at stop signs but must yield to traffic. 109 Have more bike paths in the metro Phoenix area. This would have the biggest impact on the most number of poeple. 110 Educate bicycle and pedestrians about traffic laws and enforce 111 Media and education campaigns to tell citizens about the laws & rules. Media and education programs to increase sensitivity to the dangers, to change attitudes and behaviors to better protect. Construct shoulders and mark accordingly. 112 Most important is going to be to increase the bike paths through ALL communities. Bicyclists also MUST take responsibility for their safety by not riding with music or cell phone ear connectors. Motorists should not honk their horns when coming upon a cyclist as it startles one and may cause the person to ver into the on coming car. 113 the rules of the road should be applied to ALL bicyclist...... for example.....stop lights, stop signs and yeild signs...... Why can bicyclist go thur stop signs and not get cited? What is number of citations given to biker's versus auto's running red lights...and yields signs.... The law is giving to much and trying to make new laws with old one still in place... 114 Create a bike path from Picture Rocks to Silverbell Rd and Cortaro via Twin Peaks Rd. Include designated bike lanes on Sandario to provide safe access to Twin Peaks. This will help make it feasible for residents of Picture Rocks to bike safely into work or school. This will also provide access to public bus routes 115 Look to Flagstaff as a model. Their bikeways and trails are outstanding. 116 with more & wider bike paths there should be more safety for the riders. If the path is too narrow the rider goes out into traffic thus causing a double hazard 117 - install bike and ped paths along Tangerine Rd on the northwest side of Tucson between Oro Valley and Marana. No paths currently exist to commute or ride between Oro Valley and Marana. -install bike paths along Sandario Rd west of Tucson. -install bike lanes on Highway 83 to Sonotia. 118 . Forget about increasing corporate profit margins by attracting tourists and focus on the needs of the people who live in the area by being more functional in designing bike paths and lanes. Little is done to make biking in Flagstaff a convenient year around means of transportation. 119 Work with communities to map important (existing or potential) routes that connect residential with employment or commercial sites Collaborate with communities to determine highly visible and recognizable signage indicating shared transportation pathways Assist communities with identifying alternate pathways to high-traffic, unsafe pedestrian or bike routes 120 This appears to be a last ditch effort. What makes anyone think widening highways etc will decrease any bike accidents. Why not work from the irresponsible drivers actions and make them take a driving test and get a license .If drivers of autos need to be responsible then why not bikes and motorcycles? Just because they are smaller doen not negate their responsibility as drivers. 121 Add onto shoulders of current roadways. Increase the amount of non-motorized pathways through 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 9 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). and across cities. Increase incentives to riding bicycles while decreasing injuries. 122 More partnerships with local area biking clubs and similar purposed non profits. Potentially this may enable the funding of shared uses paths through federal grants. 123 commit funds to shared use paths which keep pedestrians and bicyclist further from the traffic. 124 In Flagstaff the Milton Rd corridor needs a center, raised median to reduce automobile accidents and provide a safe haven for pedestrians crossing the street. On W. Rte 66 there is a great need for a pedestrian activated crossing light and crosswalk at Blackbird Roost. All the ADOT roads in west Flagstaff are severely lacking in pedestrian and bicycling safety and protective ammenities. 125 Wider shoulders with regular cleanup of debris in the shoulders. 126 Start working with municipalities in identifying and upgrading roadways and bikeways to facilitate these goals. Maybe incentives for municipalities that cooperate with the state dot. 127 Make driver penalties stiffer for accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians. Driver education campaigns regarding cyclist/pedestrian laws, and safe passage. State and Fed highway funding dependant on achieving a percentage of new or road repaving projects including 4 ft bike lanes. Fix bike lane holes that cause cyclists to have pinch flats. Cyclists ride the white line to avoid the debris in bike lanes. Get the street sweepers back on the roads to keep bike lanes clear of debris. 128 Mike Sanders has a copy of my comments 129 One specific area that needs to be addressed is North Oracle Road which I believe is AZ hwy#77 thru Catalina. This 2 mile stretch is heavily traveled by cyclists and the effective bike lane is 12-14" wide. Traffic in this area typically is traveling at 45-55 MPH and this is very dangerous. Simply paving from the existing bike line to the curb would effectively make the bike lane almost 3' wide, 130 Produce a commercial for TV about bike and pedestrian safety. Remind drivers to not text, adjust GPS units, etc. while driving. STAY ALERT! 131 As roads are improved they should include bike lanes. 132 Get a decent CONTINUOUS shoulder onto ALL roads in Flagstaff and adjacent areas. Make a shoulder (at least 4 feet wide ) on Highway 180, both sides - ALL THE WAY TO GRAND CANYON. AND build a bicycle path all the way to Grand Canyon, such as the paths along I-70 in Colorado. 133 Immediate steps can be taken with a number of current roads by increasing the bike lane width. 134 Put "Share the Road" signs around the state to remind drivers to be considerate. Buy enough signs so cities can order them through a central facility. Camp Verde is trying to put signs out and cannot find a common place to buy them. 135 Building more share use paths along highways, will achieve all of these goals. So plans should be looked at to prioritize which roadways would be most beneficial to start with. 136 1. Awareness campaign to educate drivers and bicyclists as to the laws and courtesies. 2. Ensure that there is a cleaning/sweeping program funded for bike lanes. a path with debris and rocks is conducive to riding outside the path and to falls resulting in injuries / death. Cooperative approach with bicycling groups including training on use of a sweeper and volunteers to operate same. 3. Shared use paths should be for non-bicyclists IF there is a bike lane parallel to it. 137 By addressing the sidewalk/road issues on McConnell under the freeway would assist in decreasing ped/bike injuries, as well as increase walking/biking trips. 138 4' is not enough - paved shoulders intened for cyclists should be 6' minimum. When streets are swept, shoulders should be swept also. Too often all the debris is pushed intop the bike lane. Shared use paths are not conducive to cycling - pedestrians and serious cyclists do not mix well. 139 Hard for me to answer this, can't have one without the other really, need the infrastructure to get the riders/walkers.

091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 10 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). * set up comfortable/safe walking/riding situations with good bike lanes/ sidewalks * education/ outreach activities on all sides: drivers/ walker/ riders * promote alternative forms of transportation 140 You can't really decrease the number of injuries and fatalities until you increase the safety of the roads and pathways, so I believe setting that as a goal is nearly pointless. The goals should be focused on what ADOT itself has the most control over, rather than on something that depends on what others do. 141 Serious commitment to more and better bicycle paths; more ads and flyers that remind the general public (a) to be aware of pedestrians and bicyclists; (b) of the overall benefits to the community of more people walking and biking. 142 - Improve the quality and number of bike lanes -Traffic signal activators for cyclists and peds -Education for everyone (bicycles operating as a vehicle not on sidewalks endangering pedestrians, proper passing distance: 3', etc.) Doing these things will make walking/cycling safer and will increase the number of pedestrians/cyclists. Increasing pedestrians/cyclists will in turn also make it even safer because the more there are, the more aware drivers become. 143 Several highways in Flagstaff need increased shoulders to promote safe cycling. This includes Milton Road and Fort Valley Road. 144 It seems most locals are used to the number of bikers in Flagstaff and are willing to share the road. I have most concern from out of town visitors who do not share the same attitude as the locals. They do not seem as aware or used to the idea of bicycle commuters and tend to cut us off or endanger our ride in this way. 145 Better education for drivers to be more aware of cyclists. 146 Hy-way 180, from the moment it begins in Flagstaf, is poorly maintained, has sections with many dangerous pot holes, has no shoulder in most sections and there is no dedicated, safe bike path at all, anywhere. 147 In Flagstaff: the curve on 180 at Hidn Holo is scary, surprised no cyclists have been hurt there. The RR underpass on Rt 66/Milton continues to daunt cyclists. Remove the stairs to help this. Many of Flag's highways lack decent & continuous bike lanes. Make sure lanes are both adequate & rumble strips are cut w/ cyclists needs in mind (unlike the abomination on 180 from Hidden Hollow northward- too wide & wandering renders the shoulder nearly unridable). 148 Don't waste any more money on bike lanes. 149 More bike paths and educating drivers that bicyclist should be treated just like a car - if you can't pass without sufficient space between your car & bike, then wait until you can. Too many people cut within a foot of a bike just to pass when there is oncoming traffic. Rarely do they leave 5 ft. as required by law. 150 Widen existing shoulders, and include wide shoulders in new highways. Increase awareness of bicycle laws with signage 151 We need a continual education of drivers to respect the bike rider. 152 Keep shoulders clean. When resurfacing the roadway, also resurface shoulder, HWY 188 along Roosevelt Lake, shoulder is worse than main road. 153 I believe in order for u to accomplish more use of bike/walk use is when doing major repairs overlays etc is to add the 4'bike path. Something that could have been done on Beaverbead road off 179 and road going thru Cornville. Easy to do the it didn't. 154 Being more careful with the placement of rumble strip, so that it does not make the shoulder unusable for cyclists. 155 Fine people who text and drive, and use the funds to increase cycling shoulders or lanes. Put bumps on shoulder white line to wake up drivers who wander. Increase the traffic control system ability to "see" cyclists, so they are not left in the road waiting for multiple lights.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 156 Inform the public about the rights and rules of bicycling on the streets. 157 Increasing the percentage of trips to work by walking or bicycling will reduce the number of cars on the road which in turn, will most likely decrease the number of bicyclist and pedestrian injuries and fatalities. Widening the paved shoulders of state highways will also decrease the number of car- bike accidents, which when dealing with highway speeds, are often very serious or fatal to a cyclist. 158 As bicycle use increases, injuries and fatalities are likely to increase, as well. A better goal would be to decrease the injuries and fatalities per 100,000. I marked this least priority for that reason and because addressing the second and third items will help achieve the fourth (as modified). 159 I wouldn't put too much into more multi-use paths if we are talking bicycles. Multi use paths are great for joggers and dog walkers but you cannot ride at a decent pace because you have joggers with I-pods in their own world and dog walkers with those extend and retract leashes that allow the dog to get tangled up in a front tire in a second (and I love dogs) 160 green areas www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/www/groups/.../wcms1p-083551.pdf increase sensitivity of stop light sensors in the ground to sense bike waiting for light. Going to the walk way to push the pedestrian button places cyclist at risk. OR develop and sell a small device that "tells" the light a cyclist is at light and cause the light to cycle; OR access button easily from bike lane; Education of drivers; education of ~ bias abounds; have schools promote bicycling to school. 161 properly educate to enforce the rules of the road equally for all. motorists do not own the road. we all pay taxes for building and maintaining facilities. bicycles are vehicles and not toys. bicycles improve the quality of the environment and personal health. 162 Increase bicyclists knowledge of and respect for traffic laws and other vehicles 163 Improve design of roads to make bicycling more safe and 'feel' more safe. 164 Rather than increase the shoulders on freeways, it would make it much more enjoyable and safer for bicyclists if bike paths along the highways were not directly next to traffic. In other words, make the paths their own entities but near the freeways. On I-17 N to Flagstaff, a bike path in the national forest between Mountainaire and Flagstaff would be much utilized. How about a forest service partnership to make a path through the forest service land near or adjacent to the freeway? 165 I would like to see more bicycle lanes, signs informing drivers to look for cyclists and a reduction in the noisy bumps that indicate a vehicle has left their lane (at least in the cycling area). 166 biker education -- bikes are cars as far as the law goes, they need to travel with traffic, single file, observe stolights/signs, and not ride on sidewalks. riding against traffic, and with headphones can kill. is needed. 167 Wider paths next to the road, so that bicyclist don't have to use the road. 168 If you want to decrease the number of injuries, increase the minimum bicycle lane to 6 feet on major thoroughfares, require bicycle lanes on all main roads, and standardize lights to have a countdown clock for all intersections. 169 1) I believe one state representative had a proposal to introduce red light=stop sign, stop sign=yield sign legislation (as exists in some other states) for bicycles. That would be worth ADOT supporting, would help safety and possibly encourage trips to work. At no actual cost. 2) It sometimes seems like projects put in bike lanes where there is lots of space, but not in pinch points where they would be difficult to engineer, but more valuable. 170 Require every road scheduled to be maintained to be brought up to "complete streets" standards - at least adding or maintaining bike lanes, symbols, and sidewalks. Add "complete streets" language into all state planning documents henceforth if it is not already there. Require portions of highway funding and space to be put exclusively towards bike/ped access. Require MVD's to include in driver's license tests questions about sharing the road. Bike lanes, bike lanes, bike lanes!

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 171 Clear signs indicating bike lanes, providing links and resources to learn about biking and bike safety, perhaps providing free/cheap bike helmets to people at a special event, 172 More independent bike and pedestrian pathways that connect cities and provide an alternative to riding/walking on the roadway. An independent path would increase safety and encourage people to walk/bicycle to work due to the lower risk and higher commuting options. 173 Incentives to universities and businesses for pushing bike to work/school days each week or month. (Not just one week or one month per year). - Incentives could be vouchers to local restaurants or free lunch to those who ride, etc. 174 Signage that states something positive for walkers and bicyclist. I walk and bicycle here in Prescott. Right here there are too many drivers talking on cell/texting phones and driving. When is the state of AZ going to do something about this? 175 require bike path/lanes on all new consturction and modifications to exisitng roadways. 176 Increase the number of bike lanes and sidewalks. My biggest fear about bicycling anywhere is being hit by a car. But I do walk a lot in my neighborhood and there are still major streets with no sidewalks. 177 Increase bike lanes and make sure they are the correct width. Many of the bike lanes are not 3' and often this measurement includes the gutter pan. 178 Tax bicyclists to fund the expansion of their bike lanes. 179 Hwy 87 North of Payson is a very popular route and needs to have priority in getting a bike/pedestrian lane. There are blind curves and steep drop off areas that are a danger to both bikers, hikers and autos when they share the road. 180 a bike path that follows the 51 all the way downtown. bike lanes all the way down central from Washington to Dunlap. wider bike lanes. more bike signage 181 Charge a license and registration fee for bicyclist to use State, County and city roads. Money could be used to fund the improvements needed to protect cyclists that use them. 182 Would it be possible to incorporate a cooperation test into the driver's test to weed out the competitive drivers from those who play it safe? Also, how about an awareness test that discerns which drivers know pavement and lanes of traffic from a sidewalk? While behind the wheel, I have actually had drivers use the sidewalk as a passing lane to get around me or to make a right turn at an intersection! 183 The simplest way to reduce bicyclist injuries is to create shared use paths wherever possible, connecting the paths to state highway at selected places. This allows people to ride their bikes on surfaces where motorists do not drive, eliminating bicyclist-vs-automobile accidents (at least for bicyclists on the shared use paths). Including shared use paths on all state highway improvement projects is the best way to accomplish all of these goals. 184 more bike paths in Tucson. Maybe a path that runs from foothills of the Catalinas to downtown Need one that runs N. and South. More roads like Mountain to aleviate high speeds. Lower speed limits in neighborhoods to 15 185 More bike lanes! 186 eliminate rumble strips on rural highways where there is no alternate parallel route. 187 Honestly, I feel like the problem with bicyclist injuries and fatalities is a part of a bigger problem - Arizona drivers drive too fast and run traffic lights and stop signs. If there were more incentives to slowing down and stopping, there would be less injuries. Cameras at intersections are a good way of achieving this. Also, there ought to be more bike paths - safe ones! 188 Trip reduction data on where bicyclists are and where they need to go 189 Charge bicycles a user fee to help pay for their use of taxpayer money. Educate bicyclists and pedestrians on LAWFUL use of streets and crosswalks. Enforce the laws 190 Think of night time safety when planning routes. Routes should be connect to other routes, and

Plant more trees and maintain existing vegetation in hotter parts of the the sates and cities, so the temperature is cooler for exercising outdoors. 191 Solicit donations and contributionsa from the general public. Or conduct a survey indicating the number of people who would be willing to donate either money or time to help create this project. This would indicate public interest and whether you should proceed. 192 Raise a ton of money by ticketing motorists and motorcyclists who endanger the lives of pedestrians and and cyclists. 193 Work with cities and towns where ADOT roads merge with city and town bike ways. In cities and towns, I personally never use a bike lane when or where there is traffic. The adjacent sidewalk is so much safer. But the sidewalks often need repair, if not for the sake of bikes, then for baby strollers and wheel chairs. 194 It is absurd to me that, in order to get from Tempe to central Phoenix, we have to bike around Sky Harbor rather than go through it. How about an easier route into central Phoenix? 195 Integrate Complete Street concepts into future designs of highways and roads: http://www.completestreets.org/ Increase the amount of bike lanes over 4 feet along highways. 196 Make sure state hwy system has SAFE areas for people to bike run and walk to promote health and well being 197 Have more signs that say "Watch for bicyclists and pedestrians" in turn outs or areas that car drivers consistently forget to look. Have a painted box with x's marking "Stop here for pedestrians and bicyclists" for cars to get used to stopping before the sidewalk, not on it, as I believe this is the majority of time's I have almost been hit by cars. 198 Increase enforcement of existing laws regarding the interaction of bike riders and cars. Make laws prohibiting cell phone use while driving cars, motorcycles or bicycles. 199 A big problem for me is debris (rocks, sand, etc.) across the pavement where I'm riding my bike. If I'm riding on the shoulder of a highway, I may need to move into the travel lane... which can be dangerous. To me, that argues for sidewalks and shared-use paths... as long as they can be kept fairly clean somehow. 200 Your online survey is "inactive" and will not accept my choices...... can you please re-send it incase your system was not setup correctly to begin with. Thank you, Patricia Averhoff [email protected] 201 Mark rotaries more clearly. The state of Maryland, for instance, adds, under the "YEILD" sign, another sign stating "to traffic in circle". Adding a rectangular. black and white sign saying (under the YEILD sign) "to traffic in circle, to bicycles and pedestrians" would certainly help, especially in towns with tourist traffic. 202 I believe that there needs to be more bicycle/pedestrian bridges across more roadways particularly within the cities. I live in the north valley and there are several restaurants within walking/biking distance but you take your life in your hands going across the street and have to go way out of your way to get to a cross walk. 203 Need bike lane or a shoulder without the rumble strip on Highway 179 south of the Village of Oak Creek and at least Beaverhead Flats Rd. Also highway 89A thru Sedona and up to Flagstaff needs bike access 204 Educate the bicyclists on proper road safety and rules of the road. It must be understood that they are held accountable for their actions just as a driver of a motor vehicle. 205 Educate the bicyclists on proper road safety and rules of the road. It must be understood that they are held accountable for their actions just as a driver of a motor vehicle. 206 Promote awareness of cyclists on the roads with advertisements and signage. 207 Please do not put rumble strips in shoulders where the bicyclists ride!!!! This seems to be common practice for ADOT and is not safe for bicyclists. In many cases the shoulder is narrow and lined with vegetation on the outside.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). Rumble strips could be put near the stripe in the auto lane and serve the same purpose. 208 Motorist education. 209 Study and target those areas that are used by cyclists most frequently so the efforts go to the most important areas first. Blanketing all areas with the same soloution would be less effective versus moving on the most popular areas first. 210 Add signage to locations along the frontage roads that alert cyclists to potential hazards ie) railroad spurs. There is a RR spur on the west (and east) frontage road near MP 242 (.85 miles west of Avra Valley Road interchange) that has caused a number of cyling accidents. 211 Make rumble strips on state highways safer for cyclists. 212 Add paved shoulders in the Cochise County state roads. Most of the SR's are old and narrow with vegetation close to the road, however this is some of the most scenic roadways and cyclists and pedestrians enjoy using them along with vehicular traffic. Vehicles travel at a high rate of speed on narrow roadways. 213 Increasing bicyclist safety is certainly the most important aspect. All the other goals will fall into place if cyclist felt safe enough to be on the road. One way to increase safety would be to educate drivers about rules of the road and implement programs that would encourage empathy toward cyclists instead of hostility. 214 Educate the public on how to drive when a cyclist or pedestrian is present 215 Need more bike paths and especially dedicated trails/paths. Personally would not ride a bike on a highway due to safety concerns. 216 add number of seconds left on walk single. 217 More bike lanes, especially on roads that are heavily traveled by cyclists 218 Add bike lanes to all roads! Please! For everyone's safety. 219 Don't waste the taxpayer money on this non-sense! 220 Bike lanes where needed on frontage roads between Continental Rd (Green Valley) and Tubac. 221 Pave the shoulders of the VERY frequently used Bullhead City bypass for use by bicyclists; at some of the shoulder, bikes MUST get into the traffic lane to avoid almost certain flats and to get a better surface to pedal. 222 Paved shoulders on the West Frontage Road on I-19 in Green Valley from Continental road to Canoa TI. 223 The state of Arizona should start enforcing much more harsh penalties for drivers who hit pedestrians or cyclists. If the state of Arizona is serious about sharing the road with cyclists, there needs to be much harsher penalties for collisions where a car strikes a pedestrian or cyclist. 224 Post signs alerting of cyclists on the roadway, for example, to allow 4 ft distance. 225 The most important consideration, the safety of bicyclist and pedestrians, can be accomplished by having separated, barrier protected sidewalks and/or shared use paths along the roadways. 226 Wide paved highway shoulders also have signficant automobile safety benefits, which is why they should be the first priority. 227 Add traffic signals for bikers and pedestrians since many don't seem to know that auto signals also apply to them. 228 Appropriate striping, signage and space for bicycles will likely decrease the number of injuries. 229 Al.ways include wide shoulders when constructing roads 230 Slow traffic speeds, implement traffic-calming devices in neighborhoods, create safer crossings at major arterials, boost driver education about bicycle and pedestrian rights (including creating PSAs), ban cell phone use while driving in the Arizona, create a state-wide "Smart Trips" program 231 Way too many cyclists are in great danger from roads that don't have bike lanes or adequate shoulders 232 Add signage and PSA's to educate drivers to be more aware. Continue to add more bike paths to streets.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 233 Start by making the shared use paths safer by placing signs at intersections. Bicycle riders don't obey the direction of travel and often cross major streets in the crosswalks, against the flow of traffic, and against the red signal. Start a massive education program to teach people the laws regarding riding bicycles on the streets and paths. Change the law regarding bicyclists riding in crosswalks. Mandate that all cities build shared use paths that meet AASHTO and MUTCD . 234 Pave shoulders on I-19 frontage roads, SR 83 (I-10 to Sonota, and stripe shoulders under/over I- 10 in Tucson District. 235 Ban bicyclists from State Highways with no paved shoulders 236 have 5k/10k, walks, bike races, etc to help raise funds. 237 Most motorists don't know that cyclists are permitted by law to use the road. Most cyclists aren't even clear on this. Sharrows, signage, enforcement -- anything to educate users of the road is desperately needed. 238 Bike lanes and clean, paved shoulders for cyclists need to be a top priority. Education of motorists and law enforcement officers also needs to be a big priority. Cyclists are decreasing emissions and lowering the cost of healthcare by exercising a healthy alternative to driving, yet not enough is being done to protect us. 239 Safe pathways for walking and bicycling to relieve issues of traffic flow/jams, traffic fatalities, use of oil, cost of commute -- all while improving our health. Some elementary public transit would also help augment these efforts. Thank you. 240 Work with cities, towns, communities, etc. to have trails and bike paths have connectivity. 241 I would love to be able to get from Pinn Peak area to the Biltmore and Kierland all by using bike lanes. Lanes needed on Pinnacle Peak, Mayo Blvd, Greenway Hayden loop and Lincoln. I'd love to see the CAP Canal opened for foot and bike traffic. Any plans to build any divided bike/road options? - a curb or small median separating the car traffic from the bike lane in busy areas. 242 ADOT at the present time lacks the financial ability to provide 4 ft shoulders ( should really be between 6-8 ft.) or sidewalks and shared pathways. I would propose a contribution by the AZ state lottery to such projects. If that is not doable than I would propose a recreational tax to cover the cost of improving the roadways and adjacent easements to better accommodate bicyclist. Money could also be used via grants to municipalities and non-profits for similar purposes. 243 make sure there is a bike lane/bike path along the portion of the 202 that will go around the south and west side of South Mountain park....should it get passed. 244 Install a bridge over the wash behind Home Depot on Oracle north of First St. for the northern extension of the Oro Valley Linear Parkway to permit a continuous off road paved route from La to the Oro Valley Market place. 245 You might review Denver/CO's practices and codes. Given that it is safe and practical to Bicycle 15 or more miles from the Suburbs to Downtown. This saves daily downtown parking fees. All new residential construction has integrated Bike Paths. Thanks 246 increasing the number of people who walk or bike to work has huge social benefits for all of AZ. Improving the health of people which decreases the burden on health costs, personal costs, family burdens, etc.... Improves the air quality. Decreases our carbon footprint. Decreases auto traffic which reduces maintenance, accidents, pollution, noise, etc... Gets citizens connected to their local community and local businesses. 247 1. Rumble strips are too deep and should be over the white stripes, not to the right. 2. Clean shoulders and repave them when roads are done. 3. Educate! 248 -Include bicycle awareness when people get their drivers license. -Mandate that bicyclists take a safety course & wear helmets -Make more roads bicycle-friendly

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). -Ticket bicyclists who don't follow the rules of the road (by riding on sidewalks or running red lights) 249 Get more teeth into legislation and work to have the take more seriously vehicle/bicycle accidents. Increase the number of bike lanes on city streets. 250 Shoulders. 251 Many accidents that inbolved a cyclist and a cars had occured on a green arrow. Is there a way for both the cyclist and the motor veicle drivers to be aware of each other during the intersection crosing? 252 I would ride my bike to and from work most days if I thought it was safe. Our family would ride our bicycles to spend time together and remain active and healthy. Riding on the side of a road, except in a group (not a family) is dangerous for the bicyclist. It is not a prudent choice for someone with dependents. Paths along state highways would enable the safe use of bicycles, running, and walking as an attractive option for me and my family. 253 Carry out ongoing training for law enforcement (LE) that focuses on violations that lead to bicycle and pedestrian injuries or death. All parties engage in behavior that make roads less safe. LE must analyze bike and pedestrian injury and deaths, find which laws were broken, then focus enforcement in order to reduce injuries and deaths. LE personnel should selectively enforce laws with a reasoned, data-driven approach to reduce injury and deaths among pedestrians and bicyclists. 254 Tell the People what the existing paths are FOR. There are more people riding 4 abreast in the trafic lanes NEXT to the Bike Paths. You Know a Bicycle cannot travel as fast nas a car. YES I DO MOVE OVER FOR THEM WHEN POSSABLE. WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAVING FUN REASON GOES OUT THE WINDOW How about LICENSE PLATES FOR BYCYLES. WE had them in the 40's 255 Many European highways have adopted wonderful biking lanes and shoulders; lanes with a greater degree of separation from motorists, for example, or bike lanes separated by obstacles such as man-made or natural (eg trees) barriers. Laws requiring motorists to give a wide berth to cyclists are also more strictly enforced. 256 Better networks of paths, bike lanes, and most importantly, making motorists more aware of the presence of bicyclists and peds around them! Also note that wide shared-use paths located where sidewalks normally go are quite dangerous for cyclists in areas where there are numerous driveways or plaza entrances requiring cars to cross the paths. Drivers are rarely looking for cyclists at such places, and it's thus far safer for cyclists to ride in traffic rather than on such paths. 257 Bikes should have rear view mirror and be aware of overtaking vehicles. 258 I will not be riding a bike to work until they put showers and lockers everywhere! Bike paths along heavy congested automobile traffic are a waste of time and money, horrible experience and you are still not safe. Put some bike paths over BLM areas with no cars allowed and the experience of bicycling goes up logarithmically. Exercise and relaxation combined. There is nothing relaxing or enjoyable about riding 4 feet from fast moving traffic with sometimes questionable drivers. 259 While I doubt that it's financially feasible, something similar to Colorado's bike/pedestrian path that parallels I-70 would take bikes off the major highways. The best alternative would be widening the shoulders to four feet. The 9-mile stretch going toward phx on 87 would be a good place to start. also, 87 toward pine about a mile past payson. that is a beautiful but very dangerous place to ride. 260 More public awareness campaigns on SEEING cyclists and giving them at least 4 feet of passing space. Maybe its going to take having certain roads closed for cyclists on weekends on some sort of a rotating basis. More public awareness campaigns on using cycling as a means of transportation. 261 Need wide shoulders with rumble strips, such that Cyclists can comfortably ride 2x2. Audible noise from R strip allows cyclist to move right in the event a car drifts into the shoulder. Have noticed

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). recent ADOT repavements have removed the rumble strip. Now is all on driver to not drift. Why not keep the rumble strips to warn drivers of their drift and allow for peds/cyclists/distressed motorists/Highway Patrol officers, etc..to be warned when an oncoming vehicle is drifting onto the shoulder? 262 Separating biking/walking lanes from main traffic lanes would be the best way to decrease accidents although very costly on existing roadways. New or rework construction to separate the two users would be very beneficial in reducing accidents. 263 keep bicycles off the highway system 264 When ADOT resurfaces a highway, include resurfacing of the paved shoulder as well. Currently, many ride-able shoulders are being lost due to failure to maintain and repave. 265 Just painting a bike lane helps on any road even if there is street parking. 266 In there is a strip of "green" space between the road and the pedestrian/bicycle path wherever feasible. Lacking that, I think there should be a slight rise to the 4-foot paved shoulder, or at least lane bumps or something that warns motorists when they stray. (We don't have that in Sedona, and I think it's dangerous.) 267 Install bike /path on at least one side of Bell road from Grand Ave. to the 101. It is very dangerous riding in the road. In other states the Fed Hwy ?Adm. requires it. 268 Develop a coordinate network of bike routes that encourage more people to bike. Aggressively pursue outside funding, including federal funds. 269 Share the road signage, wide, paved shoulders, true penalties for those who hit cyclist, share the road PA's on tv, radio, web, etc. 270 All bridges should have bike lanes in both directions. Of particular concern is the bridge on Happy Valley Rd just East of the 303 intersection. I no longer ride it because of the heavy traffic, construction vehicles and lack of bike lanes. The nuimber of close calls I have had or seen on this bridge is horrifying. And I have had similar experiences on other bridges around the state. 271 Place wider paved shoulders, keep shoulders free of debris by also using DOC workers to sweep up glass, etc. More are using roads for cycling so lets do it and do it well. 272 Many state highways are not conducive to walking or bicycling in the road. Either the roads are too narrow such as 2 lane roads or the speeds are too fast to combine cars with those activities. In those cases, the bicycle lanes/paths need to be separated from the road. 273 Bike paths in kingman. maybe something on the shoulder of I-40 from beale st to andy devine av. of course include all 6 on and off ramps. 274 Enforce existing driving regulations in regards to alcohol. Discourage all forms of distracted driving. More designated bike pathways - wider right lanes - Increase awareness within the bicycle community that they are hard to see at from dusk through dawn- and campaign to encourage them to buy reflective gear - like vests or shirts- mandate lights on bicycles - Thank you 275 The shoulder should be reasonably smooth. Speed bumps should be shortened leaving a path on the side. In cities have a perimeter path separate from roads, and diagonal paths from one corner to the other. Then people could get just about anywhere and minimize being in traffic. State and popular roads had shoulders a couple of feet wide and had pavement in reasonably good shape. Often the edge of the road is in rough shape and unsafe. Good signage and maps. 276 Separate the bikeway/sidewalk from the traffic. Create a barrier between the bikeway and traffic lane so that cars do not collide with bicyclists. Cycle tracks will make bicyclists feel safer and encourage more bike trips. Flagstaff has very nice cycle tracks along U.S. Route 89. http://streetsblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Montreal+Cycle+tracks.jpg. http://highwaycyclinggroup.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/dsc01258.jpg?w=470&h=352 277 bike lanes or wide shoulders are great. If they aren't kept clean of debris and cyclists don't use them because of this, then they are a waste of money.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 278 Bicyclist & Pedestrian Transportation on a Freeway??? Are you trying to get people killed??? What you really need to do is INCREASE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (LIKE A BUS that carries bicycles) ON THE FREEWAY SO PEOPLE IN SMALL RURAL COMMUNITIES CAN GET TO LARGE METROPOLITAN AREAS where there is already sidewalks for bicyclist & pedestrians, and inter-city public transportation in-place! Currently Arizona does NOT have public transportation on the FREEWAYS! 279 I was an avid cyclist in San Diego, riding to work etc. Kingman residents are VERY anti-bike. Drivers make it quite dangerous. Here bikes have NO business on the roads. Perhaps education programs?? Thank you. 280 having a shared pathway, similar to the rillito river wash path, the santa cruz river path & the aviation path that runs through more midtown. Other wise, creating a bigger, better, existent bike lane & major commuting streets such as grant road. 281 I am not sure if ADOT can make any impact on the use of cell phones and the danger they pose to any and all things on the roadways. This problem should be a top concern for all involved in roadway improvment and safety. As far as road improvments I think the best way to improve the system is to have connecting paths or bike routes that enable a rider to access all areas of town without hazardous routes to get there. Thank you for all your efforts and work. 282 Have shared use bike/walk paths that run parallel or close to major traffic arteries that people often take to work. If we had dedicated paths that ran streets such as "airway" it would be a good thing. Hualapai mt road has a good example of a decent sidewalk. I put decrease fatalities as the lowest priority because I think if you focus on these other tasks it will naturally decrease. Increased shoulders is good for bicyclists as well as motorcycles and even cars. 283 I'm taking a 'build it they will come' approach here... more trips by bike and few injuries are certainly extremely important. I think fewer injuries are the result of more people out (bicycles becoming commonplace on roads, other users accustomed to operating near them) and more trips is the result of more facilities. 284 All the items ranked lower than decreasing injuries and fatalities are supportive of this goal. 285 Increasing bicyclists' knowledge of safe riding would probably go a long way toward reducing injuries and deaths. I still see at least 10 people a day on bikes riding on sidewalks and against traffic. 286 Cars still think that bike lanes are turning lanes and continue to cu toff cyclists, decreasing the safety of cyclists. Signs should be posted more frequently and more conspicuously that bike lanes are for bikes only. In addition, the study manual for driving's licenses does not even address the proper use of bike lanes! 287 Educate drivers better of how to be aware of pedestrians and cyclists and not just look for other cars. 288 For decreasing bicyclist and pedestrian injuries, there needs to be a culture change among drivers. I'd like to see a media campaign to raise awareness of the vulnerability of pedestrians & cyclists. The state has had very effective campaigns for issues such as smoking and meth consumption, and now it's time to use "reality" techniques and brutal honesty to show drivers how many lives they affect each year and how they need to pay more attention and stop treating pedestrians as targets. 289 More paved shoulders on all roads. 290 Allow bikes on sidewalks. There are too many erratic drivers on the roads that it is more dangerous to ride on the bike paths. Many parents prefer kids to ride on the sidewalks. This is Arizona. How many people are using sidewalks in the heat of the day. Lots of unused sidewalks in the city. 291 Most state highways simply have no shoulder for cyclists to ride on, forcing them onto roadways.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). When in between cities, cyclists will not be in a rush to get to the next city, and thus will travel slower, while auto and truck traffic will be going 55 or 65 mph. This is a dangerous recipe or impending disaster. 292 ease bicycle laws to allow bicyclists to crosswalks and enforce rules with more severe punishment to automotive harassment to same. 293 Add Bots Dots to the white line between vehicle and bike traffic. Support "Pump Tracks." These are dirt parks for BMX and mountain bikes, inexpensive, built in empty lots, they encourage kids to get out and ride. Support or start routes without cars one day a month. Pick a route, block it off, vendors line the route with drinks and other health products, people ride, skate, etc. along the route. City does it, for God's sake and we don't!!! 294 Make is easier for promoters to get permits to have bicycles events. I put on 6 that use State Roads and ADOT permits (rick management) have made it the harders and takes the longest to get a permit. Insurance amounts is greater than other goverments. Why can't local approve permits 100% instead of having risk management getting involved. They did it for years. 295 I would support improvements in surfaces, marking, etc. for on-road bicycle lanes and appropriate educations of drivers and cyclists to share such roads. I think separate off-road bike paths have their place, such as for over or under-passes of major highways in urban areas, but in general, commuter miles are best promoted with on-street improvements. 296 Re-pave Hwy 179 from the RRRD Visitors Center to Hwy I-17. Hwy 179 was installed with rumble strips which the road did not qulify for under the four foo burm ADOT rule and has cause serious injury to cyclists who are now forced to ride in the car traffic lane rendering the burm useless. My husband has suffered with his life for this mistake as have others. Strangely the DPS will no report these accidents. 297 Identify and remedy heavily traveled bike routes lacking sufficient shoulders (example: McDowell from 76th St to Ellsworth). 298 Lets place bike trails along all rrd rights of way creeks & washes, and along all canal systems. Mid section roads might be opened up to get bikes off of busy section line road ways. Neighborhoods should c cooperate in getting bikes through. 299 Drivers are distract and pedestrians and cyclist are no match when sharing the same space. 300 Incorporate the wide shoulder or bike lane space into the standard cross-section for all state roadways. Require implementation of roadway improvements that implement this cross-section across the frontage of all properties seeking new access permits as a condition of permit approval. 301 Continued development of and improved bike (shared use) paths. please... 302 Highway rumble strips should be positioned immediately to the right of the white line so as to leave as much shoulder as possible for bicycles to use. A rumble strip in the center of the shoulder will almost certainly force bicyclists to ride close to to on the white line, or within the driving lane. 303 Create streets that have a bike lane created by having streetside parking far enough away from the curb for a bike to be able to travel between parked cars and the curb. Then, parked cars act as a barrier between bikes and moving vehicular traffic. 304 3 foot paved shoulders, 4 foot if a rumble strip is included for all state highways and county roads. 305 More bike lanes and publicity re: sharing the road 306 more time and effort spent educating drivers the laws regarding bicycles on public streets and roadways. more roads with bike lanes and signs to remind drivers that bicycles have the right to use public roadways too. 307 Every highway in Arizona should have at least an 18 inch shoulder. A great example that would help tourism and bring cycling enthusiasts to Arizona's smaller towns would be to add shoulders to roads between show low, sunrise ski area and springerville. Presently these are examples of roads that attract tourists that are not bicycle friendly. 308 Bicyclist have to agree that, the specific lane is also for Golf Carts. Sometimes they both think it is just for them.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 309 Refrain from building more roads. 310 As a cyclist I have found the shared use paths not very safe or practical. Pedestrians often stop in front of cyclist they do not hear approaching, who may be clipped into their bike. With pedal clips or cages even at a slow speed it may be impossible to suddenly stop with out tipping over. I have also had people wearing ear buds step into my path. As strange as it may seem, I actually feel safer sharing the road with cars. 311 Improve bike lanes. Make all roads have bike lanes. Provide lower taxes to people who bike to work. 312 ADOT should include safety updates or flyers in all correspondence. New traffic laws could be included, tips on reregistering, and information on sharing the roads, including cycling is legal on roads, give 3 feet or more, and treat them like other users such as other cars, farm tractors, etc. 313 Most education has seemed to be aimed at cyclists. More emphasis needs to be placed on motorist education - through signage, testing when renewing licenses, outreach activities, special publications, etc. 314 With bike lanes on roads as they have in Mesa, many more commutes would be made by bike, thus doubling trips to work by bike. People would feel safer. Sidewalks and shared paths are ok, but not great for bicyclists due to sharing traffic with unpredictable pedestrians, kids, dogs. 315 #2 & #3. Until more bicyclists and pedestrians are willing to take responsibility for their own lives, I do not believe that injuries/fatalities will decrease. I bicycle & see other bicyclists go through red lights, stop signs, & ride on the wrong side of the road. Frankly, I am surprised there aren't more fatalities. 316 Hold smaller public forums where individual communities can provide feedback on the needs of sidewalks or shared-use paths. Make a special effort to engage minority or lower-income segments of the population. 317 I ride bikes every day either hard core w/LOTS of friends or leisurely w/my son to/from school, store, pleasure, etc… We’ve had tons of close calls. Unfortunately 1 friend wasn’t so lucky & was killed in Scottsdale on 3/11/12. Just this past Tues an older couple decided they had right of way & purposely drove into bike lane cutting us off. SOLUTION: Public knowledge & responsibility, and a law for cell phone usage calls & texting...NOW, before more of my friends are injured or killed! 318 provide incentives to employers to implement a ride a bicycle to work program. 319 All of these bike paths do nothing but give less room to the vehicles that DO use them. When you have a sidewalk running next to a road then that is where they need to be not in the roadway. Thousands of cars travel on roads that have no turn lanes that would allow cars not to have to slow, behind a car that is turning right. It's too hot in Phoenix to bike or walk in the summer. Sidewalks are where they need to be. Cover the bus stops so people don't fry. 320 Shared use is the least effective way to encourage walking/cycling because you're still pitting pedestrians and bikes against cars. Walking and biking need to be made safer with separation from cars. Check out what they did in Holland. Expenditure upfront might be greater, but the long term benefits are well worth it. 321 se miles of state highway with 4 feet shoulders 322 Vehicles are running over bicyclists and pedestrians due not paying attention and/or distractions such cell phones and texting. These must be reduced or stopped! 323 Move the bicycle paths off of the main streets. Like a sidewalk or seperate path. 324 Creation of more shared-use paths along highways (or partner with other agencies to develop paths along canals/rivers/etc) 325 More bike lanes. 326 Sometimes on bike routes there is a nice wide path and then suddenly it narrows severely or disappears. Also, keeping the debris off the cycling path would prevent riders from having to enter traffic.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 327 instituting one, or better, two questions regarding rules /regulations by placing these questions on the Az Drivers License written test. This way potential applicants must review the bicycle rules/regulations information that would be provided in the study booklet. By adding a question, or two; applicants would then read the information preparing for the test. This would result in far more people at least reading the information...which will educate the public. 328 Although decreasing bicyclist and pedestrian injuries and deaths is obviously extremely important, having paved shoulders or bike lanes of at least 4 feet or greater is almost equally important. It is absolutely essential to keep motorists and cyclists separated as much as possible. 329 Put in bike lanes EVERYWHERE. Quit ending bike lanes 200 feet before traffic lights. What the hell am I supposed to do, get off and walk 1/2 mile through every intersection? 330 The ruts in the road to alert drivers they are veering off the road or onto the shoulder are excellent idea on all roads. Especially with all of the folks texting and driving. 331 Continue your interest in this worthwhile project! I do not have any further insights. I am not a cyclist and I AM a pedestrian. I am also aware that many motorists of a more traditional (conservative and fundamental OLD belief) actively disLIKE anyone who wants to alter the status quo. Those folks generally dislike wind and solar and nuclear power and anyone who might have the stupidity to disagree with them. PLEASE continue advocacy for this issue. 332 Add more bike lanes to heavy traffic roads such as Via De Ventura Rd, PIMA RD, Shea Blvd. If you add more bike lanes, I can assure you more people will get out biking. 333 Thank you! More dedicated bike lanes and signage (share the road w bikes, minimum 3 feet, etc). Required training program to educate law enforcement officials first, then public about AZ cycling laws (drivers must allow minimum 3 feet). Cycling law knowledge required in Drivers License exam. Much stiffer penalties for motorists who hit cyclists - now it's just a small fine! Pass distracted driver laws (no text and drive). 334 Training and communication for citizens and especially LAW ENFORCEMENT is crucial to the success of this plan. The current environment is very hostile between cyclists and motorists, including harassment from uninformed law enforcement officials in the northern part of the valley. 335 My survey would have rated 2, 3, & 4 as number 1 in importance if the buttons would have allowed. I also think number 1 is important but since I am retired it really does not apply to me. I just moved to Glendale and must complement the Valley cities to their commitment to bike paths on roads and along the canals. Very nice and something to be proud of. Thanks bill 336 Outlaw texting and driving 337 Most important is for paved lanes need to be wide enough to accommodate bicycles alongside vehicles. Separated lanes are actually confusing to everyone--especially at intersections. Just curious, how many of these surveys do we have to fill out, or meetings do we need to attend before ADOT moves to DO something? I've been doing commenting for YEARS and nothing seems to happen. 338 Don't build cemented flower pots, bumps, barricades, cemented wall fences, around the bicycler’s path roads; Increase the number of roads for bicyclers on streets and visible high raised signs to the traffic vehicles drivers; Increase path roads for bicyclers all over the city streets; Enforce "share the road with bicyclers" program to educate vehicles traffic drivers with County Transportation Department; Increase more signs raised high to show very visible the flow of the bicycler’s path roads 339 i believe safe alternatives to our busy highways are very important. we are in dire need of a bike/pedestrian under-or-over-pass at the old town springs crossing of the train tracks in flagstaff. this is one of the most popular spotts to cross the tracks in order to avoid the busy and dangerous milton/rt 66 road. safe alternatives to busy roads would increase bike use for families and other people afraid of sharing the road with cars. 340 The condition of the roads in Tucson is horrendous. I feel that we have a sufficient amount of bike lane, but I find myself often swerving into traffic in an attempt to avoid potholes and cracks.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 341 More bike lanes, many areas I try to commute have a nice bike lane, and then it all of sudden stops and I have to ride with traffic. 342 Bike lanes need to increase - we do not have enough on busy streets like Rural. For funding, consider fundraising rides. Bicyclists raise money for so many causes (Bike MS raised 400K, Tour de Cure raised $500K). I am sure AZ bicyclists would get together and raise money for this cause. 343 Repave the "bike lanes" that are actually extended gutters on McDowell just West of Pima. They are dangerous. 344 If you want people to ride on the shoulders, you need to sweep them, pave them as well as the road and get rid of the rumble strip. 345 Complete side walks: In my neighborhood there is broken sidewalk along a few major roads - nice sidewalks through the neighborhoods but then a 0.5mile or 1mile stretch (sometimes less) where there is no sidewalk whatsoever. Very dangerous for the biker (or walker), especially at night when these areas suddenly approach (due to lack of street lighting). 346 Improve laws to have stiffer penalties for the injury or death of cyclist involved in car/bicycle accidents! 347 Provide more secured areas for bicycle storage in high employment areas. Increase parking fees for non-car pool commuters. Increase awareness of existing pagnet.org incentives. More highly publicize reduction of pollution produced by using bicycles, buses, or carpooling for travel. 348 I think that if there were some kind of barrier between the bike lanes and traffic, especially on high speed roads, this might at least help with decreasing injuries due to inattentive drivers. Or, creating paths that are set apart from the road entirely just for recreational use. 349 Get bicyclist and pedestrians as far away from road ways as possible most bicyclist think they own the road and will get in front of cars and do not follow the laws when it comes to signaling or stopping at stop signs. Bicyclist pull in the left turn lanes and hold up traffic. 350 "Double the percentage of trips to work by walking or bicycling within the next 10 years." Increase the amount of canal paths with paved sidewalks or graded dirt. For safety have bike lanes end in realistic places like intersections. There is a bike lane near my house on Higley Road just north of Ray that ends at a turn lane with no apparent place for a bicyclist to continue riding, Have more pedestrian crosses at the canal path intersections. 351 test 352 Bike paths on streets are critical. I ride Queen Creek from Power to Dobson several times a week. The most dangerous section is at the chandler airport. I ride on the left side of the road so I can see the people coming. I see people swerving to miss me as I occupy the approx. 6" of shoulder on that section of road. It is very scary. If I had a wider bike path, I would ride on the right side of the road. 353 Involve communities more. 354 Shoulders greater than 4 feet wide would make them safer for cyclists and pedestrians, plus some sort of physical separation between the car lanes and shared use paths (like trees, which would also provide shade while using the paths). 355 Push for no cell phone use while driving. 356 Keeping the shoulders clean of debris is important to bicycle safety too. 357 Replace existing crosswalk signals with the audio type they use in Scottsdale (Chapparral & Hayden). Additional signage @ right turn lanes to yield to pedestrians. 358 Separate bike and non motorized vehicle lanes along busy hiways and streets. 359 Seperation of bicycle and motor vehicle roadways will do the most to reduce bicyclist injuries and fatalities 360 This survey is malfunctioning. I can't select the options above. 361 "Bike lanes" that are actually repurposed gutters (along McDowell Rd just West of Pima) should be repaved to be actual bike lanes.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 362 All roads need to have bike lanes. There are roads that have wonderful bike lanes, and then they end. The cyclist is left hugging the white line because the bike lane disappeared. This upsets the driver in the car, as they do not think we should be on the road. It also upsets the cyclist. We do our best to stay on that white line, and meanwhile we get buzzed and hoonked at by cars. 363 Bicyclelist must be license and take a test on the rules of the road. I am tired of them riding on the wrong side of road, not stopping at stop signs, doing all kinds of unsafe riding...... please!!!!!!! 364 Increased knowledge of bicycle regulations for the public and public safety officers. And Green Lanes!! 365 Incentives/rewards for businesses promoting cycling. Increase cycle awareness. Stiffen and enforce penalties for motorists infringing on cyclist rights. Pave better roads and with more shoulders/bike lanes. More cycling focused "holidays" 366 A simple solution would be to identify stretches of road where bike lanes exist, then vanish, then re-appear. A relatively short length of road without a functional bike lane makes using the entire length of the road less safe and attractive to me. 367 Start citing people for distracted driving; fine and severely punish drivers appropriately for hitting cyclists/peds (ie: $420 fine for the woman in Scottsdale who ran over and killed a cyclist?!?); public service campaign to share the road and stop distracted driving! 368 Make urban areas more bicycle and pedestrian friendly by incorporating this requirement in all road construction projects. Work with counties, towns, and other municipalities to make these requirements universal throughout Arizona. 369 Bike lanes need to be more prevalent and wider as well as swept by a street sweeper on occasion. 370 Add rumble strips along bike lanes 371 Provide enough space between rumble strips and edge of pavement or guardrails for bikes to safely ride single file. 372 LETS TEACH OUR BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIAN THE RULES OF THE ROAD AS WE DO FOR OTHERS DRIVING AND SUCH. 373 Provide wide smooth shoulders for bike riders outside of the rumble strip. FYI, survey is NOT allowing clicks to fill in the survey choices . . . 374 Include multi-modal planning in every project. 375 I love the Aviation Parkway bike path. I am really looking forward to The Loop. Bike paths encourage bike riding, walking, and increase safety. 376 Add bike lanes to more roads and highways. It is nearly impossible to bike to work in Central Phoenix due to a lack of uncomplicated routes and pathways. Broadcast commercials on TV that remind drivers to LOOK for bicyclists. I am an avid road cyclist, and nearly every ride I have near miss collisions because drivers are distracted and inattentive. 377 add more and wider bike lanes on existing roadways. 378 Texting while driving is a HUGE issue. We need education and penalties. 379 Change the dumbest rule of all. That is; Cyclists being obligated to "ride with the flow of traffic". And turning their backs on motorist who should not otherwise be operating motor vehicles because of health or capability reasons. If I'm going to be hit by a MV while riding my bike, I want, at the very least, to have the opportunity to take evasive action and avoid a fatality. Mine. 380 Paint bike lanes green or a bright color so cars know that they should be careful. Tucson has done this downtown and it creates a nice warning. 381 Have shoulders wide enough for bike paths on all major roadways. Too many roads have no shoulder at all, especially on 2 lane roadways. 382 Any new road construction would include this requirement. Any road resurfacing, etc would include this requirement. 383 1st. Educate the public on bicycle rights while traveling on the street. 2nd. ADOT to work with AZ State legistaure to significantly increase the punishment for those that

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). injure/kill pedestrians/cyclists while operating a motor vehicle 3rd. AZ state ban on texting and driving. 4th. Enforcement of laws as they pertain to cyclists using the roadway. 5th. ADOT to place some type of periodic, short barrier seperating the bike lane from vehicle traffic 384 Ensure main ingress and egress thorogh-fares have adequate space for bicycles and pedestrians to safely travel. Example: Sandario Road from Emigh to Rudasill and Picture Rocks Road. I am more concerned about the safety of those who bike for their means of transportation than I am for those who do so for fitness. 385 Bicycle lanes are obviously not working. Separate paths will help. Legislation may help - ie passing vehicular manslaughter laws. Stiffer fines / penalties for cell phone use / texting while in car. Obviously legislation changes aren't in your domain, but you can provide input to the . 386 Our law enforcement needs to take all collisions seriously. Violations need to be charged, not dismissed as "accidents". Commuting by bike and foot will increase as they become safer. 387 There has been discussion of making bike lanes wider and raised as well as adding rumble strips to alert those that are drifting into them. Also, those that injure or kill cyclists should face severe criminal penalties. It is an absolute disgrace that in Arizona it is a civil penalty with fines. Amy Alexander (killed cyclist Shawn McCarty) on Thompson Peak near 100th St. got away with paying $400+ in fines. TOTAL DISGRACE. There should also be laws against distracted and reckless driving. 388 Foster courtesy in the motoring public AND law enforcement regarding cyclists. 389 Please please please, as a community we beg of you to help make it safer to ride. Texting while driving is going to be the death of us all, but better bike lanes help. Maybe somehow publicize this issue more. 390 more bike lanes 391 Create bike lanes on all major streets within city limits. Put crossing lights where bike routes cross major roads. Fix potholes. 392 Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek can be a super biking destination for thousand of bikers every year. We need 179 and Verde Valley School Road completely bike friendly with bike lanes. We also need our community roads to have bike lanes. ADOT needs to seize on communities like ours that have this potential and make an extra effort to see that this happens. The time is now not 5 to 10 years from now. 393 -Add bike lanes. -Increase punishment for collisions with motorist cyclist incidents when the motorist is at fault. -Take laws that protect cyclist seriously for a change. 394 My family hopes that the Arizona Department of Transportation, builds subway and train routes to the West Valley: Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale. These cities have grown within the last 5 years and people could use a safer transportation system to go to Phoenix, ASU, Mesa, Scottsdale for jobs and entertainment. The impact on our pockets and the environment would be great. 395 Pave the canals. Use utility easements as bicycling conduits. Use more paint colors and patterns to increase safety. Increase signage and create new warnings and advisemaents. Create physical barrier between bike lanes and motor vehicle traffic. Dedicate some roads to bicycles on certain days. Redesign intersections. 396 1. Offer incentives through programs sponsored by state and local municipalities or other organizations who sponsor biking initiatives aimed at commuters. Perhaps targeting those who travel 12 or less miles to work or school.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 2. Identify and publish "ADOT-approved" routs for bike commuters. 3. Encourage/partner with businesses to get involved in employee-incentives for those who commute to work by bike. 397 Bike lane on AZSR 83 398 Achevie a continuous web of bike paths to be able to commute across the valley - ideally physically delineated from motor traffic. 399 Make bike lanes wider since drivers refuse to stay in their lanes. Make touching a cell phone while moving in a vehicle ILLEGAL. 400 Ensure that there is a complete bicycle lane along Rio Verde loop all the way to Hayden. Create bicycle lane from Beeline Highway to Saguaro Lake and then down into Mesa 401 Please consider the continuity of a bicyclist's trip. Often a path will end abruptly or the bike lane will be on the right-hand side of a right turn only lane so that bicyclists are in the path of turning cars. Where a path switches sides of the street or leaves roadside, etc there needs to be clear signage of what the suggested route is for bicyclists. If bicyclists are riding in a dangerous way (wrong way on a sidewalk) it often means there’s no bicycle path, the route’s unsafe or unsigned. 402 increase shoulders, and update rumble strips on state highways 403 Better education of drivers as to the rights of bicyclists. The 3-foot rule for passing a bicyclist should be on the written test and maybe there should be a sign created that can be placed on heavily biked routes. Police should enforce the laws more strictly and that means ticketing bicyclists too when they ride the wrong way, run red lights, etc. 404 Identify routes between major work/play/shopping centers and neighborhoods that would provide a safe trip on a bicycle or on foot. Create paths allowing folks access without having to compete with motor vehicles. The goal would be an education campaign around the phrase "why drive?!" The idea is that if you can achieve some work/play/shopping goals safely and efficiently without driving, then why do it. 405 Create a bike path along Grand Avenue from Peoria to Downtown Phoenix. 406 Dedicated bike lanes on roadways. Bike lanes should be WIDE, free of grates, man-holes and obstacles that make the bike lanes unsafe for cyclists. Bike lanes today are inadequate in width and safety! 407 Working with public and munincipal agencies in creating a feasible (economic and physical construction) network of paths and safe roadways for bicycle traffic. 408 Improving the shoulders of the Highway 87 409 more signage warning against distracted driving; keeping bike lanes clean and identifying the shoulders as bike lanes and to be aware - share the road. 410 Take advantage of available right of way to either "stripe" a bicycle lane or add a 4' wide bicycle lane. 411 Increase safety for bicyclists, pedestrians, (as well as motorcyclists and equestrians), by cracking down on texting/cell phones/distracted driving. Increase the penalties for injuring or killing a bicyclist, pedestrian, equestrian or motorcycle rider. 412 Amend road and bridge design standards to require improvements that allow safe bicycle travel. Retrofit highways with wide shoulders, bike lanes or parallel paths especially in urban areas.. Eliminate rumble strips or at least avoid placing them in middle of shoulder. Encourage cross state and cross region travel by bicycle. Support U.S. Bicycle Route system. 413 The priority should be improving the quality of the roads and highways within Arizona. 414 Widen the shoulders. All left turns at major intersections should have red, yellow, green arrow. 415 More bike lanes, especially buffered bike lanes are so important. If it was safer to bike, more people would do it! 416 ADOT can ensure that multimodal transportation is incorporated in the construction of ANY and ALL new infrastructure. Shared use paths along highways will be superior to a wider shoulder due to the huge speed differential between peds/cyclists and autos.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 417 We need a great deal more than FOUR FEET!!! SIdewalks are NOT merely "vehicle recovery zones." Separate the bike paths on highways from motorized traffic using either vehicle parking as the barrier OR a concrete mini barrier between the motorized vehicle lanes and the bike path. Do this and you will reduce accidents and force motorists to pat attention what they are doing when they are driving 418 Cyclist right to the road campaign. Drivers don't know that Cyclists should be on the road and not in the gutter or on the sidewalk. 419 Stiffer penalties for drivers that hit peds and riders. Better/cleaner bike lanes. Maybe even a lane separate from the road. 420 Driver and bicycle education should be #1. Cars and cyclists should be operating from the same set of expectations. What good are bike lanes if cars drive in them and bikes don't. 421 ROAD ARE FOR CARS, not bikes. 422 Implementing some sort of dividers, road buttons or other methods to impede drivers from entering the bike lane or alert them that they are drifting into a bike lane. 423 Add raised reflective bubbles to exising bike lanes and heavily used bike route shoulders to alert drivers when they are encroaching on a bike lane 424 Most people will not ride a bike to work because it is unsafe. Bike lanes are a must. Increase the safety with lanes and education to motorist and cyclist, more will ride to work. 425 Discourage or limit the riding of bicyles on highway 88 to Tortilla Flats. The road is too narrow, windy, too much traffic, and no shoulder to ride on. I admit it is a senic road and bicyclists love it and so do I. It would not be practical to widen it to be safe for bicycles. I do encourage provideing more oppertunity for bicycles and pedestrians where ever practicle throughout the state. 426 Increase penalty for drivers that harass, intimidate and ultimately injure cyclist 427 In order to double the percentage of trips to work by walking or bicycling, ADOT needs to play a central role in promoting bike/walking culture. To me, the first goal is completed by accomplishing the other goals listed - they are all necessary. We need safe routes throughout the town and connections to them, though we also need a safer atmosphere for bicyclists and pedestrians. This requires that drivers come on board with this - which will not be done without cultural shifts. 428 BAN BIKES ON ROADWAYS THAT DO NOT HAVE BIKE PATHS. THE ROADS ARE MADE AND PAID BY VEHICLES. CARS ARE BRAKING AND CROSSING CENTERLINES TO AVOID THESE BIKES CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. 429 Build bicycle or shared use lanes on all roads. Finish connecting all of the routes along the canal with pavement and underpasses, and provide protected turn signals for pedestrians and cyclists in shared use lanes. 430 I think increasing the number of miles of state highways with shoulders of 4ft. or greater will in effect, decrease the number of injuries and fatalities involving pedestrians and bicyclists, which will in turn increase the number of trips to work by walking or bicycling. 431 Well maintained bike lanes are a must. Regular street sweeping to minimize debris in the bike lane. Most of the normal road debris is pushed into the bike lanes by passing motor traffic. Road surface cracks and wear are often worse in the bike lanes. Increased and improved signage along bike lanes would increase motorists awareness of cyclists. 432 All of the above are worthy goals, however, at the root of all planning it must be remembered that CARS AND BIKES DON'T MIX WELL--CARS AND PEDESTRIANS DON'T MIX WELL. Bike and walking paths should be as isolated from car traffic as possible!!! If that is achieved, then all of the above goals can be achieved. Safety to bikers and walkers equates to comfort which equates to increased usage!! Thanks! 433 Increase penalties for distracted driving (texting, using phone, etc). 434 I would like to see ADOT take the lead on implementing plans which draw on examples of other metropolitan areas of either the USA or other countries which encourage the use of bicycles mixed

What current program is there available that ADOT employees can use? 435 actually enforce laws and prosecution of auto drivers who injure bicyclists and pedestrians. too often they get away with limited liability. 436 ADOT should focus on providing the best quality bike/ped facilities. Arbitrary goals like doubling the number of bike/ped trips to work will follow if the paths, shoulders and connectivity are provided. 437 This is a bit of a loaded question. Decreasing the number of bicyclist and pedestrian fatalities is really the most important goal but not if that means excluding them from roads. I didn't vote for it as th emost important because my fear is that ADOT will take that to mean they should limit or eliminate use. The real goal is to make bicyclist and pedestrian use safer and reduce fatalities in th eprocess. 438 Enforce stricter laws for motorists involved in accidents involving bikes. Likewise if it's the bicyclists fault. If not already, educate young drivers on the laws of bicyclists. Many people do not realize that cyclists follow the same rules on the streets as cars and to respect them as a car. Make them pass a section of it on the driver's test. 439 The idea of pedestrians along highways where traffic exceeds 45mph seems incompatible. I am probably missing some info about what these highways look and feel like since I live in downtown Phx and rarely leave the metro. This additional info would be helpful to explain what highways these goals are intended for. 440 I am unable to choose any of the bullets! All state hyways should have biking paths and pedestrian access. But they need to be far enough off the roadway to not cause a hazard to motorist or the other modes. 441 Lobby for tougher legislation against motorists that come in contact with cyclists abiding by the rules of the road. In countries where many people ride bicycles, motorists are automatically at fault for hitting cyclists. Some also lose their license. Make an effort to keep shoulders clean of debris, especially in areas of heavy motor commuting. This will allow cyclists to stay closer to the curb instead of the road. 442 Enforce laws requiring bicyclists to follow traffic laws. Require them to register their bicycles and use those fees to help improve the roads. Fix the current crumbling roads before focusing on bike paths. 443 Reduce fatalities by painting bicycle lane lines where bicycle traffic is allowed. 444 Educate more motor vehicle drivers because they don't pay attention at Walk lights turning right when the pedestrian has the right of way. In addition, motor vehicle drivers get nasty with bicyclists using the road. 445 More driver awareness somehow; creating bike paths within residential neighborhoods (similar to what is on Maryland and 3rd Ave)... 446 Have MORE signs on roads that alert drivers of motor vehicles that cyclists are present and are ALLOWED to be present on the roads. 447 This was a difficult choice for paths before lives. However, I believe if you accomplish priorities 1&2 then 3 will be a natural byproduct. Please give cyclists more room and miles to ride in and between towns across the state (and keep them smooth/clean)! Personally, my cycling trips to work are a function of whether I need my vehicle during the day and if my work place has a shower; not so much the route I take to get here. Bicycle lanes don’t really have an affect on whether I ride to work. 448 Increase awareness to pedestrians and bicyclists concerning the proper direction of traffic to walk and ride. 449 Bike lanes should be off-street. Shaded rests with water would be nice. Commuter routes (tunnel, overpasses) across freeways are needed (Tempe to South Mountain

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). Village, for example, requires crossing I-10 and AZ-143 or US-60.) We need to train and educate cagers (auto drivers) in order to change the culture and establish distraction-free driving habits. 450 In order for our bicyclists and pedestrians to be safer on our highways, they need the space to commute on the highway itself. Many highways aren't wide enough. Thank you for this survey, hopefully it will help. 451 Keep bicyclists and pedestrians off of highways. Building paths specifically for bicycling and pedestrian is going to be costly but also provide a much safer transportation framework. Widening highways to accomodate bicyclists and pedestrians would not be in the best interests of the taxpayers of Arizona. And would be insanely ludicris if no some form of safety barrier is incorporated with the widening. 452 Thank you for the survey, this means a great deal to all of us that ride to work/ride for exercise! Thank You!! 453 Encourage State Legislature to increase penalties for distracted driving. Employ best practices for designing ped and bike facilities to ensure safety, 454 Increase driver awareness of bicycles with signs and painted markings on the roadway 455 Hwy 87 Blueridge area, and FH. 3 near Clints Well. 456 Improve vehicle driver knowledge of biking laws.

Increase penalties for violating biking laws. Allow bikers to process through stop signs when no vehicles are present. 457 A bike lane to Sky Harbor from adjoining inlets would be nice. There are a lot of employees that ride their bikes to work and they are at risk when entering the airport, especially on the east enterance. 458 In particular for bicycles, safety at intersections, parking lot/shopping exits etc. is still a major concern. 459 Driver Education...... Educate people to be more respectful to cyclists... Create more "Silent Sunday" routes...i.e. South Mountain event.... Better Signage for bike lanes and long routes 460 Consider investments off the state highway system to connect key activity centers or connect key state highways. 461 More bike lanes 462 I am totally against a bike bath, We can use the money that I pay at the pumps towards resurficing and fixing up the roads. Not a bike path. Sincerely' Karen Hunt 463 Bicycles should not be permitted on sidewalks except where sidewalks are safe for bicycls, and explicitlly marked as "BIKES OK ON SIDEWALK". Signs should be placed "WALK BICYCLE IN CROSSWALK" unless a BIKE XING sign is present on roadway. All bicycle crossings, or pededstrian crossings where bicycles are permitted to use, should be marked with a BIKE XING sign to alert motorists. 464 You need driver education to keep drivers from running over bicyclists! 465 pass laws to give substantial penalties to drivers who threaten or hit cyclists. Loss of liscence and jail time. 466 There are a lot of short bike paths but most of them don't connect to each other. Makes commuting by bicycle difficult. 467 Implement harsh penalties for drivers who hit bicyclist. Too many people hurt without the driver being penalized enough for their actions, which is unacceptable. Until this happens people will continue to be hurt badly or killed on their bicycle. Also increasing the number of roads that are friendly to cyclists so there are less chances of being hit by a car would be a great improvement.

091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 29 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 468 - Develop a plan of creating bicycle safe roadway system. - Develop & enforce strict penalties for those drivers who hit bicyclists and are at fault. 469 I get very uncomfortable when I see cyclists. When there are two or more bicyclists, they always ride over the line as if the bicycles have the right of way on the road and the car has to move over. Bicyclists can be unpredictable and can lose balance easily potentially falling into the car's lane. I’ve seen cars almost get into accidents with other cars due to cyclists being careless. Sometimes cyclists don't even use the shoulder which is even worse! There has to be a better way. 470 Identify trail routes or rail-trails in cities and towns outside the Phoenix & Tucson metro areas that can be adapted for bicycle and pedestrian transportation. 471 As an active rider, the condition of the roads/shoulders and the space allowed for a rider limits where I ride. I also have to cosider "snow bird" season as to the time of day (when the sun is out) that is safest to ride. 472 widen the roads and put in some watering holes along the way in remote areas. 473 I love to ride bicycles but I also need to travel the state highway system by car. Given the taxes I pay on motor fuel, I always feel slighted when I see money spent on bicycle only design and usage. I support universal design such as a 4’ road shoulder which can be used for car/truck breakdowns as well as other traffic modes. I question how much we spend on bicycle lane improvements in areas that appear to be for "sport" usage and not true transportation for home and business purposes. 474 more bike lanes, slower red lights,sometimes I cannot get across a street before the light turns RED. 475 Open the CAP canal in East Mesa to Bicyclists. 476 Round-a-bouts at both sides of I-17 are so dangerous for bikes, we always have to use the Jomax access road. Make round-a-bouts bike friendly. 477 I believe as a fellow cyclist, our safety is our most needed investment. The three foot law is not and will pry never be enforced. So why not make our bike lanes a little wider, or in the design of roadways/pathways make it easier and safer for cyclists to ride with motored vehicle? Especially since we have just as much right to be on the road as them. 478 Get bicyclists to obey the laws of the road. 479 just making sure that roadways are in good repair. 480 I have to wonder how many people have been killed because the law was changed to read that bikers must ride with the flow of traffic? When I was a child we were told to ride facing traffic so that if a car swerved toward us we'd have a chance of surviving by getting out of its way. I quit riding a bike because obeying the new law could get me killed. 481 Greater attention to serious bicycle infrastructure within urban areas where ADOT can have an impact. This means giving prioritization to completeness, safety and priority given to bicycle transit in areas currently dominated by automotive traffic. In some cases that can be accomplished by new bicycle lanes, signage, striping, etc. In others it can be assisted by attempting to impact behavior of existing auto drivers by reducing speed, increasing visual awareness, etc. 482 Public awareness as to how bicycles and motor vehicles need to interact with each other on the road. 483 I enjoy many of the existing highways with bike lanes but find travel hindered with regard to the connectivity that is missing on certain road for bike travelers usually increasing the danger for bike riders having to ride in the roadway with high speed vehicles, this would for local urban areas as well as more outlying areas that lead to Flagstaff or Precott. 484 More signage along roadways to alert drivers. Better cleaning of debris from roadways and increased restriping of roads. Most importantly, widening of shoulders! 485 Items two & three on my list will contribute to achiveing 1 in conjuction with education &you awareness training an holding those who do harm accountable. I ride my bike to work occasionally but traffic safety concerns holds me back.

091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 30 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 486 Hwy 89 487 Putting up more signs in areas where bicycle traffic is high in volume. Also putting in more crosswalks in high foot traffic areas at non-intersections. 488 Please make areas like the Beeline and Usery Pass safer by including wider bicycle lanes. This would reduce the number of accidents and make it safer for bicyclists using that area (further from high speed traffic). I think the 3 ranked hihest will lead to #4 being accomplished. 489 Too many cyclists are killed in auto accidents. In addition to road improvements, the public must be better informed of how to share the road. Need ongoing public awareness/mass media campaign targeted at drivers. Broadcasters, (such as Cox) can produce Public Service Announcements. Here is an example: http://youtu.be/X1q8VAkBE5E Also, a ban on ALL electronic device use while driving should be passed & enforced as a primary offense. Please exhaust every resource available to help save lives. 490 More dedicated bike lanes and community awareness. Look at cities like Seattle, WA... 491 Questionaires to cyclists on areas that they would like to see more bike lanes 492 Keep shoulders clean, dont randomly end bike lanes at intersections only to have them start up 500 feet later (cars often drift into cyclists in that distance) 493 Coordination with local on land use planning such as Transit Oriented Design. Provide positive buffers between automobile trafiic and non-motorized traffic 494 Never do highway work without widening the paved shoulders. Have the Highway patrol give more tickets to both cyclists and motorists when they are breaking laws regarding cycling. 495 Education through PSAs, driver training, working with driver licensing and traffic school programs to increase awareness will help decrease injuries and fatalities. Most important is to pass a distracted driver law and fund enough cops on the road to enforce it. Although cutting down on single occupant cars commuting to work is a good idea, there are many options besides walking or bicycling (depending on the distance) and it's really a separate goal. 496 Total separation of pedestrian and cyclist byways. People are too distracted while driving with cell phones and gps units. Even 4 feet is not a safety corridor for someone walking or cycling when up against a distract or impaired driver. 497 Clearly marked bike lanes will secure safety and inspire a greater number of commuters to bike to work. Also, make certain bike lanes remain uninterrupted, especially at exit ramps, and clearly mark intersections for drivers and bikers. 498 Follow plans implemented by Minneapolis and Seattle. They both have amazing bike trail networks which makes people want to stay there and enjoy their favorite activities safely without fear of getting hit by cars. 499 elevated bike lanes bike lanes uilt between sidewalks and parking spaces adding bike lanes on popular most ridden routes like road to canyon lake, power road north of thomas, etc. 500 Change motorist laws to protect bicyclists from motor vehicles, I.e. felony to kill a bicyclist vs a misdemeanor. Increase number of bike lanes on city streets. All bike lanes must have 3ft on the side of te roads. Create additional multiuse pathways. 501 Make more strict traffic laws about vehicles and cyclists (3 feet rule, ENFORCE IT!!!!) More laws would be awesome, texting while driving should be illegal everywhere and be enforced, because that's how most of us cyclists are killed 502 Work with legislature and police on better enforcement of existing 3-feet laws and tougher penalties for texting/distracted driving resulting in a cycling or pedestrian injury or fatality. 503 Add more signs to increase public awareness about sharing the road. Ban texting while driving which could kill cyclists.

091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 31 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). Remove road hazards such as wide cracks, holes, uneven shoulders, unexpected road curbs and transitions, clean roads from glass. Increase the width of bike lane (see Austin bike lanes). Connect bike paths. Provide yield signs for bikes at right turn, cars cut off bikes to turn right which could kill. 504 Always repave the shoulder when repaving the road 505 Identify federal grant funding with the help of local advocacy groups to help fund the projects. Safe routes to schools, league of American bicyclists etc. 506 Driver safety ads about cyclists on the monitors at the DMV or ads on busses and lightrail 507 Our streets are soo clogged with traffic it is scary to try and ride your bike even with bike lanes. It would be great if there would be more bike paths offset from roads so that it isn't so nerve racking to ride your bike. I have been enjoying the New River Trail system immensely. It is a pleasure to ride that trail and see all the wildlife along the way. Kudos to Peoria and whomever else was involved with this bike path! Every one on this trail is smiling and happy :))) 508 identify abandoned railroad lines and turn them into bike trails. sidewalks are a waste of money . . . people do not walk enough to warrant the expense. also, since sidewalks are used so little turn them into bike paths. do not use highway trust fund money for bike trails . . . those funds are supposed to be used for improving roadways for automobiles . . . it is only the enviornmental whackos that would divert the dollars. 509 We spend our winters in Az. we come because the weather is great for bicycling if you build it more will come.. 510 ADOT can increase the number of highways with paved shoulders by citing and communicating with the cycling community (GABA, ABRA) to find out what highways used more by cyclists. The number of injuries and fatalities can be decreased by placing signs to remind drivers of laws such as the 3-foot law and Share-the-Road signs. 511 Have more green belts/ bike paths that link to major areas of work and shopping to keep us(bikes) out of busy intersections..I bike to work two time a week 40 mile round trip 512 Contruct no new roadways or repair any existing roadway without including bike lanes. 513 I think bike paths along the highways, separated from traffic would be the safest and most enjoyable riding experience. I don't think just wider shoulders are a good answer as bikes would be vulnerable to distracted drivers or debri flying at them from the traffic lane. 514 more bike paths well marked and higher sanctions to the ones who kill and/or injure cyclists. No like the one recently a woman distracted killed a human being who was riding a bicycle and got a fine of 450 USD, that is an insult for all of us. Arizona has a great weather 8 months of 12. We love bicycles and we will go everywhere with them but sometimes we are scared of going out. 515 Create "move over law" for cyclists. Drivers should move to the outer lane when passing a cyclist, if not possible slow down/pass with caution. Make AZ a bike friendly place by educating drivers how to interact with cyclists. PSA's, more signage on roads, police enforce areas traveled by cyclists, enforce 3 feet rule when cars pass cyclist, include a section in the drivers license test about how cars and cyclists should interact. Have the news channels cover these topics. 516 Construction of pedestrian friendly paths made available in various locations around the alley. Increase incentives for companies that promote alternative ways of getting to work. 517 Move bicycle and shared-use paths away from intersections. One of the greatest risk areas is bicycle and shared use paths that parallel major roads and highways. Motorists entering or leaving the highway are focused on highway traffic. Shared use paths should be a block or so away from the major street or highway. 518 bicycle awareness programs targeted at motorists less segmented bike lanes / shoulders, consistency 519 Complete more bike paths... For instance, I live in Arcadia, and to get to tempe, I go down 48th st park...but them bike path ends for a mile, then bike path on Washington to Elliot...but none on

Elliot to cross bridge into Tempe. 520 STRICTER PENALTIES IF YOU HIT A CYCLIST WHILE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE! IF YOU ARE NOT SKILLED ENOUGH TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH CYCLISTS, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A LICENSE! There needs to be more communication to the public that cyclists have a RIGHT to the road!!!! 521 attend cycling events and obtain public comments about which highways are most viable candidates for shoulder / shared use pathways 522 Plant trees near sidewalks and shared use paths to make walking/biking more feasible during the warmer months. 523 I ride my bike daily to at some peril. In speaking with others about doing also commuting with a bike, the biggest hang up was the danger. I would love to see Az evolve into a Netherlands type of bike loving culture but we have to make it safer somehow. 524 Paths such as the one next to Golf Links Rd. between Swan and Wilmot in Tucson and along the Aviation Parkway are great - paved paths that lead somewhere, separated from the fast traffic. 525 I ride road bikes 200-250 miles/week and the number one issue is distance between bikes and cars. Please work at increasing the bike lane widths not including the cement gutter which cannot be safely ridden on due to cracks and drains. 526 Properly train all police officers on the laws pertaining to bicycles. Many don't even know there is a 3 foot rule. 527 the system is not working....I am unable to get the check marks to work...... too bad. 528 More bike lanes, please. Make Arizona a bike friendly state. Its better for our envoirment, our health, and the economy. 529 Vehicular drivers need to be aware of the law and maintain 3 feet clearance from bicycles. The shoulder of roads are often areas for vehicular debris and need to be cleaned more frequently if to be used by most people for safe travel. Wider shoulders does not really improve the cleanliness of roads but does provide a larger area of safety by separating bicycles and vehicles. 530 PLEASE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BIKE LANES IN YUMA COUNTY!! 531 secured separate bicycle pedestrian ways like in Germany 532 All of these are important! 533 A series of public awareness ads stating the laws drivers are required to abide by when coming upon a bicycle who is sharing the road. Real penalties for drivers who cause cyclists due to careless driving. A woman who veers into the bike lane and mows down a man, father, husband, son and friend should get more than two citations totalling $420. 534 More signage letting everyone know that cars need to give bikes 3 feet. 535 Sidewalks and wider shoulders will take care of the other two goals: more people will chose to bike to work and it will be much safer for them to do so. 536 Greater promotion and public awareness of car/bike traffic laws 537 More bike lanes so we can commute more. The Valley of the sun is a cycling mecca, build more dedicated bike lanes so we can make the valley a more desireable place to live for cyclists. 538 Paths and lanes that actually go somewhere and don't end in the middle of a block. 539 1. Don't close the bike lane in construction zones. 2. More bike lanes that continue through the city (and don't just end randomly) 3. Rumble strips on city streets help to keep a healthy barrier between cyclists and drivers. 4. Laws against texting / cell phone usage and driving. 6. Pave multi-use paths along canals so that road bikes can use them. 540 We have miles of canals, open the access on all, make the sides have a small paved strip, make over/under crossings for roads 541 Increase the number bike path lanes so cyclist can stay safer and commute to work and school via bikes.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 542 I think that the infrastructure goals are critical to the injury/death reduction goal. In my opinion, infrastructure should be developed first in a ten mile radius of city limits. Also, use will increase if the shoulders/paths are maintained free of debris. 543 Solar powered street lights along all bicycle paths. Education and enforcement of bicycle light and helmet laws. Signs indicating water stations, rest areas, and repair centers along bike routes. Secure areas (well lit, patroled, shaded during the day/or within indoor facility, nearby to showering and locker facilities) - ideally nearby major commerce/business centers to promote commuting. 544 Please educate AZ drivers that cyclists are people who have a legal right to share the road! Thanks! 545 Continued and increased cleaning of the streets. 546 More "watch out for cyclist" awareness campaigns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4 547 Widen highways in need of it, particularly rural 2-lanes, like the northern portion of SR 87 through Pine & Strawberry. Many cyclists use that road at their peril. 548 When these people travel in small groups they are fine, but a large group is a monumental pain in the ass. They seem to think they own the road. 549 Obesity is rampant amongst all age groups and is taking a toll on quality of life at an increasing rate. Whatever promotes more bike riding or hiking or walking/riding to work has to be a priority. 550 Keeping bike path clear of debris and vegetation. Enforce the laws for pedestrians/bicyclist and autos 551 Signs indicating bicycle use allowed on shared paths and roads. 552 PSA on how to share the road (for cyclists AND drivers) 553 * Promote the availability of secure bike storage, clothes lockers, and showers, all on a paid-use basis. Use the proceeds to fund related activities. * Promote the use of lights for visibility. Give them away if necessary. * Increase the number of miles of city streets with paved shoulders of 4 feet or greater. * Provide safe paths over, under, or across state and interstate highways. These last two would be expected to decrease the number of injuries and fatalities. 554 Commercials about bicycle rules of the road to inform motorist of cyclists rights. Add bicycle safety and rights to the MVD driving test that all motorists have to take to get their driving license. 555 Recently we visited relatives in Florida and we were so impressed with their bicycle/pedestrian paths. They were located alongside the highway right-of-way and had a chain link fence to protect it's users. They allowed access to the different neighborhoods and towns and ran for approximately 50 miles. Very Impressive looking! 556 Please allow access under and over major freeways, including in remote desert sections, not just on paved surfaces. For many years I have been riding my mountain bike in the northwest valley and now the Loop 303 is blocking the ability to cross the desert. It would be helpful if more box culverts were installed that pedestrians, horse riders and offroad bicycles were able to cross under major roads to continue their journeys. 557 DPS enforcement of 3-foot passing law. ADOT clearing shoulders of debris. 558 Update the bicycle lane map 559 Reduce driver distractions and increase driver awareness of the 3' law and rights of bicycles on roadways. 560 Your site will not let me score the questions on the survey. The cyclist are a hazzard riding two across, causing dangers to the motor vehicle drivers. They are not considerate at all. It is to hot most of the year to cycle and walk to work, and the distance is to far. The serious ones do not want

Money would be better spent on pot hole repairs. 561 Make bicycle laws part of the licensing process for motor vehicle drivers. Better awareness = more safety. Harsher penalties for accidents involving motor vehicle / bicycle. More signage and road markings about sharing the road. 562 4, 1, 3 , 2 your radio buttons are not working for this screen 563 Educate automobile drivers of the 3 foot law and safe passing laws during defensive driving courses. 564 More bike lanes. Campaign to have drivers become aware of cyclist and cycling rights/laws. Ban the use of handheld devices by motor vehicle drivers. Signs on roadways stating the 3 foot law, and most of all for police enforcement of these laws. 565 Provide separation between bike lanes and traffic lanes to ensure more safety for cyclists. Provide education for cyclists, as well as motorists regarding the difficulty to see cyclists during early morning and late afternoon hours when driving into the bright Arizona sun. 566 Make distracted driving a real crime 567 You want better safety then enforce the same rules as drivers have to abide by. lights at night, drive or ride on the correct side of the road. stop at stop signs and red lights. stay in your own lane. single file. these idiots want to ride three wide and not only take up thier lane but take up the vehicle lane also. cops need to enforce these laws. also bike registration also. and insurance. dumbass liberals. 568 Since I do not ride a bike I have to think the information accorded me by ADOT Whiie ADOT has many problms to solve regarding its highways, this one will more importANT. iT IS WISE TO BE THINKING ABOUT IT NOW AND NOT 5-10 years down the road. My check marks seem to only support one question - not true! Good thinking ADOT! 569 there is not enough room for all of the road rage and normal people on the road way 570 these are the wrong goals: trips to work are great, but 99% of them will be on non-ADOT roads - ADOT can do very little to impact. decreased injuries is an outcome of successful implementation of other goals, like better bike paths 571 Raised reflective lane indicators located just outside the bike lane to warn cars and cyclists when a car is entering the bike lane. 572 Increase awareness of "share the road" with more signs in neighborhoods and busy intersections. 573 bicycle riders have to take a safety course on proper use of the road they can take this course by mail or by internet, but they have to take this course to be able to use our road ways. a state license will be issued after they complete this course and must be displayed on their bicycle. this plate should have a cost of $7.50 every 3 years this money will go to help defray the cost of maintaining bicycle lanes 574 I can't click above, so I rank row 4 most important, row 3 2nd most important, row 2 third in importance, and row 1 as fourth (last) in importance. 575 Last one is the greatest, most important... Starting with more safe routes for bikers, as well as harsher penalties for those motorist that cause serious injury or death to bicyclist. Hearing to many people hit and nothing coming from it other the a cash fine. If you take someones life its not "", it's "" and should be punishable to the fullest extent 576 More bike lanes and signs to make drivers aware that there are bikers 577 1) For safety, make cycling a major point of emphasis during driver's education and defensive driving courses. Most drivers do not understand basic bike commuting issues and cyclist rights. 578 Ban cell phone use in the car! 579 Increase paved shoulder on Highway 87 from Pine to Winslowj to allow safer highway vehicle as well as bicycle travel. Present shoulders are not to highway standards and should be. 580 I'd like to see Arizona develop a series of connected bikeways and paths on state highways that

For example I bicycled along the Danube R in Germany and Austria. Elderly bikers in walking clothes, entire families with elementary age children, women biking to work, and hard core spandex wearing bikers in training - all used the same bike paths. It was pleasant and a huge draw in terms of tourism $$. 581 By simply complying with Sect. of Trans. Ray Lahoods 2010 proclamation to always include bicycle and pedestrian accommodation whenever road construction or rework is being done. 582 driver awareness of laws regarding cyclists needs to be improved-penalties for purposeful aggravation from automobiles verses bicycles should be understood by everyone-maybe part of drivers testing/licensing..Also, possibly creating an endorsement on the drivers license for riding a bicycle on the roadway that requires cyclists to know the law as well..this might command more respect from motorists. 583 Providing safer or protected, and dedicated routes for cyclists and pedestrians will naturally decrease the number of car related injuries and fatalities. Look at countries where cycling is a major method of transportation. Cyclist have routes that are segregated from the vehicles. This eliminates the need to "share the road and eliminates cyclist/motorist disputes and issues commonly associated with the way we drive and bike in AZ. 584 build more bike overpasses giving pedestrians an easier way to get across a busy freeway. thanks ADOT for installed message boards! they are a very good use of tax payer money, especially alerting drivers of accidents or AMBER alerts... 585 I would like to see a bike path built that runs from Ahwatukee (along side Pecos Rd).. all the way down the 202 to the Chandler Fashion Mall and beyond. There are ten's of thousands of folks that would then use those paths in both directions to commute to work (such as Intel Chandler, Microchip, Motorola etc..). You'd need a foot bridge to get across the I-10/202 interchange. DO it ! There's space to do it ! :). Roger Spencer 480-251-3652 586 It is my belief that it's not so much the state and it's condition of roadways. The attitude of people is what needs to change. I know I'm scared to death to do any bicycle riding because people in motor vehicles are in too big a hurry and don't care about anyone else on the road. 587 1. More miles of safe bicycle lanes. In order for me to ride my bicycle to work in Bike Lanes I would have to go about 3 miles out of my way.

2. Some 'major' intersections don't even have pedestrian cross walks. 588 Work with the AZ Legislature to create and enforce laws making it a punishable felony when an inidividual kills a cyclist with a motorized vehicle. The penalties and consequences should be the same as manslaughter with a gun, knife, or other lethal weapon. Drivers should be held accountable for their actions when operating their vehicles. 589 increasing safe bike paths / shoulders should have a positive impact in decreasing injuries and increasing bike traffic. Include bike routes / consideration in all new and improvement projects. 590 Biking safely along interstates 591 Rio Verde - just pave the shoulder please! Bee Line Highway - run street sweepers there weekly. It's a landmine of tire treads, which causes bike flats. Thanks for resurfacing Pima - so much safer!! 592 Stop wasting money on political agendas. We're all wise to this now !!!!! 593 More bike lanes on major roads in the North Valley (Pinnacle Peak, Deer Valley, Beardsley, etc). Better access to cross I-17 (i.e. Deer Valley Road is great, but Pinnacle Peak Road is terrible). 594 To decrease injuries to bicyclists, roundabouts need special attention. In Ahwatukee the City of Phoenix put in a roundabout that does not work well for bicyclists. It is on Equestrian Trail just west of the Elliot Warner Loop. The City of Phoenix has opened themselves to injury related . They appeared to not think as bicyclists, but only as car drivers, there is a school nearby

A future problem for injuries. 595 Do decrease the number of bicyclist and pedestrian injuries and fatalities there needs to be wider shoulders and sidewalks. Also education for the automobile drivers. 596 paved bike lanes.. more more more... clean highway debris on roads like beeline 597 Bike lanes on Picture Rocks, Sandario and Gates Pass Road 598 I would also like to see better care taken of the shoulders on the highway. They are often full of debris which is dangerous to a cyclist and causes flats, etc. A separate path might also cut down on debris. Education on bicycle safety laws (for cyclists and drivers) would be great. Signage to share the road and about the 3 foot law would help. 599 double % of trips = 3 Paved shoulders = 2 miles of sidewalks = 4 Injuries = 1 Unable to select on screen. 600 -raise awareness of safe passing distance drivers should give cyclists; establish some way drivers can envision what 3-5 feet is--especially since any less than that is really frightening when being passed by a vehicle 1000s of pounds heavier than a cyclist. -rather than offering mixed messages by encouraging cyclists to ride on sidewalks, improve shoulders and driver awareness that that is where cyclists should ride. 601 Highway 60 from Goldfield Road to Florence Junction in the direction south east has a narrow shoulder. 602 Need to remove bikes from being so close to the road; these spandex riders veer into traffic way too many times. 603 Do not allow pedestrian or bicyclist on existing roadways without a min. TWO [2] foot shoulder. These people are creating unGODly safety issues for vehicle traffic which is the most important traffic we have and will be for the next FIFTY [50] years!!!!!! Educate and FINE them if they don,t comply. It is for everyone's best interest & SAFETY! 604 Get the word out to Az residents about the 3 foot rule when passing a bike. and make bike follow the laws. 605 Increasing the percentage of trips to work by bike or walking cannot be mandated...it comes about by doing the other 3 items/goals. Safety can be increased by publicizing the fact that bicycles have the same rights and obligations (obey the same laws) as do motor vehicles. 606 adding more space will only increase injuries and fatalities. The bigfgest safety aspect is due to authorities not holding cyclists accountable as by far the majority are not obeying the driving laws. For one cyclists shold not be allowed to drive on bridges. They must get off and walk as a pedestrian across as its always a hazard with the narrow lanes when they cycle. Wish I had more room 607 I have never understood why bicyclists can't use sidewalks. The sidewalks are always empty. Walkers would have the right-of-way but bicyclists are courteous. 608 Provide wide shoulders by reducing vehicle lane widths - aim for 8 foot wide shoulds on highways when possible to provide the added distance comfort needed when riding on very high speed streets. These areas will also double as safe pull-out for police and emergency response vehicles with ample room. The rumble strips/rough asphalt intended to wake drivers veering off might remain just outside of the travel lane in a non-used buffer area. 609 Include bike and pedestrian facilities in road reconstruction projects; add facilities on state routes where there are no parallel local facilities (i.e., on freeways without alternative routes where it is legal to ride a bike); ask for donations for bike facilities on the Arizona State Tax returns - much like other charities.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 610 Ensure that re-paving/re-surfacing completely covers the existing pavement to the edge, to avoid "layered" edges on the shoulder that effectively eliminate use of the safest portion (the area to the far side). 611 Mandatory classes for cyclists. So many don't adhere to the laws and safety of riding on highways (ie - Ride the line marking boundry of vehicle lane like a course compass) 612 I live in Bisbee, Arizona. Many bicyclists ride their bikes around the big Lavendar Pit Mine, on Arizona State Highway 80 everyday. We are in need of a proper biking path for people, not only for enjoyment, but to alleviate the many injuries and some fatalities that have occurred. Thank you for your consideration. 613 Bicyclists are going to use the roads anyway, why not make it safer for all of us? I would (and DID) when I lived only two miles from work. 614 We are desperatley in need of area for cyclists to be more safe on the roads. They will always be there and need to plan for years to come to keep everyone safe! 615 Get bikes and pedistrians off the road and on their own safe sidewalk to prevent injuries and make it safer for cars too. 616 Increasing bike lanes with buffers between cyclist and drivers. 617 If there are more nike lanes it seems to me there will be fewer accidents esp if it is shared sidewalk access. 618 I should be able to select all these things as most important. The best way that ADOT can achieve these goals is to adopt a "complete streets" policy where high quality sidewalks and bike paths are never left out of road building plans. 619 We need more safe bike routes, more roads with bike lanes, and much more driver education on the rights of bicyclists. 620 More shared paths (getting bikes off the roadways) will decrease injuries and fatalities. More roads with wide dedicated bike paths is important to reducing injuries/fatalities also. 621 Signs that say share the road. 622 Route 8 From Yuma (Foothills) to Welton needs new bike friendly shoulders 623 Any additional trails + other measures (even paving wider shoulders) which would make it safer for everyone to exercise (run, bike, etc.) along our gorgeous Arizona highways would be most appreciated. THANK YOU. 624 Why not triple the percentage of trips to work by walking or bicycling within the next 10 years? 625 In order for funds to be spent on bicycles, I believe the users should pay for some type of registration as we do for vehicles. 626 1. Extend existing pathways. 2. Mark bike lanes on roads. 3. Use washes and median strips 4. Enable buses to carry more than 10 bikes instead of 2 (vertical carrying at rear and front) 627 BICYCLISTS RIDE IN THE LANES OF HIGHWAYS AND CAUSE A HAZZARD. 628 Connect bike lanes. For example, a bike lane will end on one street and pick up about a mile later after a turn. Cyclists are in more danger while in areas without bike lanes, but we do not have a continuous path we can utilize. If given the option, we would take it. 629 More shoulders like the one on AZ87 630 ADOT should mark bike lanes with a canter line for cyclists to ride so they are in the center of the bike path. AND INSTRUCT CYCLISTS TO RIDE IN THE CENTER OF THE BIKE LANE. Seems WHENEVER I encounter cyclists in the bike lanes that they ride on the WHITE line separating the bike lane from the traffic lane.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 631 Make harsher penalties for motorists that kill or injure cyclists. Make wider shoulders and bike lanes to increase cyclist safety. Enforce the 3 foot law. Ticket motorists who violate the law. 632 Actively work with and involve local communities and jurisdictions to increase biking/walking travel ways (roads/paths/rails to trails, etc). Provide incentives to communities to upgrade/construct biking routes and paths. Create a matching fund program to assist development actions. Create a state recognition program that communities could strive to achieve, which includes recognition and a cash reward for achievement. 633 Not sure whose issue it is, but killing a cyclist is manslaughter, not a "driving in the bike lane" fine of $400. Let's make riding on roads safer. Cleaner bike will help keep cyclists in the lanes. Often we have to move to the street because the bike lanes are littered with debris. 634 Education initiatives 635 More bike lanes, stricter laws for motorists regarding pedestrian and cyclist safety, stricter enforcement of existing laws, education/public service campaign to raise awareness of existing laws and the consequences for breaking those laws. 636 Please construct pedestrian bridges or tunnels to get across major roadways like Van Buren and 7th St in Down town Phoenix and other major roadways of multiple lanes with fast moving traffic. 637 Appreciate all you've done and are doing to make the Valley and AZ a safer, more attractive place for cyclists. Would enjoy having wider and better-marked shoulders for cycling on AZ roads. Also I think the "share the road" signage helps and makes drivers more aware of that cyclists may be using the roads they are driving. 638 Increase numbr of bike paths and seek stiffer penalties for drivers not sharing road with bikers 639 More bike lanes and no more collector roads and highways without shoulders. Please widen the shoulder of Lake Pleasant road, heavy bike use but no shoulder. Thank you. 640 when repaving state highways, always consider increasing the width for the bicycles and pedestrians 641 Add sidewalks & bike paths to frontage roads. I live on N 33rd Ave near the 101. If I want to get to the shopping center at 31st Ave., I have to walk in the gravel and duck under poorly maintained vegetation. 642 In town roads and hiways have a designated bike lane. 643 When motels and restaurants share a highway intersection sidewalks between them should be required. All highways that are built or reconditioned should have a three foot shoulder for foot or bicycle traffic. Make the rumble strips narrow (4") with breaks in them every 10 feet. Place them close to the white line so they don't obstruct the shoulder. 644 Stop planning start doing. 645 In Northern Arizona for instance, develop safe ingress/egress routes to the NAU Flagstaff campus. Although no fatalities have occured, it is only a matter of time before a pedestrian or bicyclist gets killed. The number of people traveling via foot and/or bicycle from OFF campus, i.e. other places within the city/county/state, to campus on an hourly basis is unbelievable. 646 I choose "Most Important" on all the above, but the dots won't fill in the circles...... ? The frontage road between New River and Anthem needs enlargement badly and also WB New River Rd between I-17 and 74, very unsafe for bicyclists. Both probably need a center lane all the way to keep cars from crossing the median lane. 647 Add more bike lanes to major streets. Add bike friendly community signs to streets with and without bike lanes. 648 By increasing shoulder size of all roads, adding raised bike lanes to roads, adding side walks and multi use paths and also creating public service announcements of bicycle and pedestrian laws/rights to make drivers will help to reduce the number of bicycle/pedestrian injury and fatalities. The safer roads and side walks, on its own, will encourage more people to ride or walk to 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 39 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). work. 649 Put in more bicycle lanes. More signage to promote bicycle safety on the roads. Ensure to manage traffic controls at intersections to promote safety for bicyclists. 650 Much better education for all (drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians). 651 Increasing the number of miles with clean, paved shoulders of 4 feet or greater will result in a decrease in bicycle injuries and fatalities. Too many roads provide no safety for the bicyclist and motorists, in general, do a bad job of "sharing the road" 652 Better Education for bicyclist & motorist of the responsibility when we interact on roadways. Complete more paved pathways along the canal and recreational areas to make it easier to get from Phoenix to Scottsdale to Tempe. I would be willing to pay a reasonable tax as a bicyclist to help support the costs of these types of improvements. Make the penalties higher for motorists that hit cyclists and injure or kill them. City organized bike event like Tour de Cure to help fund the projects 653 when repaving existing roads repave the shoulder and put in the narrow bumps strip next to the road. That would give us an additional 18" to ride on. 654 Everywhere that bike/pedestrian paths have been constructed/dedicated in the West Valley has seen a remarkable increase in their use. Build them, and they will come. 655 There should be NO shared areas of bikes and people; people don't stand a chance. And absolutely NONE of either on highways. That's just accidents waiting to happen. Make separate lanes and way off to the side of highways, separated by a barrier strong enough to keep cars/trucks/buses from hitting them. 656 As a road bicyclist, I really appreciate how many bike routes and roads with wide, clearly marked bike lanes already exist. And it seems that, as roads are built or improved, bike lanes are usually added - please keep this up! 657 More above grade pedestrian/bike crossings in major populated areas for safer crossing of large freeways. The underpasses in the 202 in Tempe are great, except at Rural Road, where at grade crossing adjacent to freeway entry/exits makes traffic dangerous. Crossing needed over I-10 to South Mountain Park connecting canal paths. 658 Redevelopment goals should be geared to walkable/bikeable communities. 659 test 660 Separate bicycle paths by median or fence whenever possible. Force bicyclists to stay off the roadway. 661 Have police agencies enforce the laws. I see many motorists not know how to react around cyclists and pedestrians. I see many cyclist riding against traffic, on sidewalks, without proper lighting during hours of darkness. Enforce or make stronger laws against unsafe behaviors of both drivers and cyclists. 662 People will not ride bikes on roads unless they feel safe. Thus adding infrastructure like bike lanes and paved shoulders is the highest priority. Replacing signalized intersections with roundabouts and lowering speed limits also improves safety for cyclists. Although it is not ADOT's job, enforcing traffic laws, like the 3 feet law when passing a cyclist, is greatly needed in Az. 663 As important as safe bike/walk paths are. I believe that ADOT constructing bike paths should be left up to the cities and towns. If we start building bike paths, next they'll want parks, recreation centers, pools etc. Stick to what we know. The best roads in the country!! 664 maximize waterway usage and train easements. Indentify areas where the throughfare is already established that can be utilized....overpasses and underpasses would already be addressed. 665 Consistent bike paths-- a lot of areas have bike lanes and paths that "disappear" for a couple of blocks and force cyclists in to the road briefly. Make sure to accommodate bike paths and make biking spaces available during road work. Increase funding for mass transit and have 3 or more bike racks available on buses, and bike racks at bus stops with adequate lighting. 666 Increase the bicycle lane for safety and the fines for drivers that injure bicyclists. Make education for both driver and bicyclist mandatory. 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 40 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 667 Build it and they will come. Nothing attracts a crowd of bicyclists or pedestrians like a crowd of bicyclists or pedestrians. 668 Keep the bicycles OFF THE HIGHWAYS! Make them use bicycle path(s). Bicycles on highway paved shoulders are a complete hazard to motorized vehicles trying to avoid them. REQUIRE orange shirts, flashing lights on all bicycle riders using the highway system until adequate bicycle paths are constructed. Non compliance by bicycles should result in heavy fines. Bicyclist all seem to have a highway death wish associated with their riding habits. 669 Consider points of interest first rather than city to city. Create fun refreshment centers (maybe start by susidizing roach coaches on weekends). Create a series of maybe 5-10 mile rides from ADOT parking lots to points of interest.Emphasize access to trails along waterways like maybe along the Salt, Verde, San Pedro, Colorado Rivers. Increased recreation use of bicycles might increase daily use. 670 Have the police actually enforce the 3 foot rule rather than break it. 671 Drivers and cyclists alike need to be educated on fithe rights and responsibilities of sharing the road. Find out what Holland is doing and copy them. ;-) 672 PROVIDE FOR SAFE BICYCLE USAGE - EITHER WIDER SHOULDERS OR COMPANION PATHS AND DO NOT ALLOW BICYCLES ON ROADS WITHOUT THOSE SAFETY PROVISIONS. IT IS A HAZARD FOR BOTH THE MOTORIST AND THE CYCLIST. 673 Wide enough shoulders on roads will help with three out of the four goals. 674 Bicycle & pedestrian "paths" must be separated from state highways. Until this happens, injuries & fatalities stand little chance of decreasing. 675 Paint and/or repaint bike lanes. Add signage more often identifying bike lanes and law to give bikers 3 feet. Keep bike lanes clear of debris. Fix wholes/cracks in bike lanes. Ticket drivers for driving too fast around bike lanes. 676 More paved bike lanes that are free of gravel. Education of motorist what the laws for bicycle safety are. 677 Pave the shoulders. 678 LOBBY FOR STRONGER LAWS FOR KILLING CYCLISTS. TEACH POLICE OFFICERS WHAT THE LAWS ACTUALLY ARE. BILLBOARDS AND TV THAT SCARE THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY FROM CYCLISTS AND LEARN WHAT THE LAWS ARE (IE. 3 FOOT RULE NO MATTER WHERE THE CYCLIST IS) 679 Laws must be written and implemented making driving and texting/phone calls as bad or worse and drinking and driving. I saw on the news that a women recently hit 3 men on bikes becuase she lost satellite coverage for her GPS. How about a new organization called Bikers Against Gadgets (BAG) 680 Other states have rails to trails pathways, why not Arizona 681 4 foot safely paved and groomed shoulders to ride on are important. Educating Drivers and cyclist to proper sharing of the roads is also very important. Too many people are getting hit these days 682 Increase funding to cities/counties for bicycle infrastructure such as multi-use trails, separated bike lanes, bicycle awareness (signs, ad campaign). 683 Implement the reccommendations for pedestrian and bicycle safety as dictated in FHWA guidelines and Washinton State plan for Ped and Bike safety 684 Widen/pave shoulder on known cycling routes (example: McDowell road in east Mesa, between Ellsworth and Power Roads). 685 Education programs will be key. ADOT must take the lead in public outreach programs to inform travelers about driving etiquette, pedestrian/bicyclist rights, etc. 686 Please be sure to install rumble strips as this is a great preventative of trucks/autos veering into shoulder! 687 More bike lanes, wider bike lanes. Talk with the cycling community to determine the most travelled routes to ensure these routes are complete with bike lanes. Post signs on all roads to watch for and respect cyclists. 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 41 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 688 Example: Bridge over I-17 near Flagstaff Airport and 89A is inbetween a large County Park, and the Flagstaff Urban Trail System (trail system continues in park as well). ADOT recently updated the bridge, and still failed to provide a bicycle/walking path. Pedestrians have to endure greater risk because of the gap the bridge makes inbetween two sides of the very popular, citywide Flagstaff urban trail. 689 I think if you increase the number of sidewalks and shared-use paths, the number of fatalities will decrease. The more we can keep pedestrians and cyclists of the roads (even off the shoulders) the better. Funding is always an issue, but selecting some key east-west and north-south corridors to key employment centers and the university to place the shared use paths will help. 690 Create or enforce laws that make it a crimal act to kill a cyclist while operating a motor vehicle unsafely or illegally. When a motorist kills a cyclist who is operating within the laws, the driver whould be arrested and charged with manslaughter. Quit telling cyclists in this state that you care when the drivers who kill us are still driving and only paying small fines for lane violations. 691 Make it more difficult to get a driver's license. A majority of people in this state do not follow simple rules like not crossing a double yellow line. It's evident that they view a driver's license as a right not a priviledge. People consistently carry dogs on their laps, talk or text on cellular phones and perform other activities which distract them from driving and make the roads unsafe. 692 raised semi-circluar bumps approx 5" diam to alert vehicle drifting into bike lane but allows bike to avoid when moving in and out of bike lane. 693 to improve use of the bike/pedestrian paths, a frequently-updated pedestrian/shared use path map, preferably in an interface such as Google Maps so it can be used to plot commuting and recreational routes. 694 increased bike lanes will add to the awareness of passsenger vehicles. separate bike paths in high density areas. 695 create more facilities for people who want to bicycle but are scared to do so -- i.e. facilities that keep bicyclists away from fast traffic. Create safer crossings for those and walkers bicyclists passing across state facilities. 696 Spend less money on highways, and more on surface street projects that improve bicycle, pedestrian, and transit accessibility. 697 Work with State Land and other State and Federal agencies to make it not only easier, but more appealing to accommodate paths next to State Highways. This is a problem in several cities around the State. Spend State funds that were approved by voters specifically for trails, ON TRAILS, not on anything else. That way voters are more likely to approve such kind of funds in the future, knowing they are putting their money where they want it. 698 this is a test by Brent Crowther. Do not include in survey responses. 699 By improving the infrastructure on state highways AZ will decrease the number of bicyclist and pedestrian deaths, increase the number of cycling commuters, and increase the number of people willing to use bicycles for transportation and fitness. 700 Tax Cred.ts for alternative transportation users 701 Who pays for all of this? Right now, it's the registered auto and motorcycle owners. When are bicycles going to be registered and help bear the associated costs of the above?? 702 Complete the South bound Highway 87 shoulder from Payson providing a long and scenic route along 87 from Phoenix to Payson and back. 703 Ideally, having appropriate bike lanes will provide a safer environment for cyclists and in turn decrease fatalities and encourage commuting. 704 Make them follow the laws of being on the road..... 705 Work more closely with law enforcement to increase driver awareness and enforcement of laws. E.g. ask that they put bicycle police on the road with cyclist during key hours. 706 Large and frequent signage with flashing lights, broader shoulders for longer lengths, clean debris

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). from shoulders frequently 707 By increasing the number of sidewalks, paved shoulders etc., bicyclists & pedestrians will be safer! 708 The greatest change that needs to be made are the laws to protect bicyclists and pedestrians. The penalties for drivers are fines ranging from $100-$400 for injuring or killing a cyclist. In most cases, like my own accident, the drivers are never cited with a ticket and that leaves the injured to pay for their own medical bills. Please help us change the laws to save lives. 709 Educate bicylist on how to drive on a round-about. Most do not use the curbless sidewalk, they stay in the round-about, even tho no sign of bike lane. 710 more miles of bike lanes, driver and bike education, stricter enforcement of laws, laws in favor of cyclist (rolling stops, harsher penalties for hitting cyclists, etc) 711 Put as much care into building and maintaining shoulders as is put into roads. Many state highways already have very wide shoulders suitable (in width) for bicycle traffic; however, many of those shoulders are covered in wheel-bending cracks and/or large amounts of debris/gravel that easily punctures tires. 712 Launch an educational campaign that teaches bicycling laws and sharing the road. This needs to be addressed to the general public, in drivers ed classes, on TV, Radio, print media, billboards, etc. Both cyclists need to follow the laws AND motor vehicle drivers need to grow tolerance of cyclists. 713 Paved shoulders are great but keeping the the pavement in good shape is also a priority. Chip- sealing is just as horrible as expansion cracks in the shoulder pavement 714 No bicycles should ever share the road with cars. If there is no bicycle lane, then they belong on the sidewalk. While driving my 18 wheeler, I passed a bicycle that was in the center of the bicycle lane on Warner east of the 101. The air turbulance from my rig knocked him over when I was about 100 feet past him. Luckily he fell towards the sidewalk and not the street. As it was rush hour, he would have certainly been put into the ambulance with a shovel. 715 add walking/bicycling bridges across the I-17 at Pinnacle Peak and at Happy Valley Rd. There is a heavy residential area on the West side and businesses and shopping on the East - only accessible by car. 716 Focus on continued maintenance of bicycle lanes and pedestrian paths so that they remain useful and safe. 717 This site will not let me mark any responses. 718 I think All issues brought up in this survey are all important so it is hard to just chose one. 719 Construct barriers to separate car & truck vehicles from leg powered transportation. Perhaps more lighting. I've almost struck an oncoming bike when a rider was using a camping headlamp only for illumination. Pass a law to makes all future bikes sold be reflective both in front and rear and not just lights but the painted frame, wheels, etc. 720 It would be great if the bike/pedestrian path could be incorporated into the landscaped area off the highway instead of being right next to the traffic. It wouldn't even have to be paved. Crushed gravel would work just fine for most people. You could use the money saved by not paving the bike path to add even more paths and trails. 721 Mixing slow, physically vulnerable bikers/pedestrians with high speed, heavy steel encased vehicles is just a horrible idea from the start. Bike lanes and pedestrian paths along our roadways should be separated from high speed surfaces. All current bike / walking paths/lanes need to be separated from high speed roads and highways. Segregate slow traffic from high speed traffic and the injuries and fatalities go away. 722 Have tunnels and tella porting systems to help people beam to other area with a push of a button. 723 By increasing the number of miles with paved shoulders of 4 feet or greater, you will decrease the number of injuries and fatalitites. 724 keeping brush growth off shoulders, wider shoulders

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 725 When I try to mark the survey nothing happens--however, I would rate all 4 "most important" 726 how about paving the shoulders of i-17 so it can be ridden by cyclist, and run a sweeper over it once in a while. more shoulders and wider shoulders would be a nice addition to all state highways. 727 Part of a good walking/biking plan is also a good public transportation plan. Without an integrated plan, people will be less likely to bike/walk because a backup option for transportation will not be readily available. Even with proper planning, one could venture out and have an injury, have inclement weather descend, or have equipment fail and thus not have an accessible way to reach safety. Public transportation overcomes this hindrance to people interested in alternate travel options. 728 Design bicycle and pedestrian friendly pathways in the landscaping area of freeways, freeway approaches and along over and underpasses.. 729 A very large percentage of bike-ped injuries and fatalities occur on locally owned roads in urban areas. How can the proposed goals for largely rural roads owned by ADOT be expected to have any significant impact on statewide bike-ped facilities or related safety? 730 Increased public education regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety especially with the motoring public. Let's move cyclists and pedestrians off the endangered species list and make them a known viable option welcomed by everyone. 731 Require that for every mile of new highway there be a mile constructed of sidewalk or shared use path. Consider feasiblity of utilizing existing utililty R/W (canals, electrical transmission corridors) as bike-ped ways that have a real destination. Obtain easements on properties along state highways for provision of bike-ped paths. 732 Bigger bike lanes and more public awareness for bike laws to prevent accidents. I have a few friends that have been hit by vehicles while riding bikes so this is important. The bike lanes need to be safer and the public needs to become more aware of bikers. 733 ADOT should work with commercial businesses along state highways to provide more secure bike racks and associated bike-friendly facilities. Portland Oregon has implemented many innovative bike-friendly measures that have increased ridership. 734 by increase the number of miles of shared used paths and paved shoulders of 4ft or greater would help in reducing injuries and fatalities to bicyclists and pedestrians and ultimately increase the number of people who may choose to ride or walk to work thus helping the environment somewhat. 735 Signs to warn bicyclists to stay in their lane and warn motorists there is a bicycle/pedestrian lane. 736 Not enough people walk or ride bikes! It is a waste of taxpayer dollars to accommidate these few people! 737 awareness campaigns 738 Enforce laws that penalize bicyclists for not obeying traffic laws. We as drivers want to keep the bikers safe, but when they cut an auto driver off and run red lights, they put themselves in jeopardy. 739 IF BICYCLE'S ARE TO HAVE SPECIAL LANES OR BE ALOUD TO USE SAID ROADWAYS THEY SHOULD BE TAXED FOR SAME AS VEHICLES & THEY SHOULD HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE SAME LAWS AS VEHICLE TRAFIC. 740 Get bicyclists and pedestrians off main roads and highways, especially during rush hour, but preferably at all times. 741 Public awareness campaign to promote bicycle safety. Get rid of "3-foot safety zone" concept and instead promote "reasonable zone of safety." It doesn't make sense for someone driving a 6000 lb SUV to be wondering whether they have 3 feet or merely 2.5 feet. 742 Increased signage on the roadways advising of shared roads and laws that both govern motorists and peds/bicycles. Also, increase policing of cyclists and motorists in violation. Educate police on laws for when accidents do occur. 743 Public Relations campaign to increase awareness of laws relate to the 3 foot rule. Include

Bike/walk to work during AZ summer is not realistic, but local pathways enable short trips for errands all year round. During not- summer, those same pathways would enable bike/walk to work, should the distances not be excessive. If the thinking is increased miles will result in people riding bicycles for long distances along state highways, strongly consider cost vs benefit and add some common sense to the equation, too. 745 Continue educating both drivers and bicyclist on how to share the road. Being both I know how it can bee irritating when bicyclist take up an entire lane when there is a shoulder for them to ride, but I know how terrifying it can be when drivers do not move over when passing or try to pass very close when there is more than enough room for them to swing out. 746 First, I see the goals of fatality reduction and increasing the % of trips improving as a direct result of the other two stated goals. If cycling/pedestrain facilities are improved more people will choose that alternative and it will be safer. Secondly, there are no measureable results for 3 stated goals. As written the second goal could be achieved with only a one mile addition of 4'shoulder. ADOT should identify appropriate benchmarks and targets for these stated goals. 747 Change rumble strip, more bike friendly. Consider bike and pedestrian needs as a part of all projects. 748 Include with all new construction 749 Have to make sure the roads are safe for both bicyclists and pedestrians. Make drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians aware of road safety and sharing of the road among all three. That is the main goal/concern to educate everyone. 750 Create a Bicycle nominal fee sticker that would be displayed on the bicycle in a conspicuous place; Issue citations to cyclists that are not in compliance to road rules: proceeds will offset the monies required to build new sidewalks, bike paths on and off state highways. This sticker would be issued and pertain to qualified bicycles that are not considered 'Toys' per Arizona . 751 Until you put back speed camera's to slow down traffic and take cell phone & texing out of the hands of drivers, our highways will never be safe for bike and walking traffic. 752 There is currently no good way to bike out of San Tan Valley safely. Ironwood has no shoulder, and there isn't many shoulders to get you to Ellsworth safely. 753 Driver's training should enclude more information on bicycling. I've had people stop me to let me know I should not be on the road. Also, more signage is needed so drivers become aware of bicyclists. 754 Work with the state legislature to have strict penalties for those caught endangering cyclists and pedestrians. Unsafe cyclists should NOT be exempt from these strict penalities as they are just as much danger to everybody. 755 Survey isn't working 756 1) Sidewalks on more overpasses. For instance, if we could build a sidewalk on Happy Valley and Pinnacle Peak I17 overpasses, that would allow more people to bike to Deer Valley where the offices are. 2) Trim branches that protrude into the sidewalk since they literally scratch the face and arms of bikers. 3) Add sidewalks so that bikers can stay on a single stretch without having to switch sides of the roads. 757 Engineer new ADOT highways and roadways to incorporate suitable bike and/or pedestrian ways. When existing roads and highways are rehabilitated or widened, encorporate the above features. 758 Providing designated traveling lanes seems very important to me. This places the biker in a safe

Thus everyone is safe. 759 more road signs educating drivers that cyclist are on roads and need to share. Stricter penalties for drivers that kill cyclist. 760 US Highway 60, between Superior & Globe, should be closed to bicycles, until these improvements can be made. This is a VERY dangerous situation. No shoulder, most is a passing lane with a wide gap in vehicle speeds, very blind curves for vehicle traffic to see and then avoid bicycles. Pedestrians running back and forth across the highway, to see and/or climb, especially in the area of the waterfall just above the tunnel. 761 on highway 87 north of Payson all the way to Strawberry the road is very Dangers for cars and trucks and no room for anyone to pull over now ever summer I see about 30 times Bicycle running up and down that segment of 87 this need to be address ASAP there is no room for this kind of actively its slow traffic down and some one is going to get hurt 762 increase the safety for bicyclist and pedestrians crossing intersections by adding a signal when ever a bicyclist or pedestrian is utilizing the crosswalk. Such a signal can be activiated by pushing the cross walk button and the red light can indicate someone is utilizing the crosswalk. The red light signal can be a flashing red light instead of a steady red light. 763 walkways (for instance in Sedona) that are on busy highways (i.e. 89a..bicycles should share the sidewalk (which is not used that much)..Much safer for bicycleists and not a threat to pedestrians 764 Keep up the work for bicycles and pesestrians! 765 Include a paved shoulder in any road maintenance or improvement project. 766 Increase the bike specific paths, and provide overpass or underpass on busy roads. 767 Work with local governments to provide funding and resources required to establish a safe bike path along county & city roads between the town of Florence, Coolidge and Casa Grande, Az. 768 In rural counties such as Payson, AZ not enough bike trails and sidewalks to ride on. 769 More shade! 770 Please put the bicyle lanes on the outside of the guard rail. This will make it much safer to ride. Lost a great opportunity to do so on HWY 179 here in Sedona. There is a painted line that is supposed to protect a rider???Really. No way will I ride or let my kids ride that road! STUPIDITY!!!!!!!! 771 The more safe bike path the less use of gasoline and cleaner air and healther people. 772 If we could have more SAFE walking and riding paths, we could actually use these to get to work and leave our vehicles at home! I already walk to work but find myself dodging traffic. 773 increase the width of the bike lanes so that there is more room between cars and bikes. Some major streets, they are too close and traffic moves to fast for safe sharing (example is Ray Rd and Chandler Blvd in Ahwatukee Foothills 774 I would like to see a bike path from the City of Sierr Vista to San Pedro and on to Bisbee. 775 Encourage bicycling to work. Identify gaps in existing bicycle routes and close those gaps with bicycle/pedestrian facilities. Provide multi-use paths along all urban freeways. This simple step would provide a lot of connectivity in the bike/ped network. SR 51 has a great multi-use path adjacent to it from SR 101 to Northern that should be the envy of every freeway in the Valley. 776 It is not safe to have bicyclists riding on roads that are not only narrow but are at almost highway speeds. Many groups ride unsafely riding several across so they can talk etc. Many will not use the bike paths that are being provided in order to make travel more safe for not only them, but the pedestrians and tha cars alike. 777 Most important is to be sure there are sidewalks along all roads. Even with a bicycle lane, we often see cars driving over the lines. It is too dangerous to be on the road if there is no other option.

Question No. 1: Please identify any activities that can be completed by ADOT to achieve these goals (500 characters max). 778 As some highways (i.e. countrywide) are off-limits to bicyclists and pedestrians, clearly sign areas that are designated shared-use. 779 License bikes & put bells on bikes 780 Not a cyclist because it terrifies me, but if I thought it were safer, maybe I'd try. I think if people felt safer, that would help increase the percentage of users. People also need to be be made aware that it is, in fact, legal to cycle on state highways. 781 Bicyclist don't stay in bike lanes - there needs to be dividers to keep them out of traffic - especially on roads like Pecos where cars travel at 50+ mph 782 There are many wide roads and surface streets that can easily have a bicycle lane striped-in at a very cost-effectively that can lead to main paths. Using minimal signing to identify paths that lead into major bike paths for longer distances can assist in reaching the desired outcome. 783 No additional. 784 Bicycle lanes are dangerous, especially at intersections. They can be blocked by emergency vehicles, obstructed by opening car doors, littered with sharp objects, and so on. Usable berms/shoulders are much better - bicycles can get out of the way of faster traffic when appropriate and merge with traffic for intersections. 785 Better maintenance of the bike lane “shoulder.” If the “debris” like rocks, glass, gravel, etc. is cleared off the bike lane, then riders will stay left of the white line, if the pavement is in good condition.

Improve education and awareness of all roadway users (motorists and pedestrians) on pedestrian and motorist laws . Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highway (500 characters max)

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). 1 Put higher fines into place for drivers that do not allow pedestrians the right of way. You have residents that use their cars as a weapon to make pedestrians run across streets. The same would be for pedestrians that just walk anywhere and expect the right of way. 2 The education aspect is not that helpful because there is not mandatory driver's ed here. So, without that, how is ADOT going to improve education -- it is haphazard. Signs are more effective 3 Separate systems for pedestrians and vehicles, when possible should be encouraged, like foot bridges and vehicle bridges. When not possible, roundabouts are very good for slowing and separating traffic.The dark sky element should be considered with lighting. We can have safety and dark sky at the same time. Also, solar should be used when possible. 4 Enforce stop on red before right turn. 5 why do people run on the road and stay off the sidewalk a lack of education or concern for well being? 6 bike and petestrian paths are lacking and greatly need for safety along Bell Road from 101 to Grand and beyond. Many sidewalks are to narrow, is My guess is that the rules need up dating. 7 reduce pedestrian/vehicle conflict 8 Once again no dots, I am primarily a bike rider ,but feel also the need to facilitate the same safety concers available to pedestrians. 9 Teach people who ride bikes to OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAWS. 10 maybe more bike signs....even signs for peds and bikes that share paths....alot of pedestrians hog the whole path/sidewalk and are unaware of the keep to the right rule....maybe post arrows of direction of traffic on shared paths. 11 Creating more shading for pedestrian pathways should be a priority. This can be done with not only trees, but with permanent or semi-permanent cloth shades or building overhangs. 12 SHADE helps!

13 Distracted drivers - if drivers cannot be educated & existing laws enforced, then pedestrians & cyclists should be separated from the roadway. 14 I think most pedestrians like taking back roads and only need to cross over highways. On other roads I would want drivers to not pull up to red lights rolling through the crosswalk before coming to a stop (I see this happen about 70-ish% of the time). I'd suggest rigid enforcement of the law in 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 48 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). this matter to protect pedestrians. 15 more bike lanes 16 In urban areas, ADOT needs to take responsibility for accommodating all "traffic" - ARS 28-601: "pedestrians, ridden or herded animals, vehicles and other conveyances either singly or together while using a highway for purposes of travel." 17 most motorist think of bicycles as a bother as opposed to people who are helping them drive more by reducing the smog emissions so they can continue to polute. 18 Most other countries already rely on this as well as other modes of public transportation. WIth the wealthy tycoons continually increasing gas prices, bicycles should definitely be put on the drawing board and wait no longer to construct what we can. 19 Add bike lanes to the West Frontage Road of I-19 where missing from Continental road in Green Valley to Rio Rico 20 Public meetings in Communities. Mailings to community residents. 21 I think the idea of "shared use" is faulty. Bikes, pedestrians and cars don't mix. They should each have a designated area. BTW, you survey won't let me click more than two buttons above. When I click more, it erases the button I clicked previously. 22 Lighting is always important, especially to pedestrians at night traveling alongside auto traffic. Anything to light up these areas will help everyone to see what is around them as they travel by. 23 It is not unusual to see 1-30 riders going north out of Payson headed for Strawberry or further - the Rim. The reality is they believe they can ride on the main highway (yes, I know it's legal and the law) and they do. This roads is not wide enough for them plus vehicles traveling north/south....They are a huge hazard and they just don't give a fat rats ass....I'm sick of them!!! I find in incongruous that you NEVER EVER see a sign to tell riders to stay on the shoulder ONLY! 24 Hard to rank these since all should be highest priority. 25 pedestrian pathways should be separated by a built-up median if it follows alongside a state highway. and should be labeled for biking/walking. debris often flies up from fast moving trucks and is a potential hazzard 26 in europe sidewalks are two collored to distinguish between pedestrian , and bicycle users to greatly dimish the shaired pathway accidents. 27 Education and awareness are very important and will help make it safer for everyone! Routes directly adjacent to highways are probably easiest, but sometimes aren't the best choice if people don't feel safe using them (high speed limit adjacent, don't connect to other viable routes) 28 Keep all of the rest stops open this year and keep them cleaned on a regular basis. 29 Better education and more accountability for distracted driving. 30 Most of these issues/problems are associated with urban areas. The state needs a coordination leader to work with municipalities to ensure the best use of tax dollars on any of the BikePed related projects. Improving education is always a very nebulous goal and sometimes a nefarious way to siphon money into graft & corruption. Oversight on spending is the most important thing to me. 31 Sidewalks in the city are generally good, but because the bike lines seem like such a risk, cyclists have to use them - which then cars are not expecting the cross-sidewalk traffic when pulling out (and not stopping or looking both directions). 32 my ranking 1,2,5,4,3 33 pedestrian activated crossings on SR 89A in Sedona would be best solution 34 Motorist education-they dont OWN the roads 35 The hardest thing about foot travel is crossing highways and train tracks. I usually try to aproximate walking "as the crow flys", and the highway rarely takes that route. It does, however, intersect. So, more frequent crossing opportunities should be prioritized.

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). 36 Having cyclists and peds on state highways will require clearly identified facilities (signs, lane markers, separation of facilities, lighting at conflict points, etc.) and serious education on the use of the facilities. 37 IF you already have a small shoulder and then you put a rumble strip on it, this can force cyclist to ride in the lane. This is happening on hwy 180 north of Flagstaff. 38 If you have a small paved shoulder, and put a rumble strip on it, this can force cyclist to ride on the edge of the lane instead of on the shoulder itself. There is a spot on Hwy 180 north of Flagstaff where this is true. 39 Install new and maintain existing are almost equal. It doesn't do any good to install new if they are not going to be maintained and fall apart in a few years. 40 maintenance is very important. The paths along the entire length of Cave Creek Road are so dirty and filled with debris that it is nearly impossible to ride without getting a flat or damaging your wheels. 41 All intersections with sidewalks have implied crosswalks, where pedestrians have the right of way. But how out of place and hated one feels when one tries to cross a major road (say, Milton at Phoenix). I can say, from personal experience, that "even" the police do not respect this. 42 All are important. 43 Actively prosecute distracted distracted/impaired/intoxicated/encumbered moterists who run over and kill cyclists. 44 Give pedestrians a lane to wqlk with a safety line. 45 The use of Highways is confusing.. . do you mean Highways as in I -10, I -17, 202, 101, etc or by highways do you mean the average roadway.

Only a fool would venture by cycle or foot on a afore mentined Highway, where the later road ways could be safer for mixed use by all. 46 Walk against the traffic. 47 Consistency of signage and visual cues for drivers about existence of pedestrian paths and crossings...too many places in the state where drivers have zero expectation of encountering pedestrians. 48 you can educate until the cows come home...who ,but the walker/driver can take responsibility for their actions...lighting and good sidewalks would help. 49 Including more information regarding pedestrian and bicycle traffic with vehicle license requirements or testing/training programs would be good. Getting more youth involved through in school biking programs would also be a great way to bring this knowledge to common understanding. 50 Please see my previous comments. 51 Put occasional educational articles in newspapers to describe the rights and responsibilities of both pedestrains and motorists. 52 Milton is full of places where people are (hotels) and where people want to go (restaurants) and not many crosswalks AND full of cars zooming from light to light, not pedestrian friendly, Fort Valley is like a fast river dividing neighborhoods- not easy for kids to visit friends on the other side 53 I have been places in Europe where bike paths or hiking trails paralleled autobahns, and this seems to work well in Europe---where towns and villages are in fact closer to each other than most of the towns in Arizona. But where feasible, it would be great to have hiking trails near highways, as seems to work pretty well in Flagstaff.... 54 These are all equally important. 55 All of these are important. I get the uncomfortable feeling that these ped/cyclist needs are considered ancillary to the ultimate trumping of all needs to the holy automobile. If bike/ped needs are considered ancillary, they will always lag as options. 56 Pedestrians should not be walking on or near state highways.

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). 57 bike paths and walkways are not properly maintained in Gila county 58 Especially along connectors to complete a logical path or where the state highway is only corridor available. 59 We need to change the way people think about alternative ways to get around. I cycle everywhere and love it, but most people don't get to enjoy this because they never try it. Let's work to make it easier to see the alternative as "better". 60 I marked education highest, because almost daily I encounter other cyclists riding toward me against traffic in a bike lane. Firstly, they encounter law abiding riders coming head-on, the most dangerous aspect of this illegal practice. Secondly, they increase their risk of being hit by vehicles entering the road from side streets and driveways, since drivers are not in the habit of encountering fast-moving traffic from the right in these situations and often only look left if turning right. 61 If I'm a cyclist I'm riding with traffic, if I'm a pedestrian I'm walking or running against traffic. Do you see the problem here? In order to pass easch other someone has to put themselves in harms way. 62 don't walk much on highways. however, debris always an issue~ on foot or wheels. maintenance not done presents risks as well 63 mid street crossings are useful. 64 Lighting has minimal benefit for pedestrians and bicyclists. We need safer roads and frequent safe crossing zones for pedestrians. 65 Maintenance is pretty good on the sidewalks I use. But there are many places that do not have sidewalks and many sidewalks with inadequate lighting. I am training for an endurance walk and I get out there before sunrise to walk when it's coolest. 66 Include bike lanes on all state highways. 67 a bike path or multiple bridges that follow the freeway or allow you to cross over into the neighborhoods. more bike paths in general!!!! 68 All sidewalks and shared use paths need to be at least 16 feet from the highways. Perhaps more pedestrian and bicycle bridges need to be built. Although educating the public is important, too many drivers are more concerned about being first, and too angry to notice conditions around them. These behaviors are obvious and they are steadily getting worse. 69 Many places in Arizona do not have even sidewalks, and so just including sidewalks is a big step to improving pedestrian access and safety. Stepping up enforcement of pedestrian violations (jaywalking) will also help. 70 don't believe pedestrains should be on HWYS 71 I am unable to click on my choices in this survey 72 Conduct public surveys and hearings 73 I occasionally but suddenly 'meet' joggers or bikers without lights going the wrong way in the bicycle lane when it is completely dark and I am in right lane. Although enforcement or education may not reach those who refuse to realize how dangerous this is, I think it is a problem. Why would either a jogger or biker not use the sidewalk at 4 am? 74 It would be helpful to have places with shade, and maybe water, along highways -- especially in the hotter parts of Arizona. The shade, at least, could be fairly inexpensive to provide. A place to sit down in the shade would help a lot, too. Again, the seats don't need to be expensive. 75 More pedestrian/bicycle bridges across roadways. 76 More pedestrian-friendly intersections. Signage and flashing lights at ped crossings in busy areas. 77 Cyclists & pedestrians should not have to share state highways with typically ignorant & arrogant Arizona motorists! 78 On driver tests, always include one question about bicycle/traffic useage. 79 Lighting increases usage after dark, important in both the winter, when it gets dark early, and in

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). the summer, when it cools down enough after dark to get outside. 80 Using old tire paving instead of concrete will provide healthier walking surfaces, pehaps encouraging more usage of paths. Ground level lighting rather than overhead may improve footing and help prevent falls 81 Educating motorists, bicycle owners, and law enforcement officers needs to be a priority. Many police officers do not know that cyclists are motorists and not pedestrians. Also, bike lanes or shoulders in many places are non-existent or poorly maintained. Carefree Highway, for example, is the only route between several prime cycling spots, but it has no bike lanes or shoulders in many places. 82 Please prioritize safety when planning this, as a few bad incidents can deter many from utilizing these projects that ADOT invests into. 83 Shared use paths on state highways are very important. I rated the "sidewalks" low because I am afraid that you meant concrete sidewalks. We need less concrete (heat retainers) and more environmentally friendly surfaces. 84 Pedestrian accommodations need to be kept realistic in distances in which pedestrians would walk between point A and point B. A 1 or 5 mile sidewalk to nowhere would be useless. But a 1 or 5-10 mile shared pathway between points A and B would be useful. I always wonder how important is education; would an education program have done much to decrease peds and bike related motor vehicle injuries and deaths? 85 There are uneven sections of sidewalks throughout Tucson. For instance, there will be a good couple blocks without one and then a small patch of a sidewalk available. 86 Safe crossing points should be available often enough that people will use them. 87 Hitting a bicyclist with a car should be a severe crime. I have heard people say that they will run over bikes if they get in their way! :( Drivers ed should make it very clear to move a vehicle over a safe distance or do not pass! Some just plow ahead thinking they have right of way. 88 When building or resurfacing a road, accommodate the needs of the bike and pedestrian paths instead of doing them after the other work is completed. Digging up and reconstruction of newly finished surfaces seems unnecessary. 89 same concerns as cyclists 90 Aside: the fact that your web developer limited this text field to 500 chars, but does not give any feedback on how many chars you are typing is ridiculous. Im wasting time cut/copy/pasting text in/out of word to get the count. 91 keep bicycles off the highway system 92 People should already know they need to slow down in pedestrian zones and stop when pedestrians are in a crosswalk. Enforcement needs to be much more aggressive, with much greater consequences for violating these laws. 93 Maintenance must be improved. 94 Bicycles and pedestrians need separate pathways. The two modes are not safely compatible. 95 how about some sort of bike paths along highway 66, andy devine and bealle st in Kingman 96 In Germany relatively few people are hit while on their bicycles. They do not have lights on the street but they do have them on their bicycles. Their driving licences are more difficult to acquire and they mandate a certain level of tread on cars to maintain good road traction There is also a sense of personal responsibility there that we do not have here. Look to their road / bicycle plans and see what I mean. 97 I think it's safer to walk against traffic. A vehicle (motorized or not) can't sneak up behind you and there's time to get over a little if needed. Bicycles shouldn't be on sidewalks, but they are because people don't feel safe on the road or they just don't know any better. Bike riders on sidewalks need to know the pedestrian has the right of way. Many just don't know the rules.

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). 98 Just how is an elderly person going to WALK or BIKE 30 miles or more each way on a FREEWAY!? Can you imagine a person walking/bicycling down the FREEWAY from PHOENIX to PRESCOTT to commute to work?? Is our government really that out of touch with reality!? Or, are you just burning money on purpose WITHOUT meeting public needs? Walking/Bicycling on FREEWAYS only benefit metro communities for short distances that ALREADY HAVE sidewalks in place on street roads! 99 Walking in Kingman is long and arduous. The city was designed by a drunk Chimpanzee. Other than recreational walks on paths I would NEVER walk on the roads or Hiways. 100 Lighting helps everyone, even those driving on the road. Education I put last because I beleive most people are aware of pedestrians and bicyclist's needs. They simply are more concerned with their own well being. More money would be wasted on education, dollars spent on providing better infrastructure for the pedestrians and bicyclists would go farther. 101 While maintenance of sidewalks and shared use paths is important, education and awareness is THE MOST important goal. 102 Education don't help erratic or impaired drivers. You see a lot of bikers riding the wrong way because they don't trust drivers & want to keep an eye out for those careless drivers. 103 It is unreasonable to provide lighting all through the bike paths, but at least keeping and maintaining current bike paths should be the minimum standard. Of course, education is still the most important factor. 104 In light of austerity, bring your own damn light on sidewalks! Keep light pollution down! I'd say drop the height of all lights not on a highway, and around 10 pm, turn half of them off, then at 3 am, turn another half off. If you are out at that time, you should have your own light! 105 Include the provision of sidewalks or walking paths into the cross-section of all state roadways. Require the construction of sidewalks/walking paths across all frontages of properties seeking new access permits as a conditon of approval. 106 Without education on the pedestrian and motorist laws most improvements are redundant. I see a lot of motorists cross over the white lines separating cars from the bike lane; it's fine if no bikes are in the way, but it should be a habit for people not to cross over, so that they don't accidentally cross the line when a cyclist is in the lane. 107 Not sure I understand what a crossing on a state highway would look like, or what purpose it would serve. What is a "shared use" path? Why are we talking about sidewalks at all? I thought this was for cyclists. Sidewalks are for walking, 108 Include bicycles in education. Many bicyclists don't stop at stop signs or red lights. Many bicyclists zoom across roads in pedestrian crosswalks. 109 Have to share 110 However, lighting may not work when scoundrels rip out the wires like they have on several roads in Rita Ranch. Don't provide lighting unless you can ensure it won't just provide criminals with income. $800,000 was wasted on Old Vail Road alone. Rewired several times and subsequently stolen. 111 Most cyclists also drive cars and are aware of rules ans sharing the road. The same cannot be said for most drivers. Education is key starting with required knowledge. 112 A good, 3 foot lane on all state highways would make them safe to ride. I would use them to ride quite a bit. As it is now, we have a few inches of broken pavement such as from Payson to Heber to ride on. 113 See 1st comment as it also applies to pedestrians. 114 Again, people don't want to walk right next to multiple lanes of cars that are going a zillion miles an hour. There needs to be separation between cars and pedestrians AND there needs to be lots of adequate crossings, lighting, and shade. 115 widen the sidewalks and paint the bike path clearly on them. Educate both cyclist and pedestrians on their use of them.

It's complete idiocy to expect us to get off our bikes, run to the button, run back and get on out bikes at every single intersection. Did I mention making the bike lane, ALL, of the bike lanes go all the way through the intersection. As opposed to just ending with no warning. What are we supposed to do, just stop riding?? 118 Education is significantly more important that any other items listed here. Education can lead to Arizona becoming a vital cycling community. 119 Please don't use this survey style where we have to prioritize--sometimes that is not the answer. You are missing out on information. Yes I can comment, but come on...is this just to record how many people responded? 120 As a cyclist, I am personally not a strong supporter of bicycle sharing along state highways due to posted speed limits on state highways. However, I feel Hwy 179 near Sedona should be used as a statewide model in terms of adequate bicycle lane spacing, bike access, posted speed limits, and adequate lines of sight. 121 the underpass on milton does not cater to bikes and is not a viable path for bikes with tag-alongs or trailers. this forces bikes into dangerous traffic or onto illegal train crossings. we need an under/over pass at the old town springs crossing. (Flagstaff, AZ) 122 Anywhere I can drive, I should be able to walk. 123 Complete the sidewalks - there are lots of areas around town areas where it goes from nice sidewalk to nothing and then back to nice sidewalk. Take a look at Avondale (107th Ave), Glendale (59th Ave), Arcadia area (Indian School). 124 I have the same concern as I would have for a cyclist on a state highway, which are inattentive drivers. I would like to feel that I am not risking my life when I go out for a run/ride. 125 I am also concerned about stray animals on these highways and educating people about that. 126 Adequate separation from cars, and some sort of natural vegetation to provide a buffer and shade. 127 Drivers in right turn lanes are only watching on-coming traffic so they can make their right turn on red; many of them stop in the crosswalk, blocking it. Drivers making a left turn on a solid green are only watching on-coming traffic for a break in traffic so they can make their left turn. Neither lanes are watching for pedestrians in the crosswalk they are about to drive through. 128 This page doesn't work either. I cannot make any selections on the above radio buttons. 129 Education and enforcement are key 130 Education is key and simple: more advertisements and more representation of cycling and pedestrian groups at local events. 131 Don't make pedestrian accommodations in places where vehicle traffic is not properly managed and under control. 132 EDUCATE BICYCLIST AND PEDESTRIAN OF LAWS OF THE ROAD 133 NO more lighting outside of major urban areas. Astronomers are suffering enough with the existing light pollution. Still cannot click any choices and this is my 5th time trying. 134 Tucson has very few sidewalks. Let's have more. 135 Is there something wrong with your web site? I mark one answer then on a second answer and the first check mark disappears. 136 Again, how can people who need to commute by walking or riding their bike to work, school or stores do so safely? This economy is bad and people don't have the luxury of driving due to high gas prices or vehicle maintenance. 137 Make use of cell phone illegal when moving in car. Steeper fines for not stopping at cross walk to allow pedestrians to cross safely. 138 Please also consider how pedestrian walkways meet up with public transportation options. If there are bus routes for example, please create safe paths that lead to the bus stops or

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). crosswalks to allow safe passage to a bus stop from the other side of the street. 139 After researching locations for sidewalks and crossings add bicycle partols of paths to ensure user safety. Then at a later date when users are very comfortable with using the paths, provide lighting to make them accessable during dark hours. Educate the local neighborhoods on the convenience of access to paths and crossings by creating a database to store biking and pedestrian routes via GPS like google maps does for driving. 140 Ped capacity to cross/travel along highways is necessary for people who choose walking or are otherwise without use of autos. Note that I think lighting is important, but access and education outweigh the lights in terms of necessity. 141 In our climate we need SHADE TREES on sidewalks in addition to the above items. 142 We should stop accommodating bikes. THEY need to watch out for CARS! It's their life! 143 Improving education and awareness is key for all roadway users. Drivers are not the only ones at fault for bicycle/pedestrian accidents. Bicyclists and pedestrians also need to know the laws. For example, a major area of conflict between all three parties is where bikes are supposed to be. The correct answer is on the road, not on the sidewalk. Though depending on who you ask, this answer will vary, which is a big source of conflict in itself. 144 No comment 145 All of these are important. It is very hard to rate them against each other. 146 Education is important but doesn't really matter if the infrastructure doesn't support pedestrian use (in many cases it penalizes pedestrian use) and nobody uses the sidewalkes, etc... 147 This is more geared towards the education bit. I think education and awareness are lacking. I've noticed all too many times, that motorists simply do not know how to react to cyclists or pedestrians on the roads. They don't know whether to speed up, slow down, etc. Often, they just get frustrated as a result and accelerate past without giving space, honk their horn, or both. All of which create danger. A TV public info ad campaign could combat this. 148 I see ADOT's role as providing infrastructure first, and working with local governments to educate second. 149 Plant local trees in order to provide shade. 150 I think making people feel safe with lighting, and lining streets with cover (trees) to encourage walking during the heat really helps - decreasing exposure. 151 Please EDUCATE motorists! It's amazing how many motorists do not know the rights of a cyclist and are willing to argue their ignorance! Maybe even frequent signage along roads stating the 3ft rule. And, maybe increasing the 3ft rule to 4ft or 5ft along with education. Make every driver take/pass a test on cycling laws even if they already have a license - do it online and it won't cost as much. 152 Increase awareness to pedestrians and bicyclists concerning the proper direction of traffic to walk and ride. 153 The main idea is that having more pedestrians helps our environment. 154 Transitions from tarmac to concrete sidewalks need to be smooth. if they were, more cyclists would use the sidewalks on the busier "non marked" streets.. e.g. Frank Loyd Wright is a perfect example. 155 Education is the cheapest, simplest way to improve safety. Bicyclists must understand that they are vehicles, and entitled to a full lane if need be. Motorists must understand that bicyclists must use roadways, and not sidewalks for safety. 156 Drivers need to SEE walkers/runners/bicyclists 157 Pedestrians "transport" themselves as much as those in vehicles do. DOT (transportation) should allow as much right to roadways for pedestrians and cyclist as vehicular traffic. Only then will it be safe to "transport" oneself in a manner other than in a vehicle. 158 Motorist act like they own the road when there are pedestrians and cyclists on the road. They make an unsafe environment with their road rage. Not only do motorist need to be informed

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). more, but there needs to be more enforcement of the rules/laws. 159 Keep the bicycles off the paved roads and put them on the multi use paths. They danger the public by riding on the 4' shoulders because they ride on the white line. 160 Just give us 3 feet of road and we'll be happy 161 None 162 Implementing a law that will increase the severity of an individual that hits a bicyclist as well as a law against texting while driving. Raising awareness of the dangers and impact of bicyclist being hit by cars 163 It would seem to make perfect sense that any metro area would want all types of travel be easily done without increased danger, not only cars, which is all that seems to be considered when planning is done in Phoenix. 164 More education in driver's ed classes about bicyclists and pedestrians. More outreach in schools and increased outreach in the form of fliers and paper goods. 165 Placing walkways on bridges over highways. 166 Far too many fellow cyclists and pedestrians have been seriously injured or killed in automobile accidents recently. In addition to roadway & bike path improvements aimed at pedestrian & cyclist safety, the general public needs to be better informed of how to go about sharing the road with non-motorized traffic. 167 Again, widen shoulders whenever a highway project is in operation. I don't know cost effectiveness of lighting, but it would sure be nice for keeping cyclists AND pedestrians safe. 168 It's hard to be specific about just state highways as they connect to city streets and county roads that may have more demand for pedestrian traffic. There needs to be a seemless transition for both pedestrians and cyclists, but overall pedestrian needs aren't that important to me. 169 Education is important, but this term is too vague to evaluate. Often ad campaigns are roundly ignored by the masses. Sidewalks that connect central areas are key to increases usage. 170 we need laws that penalize drivers for hitting cyclists. 171 laws, laws, laws, awareness, awareness, awareness! 172 Prioritize state highway improvements based on current pedestrian usage 173 Address the significant danger of riding on the sidewalk and/or the left side of the road 174 i repeat, since very few people walk, any expense to improve or add sidewalks is a waste of taxpayers money. 175 Create better signage to make drivers aware of cyclists and how much distance to leave between when passing. Pass with caution. Have police enforce these rules to let drivers know the seriousness of safety. Make wider bike lanes. Improve education by using PSA's, mailing info to homes, use the news channels. 176 Adequate lighting should adopt the European approach - lights on both sides of the street at the pedestrian or shared use path and zebra stripes on the street. Make the crossing more visible. 177 Seems it could be dangerous but with education, it old work. 178 education is key 179 Pedestrian paths and cars need to be separated. ADOT should work with city and town groups to make sure state highway sidewalks and paths connect to paths in cities. 180 STRICTER PENALTIES IF YOU HIT A CYCLIST WHILE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE! IF YOU ARE NOT SKILLED ENOUGH TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH CYCLISTS, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A LICENSE! There needs to be more communication to the public that cyclists have a RIGHT to the road!!!! 181 seems like this would be limited to very few urban areas. Improve the areas where most pedestrian fatalities/accidents take place 182 ...

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). 183 In order to get people to walk to work, sidewalks with lighting (for those that work 2nd and 3rd shifts) seems to be mandatory. Also, need to feel safe or people won't do it. Need to have people live close to work or they won't walk to work. 184 All of the above are important. I do not agree with a survey that asks us to rank the order. Reality is that we do not have to chose. You need to improve all of the above to save lives and keep people safe. 185 Again, more signage to allow motorist to know cyclists are ahead 186 No ideas that are specific for pedestrians. More people bike than walk on state highways. Same wider shoulders will work better for pedestrians. 187 More time at crosswalks to actually get across the street. Has anyone actually tried it? 188 Emotionally intelligent signage! http://www.danpink.com/archives/2012/04/textbook-example-of-emotionally-intelligent-signage 189 Not sure it's a good idea to encourage pedestrian foot traffic on state highways either in remote areas or metropolitan areas except for providing safety zones areas for stranded motorists. Access for pedestrians and bicycles should only be allowed on frontage roads which may be much safer? 190 As stated previously, it would be nice to have the path located on the right-of-way with fence protection - not on the shoulder, but separate from the highway. The area in FL was along I75 from maybe Ocala to Brooksville. 191 Again the survey will not let you respond. Sidewalks would be better in neighborhood to promote people meeting their neighbors and school children staying off the road on the way to school. Again highways don't need sidewalks and bike lanes. Most highway ramps say it is illegal to be on the highways unless it is a motorized vehicle. Center lanes by the schools would also be a better idea to keep trafic flowing. 192 pedestrians and bycicles should not be allowed on the highways at all. make the bikes pay taxes through registration and insurance. they want bike lanes then they should pay for them. no single file then they should have to pay a fine when caught or get a ticket. 193 Street lights need to be brighter. More"share the Road" reflective signs. 194 Row rankings, sicne I can't click on the buttons. Row 1 2 Row 2 1 Row 3 4 Row 4 3 Row 5 5 195 Safe crossings are the key 196 Public Service Announcements regarding driving rules with regard to bicyclists on the road would be helpful. Also including questions on written driver license tests related to the laws about cycling would be very helpful. 197 Construct bifurcated walkways that follow state highways. 198 We have been educating motorists and pedestrians for years. The problem is that they just don't care. Provide a safe, convenient, and separated path for pedestrians to use and we would see a decline in user apathy. 199 I will not commute to work on a bike because there are not enough safe pathways to do so, the roads are not safe, cars and bikes were never meant to share the road. Please make as many seperate pathways as possible. 200 Much fewer pedestrians than cyclists. Best to keep us in bike lanes, walkers/runners on paths. 201 have a chain link barrier or cement barrier between shoulders so bicylists can cycle everywhere 202 If all motorists, pedestrians were educated, considerated and cared about each other you would not need to make any improvements 203 Bikeways need to make pedestrians and cyclist feel comfortable or they will not use them.

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). should be placed on connecting housing to workcenters or entertainment centers. 204 Again, raising awareness is key! While money has been earmarked to ticket noncompliant peds and cyclists in Tucson, given the importance of walking and biking (for transport and tourism/recreation) in our temperate state, it's crucial to raise awareness of drivers, many of whom blithely operate potentially lethal vehicle w/out regard for more vulnerable roadway users threatened by their inattentiveness (texting, etc), their ignorance, and sometimes their aggression. 205 Crossings2 Sidewalks5 Maintenance3 lighting4 Education 1 Can't use the bubbles here either. 206 Pedestrians should be kept off state highways plain and simple. A state highway is for cars NOT for pedestrians. Why would you even consider adding a road hazard and likely guaranteed death to a pedestdrian allowed to walk along a highway??? Thats an odd one. 207 Provide wide sidewalks along busy interchanges, with landscaped buffer areas, if possible. Additional lighting in needed in these urban areas as well. 208 For public education, consider more PSAs. For the other options, establish priorities and consider new dedicated funding sources. 209 Bicycle riders need to be trained to use the shoulders and bike lanes when available, instead of the roadway. On Usery Pass Road has groups of 5-10 bicyclists take up the whole road instead of staying in their bike paths. They deserve tickets for creating a hazard. I have seen those bicyclists almost get run over several times by passing motorists. Sharing the road is one thing, but when you have a bike lane and don't use it, someone is going to get killed on that road someday. 210 I think improving safety with sidewalks and shared walkways is a no brainer for a goal. 211 I did not respond as I am most involved in biking. 212 My husband and I ride our bicycle on average 6,000 miles a year. We live in the west valley and have encountered even local police and DPS officers who apparently don't know the existing rules of the road as far as where we are alowed to ride and not ride not to mention all the other drivers who yell at us for existing. 213 All of these items should be most important. Our auto-centric society is unsustainable and we need to stop marginalizing those in our population who choose not to drive, or can not afford to drive. Pedestrian and bicycling facilities should exceed roads in quality. The higher the quality and safety of sidewalks and bike paths, the more people will use them. 214 Provide money to local governments to improve bike lanes and sidewalks IN Cities 215 so far I haven't seen a major issue with maintenance. it is important however. Keeping bike lanes on roadways clean is very important. Debris endangers bicyclists. 216 teach pedestrians how to be visible, and where to walk! Most problems are from people on the wrong side of the roadway. 217 Survey won't let me check radiobuttons! 218 ADVISE PUBLIC TO USE BICYCLE LANES BY RIDING IN THE CENTER AND NOT ON THE WHITE LINE SEPARATING TRAFFIC FROM BIKE LANE. 219 Most important is to make motorist educated to the rights of pedestrians and bicyclist. We have to work together and make it safer for people to take to the streets on foot or by bicycle. I think many more would if it was safer. Gas is just going up and any commute less than 10 miles can be done by bicycle. 220 I dislike shared use paths. Bicycles coming up behind a walker are fast--too fast, and silent. 221 The "improve maintenance" option is any oxymoron...there are no sidewalks to maintain!

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). 222 In town highways need adequate lighting, crosswalks and islands. Sidewalks need to be only on one side of the highway not both. Pedestrians are walking for excersise mainly and not going from store to store. 223 Good idea to educate "motorcycles" to stay in their lanes and follow cars rules and not go wild on highways 224 Maintenance is not bad on shared use paths and bike lanes, although it can always be improved - gravel gets loose, glass and debris accumulate without frequent sweepings, and roadside brush obstructs paths/lanes. Please take this as constructive criticism because I do believe ADOT does a decent job already. 225 This part of the survey, to my thinking is not well designed. Rethink what you have done here. 226 Pedestrians have no place on state highways, that's just plain dangerous. 227 Pedestrians should not be on highways, but safe places are needed for stranded motorists to walk to get help. Separated facilities for high speed vehicles and pedestrians is imperative. 228 Enforce pedestrian and motorist laws. Many young people, including some of the new police officers are not aware of motorized vehicle laws. Electric scooters, motorbikes without proper licensing are being driven on sidewalks and roadways illegally and the police are not acting to correct these situations. 229 More pedestrian infrastructure and better enforcement of existing laws. 230 test 231 The shoulder of highway is too narrow for police to safely get out of their vehicle and for broken down cars to be repaired or hooked up to tow. 232 Should walk facing traffic. Should have to wear light colored clothing. Should use sidewalk(s) not highway shoulder. Actively enforce above as laws. 233 I do not see State Highways as being a primary route for pedestrians. I would prefer to build trails separate from the roadway. Trails can have steeper grades and should cost much less. 234 Enforce the 3 ft rule and actually convict aggressive drivers 235 Educating and improving awareness is important but with the rapid use of cell phones and other distractions by unaware drivers you cannot teach stupid. 236 Again, separation if bike & pedestrian paths from state highways is critical 237 After unmarked crossings (jaywalking), the most dangerous situation for pedestrians is right turning vehicles who tend to only look left before making a right on red, right at a stop sign, or right from a driveway into a public right of way. 238 Non-urban highways and/or freeways would need separated pedestrian facilities, if anything. Urban state roads (i.e. AZ Ave/Country Club) could benefit from mid-block crosswalks, traffic calming, road diets. 239 Proper bikelanes go along way in keeping bikers in designated lanes and not creeping into car lanes. 240 People are not stupid mostly they are unobservant! 241 Again, education is one of the most important things that ADOT can do. 242 Blocks in Tucson are long, so you often see people (including children) crossing in the middle of a block because it's too far to walk to a crosswalk. I don't know if there's a jaywalking law here, but if not, that is helpful only if enforced by law enforcement. Install more HAWK lighting options in mid-blocks or at key locations where pedestrians often cross. 243 Pedestrian infrastructure along highways is worthless. A better answer is less highways. 244 It seems most motorist are not expecting to encounter pedestrians on state roads and highways and are therefore driving at speeds where evasive action itself can cause accidents and injuries. The addition of signs warning of the presence of pedestrians could make the road safer for motorists and pedestrians. 245 Work with State Land and other State and Federal agencies to make it not only easier, but more

Question No. 2: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating pedestrians on the state highways (500 characters max). appealing to accommodate paths next to State Highways. This is a problem in several cities around the State. Spend State funds that were approved by voters specifically for trails, ON TRAILS, not on anything else. That way voters are more likely to approve such kind of funds in the future, knowing they are putting their money where they want it. 246 this is a test by Brent Crowther. Do not include in results. 247 Lighting for pedestrians, especially rural areas, is very important. Also, firmer fines for not using the designated crosswalks. 248 Actually, Improve Education should be number 1, not the least important, but you first have to teach people how to drive before you can get them to the higher level of being aware of non- motorized traffic. 249 See previous statement 250 I would like to see more maps as to the routes I can take with my bike too. Like if I was going to the farmers market what bike route would you take? 251 Same - cannot mark responses. 252 If ADOT intends to increase the use of our roadways for bikes/peds, an aggressive education AND enforcement program for bikers/peds should be initiated. I frequently see cars and trucks having to swerve into oncoming traffic because bikers or peds won't stay completely in the bike/ped lane. But I rarely see motorists deliberately "crowd" a bike/ped. Improve the current safety record first. 253 a bike path from Payson to Fountain Hills, a bike path from Payson to Strawberry, bike path from Payson to Rim 254 I actually think it is too dangerous for pedestrians to be on the highways. In some places bikes should not be allowed at all until the shoulders are installed or widened. Highway 89 between Wickenburg and Congress is a prime example of DANGER! 255 It will not mark here, either, but I would give them all most important rating 256 Most people are afraid of bicycle or walking options because we are a automobile-centric society. 257 Sidewalks and shared use paths should be required in the landscaping area of all new state highway construction in urban areas. 258 Isolate sidwalks from roadway where possible. Obtain easements where existing R/W is not sufficient. Building sidewalks too close to live (vehicle) lanes is a safety hazard. 259 Explore separated pathways along state highways to improve pedestrian safety. 260 lighting, adequate crossings and sidewalks is a must and continueing maintenance in my opinion ranks right up there. Education and awareness is extremely necessary for safety. 261 State highways are for high speed motorists and not for pedestrians. We should not be spending money for people to have crossings or sidewalks on the state highways. 262 Build alternate paths so bicyclists and pedestrians are not mixing with motor vehicle traffic. Teach the idiots that you cannot get out in 50mph rush hour traffic going 10mph and expect to live a long life. 263 Shoulders often go unpaved when the main stretch of of roadway is improved. This leaves shoulders uneven, full of debris, and generally less safe than the main traveled roadway. 264 Once again, cost benefit with a large dose of common sense would indicate new crossings or paths along state highways are not needed. 265 put a 'barrier' or strip of land with a curb between sidewak and highway. 266 Difficult to add paths on state highways if you are not going to maintain them. The shoulders are often full of debri and are not cleared in a timely manner. Also, when ADOT closes lanes down the signs are put in the way of bicyclists so often you must go in the roadway. 267 My previous input works here as well. 268 pathways can be designated by the rightofway fence on one side and a curb or double white line. the pathway does not need to be paved with either pavment or asphalt. Dirt without vegetation will suffice.

We are blocked from the south by fences through the open space land along the 17 between Happy Valley and the bridge. Please find an access for us!

You can on a bike. 272 Actually, I cannot think of an example of pedestrian crossings on highways (other than overpasses). It sounds too dangerous for me to want to use... 273 walkways or paths would be the best option and they should be a good distance off the main highway. 274 I think there should be paths off the highway for the people joggiong or biking not motor. 275 None.

Question No. 3 Please rank the following BICYCLE considerations in order of importance to you. (1= most important, 7 = Least Important) . Provide wide shoulders on state highways for use by bicyclists . Improve maintenance of wide shoulders (for use by bicyclists) on state highways . Provide shared use paths for use by both bicyclists and pedestrians on state highways . Improve connectivity of state highways and bikeways . Provide pavement markings and bicycle detection technology at state highway intersections . Provide more bicycle facilities at destinations (e.g. bicycle parking, lockers, etc.) . Improve education and awareness of all roadway users (motorists and bicyclists) on bicycle and motorist laws Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). 1 Signage is very important. Shared use is difficult. More facilities would be very nice, and could be included as more shoulders are provided. It could be policy to include a wide shoulder on all roads (outside neighborhoods) either retro-fit or definitely on new construction. As these are constructed, benches, shades, bike racks could be added. 2 Safe shoulders/bike lanes are the most important. Then signage alerting/reminding drivers to watch out for cyclists. Mixing cyclists and pedestrians can be problematic due to the different speeds and sizes. 3 Provide four foot shoulders on all AZ highways without rumble strips. 4 the marking and amount of road use is limited. increase the bike path wide and decrease the hazard with reflectors 5 pedestrian and bicycle traffic don't go together well. Ped paths are preferred over shared use paths. 6 The bicycle intersection detection thing is huge. That's a big detriment for commuters. Drivers need to know that cyclists should be on the roads, not the sidewalks. First priority is creating shoulders, esp on 2-lane hwys, or roads lacking adequate passing room. 7 All #1 please. 8 Provide standard "rumble strips," suggest about 10" wide placed just outside the painted "fog lines." Some rumble strips are much wider and take up much of the shoulder, making the shoulders unusable for bicycles. Sweep shoulders as needed to remove glass and debris. SR-90 north and east of Sierra Vista has apparently never been swept and is glass-covered. 9 I was told by an ADOT supervisor that state highways were not made to be used by bicyclists and he would not put up a sign about the law to "give bicyclists 3 ft.". He said he would not recommend bicyclists to use state highways. I think you need supervisors who will use common sense and work to accommodate the safety of all users. This survey might be just the ticket. 10 there are definately bike lanes that need repaved particularly the phoenix sonoran bike trail on 3rd ave between campbell ave and thomas rd. it is AWFUL...so bumpy. i would think i registered bike trail would be well maintained. i ride it everyday and have to ride in the street outside of the bike lane because it is so bad. i love that path and would like to see more like it but it needs some love. 11 There must be adequate separation between motorized vehicles and bicycle/pedestrian traffic.

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). Building paths right alongside highways is inviting fatalities! 12 Contiguous bike paths with better transition to non-bike path roadways. 13 Keep cycling lanes clean and signed

14 Items 3 - 7 are all very important. Riding next to vehicular traffic doesn't seem to be working very well for us. 15 Spend down unobligated HSIP funds by aggresive shoulder widening program. Shoulders (see http://www.walkable.org/assets/downloads/22%20Reasons%20for%20Paved%20Shoulders.pdf); Bicycle Education for Police 16 We must have people creating superb advertisements to convince the public that this is the way to go. I have been to South and Central America and they use bicycles there. I will be traveling to Europe this summer and look forward to renting a bike while I am there ! 17 Community Meetings. Mailings to community residents. 18 Bikes need separate lanes. Jersey barriers work well and vastly improve the safety of biking.

19 I bike commute 25 miles a day (for four years now) The biggest impediment for me are the overgrown trees and bushes growing into the street. These push me into traffic. I know that if they cause an accident with a biker there could be lawsuits involved since the cities do try to maintain them but not often enough. 20 Bicycle riders ignore traffic laws. ADOT cannot enforce and DPS is far to busy as are local PD units - so there's no chance since the riders could care less!!!! 21 Good luck making the state routes bicycle friendly. Even if still physically able, I would not ever ride a bike on SR 89A in West Sedona. 22 Combining pedestrian traffic and bike traffic is difficult because typically pedestrians are oblivious to where they are walking... this is a real safety issue for bikers they need to be aware of and constantly vigilant for pedestrians... because most are so busy texting they just walk where ever 23 Make sure that we prioritize spending on projects that are in the areas where bicycle traffic is heavier and in areas where spending would increase tourism revenue to the state (return on investment). 24 I've already suggested the maintenance improvement, but I have to say the lack of detection of 2- wheeled vehicles (bikes and motorcycles) at lights is a real nuisance. Also irritating is its opposite- stopping a stream of traffic for no reason (no one there). Its a huge waste of fuel and tiring on a bike too. 25 my Ranking 26 The rumple strips which destroyed the bike lane on SR 179 are an outrage. They do not help the motorist much, but put the cyclist in extreme danger! 27 "If you build it, they will come". More access= more cyclist= more driver awareness=safety. I don't like shared use paths. It can be hard to see a cyclist off of the main roadway, and they put pedestrians in in danger of cyclists. 28 Allowing bicycles on the shoulders of interstate highways would be a nice addition. And keeping the shoulders of all the roads clear of cinders and debris would be helpful, too. 29 Most bicyclists seem to have the attitude that the traffic laws don't apply to them. Running red lights, cutting in and out of traffic and resricting the flow of traffic and when something bad happens its never their fault. They should be held accountable just like everyone else. 30 It would be useful to have a crossing at the exit/entrance ramp off of I-40 east at country club dr. It would easy enought to put markings across country club so bicyclist can safely make it to the south bound lane. 31 As an enduarance cyclist, we find that pathways and connectivity to be the greatest challenge. We often cut through many areas without traffic due to no bike lanes or very small lanes and 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 63 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). traffic congestion. larger and mor bike lanes are very necessary 32 More bike lanes on commonly used roads and educate the public on bike laws so all understand the rules and respect each others mode of travel. 33 Highway 180 out of Flagstaff is not a useful facility. I believe almost anyone who rides on this section of roadway would agree. The unmarked "bicycle shoulder" is very narrow, of inconsistent width, and of extremely poor surface quality (jagged edges, etc). 34 I meet many bicyclists near Grand Canyon that want to travel through the state. They often don't know the best, safest, most scenic route to get to Phoenix or Tucson. The I-17 is dangerous, uninviting and an appalling entrance to Phoenix; I recommend the 87. Think about the origins and destinations and strategize to increase bicycle tourism in and through our state. We're missing out on a major opportunity. Colorado brings in over $1 billion/year in bicycle tourism. 35 The finished surface of highway travel lanes needs to be a certain roughness to prevent motor vehicles from slipping and sliding. If lane markers are used, the shoulders could have smoother surfaces, more suitable for bike lanes. 36 All are important. 37 Pedestrians are different the bicycles! Hiway users know the rules of the road.....Do bicycles? 38 as above - consistent and highly visible markings and signage so that motorists have many cues warning them of shared roads attention to intersections (eg rotaries) that are friendly to multiple modes of transport 39 Bridge crossings can be a bit difficult at times on a bike when the abutments or railings limit the biking lane and sometimes force bikers into vehicle traffic lanes. 40 MOre bike-related questions regarding shared roadway rights on the ADOT drivers test. More highways with emergency parking lanes (AKA, shoulders for safe riding of bicycles). More 'share the road with bicycles' signage. 41 Use bicycle and pedestrian accident data to understand the topics and laws that the public needs education on. 42 I ride an average of 30-60 miles on the weekend days, and on every ride I have avoided near miss accidents due to car driver inattentiveness. I also live near 36th St & McDowell and work at Central & Thomas and am unable to commute to work on my bike due to bike routes not connecting and having to use segments of roads without any bike lanes or shoulders, ie, McDowell Rd. 43 Shared pathways can be problematic with the combination of walkers, strollers, cyclists, runners using them. A center yellow line and certain rules would be helpful to avoid collisions. 44 I'm uncomfortable the way this survey forces me to prioritize these elements w/out placing it in context with similar considerations with car facilities. Well connected & maintained shoulders or paths where appropriate are crucial to increasing bike/peds. 45 If motorists are more aware of cyclists and respectful when they pass, it can be safe for cyclists to ride on the highway. Even with a clear, well maintained shoulder of 4' a vehicle can terrify a cyclist by buzzing the white line. That said, as much distance as I can get between me and a car, the better. However, shoulders are generally covered in gravel and other debris which makes it unsafe to operate a bicycle at high speeds. 46 Bicycles have no business being on or near state highways, they are a saftey hazard. 47 Wide roads and shoulders = safety! 48 We need more bike lanes of at least 4 ft. on highways and education of car and truck drivers to give a biker his share of the roadway. 49 All of these are important. Cycling is a healthier and more environmentally effiecient way to get around. As we increase population, we need more people to cycle to keep the congestion down. Also, as we increase traffic in the cities, we need more outlying routes to be safe for the distance cycling enthusiast. Let's promote all the benefits; environmental, traffic, health and cost savings

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). overall. 50 We need wide, clean, well-marked shoulders. Rumble strips must have breaks in them, with the lane to the right of them wide and clean. Detection technology must be provided. I have been forced to cross streets on red. Manual crossing buttons should be within easy reach from the bicycle lane rather than requiring the cyclist to dismount or ride on the sidewalk to press the button. The ideal, of course, is automatic detection in the pavement or via some other reliable sensor. 51 see #1. I believe the distinct and vivid markings are the safest thing we can do. more effective than education, I think. shared paths can be risky: dog leash across path, people startled by passing bikes,,, 52 It is of utmost importance to educate bicycle riders that they MUST obey all the same laws as motorized vehicles, such as stop signs and stop lights. I respect the right of bicycle riders to share the use of the roadways.At least 95% of the time, at a stop sign, especially if it is a 4 way stop, the leader will merely slow down, slightly, and then the entire group will continue through without even showing down. At stop lights they will usually stop but then run the light. 53 There is great liability in NOT providing adequate bicycle (and other non-motorist) access to state roads. Most people know what the national standards are by now. Safe access will decrease law suits will occur and more tourists will visit. The verbiage of "complete streets" needs to be sewn into ADOT planning documents, those guidelines need to be honored with appropriate funding, then motorists and non-motorists alike will SEE how to share the road safely and thus reduce educational expenses. 54 Just to provide marked areas for bicyclists to use that will improve separation from vehicle traffic. Shared use paths work for areas where there is not room for a bicycle lane. 55 Tax bicyclists to fund the improvement/expansion of their bike lanes. 56 wider bike paths on street and better maintained as in newly paved, more paths, lanes, connections to main crossings. 57 I feel that anyone using State Highways should help fund the construction and maintenance of the facilities. The fees could be collected through the cities and towns or Motor Vehicle Department. Off Highway fees were enacted to collect fund for projects and enforcement of off highway use. I have both a bicycle and quad and do not mind a small fee to fund projects such as above. 58 Nix the idea of wider shoulders, make paved bicycle/pedestrian paths separate from the highways and boulevards, instead! As for motorists and bicyclists, each often considers the other annoying, and don't kid yourself. The first concern is safety, and you cannot make even the educated rider obey the laws or deter them from taking chances or being aggressive if that's what they want to do. 59 The shared use path should be the standard tool for ADOT when planning state highway improvements, and should be, by default, an assumption in all planning and construction. Moving as much bicycle traffic onto highway-parallel shared use paths as possible is the best way to protect the bicycle rider, as well as promote a healthy and fossil-fuel-light method of transport. 60 I get the feeling that drivers of cars and trucks don't understand how vulnerable bicyclists can be. Outrigger mirrors on trucks, for instance, can be dangerous. Maybe we need a "move over and slow down" law for passing bicyclists that's similar to the law for police cars and emergency vehicles? Tucson's bumper stickers saying "share the street -- give a bike five feet" might help, too. 61 More pedestrian/bicycle bridges across roadways. 62 Stop sweeping all the glass from the roadways onto the shoulder on 89A between Cottonwood and Sedona. It's hazardous as one much always look down for glass rather than looking out for cars. 63 Bike sensors at intersections - remember that a lot of cycles are aluminum, graphite, titanium, etc.

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). 64 Cyclists & pedestrians should not have to share state highways with typically ignorant & arrogant Arizona motorists! 65 Shared use paths will accommodate both cyclists and pedestrians and serve as safer facilities than paved shoulders. Many users are not comfortable on high speed roadways without separation from traffic. 66 With "all" the crazy drivers in the metro area, why would you want to allow bicycles and pedestrians on the highways? Isn't it bad enough that we have so many hit and runs now. Why would you want to add people with no protection (walkers and bikers) on the highways? 67 Need more bike paths and especially dedicated trails/paths. Personally would not ride a bike on a highway due to safety concerns. 68 Increase awareness of bicycles! More signs! TV ads (there are many that say watch kids around water, and watch for motorcycles, how about bicycles?) Increase fines for drivers that crash in to cyclists! They should not walk away. 69 I don't really want to see bicycles on our state highways. They are enough of a problem on our city streets - thinking they have all the rights of both pedestrians and automobiles. 70 Some of my check-marks are disappearing as I go to the next item. 71 an alarming number of accidents are happening, and there is little being done by the government to curb this. There needs to be more knowledge for motorists on cyclist rights, and much more harsh penalties when those rights are ignored. 72 Connectivity should be the first priority because it improves the resources that already exist. For example, two miles of freeway edge pathway between 32nd St and Thunderbird on the Piestewa Freeway would connect the Phoneix Reach 11 trail system and north Highway 51 pathways with the Dreamy Draw and Arizona Canal pathways. A pedestrian overpass over the Loop 101 at the CAP Canal would be key to connecting the Reach 11 trails and the McDowell Mountains trails system. 73 Bicyclists of all ages and abilities need to be able to traverse state highways safely - preferable separately. It's terrifying to see kids trying to get across under current conditions. 74 There needs to be more designated bike lanes. Vehicles give you very little space unless you're in a designated bike lane 75 More Share the Road signage is needed for motorists awareness. 76 I live in a rural area and use a two lane state highway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph that has absolutely no paved shoulders. We frequently encounter bicyclists, riding either singly or in groups, and because of oncoming traffic we must drastically slow down or come to a complete stop to avoid hitting the cyclists. This is most frustrating! 77 hard to rank, all important 78 Again, re: education. Almost any significant bike trip, a motorist will try to scare or harass a cyclist off of the road. Intentionally cutting off cyclists, riding inches behind and honking, throwing things, and "buzzing" (passing them as quickly and closely as possible), etc. It isn't practical or desirable to put bike lanes on roads where speed limits are already 25 miles an hour, but bicycles are still routinely harassed even there. 79 Maintenance of shoulders and bike lanes and development of new lanes and paths are equal, in my opinion. They are equally important, along with education. 80 Safety and connectivity are critical for people to use what ADOT provides. 81 Much of the education can be done by the industry and/or special interest groups. 82 Providing a median separating bike lanes from traffic would be really nice. 83 I believe that pavement markings and detection technology would go a long way to reducing accidents and making roadways and shared pathways safer. I can envision using such technology on shared use pathways near intersections to warn pedestrians and cyclists of cars in right turn lanes or warning both motorists and cyclists of approaching traffic. 84 If by "shared use paths" you are talking about a separate bike/walk path instead of using the

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). shoulder of a highway, then I would move that to most important. It would address wider shoulder issues, shoulder maintenance issues, and separate bike/pedestrians from the roadway making it safer. 85 Again, shoulder maintenance and location/depth of unsafe rumbles. 86 I would much rather have a separate path than ride on the highway. Cars use the shoulders a lot for pulling off & they are usually poorly maintained as well. 87 Motorist are unaware of bicycle only lanes and often use them as turning lanes. Also cars block crosswalks when waiting to turn right on a red light. On the same token some cyclists don't use paths and block the free flow of traffic when traveling in groups. Pertinent laws need to be enforced so these attitudes change. 88 Not all of these cost the same. 'Tis a shame that you are asking us to rank them without any concern as to cost. 89 People have to learn that they can not just run over bikers! Laws will be needed ( I am not suggesting that all collisions are intentional, but none should be intentional)! 90 In order to educate the public to SEE cyclists and to give them adequate space when passing them, try closing certain roads to motorists (cyclists only can use) on weekends on some sort of a rotating basis...... or even once a month or once a quarter for public awareness. The public will notice! 91 Like I mentioned earlier - the fact that recent ADOT road widenings in the Tucson area have removed the traditional rumble strip is distressing. We need to get back to giving the person in the shoulder area an additional tool (audible rumble strip) to detect a car moving into shoulder area is critical. 92 keep bicycles off the highway system 93 More signage, much wider shoulders, cleaner roads. 94 Intersections are always a problem for bicycles and cars as the bicycles often have to cross the motorist's lane to make turns. For example, a cyclist riding in the bicycle lane has to cross traffic to make a left turn. It would be better to have bicycles have an alternate way to navigate those intersections. 95 Paths in and around Kingman 96 Keep the edge of the roads clean and in reasonable shape. My largest problem riding these roads is flats. The shoulder doesn't need to be huge, but ample enough so a bike can ride in the center and not get swiped by an RV's side mirror. 97 Again, Pedestrians & Bicyclists DO NOT belong on the FREEWAY! This issue belongs under INTER-CITY transportation and NOT FREEWAY transportation. Also, this only benefits people commuting short distances (1 to 10 miles) which does not apply to the majority of people. FREEWAYS were made for LONG DISTANCES! It would be better to put public buses on the Freeway that carries bicyclists & pedestrians for LONG DISTANCES! 98 Bicyclists are currently not safe on Arizona roads and hiways. I will not ride here for fear of my life. 99 Increase sweeping of shoulders and bike lanes to remove debris that causes punctures. 100 Arizona is has a lot to offer visiting cyclist and should capitalize on this by providing more bike lanes and improve awareness and education to motorists about the improper use of bike lanes by motorists. 101 I would like to see a bikeway that runs parallel to State Route 51 - the entire length of it, with access points near all of the existing intersections. 102 User bike tax we need to pay ur way 103 I would like to see shared use paths in the city. 104 It is important to maintain what is already available, then focus on expansion. However, inter connectivity is also a key to get better ridership.

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). 105 education means nothing to motorists, severe enforcement of laws is more important, 106 How can I do this? All are important. Encouraging bike facilities at destinations (actual racks that function, positioned properly), educating all roadway users (we are clueless compared to Europe), look at what works in Europe. We have the weather they don't - capitalize on that! 107 Most driver that are not cyclist do not know the law that applies to bicycles. Even law enforcement officers (county -city) do not know the law. Go back to taking a driver test every 5 years. And a lot of shoulder are not overlayed when the main line is done (to save money) between Winklman and Mammoth is a good example of a shoulder not maintained.SR 77. 108 clean wide shoulder to ride on with signage to inform drivers to pay attention. Change laws so that it is a felony to injure or kill a cyclist or pedestrian due to inattentive driving and informing the public of the laws. Drivers getting fined $500.00 for killing cyclists while driving and not paying attention is so wrong at every level. 109 The key to promoting cycling safety, tourism and enjoyment and to help reduce friction with drivers, is adequate, connected shoulders. Also, the rumble strips should not be installed in the middle of the shoulder as that pushes cyclists into the road. 110 Not too long ago, I had a long (heated) discussion with an MCSO lieutenant regarding the 3' law. He maintained I had no right to ride on the pavement on New River Road. That told me something very troubling. How can cyclists expect any driver to respect the laws, when the officials who should enforce them are so ignorant. 111 ADOT could publish a statewide pamphlet similar to the small book distributed by Pima CO for education and awareness for both drivers and cyclists. 112 Just having a well marked, well maintained shoulder would be a good first start. I doubt the public would pay for shared use paths paralleling state highways. 113 Again, it's all about giving bikes and pedestrians at least equal access. Cars shouldn't rule the road, they should share the road. It's all in how we design roadways, bikeways, and paths for walking. Think about the greatest possible safe access and usability for every means of transportation. 114 I give up on educating motorists on sharing the road with a bicycle. They or should I say We are unable to share the road with other motorist let alone cyclist. As long as the group of motorists contains a large % of drivers who believe they can do everything else while they are driving. Texting, Cell phone, Eating, Drinking Etc. You get the idea. 115 Did I mention making the bike lane, ALL, of the bike lanes go all the way through the intersection. As opposed to just ending with no warning. What are we supposed to do, just stop riding?? 116 Develop a recognition/designation of 'Bicycle-Friendly Community' (maybe based on amt of lanes, signs, education programs, etc) and state-sponsored signs for city limits. Great daily reminder for everyone in addition to practical benefits! 117 I would move Education up in the priority if allowed to put more than one mark per question. 118 After education, expanding the use of Arizona's highways is very important. We have an amazing state, and I have travelled across it several times on the state highway system. It is very difficult to safely share the road with motorists on many of the roads. 119 Wide shoulders only work if you are going straight. Bicycles can not be expected to only ride on shoulders. 120 Why is there so much focus on state highways and not city streets? We need better bike lanes on our city streets to motivate more folks to commute. 121 Shoulders must be clean and smooth, else bicycles are forced into traffic. The worst situation is when a large shoulder exists but it is too rough or clogged with debris for a bicycle to use. Motorists see the shoulder and expect the bicycle to use it. Angry conflicts result. Cars honk and pass fast and close. The highway between Mammoth and Winkleman is a prime example. 122 helping motorists become more aware of the importance of people on bikes and motorcyles and

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). the danger of road rage. 123 Adequate separation from vehicle traffic, including native vegetation to provide a buffer and shade. 124 Push for no cell phone use while driving 125 This page doesn't work either 126 If you build it, they will come. More infrastructure, more education, more enforcement. 127 Security at bike parking areas is essential to get people to ride and leave their bikes all day. 128 Still cannot click on any items . . . 129 Same problem on this page. 130 Your survey will not allow me check a number more than once . 131 The Picture Rocks area has no public transportation and greatly needs safe bike/walk paths to connect Marana High School at Emigh and Rudasill Rd where Desert Winds/Picture Rocks schools are located to access the stores at Picture Rocks Rd/Sandario. Of course, public transportation is also greatly needed in this area. 132 Could we require drivers who have hit bicyclists to attend a Bicycle Safety course? 133 Educate drivers about 3' rule, and why bicycles do not always stay as far right as drivers think they should (glass gravel etc.. in road). Educate cyclists about their responsibilities: staying off sidewalks in urban areas, proper lane use, etc.. 134 Widen bike paths or allow an entire lane for bikes. Cars should have to pass cyclist by moving over to the next lane. Cars should not be allowed to cut off cyclists or pass them to cut them off to make a turn. Cars should have steeper penalties for rolling through stop sighns and for driving in bike lane. Make use of cell phones and GPS ILLEGAL while moving in a vehicle. 135 Not only does this infrastructure need to be created but it needs to be advertised in such a way as to allow users to identify location and availability. Furthermore, a method of users communicating needs via instant message would be very helpful for ADOT to identify where the needs might be greatest. Where would ADOT get the most bang for the buck. 136 Also providing maps and data about bicycle routes near or on state highways would be very useful. 137 Start with improvement to infrastructure then work on public education. Note: Bicycle safety information and traffic laws are already included in driver's licensce manual and taught at Defensive Driving Schools/Classes. 138 Continuing improvement and maintenance of bike paths..... 139 leaving space for cyclings - wide shoulders - with good markings and signage is important because cars go so fast; more roads with shoulders is important - on secondary roads; not main highways. sidewalks are not so important; cyclists want to use the roadways and follow the rules of the road. 140 Providing wide AND well maintained (i.e.occasionally run a street sweeper over it) bike lanes / shoulders, plus education of and enforcement against motorists would be a good start. 141 Amend state law to clarify bicycle rules and impose additional sanctions on careless motorists. 142 Bicyclists should stay off major highways. 143 Again, wide shoulders on highways are inferior to ped/cycling paths, as the speed differential is so huge. In cities, shared lanes are superior - i.e. use of sharrows and riding with traffic...because the speed differential is much less. 144 Please...do NOT widen already bloated highways. All you do is increase the danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Shrink the highways' bloated waistlines and turn over the surgically- removed car and truck lanes to protected and shaded footpaths and bicycle paths 145 All the above are great ideas and important, hard to rank them in an order. 146 These would all be significant improvements to bicycle accommodation. Again, improving education and awareness for all parties is key before physical improvements should be made.

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). 147 The urban shared use path is excellent currently; problem is, most of the paths don't connect. By connecting the urban shared use paths, use of city streets and highways by cyclists will go down considerably, as will injuries/accidents/deaths. 148 Again, education is important but focusing on designing the environment to prevent injury and fatalities is more important. I'd rather have an uneducated motorist and a 4 foot shoulder than an educated morist and no shoulder. 149 Education is very important, yet it's lacking. Often, I see motorists not knowing how to respond to a cyclist in the road. They get frustrated and impatient and then accelerate past, honking their horn. This is dangerous, and simply caused by lack of education. A tv ad campaign should be used to educate the public. Thirty seconds is not worth someone's life. 150 Even harder to rate than the pedestrian questions. ALL OF THE ABOVE PLEASE! 151 Parking at destinations is really the responsibility of that location, public or private. ADOT should focus on the infrastructure first, primarily providing the necessary means to reasonable use roadways or otherwise (pathways) travel on bikes. 152 I think there are too many dumb motorist on the road talking on cell phones and texting and reading...what have you. There should be a campaign regarding what truly happens when they aren't driving and how much driving really requires concentration. After that, encouraging riding bikes by creating more paths and places to lock bikes would be good. 153 1,2,&4 are really of equal importance to me but start with what already exists and make it better, then add more and connect them together. And again, EDUCATE the driving public. 154 I think EDUCATION is the biggest factor in regards to cyclist safety while out on the roads with Motor Vehicles. Drivers don't seem to understand that cyclists are allowed to be present on the roads. 155 all least important 156 provide more than one chouse up & down on your survae 157 Selections won't stay checked. 158 Facilities to secure the bicycle are very important. Not too sure about lockers in general purpose environment: they might be an invitation for misuse/abuse. 159 Form a committee comprised of cyclists to work with the State DOT. 160 Cyclists and pedestrians should be allowed convenient access as much as vehicular traffic. 161 Some of these were tied in my mind but I had no alternative but to just pick one for each category (most important,etc). They are very important as prices of fuel increases... And we are becoming more obese due to lack of exercise. 162 Keep the bicycles off the paved roads and put them on the multi use paths. They danger the public by riding on the 4' shoulders because they ride on the white line. 163 I got pulled over by a State Policeman one day, because I didn't have a red light on my bicycle (I'd forgotten it that day; my mistake). We had about a 20-minute conversation about bicycling, because he biked too. The most interesting and disturbing thing he told me was how a lot of motorists will call police dispatch to report a bicycle using a highway road lane, because motorists don't realize that bicycles are vehicles too. 164 I get very uncomfortable when I see cyclists. When there are two or more bicyclists, they always ride over the line as if the bicycles have the right of way on the road and the car has to move over. Bicyclists can be unpredictable and can lose balance easily potentially falling into the car's lane. I’ve seen cars almost get into accidents with other cars due to cyclists being careless. Sometimes cyclists don't even use the shoulder which is even worse! There has to be a better way. 165 I think the maintenance is moot as far as if there was an exiting shared use or bike path that users would use it anyway, but they must first exist, and have them well marked and done so to be an obvious visual cue for motorists and not tiny little hard to see signs. I see larger signs

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). warning that animals may be present than I do for people on bikes. 166 There should be an ongoing & thorough public awareness/mass media campaign targeted at educating drivers. Many broadcasters, (such as Cox Communications, TV news & radio stations) can partner with state agencies to produce Public Service Announcements. Here is an example: http://youtu.be/X1q8VAkBE5E. From a legislative standpoint, a ban on all electronic device use while driving (or any distracted driving), not just texting, should be passed, enforceable, and enforced as a primary offense. 167 Having ridden in most of the towns in the Phoenix metro I have found drivers to be generally unaware of cyclists. On a typical ride of 50 plus miles it is common to get at least one driver angry that a biker is even on the road- I ride in the bike lanes or as far right as possible when the pavement is not raised or unsafe. Common causes of concern: being honked at, driven dangerously close to,drivers pulling into bike lanes and stop when turning onto roadways. 168 Wide shoulders are fine as long as they are maintained. Shared use paths are good in areas of heavy vehicle traffic as long as they are not sidewalks and are designed so that bicyclists can easily pass slower pedestrians. 169 narrow and debris covered bike lanes and/or shoulders make it difficult to ride properly. I believe the wider lanes would be very helpful - as well as making connections - between areas - without loosing the wider lanes. 170 i repeat . . . the state has plenty of bike trails already in existence . . . they're called sidewalks since you very seldom see them being used. 171 I think separate bike paths would be better than wide shoulders. 172 Widen the shoulders is very important. Put more signs out that make drivers more aware that bikes are on the road and how to interact with them. Pass with caution and reduced speed. Leave adequate distance, 3 feet or more. Have police enforce these laws. Educate drivers. 173 Same as for pedestrians - bikeways need to be physically separated from the roadway and should connect to existing bikeways in cities/towns. The more shade trees along bike paths the better. 174 STRICTER PENALTIES IF YOU HIT A CYCLIST WHILE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE! IF YOU ARE NOT SKILLED ENOUGH TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH CYCLISTS, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A LICENSE! There needs to be more communication to the public that cyclists have a RIGHT to the road!!!! 175 need public comment to identify which segments of highway need improvement for cycling. 176 Please increase bike lane width and conditions. I ride 200-250 miles/week and this is the number one cause of accidents i.e., ability to distance yourself from cars on the roadways which in turn makes the drivers angry and aggressive. Also, the penalties for hitting bicyclist is nonexistent. 177 Giving cyclist well maintained adequate sized bike lanes allow for them to stay out of the roadway and therefore stay a bit more safe. Providing more training for drivers and police to help maintain bicyclist safety should be a number one goal. 178 Bicycles, especially rode bicycles need a road that is well maintained. Small cracks and bumps are a huge riding impairment for a cyclist whose tire may be no wider than 1 inch. 179 wider shoulders on any highway the carefree highway especially towards carefree. 180 more separate paint which brings attention to drivers that cyclists are in bike lanes 181 Same as above. 182 More bike lanes 183 Again, SR 87 between Pine & Strawberry is heavily used by cyclists and needs to be widened for the safety of all. Cars routinely cross the double yellow to avoid slowing down for cyclists because there is no shoulder at all. 184 We feel the need for walking paths or sidewalks and bicycle access routes in our town. Right now we have to walk in the road and it feels dangerous with so many cars going by. 185 I mostly ride city streets, so I'm unsure as to the benefit(s) I would enjoy from improvements to

They go between stopped cars and don't stop for traffic signs. 188 We as a state need to get serious about protecting the safety of our pedestrians. There are too many stories of cyclist and pedestrians being hit by distracted drivers. It has to stop. Need improved awareness, banning of handheld devices by drivers, and improved bike lanes for safe riding. 189 they should have to get a license to ride on the roads just like a vehicle. they should be subjuct to dui just like anyone else and should have to be a certain age before they are allowed on the road. if they own a bike they shoul have to pay a tax to have that bikie lane installed. just like we pay tax on gas they should have to pay a tax for thier bike . they want the lanes make them pay for it. 190 How would you improve education and awareness that would actually produce results? 191 More signage on roads to alert motorists of the 3 foot law. Also more signage to alert motorists of bike lanes. 192 Improved education is important for a bike friendly state, but you need the infrastructure first so you have something to educate folks about. 193 Education of all forms of roadway users is the key to safe cycling. The MUTCD signs in use today do not adequately define and convey the laws relative to sharing the road. Include multiple questions regarding sharing the road on drivers license exams as a way to educate. 194 Currently, the state of the roads in AZ is pretty sad. As a cyclist, I have ridden most of the major roads from Phoenix to Tucson. One mile I'll be riding along a nice shoulder only to have it completely disappear the next. Not to mention the chip seal speed bumps found frequently around AZ. Better shoulders (or any shoulder at all) with the proper maintenance to accommodate cyclists (Read: Smoother roads) would greatly help to improve bicycle use and safety. 195 1. Safe Bike Lanes 2. Safe Intersections 196 safety from passsing vehicles 197 Bicyclist are getting by just fine without tax money. Build roads with that money. How about from florence to the east valley!!!! There is a useful expenderature!!!!! 198 education is the key 199 Sounds like you have already decided to focus on highways. So is the idea that I would ride my bike from Globe to Phoenix for a meeting or lifetime acheivement for my bucketlist. My thought is bikeways that are attractive and convienent are the ones that are going to get used. It does not matter what you build if no one uses it. The Scottsdale greenbelt for example is a bike path that you can see people using all the time do you need a connector to an employement center or bike racks etc. 200 continuation of last comment: re, education: Of course, bikers and peds should also know and comply w/ the laws, but we're more likely to do so b/c of our vulnerability to larger vehicles and their drivers. (that said, there are some cyclists who jeopardize my well-being by biking recklessly and causing ill-will towards me and other knowledgable and "compliant" cyclists. 201 FIX THE WEBSITE!!!!!! 202 Folks the REAL ISSUE is the bicycle riders are careless, rude and not safety minded. They should not be allowed on any highway which is not a safe inviroment [min. two foot paved shoulders] for vehicle traffic first and bicylists second. These bicylists ride on roads without paved shoulders in the roadway around cures and up hills. It is insane! 203 regular street sweeping of the shoulders would be nice, a separate bike path or shared used path would be ideal (and it needs to be maintained during winter just like a road would) 204 Cyclists are a road hazard so I would dramatically limit their access to the state highways unless

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). they have a wide berm to ride. I would have a transition are between roadway and a bike/pedestrian pathway, say 6 feet or so that is merely "terrain" and not to be used by the cyclists with their paved path well out of the way. Common pavement with only a line separating cyclist and cars is not acceptable. 205 Education of bike riders is the most important thing. Would like to see more police controlling these riders who dart out in front of cars and fail to obey the rules of the road. 206 This is taking too long. 207 All of the items should be in the most important column. 208 Debris has been a huge issue causing injuries to cyclists on highways so any help there would be great. Particularly the Beeline Hwy. 209 Most cyclists are well educated about cycling already. That's why they do it! 210 These designated bike lanes need to be kept clean. We find ourselves needing to move over into driving lanes just to get around the debri. My husband and I sometimes even stop while riding to move debri off the roads and bike lanes especially steel belted tire debri. 211 All of these items should be top priority for ADOT. Bicycling is one of the most environmentally, economically, and socially sound modes of transportation. They are as fast as cars in most urban situations, improve public health, and COST NEXT TO NOTHING. 212 Riding on State highways is not apriority for most cyclists, this will not increase users or riders. This is only a small contingent of the people who want to commute. Having said that use your money to help cities and counties. If you feel like ADOT HAS to do something, than fix the shoulders and clean them up 213 I would like to see pathways NOT related to roads at all. Accidents with bicycles are always blamed on the vehicle, even if the bicyclist is in the wrong. 214 Create cycling opportunities - wide shoulders, connectivity, shared paths. There seems like there has been little progress in construction, update, education. Public needs to see action; see that this is a real priority for the state. Users will support the emphasis, but there is little information and little rallying around the issues. Needs visible top-level support form the governor and administration. Then, educate, educate, educate! 215 They ride at their own risk. It is too dangerous the way a lot of people drive and at 75 mph speeds. Get bicyclists off state highways. 216 paint bike lane images in the shoulders. post signs to have caution for cyclists 217 All are important but education that it is safe to take to the streets is most important. 218 I find that bicyclists like to ride side by side and some ride too close to the left white line for a driver's comfort. I worry about them hitting a small rock and loosing control, falling into my driver's lane. 219 Frontage Rd between New River and Anthem badly needs bicycle lanes. Also WB New River Rd from I-17 to 74 needs wideer lanes and better pavement with lighting along the way 220 Prefer separate lanes for high speed vehicles, trucks and busses, slower vehicles, motorcycles and then bicycles, in that order towards outer edge of roadway. It is dangerous riding a motorcycle, and moreso riding a bike along highways. 221 Bicyclists have no place on state highways. That's pure nonsense. 222 Too many rural highways have no paved shoulders for cycling. Often times rumble strips are cut in the middle of narrow shoulders, thus reducing the shoulder width for the cyclist. Again, start enforcing the 3 foot law when passing cyclists. 223 If paths are provided on highways, they should be physically separated to keep bicyclists from straying or riding more than single file. 224 test 225 test 226 Build and maintain separate pathways for bicyclist and pedestrians AWAY from highway and enforce it's use.

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). Bicycles DO NOT belong on highways. 227 different colored lanes like other countries do, sweep the bicycle lanes/shoulders more.. debris causes cyclists to ride closer to road or crash potential from flats is higher 228 Have the Adot employees that are working this project ride their bike to work once a week, that'll teach them all they need to know 229 Education to bicycle users is as important as to vehicle drivers. Licensing bikes for use on state roadways should be required along with a qualifying test, as with a driver's license, before issuance of the license 230 DO NOT ALLOW CYCLISTS WHERE THEY DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE SHOULDERS OR ANCILLIARY PATHWAYS AS THEY ARE IN DANGER AND A HAZARD TO MOTORISTS 231 Min 4-foot, marked shoulder from edge of rumble strips. Signage on popular bicycle routes (such as Beeline, Maricopa Road) to alert drivers. 232 I just rode the Answer to the Challenge and the road from Payson to Strawberry is a two lane road without a shoulder. An idiot motorist in the on-coming lane tried to pass a string of cars, forcing a car behind the cyclists to go into the ditch at speed. The car bumper hit the right pedal/foot of my friend. A shoulder would have made stopping easier and he probably would not have hit her. 233 Road diets- more space for bikes, less space and lanes for vehicles. 234 Bikes ride in the bike lane closest to cars because the curb-side is dangerous to ride. Cars don't move around bikes like they should. 235 Bicycle facilities is FAR AND AWAY the most important thing on that list. Bicycle infrastructure along highways has very limited value, so ADOT should instead be providing grants to cities that can help them fund bike lanes on surface streets. 236 I don't bike on state highways. 237 In order to increase safety, adding more bike lanes/paths would help keep bikes off roadways. Considering how drivers react when I ride my bicycle and even my motorcycle on the road, I would much rather prefer to ride my bicycle on dedicated lanes versus sharing the road with vehicles. 238 Again, until bicycles have to be registered, take a written test, and follow the actual rules of the road (which Never occurs), it might be more important. 239 This is a test by Brent Crowther. Do not include in the summary report. 240 I care more about safety than anything else. There are too many bicycle deaths, often due to drivers weaving into bike lanes. Additional education and marking. 241 more signage with references to vehicle/bike seperation requirements, marking of bike lanes 242 Again, if we're going to provide a safe and sane bike or ped experience, 4,000 pound steel objects moving at high speeds and 250 pound soft objects moving at slow speeds must be segregated. Intersections of highway and bike/ped lanes should consist of overpasses or tunnels. Paths and lanes should be segregated from roads or highways. 243 yes, that would be nice 244 Same - cannot mark responses. 245 Mark all most important--Since I cannot mark any of these items, I would say that increasing alternate forms of transportation over cars is a very necessary plan--more exercise is good for all 246 Concerned about bike lanes at intersections. It seems that if there is a (vehicle) right-turn lane, the bicycle lane is sacrificed or has "dotted line" status. The message to the bicyclist is, "Your're on your own--good luck!" Better education may be the best solution: Drivers don't automatically consider bicyclists when in reality they should because bicyclists are more vulnerable to injury in a conflict. 247 Everything to me is so important it is hard to rank. But anything that provides safety to bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists it utmost. 248 State highways should have shoulders for bicyclists so motorists don't have to slow down for

Question No. 3: Please identify any specific concerns, thoughts, or ideas that you have related to accommodating bicyclists on the state highways (500 characters max). them. 249 Keep bicycle and pedestrian traffic as far away from motor vehicle traffic as possible. Since even with wide shoulders bicyclists with a death wish will still ride 3 or 4 abreast, make it illegal for them to block motor vehicle traffic. Find a way to enforce it. 250 Only the last item is worthy of consideration; improve education for roadway users. All the others would lead to immense funding needs, followed by recurring maintenance needs, and would also require suspension of common sense in that very few bicycle riders would care to ride long distances of state roadways. Especially during the summer months; cost vs benefit, one more time. 251 EVERYONE (motorists, bicyclists, POLICE) need to be aware of the laws, especially in the case of an accident. Often police seem to be unaware of how the law actually reads. This is quite frustrating. 252 For the safety of bicyclists, put in a curb and extra land between the bicycle path and the highway. 253 Bicyclists need a separation if possible from the roadways. I've seen cars ride in the bike lanes too often. Drivers are too careless in this state and that behavior is never addressed when there is an accident. If the driver wasn't impaired they let them go when carelessness and recklessness were the usual cause. 254 Separate bike paths are safer than along side the road, but are more expensive, they also provide the most enjoyment since the concern of being hit by a motorist is decreased. 255 none 256 #1 - Improve maintenance of shoulders (for use by bicyclists) on state highways: The state of highway shoulders that I see daily in SE Arizona is appalling! For example, coyote carcass deteriorating for >5 wks. Keeping these clear and safe seems the most cost-effective way for bicyclists to use what is already there, no? 257 Bicycles have no business on state highways or anywhere else where traffic exceeds 40 mph 258 The bicyclists are NOT following the laws. Stopping at stop signs etc. They are also not able to keep up with the flow of traffic and refuse to stay far enough over to allow safe passage by vehicles putting themselves and others in grave danger 259 None. 260 Keep the shoulder swept so the bikers can stay far right of the white line. Also sweep intersections, especially if the cross road is gravel. Often bikers cross under “red” lights because the sensors don’t “recognize” the biker as a vehicle.

QUESTION NO. 5 Do you agree or disagree with the ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update vision stated below?

Arizona will become a state where people of all ages and abilities can conveniently, comfortably, and safely walk or bicycle to destinations within a reasonable distance as part of their everyday life. The quality of life and health of Arizona residents will be improved as more people choose to walk or bike. A “Complete System” of new and enhanced bicycle and pedestrian facilities on and off of the State Highway System will make the trip safer, more pleasant, more convenient, more accessible, and with minimal barriers, enhancing the livability and economic vitality of cities and towns in rural and urban areas. A “Complete System” recognizes that transit users often begin or end their trip as pedestrians or bicyclists. Access to transit along state highways will be made safer and more comfortable. Bicycling and walking will be incorporated into State Highway design to meet the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit users of all abilities and ages at traffic interchanges, intersections, at traffic signals, and along the State Highway. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities such as underpasses/overpasses, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and paths and transit stops will clearly indicate the right of way or their accommodation on shared roadways. . Agree . Disagree . No opinion . What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)? Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

1 Don't make it harder than it needs to be. Add the steps that will ensure that highway planners will include bicycle/pedestrian facilities/access to the highway planning process. Include the requirements for same in RFPs to contractors for all future roads. 2 I had problems with all of the checked response areas. Put me down for everything is very important. I was only able to type a written response. Arizona is way behind the times. A lot of ignorant Motorists. I use a bicycle, the Bus system and Light rail weekly. Neither of which are monitored by security very well. 3 Require bike lanes on all new roads, and retrofit on existing roads where possible. Remove rumble strips from bike lanes. More signage to make cycling safe -- reminding cars to share the road, not drift into bike lanes, give cyclists 3 feet, not honk/be rude. 4 Bike lanes, signage, connectors 5 Better security against bike thieves at bike parking facilities, such as video surveillance. More tunnels/overpasses like the Indian Bend wash path. 6 start out as a small hip movement. with a day once a year or a month where people are encouraged to walk, take pub trans, and bike. come up with a clever name, and slogans regarding bicycling and walking more, as well as laws. have commercials on public local broadcast also use free merch given at events and other places (with slogans and such on them) given away. 7 The state is late and slow in doing this. It should have been done 20 years ago. So a concentrated effort is needed to catchup. 8 Nothing that time and money can't take care of! This kind of vision will only be realized when planning and zoning make this a priority. ADOT can help with the large backbone type of system, but the cities and counties set the tone for how this is realized on the small scale. 9 Drivers need to know that there will be more non-drivers sharing the roads & have a no-tolerance

law for road rage against cyclists & MUCH more significant consequences for driver-at-fault collisions. 10 Agree 100%. I bike and average of 4000 to 6000 mi per year. I ride with a number of other bikers who do the same. Let's take action! Let's make Arizona a bike friendly/safe state. 11 ADOT may need to raise revenue and I believe that in the Tucson region especially, voters would be willing to pay to accomplish this truly forward thinking goal. The usual idea of widening roads to accommodate more cars seems to only make for more grid-lock. Mass transit, bicycling, walking, anything but driving, should be made a top priority to preserve the scenic beauty of Arizona. 12 Ignore Republicans. 13 i think there definately needs to be more designated bike lanes...phoenix has the widest rides i have seen in a city. regular maintenance of bike ways....maybe more paved canals. 14 fight against citizens united. vilify exxonmobil. reform campaign financing, locally and nationally. 15 Communicate, get support from public, raise awarness and raise money 16 Bike lanes and shared paths. 17 Tell motorists that median lanes (between the yellow/orange lines) are only to be used for left turns, NOT AT ALL for merging into traffic!

Allow bicyclists to cross an intersection without stopping at a stop sign or at a red light as long as there is no cross traffic. 18 I agree totally with first paragraph. Bikes and pedestrians should not be included "on" the state highway system. They should be "off" the system. In most of Arizona shade along these paths would encourage more walking. Overpassses and underpasses (as long as they don't require pedestrians to walk an extra half mile on either side) are good. Sidewalks must be separated from streets and highways by a reasonable distance. Paths must not be obstructed by utility poles and other fixtures. 19 ADOT needs to be provided the resources to execute this plan. Without it, nothing will happen. 20 Spend the funding wisely on actual well thought out physical improvements and not on the surrounding it, or disconnected planning that needs workarounds or re-works. 21 Make it the most important priority. Too many resources are diverted to automobiles, which already have an ample infrastructure. Focus on safety of bicyclists, not just motorists, who are enclosed in several-ton vehicles. Make sure funds are allocated and workers available. Widening the bike lanes is a great start. Thanks for doing this! 22 Concentrate on dedicated bike infrastructure and awareness. Access the existing literature on what types of bike infrastructure are appropriate where. Collect quantitative and qualitative data on the use, enjoyment, and safety of existing bike infrastructure under a range of different traffic and environmental conditions. 23 Education programs; marketing the ideas to the public; 24 Consult with other cities that have this already in place! Portland, Oregon is an example. 25 Safe multi-use paths preferably separate from vehicles

Shade as much as possible 26 Form a citizen's advisory committee (if one doesn't already exist) to help guide and implement the vision. Begin ncorporating as many of these ideas as possible into ongoing maintenance and repair projects. Secure funding from many sources to begin working on these ideas as soon as feasible...Consider public-private partnerships. 27 Network with bicycle store owners. 28 Separate bike lanes are NOT the answer. Most bike - motor vehicles are at intersections, and not only to separate bike paths not eliminate this, but the make is so the cyclist "suddenly"

appears. I have been cycle-commuting for 27 years, and have had 3 incidents. ALL were caused by the vehicle trying to make an unsafe right turn. The answer is to make bicycles be and be viewed as co-equals on the roadway. This requires education, and correctly designed roads and intersections. 29 To get more people bicycling and walking the first issue to tackle is the safety for cyclists and pedestrians. The complaint I hear most often from people that stops them from using an alternative form of transport is the perception of safety. As someone who loves cycling I accept the risks associated with it largely from misinformed or disgruntled motorists but to a casual person this is not a risk they are willing to take. 30 Bicycle paths need to be separate from major roadways for safety purposes as well as to make the experience of riding more enjoyable. It is not pleasant to share the road with traffic - it's noisy, threatening, and hot. In addition, before investing additional funding into shared paths, consider that the weather for about half of each year is not conducive to riding/walking any distance. It is simply too hot and the sun is too intense. 31 Work on small incremental levels and eventually link to the big picture.

Sprawl is not condusive to destination riding, focus on smaller pockets and grow from there. 32 Work with city and town officials to identify all of the locations that need to be improved. Develop manageable strategic plans to implement the improvements based on the priorities of the jurisdiction. 33 Please do not forget about us in the rural areas, we need the "System" as well! 34 actually implement what is stated. lobby for legislation that creates laws that will support this vision (real consequences for motorists who hit bicyclists). create a road bike path that connects ahwatukee to the TV Tower Road on South Mountain! 35 It's a beautiful vision but in Arizona's current political climate I don't see how it's going to get funded. 36 connect or finish areas where sidewalks and bikes lanes are not yet complete causing transitions between sidewalk to street with no bike lanes. in surprise leading towards white tank park there are many areas like this which are unsafe as there is only high speed two lane sections of road. 37 Create comprehensive bike-friendly map. Address gaps in the map. Increase number of bike- stow slots on city buses (hang-a-bike like on light rail, but on the bus). 38 Utilize local help by city and county road departments, small tax on bikes sold in arizona 39 Needs to apply statewide. Not just Maricopa and Pima counties. 40 consult local cyclist, pedestrians, and runners about the flow of useage and traffic for the area. 41 Adopt a statewide Complete Streets policy; Develop a Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) curriculum for bicyclist/pedestrian/motorist enforcement both for new officers and continuing education – focus on laws related to pedestrians and bicyclists, interactions between motorists and bicyclists/pedestrians, and bicyclepedestrian collision investigation 42 eductae drivers that bicyclist help them and all of us to meet national polution targets, educate bicyclist to not be arogant, make sure taht there are bike lanes on major roads like chandler blvd in Ahwatukee, look for and publicize alterantive bike routes, encourage businesses to give biking stipends to employees to encourage more riders (bike riders are getting more exercise than drivers and should there by be healthier, thereby reducing sick days and insurance costs.) 43 Enlist the sponsorship/endorsement of major employers, and the sponsorship of diverse employers to encourage and support employees. Recognized employers and employees. Work with retired individuals and organizations to volunteer. 44 Improve and develop areas far away at a safe distance from the fwy and make it user friendly with lighting. 45 ADOT needs to better publicize the improvements that it is making and who is benefitting from the improvements.Signs at the beginning of construction zones could be used for this purpose.

46 Get drivers to share the road, educate cyclists on their responsibilty of riding on the shoulders obeying traffic laws. 47 Acquire sufficient funding! 48 As stated before, I believe the focus should be on where the highest use and highest problems are. E.g. I don't think we want a dedicated paved bike line along all state highways. (I assume that is not the plan). 49 The roads have nothing to do with biking or walking. For instance Baseline and I10 is crazy and there really isn't an easy way around without going through some of it. Sidewalks are put in for asthetic pruposes. I think the laws need to be changed to accomodate actual walkers and looks of the city. Try walking around or biking the roads are clearly made for motorists only. Doing this will show how messed up the city planners have been with granting building permits. 50 engage with local bike racing teams and bike associations 51 Add moe routes in the east valley that have a similar feel to the canal or powerine trails...separated from the main road to provide additional safety. 52 I don't see this ever happening. 53 Develop teams of people to work on this vision in each community. Make it a priority and support it with time and money. 54 Find the $$ to make enhancements to existing roads and highways and $$ for new projects. Enlist active participants to help shape the vision. Don't let this project become political fodder! 55 TO HECK WTIH THE "VISION" AND ALL THE OTHER CUTSEY PHRASES.....CITE THE RIDERS.....Bicycle riders ignore traffic laws. ADOT cannot enforce and DPS is far too busy as are local PD units - so there's no chance since the riders could care less! 56 Specifically, there needs to be a strong emphasis for off highways paths, like within cities, along canals, on lessor traveled roads, etc. 57 Education to get buy in. Also, some motorist do not feel funds should be spent on these amenities since bicyclist and pedestrians do not buy gas and therefore do not participate in funding the bike paths etc. Education is necessary to combat this narrow mindedness. People need to see the health advantages. 58 I disagree that off highway facilities are important. Highways are where all the destinations are. All facilities and all parts of roads should be shared. Cyclists should be integrated, not partly separated. 59 Be consistent when constructing the accommodations by allowing workers to use proper lighting at night and provide employees around the clock. 24 hours of work done within 24 hours instead of in 3 days. construction zones need to have work done quickly. 60 public education , and involvment in the inplimentation , and maintainence of our shaired travelways similar to adopt a highway program. also implmitation of other cultures sucessful travelways plans. 61 A lot 62 Convince funding sources that bike/ped facilities are and effective and an efficient use of dollars, coordination with transit/local municipalities to team up and leverage effort -- avoid double work, and piece together complete routes. Advocate in public for changed perception of ped/bike/transit through education and advertising. Make it a "cool" and cost/time efficient option. 63 get to work on it, no stalling and talking, government is all talk and no action!!! will this ever go to fruition???? 64 This is a good vision statement - could be clearer if a time line were added (five years?). Like all vision statements, it needs to be followed with a clear, shared strategic plan with input from the community. 65 Get started. 66 Encourage public transportation systems to add bike racks to busses to encourage bicyclists to use both methods.

Connect the dots showing that exercise supported by the BikePed plan can eventually reduce state healthcare costs by promoting healthier citizens. 67 cut back on auto/truck spending to get funding for bikes! 68 Interface directly with local, responsible bicycling groups (e.g., Flagstaff Biking Organization, etc.) 69 FIND MONEY! As mentioned before nothing can be done without access to funds, but the source can come from any or multiple sources (legislation, volunteers, sponsors, donations, etc.). 70 mix-use transit... golf carts in Sun City for example... energy effient modes of transit. 71 Learn what "pedestrian and bike friendly" really entails. This is the least "bike/pedistrian friendly state in which I have lived. There is NO effort to promote awareness and laws that protect those groups. I do not see that changing with primary focus on movement of vehicles but thanks for asking. I came here from Portland and if you have found a way to placate you belief that you are "bike/pedistrian" friendly...blessing on your head.....however the reality is that this state is not such. 72 Words are not good enough. Action is required. In Sedona, we now have bicycle friendly signs, but no action. We have been promised bike lanes on 89A for many many years, but nothing was (will be?) ever done. The mayor riding a few miles is a nice gesture, but not good enough! 73 Make it happen, talk is cheap-actions speak loudly...... we get enough empty promises from politicians all year long 74 If you have not noticed we are broke and you are looking for more ways to spend money. I have been watching the bicycle underpass being built on Olive just west of the 101, you know what I have NEVER seen there, a bicycle. The only bicycles I see are morons riding on two lane roads and risking their lives and mine when motorists come over into my oncoming lane to go around the morons on the bikes.

Get them off roads without enough room and on to your unused trails. 75 Wow. Pretty good. I would like to see some addition of off-hiway cross-state bicycle/pedestrian system conecting cities. 76 Proper funding and effective leadership. 77 Few talked about The Loop when it was mostly segments. Many talk about it now that it is continuous. Perhaps connecting up segments in high population areas is more important than the total number of miles of segments. The more people who can use the system and have a good experience (safe, well-marked routes starting from near where they live to places they want to go) the more good word of mouth paths will get. 78 Many people in Arizona believe their gas powered vehicle is the only way to travel . Also, there is a financial burden that goes with this "greening" effort that several groups in this state and others believe is not worthwhile.

Tucson ranks in the top 10 bicycle friendly cities in the U.S.

ADOT should look at what makes Tucson bike friendly along with other top ten bike friendly cities/states and expand on those ideas. 79 Find funding, continue education the public and work with other government agencies. 80 bike and walking paths with proper signing and crossings. 81 Hopefully, get many to agree and participate in this goal. Good luck! 82 Stop talking about it, stop surveying about it, and just go do it. Get 'er done boys...

83 Divert a more significant proportion of funds away from development of roads for automobile use toward development of bicycle and pedestrian pathways. 84 Look at the areas that are currently served by the urban trail or bike lanes and fill in the gaps, include Kachina and Mountainaire! 85 I've been involved with bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements in Flagstaff, off and on, for over 25 years. Progress is slow but steady. Just keep chipping away at it.

Here's a thought... tell all the rednecks that using less foreign oil is PATRIOTIC. Git out there and Walk and Pedal for the Red, White & Blue! 86 Sounds awesome! We would love it and use it. Get on with it already! 87 Willingness to allow sacrifice convenience for safety, not just as a separate "bike ped" program, but a core component of every division and aspect of the department. 88 Id love to see more bike lanes on regularly used streets. As well as seeing motorist respect the biking community and local police reenforcing the law on motorist/cyclist to ensure safety all around. I feel it would be helpful if the city taught safe riding classes that retaught cyclist the proper rules for riding on streets and how not to break the law themselves this would perhaps improve motorist/cyclist understanding/respect and sharing of the roads. 89 Make it a priority! 90 Reasonable distance? Urban commuters tend to drop off after 6 miles. Improving conditions around cores will provide the environment that influences people's decisions. Shading the corridor and protecting PEOPLE from CARS will help overcome perceived safety. INVEST IN DESIGNING DESIRABLE EXPERIENCES! Engineers are NOT designers as evidenced by the horrific drainage solutions scarring overpass art. Bring in landscape architects and artists and respect their talents. 91 Persistant annd continued public education. 92 Money, education, and support. Tie in the states big businesses. It is in their best interest to have healthy employees. Implement sucessful projects from other cities or states. 93 Drivers,cyclists and pedestrians need be know the rules of the road. Many cyclists still ride against traffic-- the question is why ? I do not think they are aware of the rule - that they are a vehicle. Many drivers think the law ststes cyclist must yield at all times to cars- why ? They are not aware of the rules of the road. A simple public service campaign - could educate folks. 94 Raise money, If you make it safer and let poeple know its safer they will do it. 95 Get schools and colleges (read young people) involved in the process of planning and executing. 96 Somehow get a law passed that mandates the goals. 97 Research and apply workable procedures that have successfully been ironed out in other communities. Flagstaff and San Diego are prime examples. 98 Funding sources. Educate transportation engineers that multi-modal is important and a part of transportation; it's not just about vehicular traffic. 99 Improve communication and awareness of ADOT's plans. Work closely with other community groups like the Tucson-Pima County Bike Advisory Committee (TPCBAC), Greater Arizona Bike Association (GABA), Tucson and Phoenix Bike and Pedestrian Coordinators and others to create a unified focus on improving bike and pedestrian access throughout Arizona. ADOT's vision is very much in line with the above mentioned groups. I do not believe that the general public knows of ADOT's vision. 100 dedicate portion of each project's funding to these components; assist communities in mapping key locations for investment; examine models from Europe, from California, etc. where bikes and pedestrian trips already constitute major fraction of all trips 101 Posting signs showing bike lanes along areas where there is room for the bike lane, as well as adding or widening shoulders to make bike lanes are some of the first steps. Bike racks on transit buses should be made universal, or on all public transport of that type.

102 Educate the public to the need for exercise and the rights of pedestrians and cyclists. 103 fight for funding and create a campaign to encourage folks to use alternate transportation. Also be an example and publicize your success among your own staff. 104 Partner with the state's largest companies and employers to promote car-pooling and offer incentives

(financial are best!) to adopt alternative modes of transportation. ADOT needs to reinvent its image from a car-centric state agency. Promote their new agenda by publicizing new facilities that they install....over and underpasses, ped-activated crossing zones, reduced speed limits and more shared roadways, off-street bike and ped paths. 105 Make the public aware of these intentions and then get started! 106 Promote these initiatives to gain political support, propose specific plans, demand and find funding, demand incentivized construction that will insure projects are completed on time. 107 Enforce all ADOT districts to provide adequate, construction and maintenance, bicycle facilities. 108 Just do it! 109 Provide shaded areas for waiting for transit, provide shared use roads that are safe and connect popular destinations and plant fast growing treess along routes to provide releif from the sun 110 Love the Vision Statement - MAKE IT HAPPEN, PLEASE! 111 You need to find a way to tax every Arizona resident, and EVERY person residing (such as snow birds, illegal immigrants, etc) in Arizona on some article they need to purchase. Divert funds from another source. Ticket and fine abusive / threatening drivers, then use those funds. 112 If the South Mountain 202 gets built, please be sure to incorporate a bike lane separate from the roadway. 113 see prior comments 114 More funding needs to be allocated to ADOT whether through public or private means. 115 See previous...... 116 Raise a lot of money. 117 Main reason I don't walk more is convenience/safety. It's scary to cross Ft. Valley, I have almost been hit crossing side sts of Humphreys, Milton is just plain ugly & scary. I have seen visitors on Milton & feel sorry for them. I assume they think poorly of Flagstaff after they have walked from their hotel to restaurant. So to help this vision a lot of money will be needed to create a more appealing atmosphere for pedestrians/ bicyclists to get overpasses, paths, crosswalks, etc. where needed. 118 How does one get favorable press? There are some drivers who despise bike riders (one really cursed me out just for using the street that, as he said, his tax dollars had paid for. There are some people out there who intensely dislike bike riders. Stopped at a light, a driver yelled at me: "I used to ride a bike, but I grew out of it." Hmmm. 119 Don't give up. Don't give in. 120 This sounds like a very noble and worthy endeavor and I know many folks who would embrace it whole-heartedly. It will require a good deal of work, money, education; and on the backside, a fair evaluation of the costs/benefits of this people/environmentally healthy transportation vs the incredible environmental/ personal health/ social/ world stability costs of dependence on cars. My greatest good luck to this vision! 121 Funding to realize these goals, commitment and dedicated advocates of livable communities like me. 122 It will require substantial "buy-in" from the many diverse communities in Arizona -- who can then suggest to the State Legislature that this is a desired vision. 123 I think that the bike/pedestrian paths on highways should be separated by a barrier for more

safety. 124 research, money, get the word out, execute, maintain 125 Funding, driver education, develop bike lanes. 126 Don't waste any money on this stupid project. 127 Procure the proper funding from the legislature and procure the backing of the voters. If a referendum is added to the ballot and voters allocate funds for this, then it can become a reality. 128 Work with bicycle organizations on the details, and of course obtain the required funding. 129 Stop the study the flowery reterric and simply start doing with all future road improvements around cities and towns. 130 Help to encourage enforcement of stricter penalties when motorists kill cyclists. See http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2012/04/amy_alexander_scottsdale_suv_d.php 131 greater safety will bring greater use 132 It is going to take a long time. Education is a big part of it. In the long run it will increase the quality of life in Arizona. If more people knew how really easy it is to start and work up to the ability to cycle to commute, more would do it. I see a lot of people saying they can't without evever trying. Education about the benefits to health, environment and considerable cost savings should improve understanding of the vision. For a vision to be understood, it needs to be communicated. 133 This vision requires tax money, so we need to stop electing right wingers. When good planning is implemented well, non-cyclists will support these changes, too. They will be less inconvenienced than presently. As cycling becomes more practicable, the number of cyclists will increase while (we hope) non-cyclists will decrease. ADOT must coordinate with municipalities in planning for bicycle transportation so that the transition from city bike lanes to state bike lanes is a smooth one. 134 Just do it 135 Educate cyclists and motorists on the law and the generral public on the impact cycling and walking has on the environment, their fitness and thier wallet, let alone the fun! 136 Encourage people to live near where they work.

Make bikelanes easy to access. 137 1) well marked paths and green box intersections 2) sensing technology 3) transit access further north into Scottsdale, PV, Fntn hills; 4) maintain existing infrastructure 5)more well marked paths and green box intersections; This plan is quite well written. A needed, ambitious approach. 138 Bicycling and walking is great but please don't force people away from or restrict them on their choice of motorized transportaion if that is what they choose. Sometimes it just isn't practical the bike or walk for most of the day's tasks. 139 Make bicycle infrastructure a priority. Build around it (physically and metaphorically) to enhance economic gain. 140 Implement it! 141 sounds like fluff. integrate walking/biking with mass transit. 142 With the economy being what it is, any improvements will be difficult. 143 Stop installing lights and focus on genuine safety features. 144 Keep up the good work! Persist ever closer (even if it is slow-going) to a connected transportation system with safe and convenient options for all road users to choose not to drive. 145 Public support, education, and analysis of the current state of pedestrian/bicycle transportation systems. 146 Get people excited about it through ad campaigns, create the jobs to create the bike/walk trails, organize volunteers to complete some of the work. 147 Town hall meetings.

148 Maps that show the connectivity of bike lanes to transit routes. Under and over passes are great for cyclists and walkers. Include safety information about biking or walking in the heat. Maybe include shaded seating along the bicycle and walking routes. 149 I odnt see the commitment yet. 150 Start with education of public 151 Go back to the "Olden Days" and do away with tons of money-wasting studies and just do it!!! 152 Identify best routes and implement said plan. People will make use of the infrastructure. It encourages healthy activity and makes it possible to either recreate or commute where otherwise impossible. It is an attraction for the state for visitors, benefit to residents and will decrease health issues in the long term. 153 start now....so many cyclists out there who want to continue and spread the word. bikes are becoming more prevelant...let's keep the movement growing. tax money well spent, so much is wasted use it for something that is good for economy, environment, and community. 154 I agree with the above as long as a fee to help off set the cost of development. 155 How about a change of legislators? 156 All new roads should include bike lanes. 157 Continue to engage the public with requests for information, and including known bicyclist and pedestrian safety advocates on any planning committees. Work with sports, bicycling, triathlon, walking, running, and leisure-sport private enterprises to help publish information, and work with those same enterprises to find creative funding, marketing, and feedback mechanisms to continue these improvements. 158 I don't think adot should take in to consideration putting bikes on HWYS, maybe for the other reasons mentioned and keep the "bike" lingo to the city and sourrounding areas that people can actually ride from. Add bike paths. Connect paths please. 159 Increase the paths/shoulders to make them bikable, safe, and enjoyable. Provide intermittent water stations or rest areas for use by pedestrians and cyclists. 160 Actually fund the bike program 161 Inner cities need attention too, not just the highways. 162 Is it a viable transportation idea. If so the general public should help fund the project. Either through money or volunteer work. Community service etc. 163 I like the vision, but realize it is a gradual process. I have been biking at work and bike on bus to work in Phoenix since 1993, but I am afraid of doing this on state highways. I like sidewalks, and would need something as safe on state high ways. 164 Actually implement it! 165 Meetings and public discussion with legistatorrs and people who use these accommodations. 166 This is an amazing vision! I'd guess that ADOT will need to overcome opposition from conservative members of government and the public who feel that driving a big pickup truck (etc.) at a high speed should be the supported mode of transportation. 167 educate legislators, local politicians and law enforcement. 168 Infastructure (i.e. complete streets) + education 169 First...... setup your online survey correctly so we can use it.....it is inactive!!! 170 Obtain funding and support from the state. It is a GREAT idea, long OVER DUE! 171 funding and priority. 172 Ensure long term, sustainable plan, is in place to realistically accommodate continual timeline with the intent to show open end progress rather than timed/paced improvement. Be flexible but progress when at all possible. Do not re-write goals based on funding. Adjust accordingly but be transparent to public so we fully understand plan is still valid, timeline isn't... 173 Start small and keep going.

174 You already follow federal and state compliance. Most SR speed limits prevent mixing ped and vehicle due to speed. Either lower the speed of curb ROW to allow closer proximity to the roadway. Vehicle drivers are not always the most accommodating. Walking and pushing a stroller next to a 45+ speed limit can be hazardous. I do not believe you will ever find balance with mission until their are separated grade paths. 175 I just don't agree with having pedestrians and bicyclists on our VERY dangerous highways....period!!! 176 Please review previous responses survey... 177 Publicize and promote biking. Encourage biking by reporting on successes, the number of commuters, the safety record of bikers, etc 178 Need more bike paths and especially dedicated trails/paths. Personally would not ride a bike on a highway due to safety concerns. A segregated path following a highway would be great. 179 How about Rails to Trails & other separate paths away from highways for safety. 180 Add more bike lanes. Increase width of bike lanes to at least 4 feet. Increase the pentalty to the driver when involved in an accident with a cyclist. 181 make it happen. enough talk. 182 Sounds like we are stuck with it whether ADOT can afford it or not. 183 I don't think having bikes on our major state highways is a good idea. Traffic is bad enough as it is - adding bikes to the deal is not a good idea! 184 Funding for bikeways and roadways. 185 This plan sounds excellent. 186 Prioritize some funding, otherwise it is just talk. 187 PSA's, education via billboard use. 188 Start a statewide "What kind of world do you want to provide for those you care about?" campaign and/or a "what kind of world do you want to live in for the next 10-15 years?" campaign a 189 (I would add "buffered bike lanes" and "cycle tracks" to the last part of that statement.)

ADOT should adopt a "Complete Streets" policy to ensure that biking/walking is built into every project. 190 Start obtaining grant money from bicycle safety organizations, the Fed, and other sources friendly to bicycle and pedestrian safety issues. Maybe we should tap into the State Lottery money. No matter how you approach the issue, you are going to need money. I would also look at changing some of Arizona's laws regarding bicycles and encourage enforcement of existing laws. Most police officers don't spend any time enforcing movement laws against bicyclists. 191 More funding dedicated to more bike/ped facilities. Make including bike/ped facilities the default requirement in new or repaved roads. 192 "Paved Multi-Use Paths". And then interconnect them. Dedicated cyclists are pretty happy with bike lanes, but most people aren't willing to be on a bike along a 45mph road where people are doing 55mph, especially with endemic texting while driving. The Rails to Trails program in Minneapolis is an example of successfully adding a comprehensive, safe bicycle network to a city. Separate, dedicated infrastructure is the only way to accomplish this goal, as stated. 193 Provide connectivity to the existing and planned trails, paths, etc in city, county, community plans. 194 The vision statement looks pretty good to me. I love the layout of the system in Sierra Vista, although this is not an ADOT system, because it provides lots of space and ease of use. I have lived where paths shared by bicyclists and pedestrians were so narrow that multiple usage was unsafe.

195 I am really happy to be living in a State that values bicycle and pedestrian safety and accessibility.

Thank you!! 196 Get the legislature to provide appropriate funding. Good luck! 197 This type of vision must be learned. Programs at elementary schools ( good place to set foundation learning) will be supported only when parents are on board. Driving this education with perks/prizes partnered with corporations and chamber of commerces can help adults own this vision. 198 Communities have traffic plans to get traffic (cars) in and out of high commute areas. Those need to include bike/walk plans. Providing a small shoulder on the side of a heavily traveled highway or road is not a safe commute for bikes or pedestrians. (Example: I can drive on Grand Ave all the way from Surprise to Phoenix, yet no bike path and plenty of room for one). 199 $$$ and education 200 1. Commit the funds.

2. Train law enforcement to enforce existing statues.

3. Change the culture in law enforcement to give bikers and pedestrians respect equal to motorists. this is not currently the case.

4. Continue programs to educate the public about laws relating to bike and pedestrian safety. I commonly see people using all forms of transportation violate existing statutes when doing so makes things less safe for everyone. 201 If facilities are available people will use them, need to get the bike retailers, small and large, to promote the the program - they will sell more bikes and accessories.

promote the health benefits of biking 202 miles and miles and miles of bike lanes please!!! 203 Make sure that when costs are being trimmed in proposed projects, these aspects are preserved! Often it seems that they're the first on the chopping block, unfortunately 204 You must enlist the cites, towns and counties in the vision. 205 The experience of biking can be ruined by being too close to highways, Red lites completely kill training efect. 206 I'm not sure how to accomplish it, but I sure am in support of the vision! 207 When roads are all rubberized, highways are maintained and divided highways are throughout the system, then monies should be allocated for the complete system! 208 Make the commitment instead of doing surveys. 209 Educate AZ citizens on the laws of sharing the road...what is the adequate distance when passing, who has the right of way, etc. Make them take notice by closing roads/highways for events that promote awareness. 210 Noticed the Vision is not limited to 500 chars. Interesting. Answer: get organized and drive it through. Get some funding behind it. Our out-of-touch politicians seem to respond to projects when big money is pledged project-specific . They are all money Chameleons when it comes to project support. It can be done. 211 Separate the biker.pedestrians from highway traffic so they will feel safer. 212 keep bicycles off the highway system

213 Agreement can be taken out of context. Your questions leave open the possibility of miss-use of these survey answers. Specifically, too often the phrase "providing/improving bicycle facilities, lanes or shared paths" really means in the minds of misguided highway engineers an opportunity to get bicycles off the roads by taking away their rights to use public roads and highways. 214 It's a lofty goal that you might get close to with huge funding, but patience has produced many winners. 215 I read recently that AZ was one of the most bicycle friendly states. Way to go. 216 Make is a priority as high as your focus on motor vehicles. 217 Start by requiring all upgrades of highways, like the 260 highway east of Payson to have safety features, signage, and wide shoulders and promote these new highways as recreation cycling areas. 218 More see cycling rides for eco-tourism to offset costs.

For example - Scottsdale to Payson to Clints Well to Mormon Lake to Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Village to Cameron to Marble Canyon to Jacobs Lake to the North Rim.

This route would make AZ a cycling destination on par with Europe.

State with AZ 180 from Flagstaff to the South Rim 219 there are plenty of bike paths in the phoenix and tuscon areas. unfortunately that is where you will spend 90%+ of the $$$. it would be nice to see some EFFECTIVE use here in Kingman and other rural areas. 220 Incorporate the vision from day one when new construction or repairs are planned. Maintain a website that centralizes ideas, information and input. Make it easy to navigate and keep it up to date. Alternate routes during construction, events, and rules of the road are a few of the things it should have. Get the people involved - bike shops, walking/cycling groups... Adopt a path/adopt a highway. 221 Infrastructure and Education! 222 Achieve buy-in from ADOT management and District Engineers. 223 None of this succeeds if they facilities are not maitained and kept clean of debris. 224 START LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VISION! THIS ONE WON'T WORK FOR RURAL ARES, WHICH MOST OF ARIZONA! FIRST YOU NEED TO PUT A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR ALL OF RURAL ARIZONA BEFORE YOU PROVIDE WALKWAYS! DON'T PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE! 225 All of the previous recommendations, and allow for a lot of public meetings and public input into the "Complete System" 226 Nice idea but will only work in cities where things are geographically close together. The only reason to ride a bike in the rural areas is for exercise or recreation and then it is too dangerous. 227 Encourage the public to do their part by using infrastructure built by ADOT, to improve their own health, reduce congestion, and reduce pollution. 228 A strong awareness campaign with focus on "putting the word out" with an emphasis on safety issues. 229 Build a membership base of users at all ages. Let the biking demographic emerge! 230 I would note that many people also want to bike 'unreasonable' distances hahaha. State routes connect cities, like Tucson->Phoenix and Phoenix to Flagstaff or Sedona. These are great routes for cyclist that would equally benefit from improved facilities (i.e. shoulder / bike lane) 231 As mentioned before, throwing strong support behind the other public and private groups that are working towards similar goals - BICAS, the Bicycle Advisory Committe, Living Streets Alliance, etc, could be very helpful. 232 Dedicate funds to do this even if that takes funds away from roads. Have the media show more

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

commuters who happily walk or ride their bikes to work and do errands. 233 User tax and create our own routes get us off state highways 234 Use lotto funds, offer a license plate for bikers/walkers, charge a fee/tax in the licensing or registration of vehicles. 235 Some areas need bridges for bikes/pedestrians/wildlife. My idea is to change zoning. Allow for local "bars" that serve drinks and simple food, with NO vehicle PARKING, within neighborhoods. You have to WALK to go to dinner and have a beer or two. Zone areas for bakeries and these small kneipes. People will get out to walk to these destinations. Put grocery stores next to neighborhoods, not in major shopping areas. Again, look to Europe. They have crap for weather but they get it right. 236 Less talk and more action. Lots of words that took lots of time to get on paper. It is TOOOO long! Who is gong to read it and understand it after. Make is simple we want to ride bikes on state highways. 237 Educate motorists about providing sufficient room for bicyclists and pedestrians. 238 This sounds great but expensive. In light of the lack of significant new funding on the federal horizon, this vision would probably require a combination either new taxes (sales tax, gasoline tax?) and reallocation from other parts of the ADOT budget. Once constructed, bicycle/pedestrian facilities are relatively inexpensive to maintain. 239 Allocate a specific revenue stream to implementation of the vision. 240 ADOT will probably have to convince conservatives that it's a good idea.

Try to look at other places to see how they have done it and implement their ideas. Good places to look is European countries; Denmark has extensive pedestrian and bicyclist transit, just as an example. I used to bike from my house in Copenhagen to my dads house in Holte, which was about 11 miles. I rode next to the freeway/highway the whole way. 241 Don't forget the Golf Carts 242 Require any future plan of roads to include considerations for pedestrians and bicyclists. 243 get some government funding and start building and educating the public. 244 Start today! 245 Start today! Get the cycling community behind you. Contact the clubs, the PBAA, etc.and connect these folks with the tourism offices around the state. You all could make us stand out as a Platinum level state which I believe will be a sound investment. 246 ADOT needs to make safe routes that are divided from the roadway. Motorists do not respect cyclists of freeways and it is currently very dangerous. There are also debris that need to be cleared. Keeping cyclists and pedestrians separate from cars is the key to safety. 247 Work hard on it and don't let the naysayers who think cyclists don't pay their fair share get the upper hand. We do pay for roads, most all of us have a car too. I for one would like less cars on the road and more bikes for many reasons. 248 Building more and more bike paths will be the key. If a person feels they can bike the majority of the trip on a bike path, they will be more willing to bike on streets for short periods to link those bike paths together. 249 This is a beginning start. Follow the logical suggestions provided by this survey. Anyone completing this survey is interested and trying to help. A lot needs to be done. 250 Start with children and their parents. Bike racks at school are empty because parents can see that it isn't safe for their child to ride to school. Start a program with parent/bike volunteers. Teach parents (many of whom are the very distracted drivers that threaten bicyclist (unintentionally) to drive with attention 251 Wow, this is a tall order. Keep partnering with bike groups. Make sure ADOT leaders are in favor of this vision, and represent it well at state gov't level so that funding is maintained. Work with

bike groups and tourist bureaus to try and determine $$ vlaue of good bike trails for non- residents, or even to determine if good trails attract the kinds of employees needed by AZ industry. 252 I think ADOT needs to contact bicycle clubs and state organizations such as ABRA and MBAA. I volunteer my time to maintain and build trails at several state parks. However, we are a small percent of the bicycle riders/community. More bicycle riders, clubs and state organizations need to be involved. 253 Do what I just suggested. 254 I could not enter my responses into your program. It needs to be revised so that responses entered stay in the boxes entered. 255 More equitable funding (make budget reflect % of users who take trips by walking or biking). Coordinate with other agencies to ensure continuous facilities and easy transition when facilities cross jurisdictional boundaries, require bikes and peds to be considered on any new project or renovation/overhaul of existing facilities, improve signage and wayfinding. 256 That is a lofty goal! Arizona would need to become a "blue state" for this vision to even become remotely feasible, and I don't see that happening. 257 Aggressively pursue this plan by bringing health and eco/environmental groups on-board to assist in the push. Press members of planning team to use these forms of transportation regularly throughout the state (maybe incentives for number of days riding/walking to work, etc). 258 I hear it but I don't see it. I've, been bike commuting for 40 years. There are significantly more bike lanes than ever before BUT they all have the same flaw THEY JUST END 200 feet or more before the intersection. Also, separate the bike paths/lanes from the ones for walking. If you significantly increase walking and biking traffic you will create congestion. This will make it too crowded for cyclists to use the lanes/paths, 259 It needs the support of those folks using the roads as pedestrians and cyclists. I can tell the group is growing, it needs to be mobilized. I believe many of those folks would volunteer their time to assist. 260 Please continue to forge ahead. No significant change in public behavior comes easily. 261 Start adding those bike lanes as soon as possible! 262 Not sure what I think of this. It's a good vision, but the reality is, people live so far away from work and shopping, and it's so hot during the summer, that I don't think cycling and walking is reasonable for most daily activities. And an ADOT plan isn't going to impact that very much. Still, better facilities would be awesome. 263 Please remove this in the first paragraph: "...within a reasonable distance..." My reasonable distance is much farther than many people. And as people start to ride their idea of a reasonable distance gets longer. In addition, that is vague and a hedge against expansion of providing all the things you're supposedly advocating for. Please remove that phrase. 264 Many motorists don't agree that cyclists deserve to share the road, despite the fact that we all pay taxes to build the same roads. Many of our roads are safe for travel unless an inattentive or angry motorist decides otherwise. Education of cyclists rights and stiffer penalties for those who violate those rights needs to be a primary piece of this vision. 265 Keep up the effort and continue looking forward. 266 Again, be serious about making this a priority and carry through to implementation. I would hate to see a plan that sits on a shelf that never gets implemented. I am thrilled at the above statement and hope it receives real funding support. 267 do it! 268 Focus on making our streets safer for bike riding. This includes bike lanes, street lighting, signs. 269 Build and maintain the facilities. People will come out in droves to use them. 270 You're aiming too high. You first need to find out what people's preferences are then aim a little higher. 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 165 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

271 Complete the sidewalks. I can't bike anywhere in my neighborhood because the sidewalks cut off abruptly. This is a huge hazard at night. 272 Must continue to add bike lanes and must keep all bike lanes clear of debris, etc. so they can be used. 273 Create a pedestrian/bike path that is interconnected throughout the valley. We have the perfect climate for it with a myriad of athletes that live in the valley. 274 Communicate and gain feedback from motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists to find out their experiences that could cause dangerous or confusing situations when these pathway users are sharing the road/path. Engineer innovative, clear and effective right of ways at intersections. Increase the width of bike lanes. 275 Southern California has some very nice bike paths and wide lanes along the sides of roads. One especially useful effort would be to clean debris off of bike paths. We quite like riding the Usery pass loop along the Salt River. However, there is sometimes debris in the bike path area causing flat hazards.

Thanks for your efforts. 276 Cyclists & walkers need to be able to cross roads. Many intersections are so wide that it's impossible for people with limited mobility to cross safely. Making roads more friendly to walking & cycling instead of traffic would help get people out of their cars because it becomes more convenient NOT to drive. Consider closing an entire lane on major roads to nothing but bikers & walkers, add shaded water stops at reasonable distances, & more people would be willing to step out of their cars. 277 cyclists and pedestrians have just as much right as anyone else therefore if there are more possibilites for them I can see how this can become a reality. 278 Allocate significant funding to improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities and access. Incorporate these ideals in every project. 279 A lot will need to be done to ensure safety & to carry that over to pedestrians & bikers so that they will utilize the system. 280 Get busy. 281 We need to educate drivers to look for pedestrians and bicyclists at all danger areas. And please have the law enforcement agents/police do their job, backed up by the court system to reinforce the law. Nobody gets to run over a walker or biker and get away with a slap on the wrist. 282 A lot. I have cycled in 15 states and AZ has been the most unpleasant. Phoenix, for a young city, is NOT cyclist friendly. Even Flagstaff, a "progressive" town, is not particularly receptive to cyclists. Motorists are not friendly to the cycling community, infrastructure is lacking, cycling is not promoted by organizations/government. Roads are in terrible condition. Learn from Vancouver, Portland, Madison, etc. 283 Develop a comprehensive plan but implement in an incremental way to gain support and not waste money on things that turn out not to work. 284 Plenty of people already commute by bicycle, and many more would if the routes were guaranteed to be safe. Bike only routes, or shared use routes w/massive safety improvements= increased usage.For research: Contact:local riding groups, medium to large businesses (commuters), on the spot commuter traffic studies .Large, long corridors for cyclists - we need safe routes for the long hauls. Smaller streets = navigate to the final destination. 285 I think this is all window dressing. A grand plan to talk about for the next 20 years. 286 1 - Seek public input on design, 2 - then seek public input on design options after you get public input, especially from bike riders, 3 - seek grant funding to assist with construction costs. 287 Let's provide a survey that works when we try to click - right now, nothing happens. 288 Get on the ball ! 289 We need to appropriate a dedicated funding source for this project and get public/community buy-

in to support it. 290 Execute your vision! Don't compromise safety/health and also seek funding from the Department of Health and Human Services because you are encouraging an active lifestyle that can curb things like obesity and diabetes. 291 We need to ADOT to help engage the state lawmakers to make the penalty for injuring/killing peds/cyclists more severe. A simple monatary fine is meaningless. We need to work to stop distracted driving and people need to lose their driving privs if they injure/kill people. 292 Involve communities in all aspect of planning and feedback. Picture Rocks would be one community who would be very involved and encouarage all residents to consider biking and walking if it was safer to do so. Connect with people who have to bike or walk to get ideas on how to improve things. Ask more people why they do not bike or walk to address concerns that are not being met. 293 I agree with the exception to the bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Im not sure what exactly that is but it sounds like a structure for bicyclists and pedestrians which I don't believe is necessary. I believe a large amount of cross valley bike lanes and pedestrian lanes would be a benefit to the people. 294 be serious about it, not just print words. have ADOT personnel visit communities that want bikers and walkers and see what they need. and followup, followup and followup to see if your plans and help is working. 295 Please define "reasonable distance" I would like to bike to work 18 miles every day, some would not consider this reasonable, however I do and am willing to do so if there was a safe route. unfortunately there is not. Please visit a city like Seattle that literally has hundreds of miles of cycling/pedestrian path completely off the roadways and where there is no path there is defined bike lanes for safe travel. 296 create the infrastructure. have more buses/light rail system equipped to transport bikes for commuters who have the need. 297 Work with groups that work with communities to encourage cyclists and pedestrians, use NGOs effectively. The communities (cycling, etc.) will best know how resources should be allocated. Encourage the state to understand that the cost of infrastucture for cars is far greater than the infastructure for pedestrians, mass transit, etc. Educate people to stop asking when mass transit systems will 'pay for themselves' and start asking when endless miles of asphalt for cars will pay for itself. 298 Recognize that bicycling is a multimillion dollar industry and explain that to the legislature. 299 The only way to make this a safe reality is to educate the public about sharing the road. The only way to make it safe for pedestrians and cyclists is to OUTLAW distracted driving including use of cell phones, GPS, etc. while vehicle is in motion. It would be helpful to also have steeper penalties for simple traffic laws like rolling through a stop sign or traffic light, not yielding to cyclists/cutting them off, and driving in bike lane. 300 Publish realistic "total cost to own and operate" for various types of vehicles, full-

size trucks, mini-vans, SUVs, motorcycles of various displacements, etc.

Contrast with the cost of using public transportation, bicycling and walking.

Include parking costs and transit time for various distances and modes. 301 See other comments. 302 More bike lanes and storage at public facilities/work locations.

Tax incentives for employees promoting bike usage

Banning cell phone and texting in cars 303 Establish a political power base by recruiting influential civic or popular leaders that embrace walking, hiking and bicycling to influence political subdivisions and their respective decision makers. I.e., pressure group tactics to make the state a better place to live. 304 Get help from bicycle clubs and advocacy groups. 305 Create awareness to the community along with improvements. 306 Add bike paths to the most traveled highways and streets. If people sitting in traffic jams could see me pedal right by them perhaps they would park their car and ride a bike as well. 307 Add wording specific to bicycle touring along scenic corridors and between communities. Update design standards, amend state law, obtain ongoing fundingt targeted for these improvements, improve coordination with bicycle and pedestrian organizations and lobby groups, actively prommote bicycle touring and commuter routes. 308 educate youth, include them in surveys such as this, do outreach to youth programs and schools 309 Start somewhere (a bike and pedestrain concentrated area such as Scottsdale, Tempe, nothern Glendale, parts of Tucson, etc) and show it works, then expand it. 310 This is a state where 9 months a year it is too hot to ride a bike. This is all a huge waste of money for just a few months of possible riding 311 ADOT needs to seek bipartisan support for such an endeavor. This is larger than a political issue, as it affects the health as well as economics for entire communities. 312 Do it, don't just say it. 313 Submit a comprehensive proposal to the State legislature, Cities, Counties, private industry and Federal Agencies citing the Vision's positive impacts on controlling health care costs while improving job creation and income levels 314 Widening rural bike lanes is important. 315 build bike lanes on every piece of new road including highways such as the planned expansion of the 202 over Pecos rd to connect to the east valley 316 JUST DO IT! If you build it, they will use it. 317 Just do it! 318 Convince taxpayers that this is a worthwhile investment. For bicyclists, pedestrians, and overall progressive people, this is an easy sell. What you will need to work on are the hardcore motorists that are uncomfortable for whatever reason with using bicycles and walking as a mode of transportation instead of a purely recreational activity. 319 Ensure that drivers realize that cyclists and pedestrians have a right to be on the road. We are getting hit and killed at an alarming rate, and it feels like cyclists are turning into moving targets for people out there driving while talking on the phone, texting or playing with their GPS. You will not get more people to walk and bike if there are no repercussions for distracted drivers who hit someone, and even kill them. 320 Keep it on a positive note and encourage others to join in. Health and Safety are concerns for all citizens.

My own take on a Slogan you might use for some PR

"We make the path Safer, so you can make it there Healthier! ADOT improving Bike and Pedestrian Pathways as per your request." ~ Donna L. Creamer 928-266-1373 321 Build the system

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

322 Educate those who choose to keep driving their cars/suvs/trucks. Merely indicating right of way doesn't do much. People pay more attention to their phones. Get the word out, educate. To get people out, and participating, they have to feel safe. Improve legislation to protect users cyclists and pedestrians. 323 I agree with the statement but ADOT has limited jusrisdiction. To really make an improvment we need to increase the number of (bike & pedestrian) paths (like the urban paths in Flagstaff). ADOT should partner with cities and SRP to take advantage of canals and other shared spaces where paths could be constructed. 324 This is excellent. The current system is excellent as well. What people fear are distracted motorists, which are still a problem even when using the designated bike lanes. The above statement, along with actions taken to increase driver awareness (or punish the offenders more severely) would be great. Phoenix has an amazing bike lane system throughout the city-- probably the best anywhere. Phoenix also has a terrifying amount of distracted/inconsiderate drivers. 325 If ADOT's general plan focuses on the movement of people in all the various forms and goods, then bicycle and pedestrian accommodations will have an equal seat at the table, because they are all equally important to the people who choose other than an auto to move. To not have bicycle and pedestrian options as part of the big picture on par with auto traffic, you are kidding yourselves into thinking you will make this vision a reality with any authenticity. 326 Commit in full to executing this! The amount of additional funding necessary to doing this is relatively inconsequential in the broader transportation budget...striping a bike lane and adding a couple of feet of asphalt is not much $ relatively, for example. 327 Probably will have to grapple with a broken state legislature in order to get funding, but i'm not certain how that works. Sounds like a great plan and I hope there will be volunteer opportunites available. 328 enforce prosecution of drivers who injure/maim/kill bikers/peds. 329 Promote selected corridors for pedestrians and other selected corridors for bicyclists, such as from one state park to another or one county park to another, or from parks to enter the canal roads for both pedestrians and bicyclists. 330 It is not the right time to focus on this vision. Once our current roads are fixed with the money that was supposed to go to them then we can begin to look at improving other things. 331 Motivate, fund, educate, and implement in a short period of time. Don't take 5 or 10 years to do this or it will lose any traction and momentum you might have. Implementing quickly allows the results to be seen, monitored, and analyzed in a timely manner. If you drag it out, people (peds and cyclists) will get demotivated and not think you're really doing anything. 332 Most people do not have the luxury of living close enough to their place of employment to bike, or walk. We drive 10 to 30 minutes, one way, maybe more as an average to work. This is probably not going to change. Most walking or biking is strictly recreational. Pedestrian and bike paths are needed to keep both pedestrian and bikes off our already congested streets and highways! 333 add a tax to gas, encourage infill city development, reward businesses for moving to the downtown areas, encourage/require bike racks, in a dream world there'd be treelined paths, water fountains, an occasional restroom, supermarkets/entertainment within walking distance to homes, fewer parking facilities and lots, I could go on... 334 Support securing the border to Mexico, use money previously diverted for deportation and free healthcare to illegal immigrants and spend it on new pedestrian/biking facilities. 335 Design and implement a plan including accountability 336 Put their heart to it and concentrate on the wellbeing of these people who help us maintain a healthier lifestyle and a safer planet alltogether. 337 It will take funding and the passion of bike-ped enthusiasts to make this happen. ADOT must demonstrate that this vision is what's best for all Arizonans to get the car-only people to back it.

338 Obtain an actual "Public Commitment" from the State & Local Government, not just a survey.

A lot of highly educated people are cyclists, have two qualified cyclists (minimum) from each city comprise a state sponsored committee (try to make this a NON partisan group) to work with ADOT and State Government to review and consult on Routes, Improvements, and MOST IMPORTANT, State and Local Laws before they are passed or implemented. 339 Stick to their plan and make every stride in that direction for the greatest possible outcome. 340 Add facilities and improve existing ones and vigorously publicize the enhancements; it would help if a government leader such as the governor or state legislators led by example and used, or at least tried once, enhanced bicycle and pedestrian facilities 341 Build shoulders on as many roads as possible. 342 Plan and implement! 343 Make consider investment retrofitting existing facilities. 344 More Multi use paths and bike lanes that connect 345 Seek city participation in a voluntary uniform set of pedestrian and bicycle standards for education, laws, and signage. 346 Fund it and build it, quit thinking about it and just get it done. Spend less on the study and apply it to task completion. I used to work for ADOT, it took longer to fill out the paper work to sign out a car than it took to complete the entire task for which I needed the car so I know intimately of the difficulties in getting things done at the state. Hire the guys that did the I-10 work out here in the Goodyear area - they were awesome at getting things done (from a travelers point of view). 347 I believe that there must be accomodation on existing roadways for bicycle traffic. To move transport off the roadways will only allow "motor centric" citizens an avenue in time to ban cyclists from public roadways citing public safety concerns. 348 This will require a lot of effort educating citizens on the advantages of bicycling and walking. It can be done especially if it is done at the grass root level using bicycling enthusiasts as well as people who are into nature, health and walking. 349 If a tax increase is necessary to make the connectivity options a reality than so be it. If fuel taxes increase people will look to other methods to save money i.e. walking, cycling. 350 Good luck, I will believe it when I see it. 351 use their monies for better roads and use special funding for multi use paths. 352 I think ADOT has been doing a great job of this already. That only goes for ADOT's area, though; the cities and towns are still as unfriendly as anywhere else, unfortunately. To make this vision a reality, there is going to need to be some liaison work with the areas where highways intersect with towns. Maybe more traffic signs stating that bicycles are vehicles too, so we don't have motorists wasting law enforcement time reporting a cyclist in a traffic lane. 353 Well, I would consider giving you suggestions but 500 characters is way too short. Suffice it to say that you would need a lot of money to achieve this as ppl will become lax in a short time. Therefore the approach needs to "hit home" the first time; with importance stressed on safety (1st), cost saving (2nd), healthy living (3rd) and energy saving (4th) 354 Tax adults riding bicycles. 355 planning and encourage residents to use the facilities. 356 Billboards, printed material and electronic media about safety and show someone racking a bike on a bus/light rail 357 Shared use paths for cycling and walking are not ideal for cycling, because bikes and pedestrians don't mix well due to speed difference. Sidewalks for pedestrians and bike lanes for cycling offer the best solution. 358 Change the killer law stating that bikers must ride with the flow of traffic. Bikes can't compete with cars, SUVs and trucks. Bikes can't dodge out of the way if the rider doesn't know a vehicle is

swerving toward them. You, go for a bike ride and see how safe you feel knowing vehicles are coming up on you from behind. 359 Increasing percentage of total available monetary and time resources devoted to these initiatives instead of automotive initiatives. 360 help voters understand the relevance in relation to the money the state could save on not providing transportation money to support gas powered machines, 361 Educate people on all of the benefits of walking/cycling versus driving. Identify a target group such as: a) College students, b) a Community/City/Village/Church, c) Public employees to buy-in and model vision. This target group could receive an incentive for participation and serve as part of a focus group. 362 You have to work hard to make any vision a reality. Build support within recreational communities, and let the people help. 363 Use people effectively. There are too many ADOT employees that do a whole lot of nothing. 364 See previous comments & continue to work with the cycling community for cooperation. 365 In terms of connecting cycling to other forms of transit, is there any way to decrease bicycle theft at mass transit areas? I know I've seen lock box concept overseas to deter theft. 366 i think we can use/promote use of the canals more. need car-free passage at intersections or lights to make it safe. 367 ADOT needs to work with recreational cyclists as well as commuters to enhance the enjoyment of bicycle users on the roads. When a shoulder or bike lane ends, or there's a shoulder on one side but not the other, it's hard to plan a route. The complete system needs to account for city and county maintained roads as well. When new highways are built, existing routes may become unsafe for cycling unless a right of way is planned -- specifically Pecos Rd. in Ahwatukee. 368 Enforce basic safety laws such as signaling and multiple lane changes with no warning, creating unsafe conditions for those around them. When the drivers are more skilled, having more bike paths will be the next step. 369 The issue is not a "state highway" issue per se... Our day to day internsl city streets for everyday use that need the most work first & foremost. 370 support and publicity. There is a HUGE community of triathletes, cyclists and even commuters in AZ and there is a giant body of support for this. Facebook would be a good means of spreading the word. I have seen this survey posted on Facebook multiple times already today, which is going out to hundreds of people who are also reposting it to hundreds of others! 371 As someone whose general mode of transportation is two feet or two wheels, it is exciting to see ADOT taking the initiative in creating, promoting and nurturing other ways of getting places. Educating residents about state laws concerning bicycles and pedestrian using highways and how the laws governing interaction with vehicular traffic will be very helpful; enabling everyone to feel safe as they are proper using the highway system. 372 Education of all parties, drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and increasing funding for the whole project. 373 to make this vision a reality will require more taxes . . . but, of course, paid only by those of us who actually to the paying . . . and i pay enough, thank you. 374 Commit to putting in bike lanes on every new road that is built! 375 dont just talk walk the walk or ride the ride 376 Active relationship with the people, come and see us training, racing, having fun out there in family.

Please do not stay in your office all day.

Become one of us and you will see how long we have been screaming in silence looking for you ADOT.

Use better signage that informs drivers how to interact with pedestrians/cyclists. Enforce these areas with police and warn/ticket people driving recklessly. 380 Focus on driver education! Motorists don't seem to think of pedestrians or cyclists (or other motorists for that matter) as other people. They think of them as road blocks. Until this attitude changes this vision will be very difficult to realize. Oh, and if you have time bike lanes on overpasses need lots of work and roundabouts on a bike can be quite scary. 381 Make biking/walking enjoyable by providing shade, separation from cars (complete dedicated paths are best), water, and convenient routes between popular destinations like stores/shops. 382 identify areas of the highway system that need improvement through public input 383 YOU NEED TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR US TO BIKE BEFORE PEOPLE WILL TRY IT!!!! WE NEED PROTECTION! MAKE STRICTER PENALTIES IF YOU HIT A CYCLIST WHILE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE--- that'll make motorists look out for us! IF YOU ARE NOT SKILLED ENOUGH TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH CYCLISTS, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A LICENSE! There needs to be more communication to the public that cyclists have a RIGHT to the road!!!! 384 you've completly overlooked the recreational cyclist (75 - 250 miles/week) which put many more miles on the roads than commuters and thus far more likely to be hit. Every week we hear of fellow riders being struck by cars which is mostly due to the lack of distance between car and bike which agrivates drivers and is unsafe for cyclists. 385 Love it... 386 Money and buy-in from state law makers. Good luck! 387 This is a great plan but if safety is not the top priority this will not be used. Cell phone use without a bluetooth needs to be banned as well as texting and driving. There are way too many distracted drivers on our roads and if a "Complete System" does not include some extensive education through PSA's and driving school drivers will continue to believe bikers "don't belong on the road" and that "the bikers are breaking the law". Would love to see this happen but I'm concerned about safety. 388 Would also need to provide bike stands to lock bicycles to. Would require employer cooperation, have a few areas in parking lots or front of buildings designated for bicycle parking (Some do this already, most do not because everyone drives their car everywhere they go). Really need a cultural change to get people to exercise or gas prices need to go up to $10 - $20 per gallon. 389 Somehow, obtain a reasonable amount of funding from a legislature that equates anything spent by the government on something that doesn't support their constituency as socialism. 390 do it 391 Cut through the bureaucracy that often kills plans and agendas that are actually a benefit to the people rather than a politician's personal agenda. 392 Just do it, provided ADOT is provided adequate funding. 393 address to local communities, clubs, and to AZ State Legislators. 394 Increase awareness of cyclists on the road and how this can help save money, the environment, etc 395 Dedicated state funds to not just build it but continue to expand and maintain it. This should become a priority for the state, not an add-on to roadways. 396 more bike lanes 397 Keep building on what is already available. I bicycle and use the light rail. I feel safe is why.

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

Thanks! 398 Take it one step at a time. Trying to fund such a project in its entirety would probably generate a lot of resistance. Start with widening ALL state highways so that people can first use their bikes, educate through MVD & PSAs, then begin to tie it all together. 399 Encouraging local businesses and communities to educate their employees and neighbors that ADOT provides and encourages bicycle and pedestrian traffic, then provide strong incentives to ride and walk. 400 This all starts with driver education. Too many drivers have it out for us cyclists, bound and determined to be negative about all things cycling-related. Please educate the drivers and increase penalties for guilty parties. 401 Also add in maintenance of the current and to be cycling and walking amenities. Once you make it you have to keep it up! 402 Bike paths would be the ultimate way to go that are separate from traffic,but adjacent and or near traffic sort of like Scottsdales Greenbelt that runs next to Hayden Road.... My guess it would be costly to install and maintain, 403 Use money now directed to automobile use and support towards bicycle use instead. 404 Increase driver awareness and make roads safer for bicycles and pedestrians. Reinforce this with stiff penalties bike lane infractions etc. . Require law enforcement to react to car-cycling accidents similar to vehicle-vehicle accidents. Get tougher on my fellow cyclists who don't follow rules of the road. 405 Education is critical to making this more of a reality. Please see previous comments and suggestions. 406 If the intent is to allow a mix of bicycling, buses, and rail, the buses and rail cars will need to provide temporary storage space for bicycles, perhaps for a fee. 407 Do similar advocacy as you did for the Light Rail system. PSA's on tv, online, pamphlets, etc. Get with the Arizona Bicyclists Against Distracted Drivers to form alliances with the cycling community to help "get the word out, etc." 408 Start by building it. 409 Commit to it and make a cohesive and creative marketing plan that supports, educates and promotes on-vehicle use. 410 I hope the commitment of the policy budget makers exists. 411 Implement paragraph 3, above. 412 This survey would have been much more effective if it allows someone taking the time to fill it out to actually click on the desired answer. I think the cyclist are a hazzard and the ones that want to be safe are. The ones taking the chances and are careless are the ones that get hurt. 413 Make multi-use pathways part of road planning at the very beginning. As it is, they tend to be an afterthought, which leaves dangerous gaps in high-traffic areas. 414 Needs to clearly state that by incorporating into state highway design, it does not mean bikes will be traveling 3 feet away from 65mph cars. It needs to be a trail separated but following the path of the highway. I picture, Oregon, Colorado, and many other states I've visited. 415 The vision looks good. Find and secure the funding. Rally those already walking and bicycling to work so that they become advocates. 416 Assign a Bicycle & Pedestrian committee and get out in AZ promote the program & educate. 417 bicycle and pedestrian traffic should be provided and protected on local and collector streets. to a limited degree, they should be provided and protected on minor arterial streets. they do not belong on Major Arterials such as many state routes. 418 Strongly agree. Could this be framed in terms of return on investment?

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

I think I read that Wisconsin's bike tourism brings in $1 Billion a year. Why don't we invite those summer Wisconsin bikers to Arizona in the winter? Would it be wise for the state to invest $100 Million to bring in $1 Billion? 419 I believe you have adequately defined the needs in your Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. 420 I love that ADOT is seriously looking at alternatives to autos. THis is the wave of the future. 421 Set measureable intermediate goals. 422 I think a "complete system" is one in which the paths for cyclists or pedestrians are totally protected from motorists. While not entirely feesable in all areas, it's certainly doable in areas where new construction or renewal is taking place. Barriers that help each user identify where he/she is supposed to be along with clear right of way signage and signals will make people feel more safe ad encouraged to ride or walk. 423 Educate the driving public to the safety and laws of cyclists and pedestrians, make punishment more stringent to encourage compliance with these laws. EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION. 424 see the previous suggestions I made- I feel they will be a good start! 425 In principal this sounds great, but I disagree because I think you need to find a new funding source to pay for the sidewalks and bike paths. ADOT should focus on building highways and use our highway funds to build roads that move cars and commercial vehicles. These amenities need to be paid for either by the users or come from another revenue source other than our highway funds. Maybe charge another $5 on VLT for "bicycle and pedestrian sidewalks". 426 I agree with this only if people become more aware of bicylists and pedestrians, and stop the look out for me attitude 427 Build more bike paths, there's room to do it along side highways, especially the 202 loop. 428 Convince the state and federal government to set aside the funds to make it happen. 429 Disagree:

1. "all abilities"... get real and state it.

2. "facilities".. focus on the getting from point A to point B... not bicycle parking, etc.

Make it happein:

1. Make it SAFE 430 educate stakeholders and legislators; invest in infrastructure--and maintain it!!; support enforcement that targets vehicle violations rather than peds and cyclists (who are the most vulnerable users of these thoroughfares), while educating peds ands cyclists about safe use of roadways (for themselves and other peds/cyclists and for establishing good will w motorists) 431 One idea is to change some of your rules for example I was trying to get them to leave the old highway from Globe to Roosevelt so that it would be used by cyclist/pedestrians but the rules required that once the new hwy was built it needed to be reclaimed to a natural state. We should have been able to at least entertain that idea. 432 See ALL other suggestions listed. Also, run commercials, talk shows on radio, have 'bike days to work monthly', random prizes to cyclissts! 433 When yu start including the use of highways for bikes and walking thats a problem. If you come to possilbe solutions tht would be the time to evaluate with a survey and the generic statement is to vague without meaningful potential solutions. 434 Look at the fed wasting tax payers money on pet projects. Taxpayers get it, donteful spending!!!! you??? Stop wast

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

435 OK, but for now get these fools off of highways not built for safe use! Any roadway without paved shoulders at least two foot wide is a serious safety hazard for any driver or rider! Don't make it worse. 436 Scale it back to something finantially feasible. 437 education to motorists...

bicycle safety for motorists and licences..

build more bike lanes..

better marking and signs

marketing campaign on sharing the road. 438 I LOVE the statement. I think it will take some serious advertising/educating to get people on board. I would work closely with local biking organizations to find out the best way to reach the local cyclists/pedestrians (i.e. Flagstaff Biking Organization or Flagstaff Trail Runners Association) 439 Very well stated! 440 replace many state legislatiors and governor 441 Wait until we have a better economy to spend too much money for biking. 442 You have to have funding and I don't see that being available for a long time. 443 Improve all facilities, paths and highways to encourage more use exactly as stated above. 444 Incorporate bike and pedestrian-friendly standards in all projects. Give more authority to the bike coordinator to ensure every project is given proper consideration to bicycles and pedestrians rather than a secondard consideration. 445 Coordinate and collaborate with other state, local, and federal agencies to come up with creative solutions. 446 Begin a "Mobility Education" program in the schools to replace driver education. This would include safe routes education; how to plan a trip by any mode or combination of modes; teach basic bike care/maintenance in grade school; work with local planning agencies to enhance connectivity between neighborhoods and activity centers. 447 Strong leadership, a real commitment at the highest level of government, $$$$, patience, total transparency. 448 Seek additional federal funding for bicycling and pedestrian related improvements. 449 Make the bike lane safer with rumble strips just outside the bike lanes or raised reflectors just outside the bike lanes to alert cars they are in the bike lane. Stricter laws regarding cars that strick cyclists would also help. 450 Subtract spending on automobile infrastructure and give that money to bicycling and pedestrian facilities. 451 Educate motorist that they are responsible for their driving and that they ALWAYS need to pay attention when driving. Create and enforce strict distracted driving laws. Pedestrians are not going away... and there needs to be a better way or making motorist realize that they simply need to share the road and be responsible for their actions. 452 Focus on the "in-town" use. Help Cities and counties to become more bike friendly, this is where the ridership potential is. Where ever ADOT ROW meets City ROW they should have good connections for bikes. Concentrating on a remote state highway is a waste of money. Focus on the low hanging fruit, where ADOT connects to the urban biking potential (overpasses, transit stops paths are first choice) 453 Get the funding either through grants or federal infrastructure dollars and "git 'er done!" In other words, Just DO It! 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 175 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

454 It's a good start. Might want to remove the wording "comfortably", "more pleasant" and "more comfortable" You have no control over this variable.

"Complete System" implies that nothing has been overlooked and, once in place, will meet every situation imaginable. Not realistic

I would also encourage some form of wording to incorporate a team effort between bicyclists, walkers, nd motorist. 455 Obtain high-level commitment/funding governor/elected officials. Recruit coalition of "champions" to act as sponsors across state. Create short vision statement that everyone can remember. Recruit community leaders from across the state to be stakeholders (ask for their opinions/ideas). Communicate, communicate!. Deal with emerging problems quickly and visibly. Don't declare victory too soon-a continual change/evolution process. It is a race without a finish line! 456 work with local bike clubs, local businesses (not limited to bike and sporting stores), hospitals and health organizations on promotion and education. BIG: local police need to enforce vehicle & pedestrian laws! Bicyclists flagrantly break vehicle laws (traffic control devices) & pedestrians endanger everyone with crossing major streets not at crosswalks. This is dangerous and makes motorists intolerant. 457 Excellent progress is already being made in some areas of the State so build on that success. 458 I agree mostly, but Arizona is loaded with hills and valleys. I don't walk because of the huge exertion on my arthritic knees going up and down. I don't know what ADOT can do to about this. Maybe have areas to walk/bike that have levels like in snow skiing. That would be interesting. 459 This is my opinion only. In this day and age with unemployment steadily between 8 and 9%. I don't see how the tax payers would be happy with ADOT getting involved in side walks and bike paths. If the state has so much extra funding it needs to spend money on; I say take care of the employees who saw 3% raises back when Janet Napoletono was Governor and put some cash in our rainy day fund. 460 ADOT will be confronted with the enormous task of educating the public that safe bicycle traffic will enhance city life and that subjugation of bicycle traffic by vehicle traffic is counter to enhanced city life. 461 Work with the many Arizona bicycle clubs, hiking clubs, bike shops and hike shops to lobby state lawmakers and get the word out to the general public. 462 Try to mirror what they have do in Germany. Send a team to Hiedelbergh and observe the traffic controls and bike paths, whenever possible they have tunnels under train tracks, bridges over the autobahn. They have signals for the bikes and pedestrians. They are a healthier people and spend less on transportation because they can bicycle places. 463 Somewhere, I think ADOT should have a "showcase" boulevard that features the best ideas for safely and freely cycling, walking/running without fear or worry of cars or traffic. 464 DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON THE ABOVE. PLENTY OF PLACES TO RIDE AND STAY OFF OF STATE HIGHWAYS. ONLY A VERY SMALL MINORITY OF FOLKS BICYCLE ANYWAY AND THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY AND SAFE RIDING IN PLACES WITHOUT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND OFF STATE HIGHWAYS. 465 I agree, if this actually happens. The current system is far from "complete". ADOT (and local cities) would benefit from input from cyclists. For example, Cactus road near 96th street has a new bike lane. Made of concrete. Who came up with that? It's clear cyclists were not consulted. 466 convince the legislature (good luck!)

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

467 Start NOW 468 Make the public aware, get cycling communities, shops and local advocacy groups involved to help ensure that the decisions being made are not one-sided. 469 Put time & money into making our roadways safer. Encourage changes in the state laws so that motorists killing a cyclist or pedestrian have harsher punishments. Educate drivers: cyclists are allowed on the road, they can ride two abreast, can take up a whole lane if there is unsafe passing distance, passing distance is three feet, etc . Ask questions about these laws on permit and driving tests 470 Get a grip on reality. No one rides a bike or walks in 100 Deg. plus weather. The vast majority of bike riding I observe in the city is for recreation, not transportation. ADOT should not be adding bike access for the recreational users. The only practical application is in urban area to link existing city bike and pedestrian infrastructure. When bike start paying their way for their lanes etc., then start adding these. 471 The trouble with planners is that they don't build anything. I've attended too many planning meetings where the five year plan becomes the ten year plan, eventually becoming the twenty year plan...Maybe. Wonderful plans that never lead to building anything. It would be nice to see something more built in my lifetime. 472 Educate and advocate 473 Who has time necessary to bike/walk to work? Is a 30 min bike commute or 1 hr walk realistic to a 15 min car ride? What is considered reasonable distance? The highway system isn't integral to pedestrian-scale travel; but more of an impediment within the city areas. Sharing roadways between bikes/peds with highways does not seem like a good idea; separation of these two very different levels of traffic is necessary for safety. I like the idea of bike over/underpasses and safer crossings! 474 The population and driving age and demeanor of the residents in many urban areas are not conducive to safely implementing this idea. Ideal world, ideal situation, yes. Phoenix and other areas in the valley are just to aggressive to have bicycles and pedestrians on the same highways! Look at the number of motorcycle accidents where people say "I never saw him...... " .Is there a way to utilize our surface streets and make them more accommodating to this type of traffic? 475 I bike to work 2 days per week. This is 25 miles round trip! I think it would be great to have safer lanes of travel for bikes so we could all decrease our carbon footprint, decrease weight, and increase health! 476 The difficult aspect is conviencing motorist I would look to some of the european cities and countries who have make these types of changes for ways to improve our "complete system". 477 Not sure 478 Can't be done; we're too HOT much of the year and have more important issues to be funded such as CPS, health care, etc. 479 I have not seen a consistent action in the past. Need to follow through. 480 Disagree with first paragraph. AZ is already a place where bicycling and walking are convenient and safe. Would suggest changing to state: "to continue our flexibility in transportation choices, ADOT will design future improvements and additions to accommodate all modes of transportation". 481 Reallocation of funds in the treasury, espceially those that come from fuel taxes. 482 Much better education for all users of the highway system. 483 Complete the vision. Too many projects never make it out of concept stage. It will take leadership with determination to ensure this vision is realized. Thanks! 484 Arizona is not a bicycle/pedestrian encouraging state.

I doubt there is much hope for public excitement.

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

Knowing our state, you could probably generate more interest by

creating some dirt paths for stage coach use. 485 Encourage communities to adopt a "complete streets" program. Educate the public. 486 Laws protecting cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians need to be reviewed in order to protect people from neglectful and distracted drivers. 487 ADOT needs to carefully select locations for these demonstration projects. I'm having trouble visualizing where they would work effectively. Do people want to walk from Globe to Miami? They might ride bikes, so bike lanes or riding paths are needed. 488 Include this vision as part of the review process for all new projects. 489 test 490 test test 491 Change standards like narrower lanes (11' lanes instead of 12' lanes), make minimum desired vehicle level of service D instead of C or B or at least make pedestrian and bicycle minimum level of service the same as for vehicles 492 help change the culture of "we drive cars so we own the road" mentality, ad campaigns, work with local cycling groups, training groups, etc.. organize awareness campaigns 493 Partner with other state and federal agencies and with local government. 494 It is stupid not to attach a time frame, say 50 years. As new roadways are considered (like the new Phoenix Las Vegas segment work your ideas into it. Your goal is way way too expensive for the benefits. Start with a few ideas like park and ride lots and routes. Pick sympathetic employers and work with them on locker facilities and flex time arrivals. 495 Some roads in AZ were designed for the exclusive use of motor vehicles without any regard for another mode of transportation. A comprehensive plan needs to be developed that would prioitize and amend those roads so they would accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians. 496 Eliminate some of the ridiculous legislation that's been proposed and/or imposed during the latest session and focus on more important issues such as this Plan 497 Make this a priority element of any funding allocation. Incorporate these changes into all design code. Plan regional bike routes with new freeways to identify key under/overpasses - include in construction. Parallel, grade-separated multi-use trail along freeways ("Bike Highway") 498 ADOT needs to quantify via a benefit analysis-- whether the taxpayer costs are warrented to provide the facilities. 499 Funding through events and govenors budget 500 Do it in populated areas not outer lying areas where not too many people ride. This will make it less costly. 501 create a system to fund the infrastructure, build the infrastructure, maintain the infrastructure, tell the Automobile, Steel, Rubber, and Oil lobbies to take a back seat to issues of human beings. Protect people from death and injury. Stop building freeways. Start building communities. 502 Widen roads. There are little to no shoulders on the road I live on. I have a friend who runs along the side of the road. I expect to see her hit by a vehicle at any time! 503 "All ages and abilites" is too broad a spectrum. In the same way that some disabilities prevent the safe operation of a motor vehicle, they can prevent the safe operation of a bicycle. Allowing an unsafe operator to occupy State Highways and rights of way is not condusive to creating a safe enviroment.

Other than this, I like the statement. 504 as long as the cost is minimal

505 Pedestrians on interstate highways needs to stop, it is an extreme hazard. Point pedestrians to state highways instead. I.e. at 89A/I-17 "junction", place signage directing pedestrians to 89A instead. 506 The opening statement is not realistic. Most of the State is rural and not always conducive to safe walking or biking. 507 Concentrate efforts on plans such as this rather than building more and wider roads. 508 More and wider bike lanes, signs/education to the public regarding bike laws. 509 I don't see what benfit State Highway System enhancements provide. Anything in the valley should be on normal streets and riding to Tucson is not something that anyone would do on a regular basis. 510 The first thing I would do is have bike riders face oncoming traffic. To ride with your back to traffic is stupid!!! 511 Get serious about bike/ped/transit, which I don't see being the case today with all the 202, 303, and 17 efforts -- all projects that fundamentally undermine the vision that I just read above. 512 Increase number of bike lanes. 513 I guess this survey helps--a step in making people aware that such an initiative is going on. Public service commerials might help as well. 514 Educate the public 515 I cannot provide any suggestions to fulfill a vision of anyone who would think that 4,000 pound hunks of steel moving at high speeds can safely share the same paved surfaces with 250 pound hunks of soft flesh moving at slow speeds. I 110% agree with the vision of more biking and walking. But we need to completely re-examine the way we envision our entire bike/ped path/lane system to be constructed. 516 more bike/pedestrian friendly road features - wider bike lanes, more dedicated paths, more education for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians 517 believe in it and get started. sometimes we don't always do something right, but this is a cause of doing the right thing. 518 make sure all arizonans realize that their children and their elderly parents are NOT drivers -- this isn't for special interest groups, it's for all of us. 519 Forget the "complete system" idea. 520 Devote more funding to ensuring all state roads have either bike lanes or sufficiently wide shoulders to permit safe and enjoyable biking and walking. 521 Hurts to hear, but internet is not the place to advertise, BILLBOARDS, TV news spots, newspaper ads all work the best for this. Work with local transit, bike, and pedestrian groups that are not MPO's, and they will help do the work for you as volunteers. There are many people who would jump at this chance. 522 When projects are created, designed, and constructed, include shoulders, multi-use paths, and sidewalks. When maintenance is done, widen shoulders. Provide signage, and paint to alert drivers of specialized lanes. Budget for more pedestrian signals at major crossings i.e school crossings or community connections. Work with local gov’ts and bicycle organizations to provide info for maps displaying good routes for pedestrians & bicyclists that may avoid congested areas of roads. 523 See previous comments 524 Commit the resources to make it work. 525 Keep 'em alive, Keep 'em off the road. 526 Excellent...now let's get started! 527 this is a test by Brent Crowther. Do not summarize. 528 It is a nice goal but it seems "lofty" when comparing bicycling now, which up to this point has been more "rhetoric" of "wanting" to believe vision like this.

areas more than others, businesses are still not friendly to bike riders. Security, lighting, pathways, all lack the fundamental need to encourage new bike riders to use this mode for transportation. 529 Who will be paying for all your grand plans? Us working taxpayers cannot afford anymore freebies. 530 ADOT needs to improve the safety for cyclists by changing the laws protecting them. If hitting or killing a cyclist only costs the driver a few hundred dollars, nothing will change and cyclists will continue to die without consequence for the driver. 531 Acquire the budget to make it happen 532 More facilities, bike lanes, and better enforcement/safety. 533 Dedicate funding to support the mission and specific goals. 534 Keep it as simple as possible. It doesn't have to be fancy and/or expensive. Simply providing a relatively flat, clear path that is easy to access is all that is needed. It can be further enhanced by planting trees along the route to provide shade. Providing a landscaped buffer of at least 2 or 3 feet between the path and the roadway would be ideal.

A 3 or 4 foot strip of concrete or asphalt next to a busy road is unlikely to convince anyone to walk/bike instead of driving. 535 Educate the people and they will like the idea and will be on board. 536 It is a great start! 537 This vision is all utopian nonsense. The current urban layout in Arizona does not lend itself to large shift in lifestyle towards more walking and biking. In rural areas with ADOT roads it is even worse. If the urban areas can be made more bike/ped friendly that would be a big achievement and ADOT has absolutely no say in that. 538 Increase funding for improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the state highway system. Build new bicycle and pedestrian facilities as part of each state highway project. Coordinate new bicycle and pedestrian facilities with local governments and integrate them into bus and light rail connections. 539 More buses 540 do you have the money? how do you know where to build first? Tucson has WONDERFUL bike paths throughout the city. Bikes should NEVER be allowed on the interstates. 541 Continue the trend toward accommodating these modes in all infrastructure improvements. 542 Great vision I think and it has been done in other states so I am sure it can happen here. 543 Complete the project, and make the shared roadways safer. 544 As mentioned before, I think public transportation is a very important part of this. Motivation to get out of the car is this most important. With adequate options, people are more likely to do just that.... 545 Informational blitz using all forms of media to get the plans out there to inform & educate. 546 Work with federal, state, and local land managers, planners, and businesses to improve coordination. Smart transportation options must be interwoven with smart planning, zoning, and community development. Poorly-planned sprawl development is not conducive to smart or innovative transportation. 547 Way too broad. Nothing but dollar signs associated with "economic vitality of cities and towns in rural and urban areas" means TAX and SPEND more than the government takes. And, somehow, 4 or 5 months of the year are just not that conducive to shared-use bicycle facilities. Common sense, please. 548 This program should be for urban areas only. Taxes should not be spent for the few riders and

few month to go between rural towns. 549 It's nothing more than pie in the sky liberalism. Stop bilking the taxpayer for this kind of crap, we're out of money and out of patience. If pedestrians and bicyclists want better facilities set up a donation box and let them fund it themselves or let them pay a road use tax or a license fee to fund it. I'm tired of having my taxes raised to support activities that I don't and will probably never use. 550 It can't just be the State Highway System. If the cities and counties can't maintain or improve their system, increasing safety, then people won't be there. Ticket bicyclists that don't follow laws, like stopping at stop signs, ride 3 or more abreast or ride the wrong way - against traffic. 551 Do all the above! Thank you for this questionairre! 552 Invest more money into improving facilities for biking/walking/public transportation. The necessary money can be generated by raising taxes on driving to encourage people to find other means of transportation. 553 The third paragraph makes the most sense. First paragraph, second sentence and first sentence of second paragraph is just fluff. This type of vision statement takes away from the overall credibility of the vision. But to answer your question, you could build more facilities off the state highway system. 554 Changing behavior is difficult. Though unpopular and unfair, using economics; e.g., kicking the gas tax up to a couple of bucks could be effective. This should be considered short term and perhaps a refund mechanism via annual income tax filing could be implemented allowing those with incomes below a threshold could receive a portion or all of their fuel tax back.

An alternative, as in your plan, must be completely, or at least mostly, in place before forcing people out of vehicles. 555 Motorists have been educated and are seen to comply with laws regarding bicyclists. However, the bikers do not feel the laws apply to them. They need to be licensed if they are going to use the road system, and affix plates to their bikes so they can be ticketed when they break the law. 556 In part, show the diversity of those who ride and walk. I'm an educated professional and I choose to ride; I could afford another vehicle, but I save thousands of dollars each year by not having one. 557 I like: ". A “Complete System” recognizes that transit users often begin or end their trip as pedestrians or bicyclists." and "Bicycle and pedestrian facilities such as underpasses/overpasses, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and paths and transit stops will clearly indicate the right of way or their accommodation on shared roadways." Most people use a combination of means of transportation. Advising non cycling citizens that no one is trying to take away their use of a car. 558 Not allow that to be the first item cut during scoping of a project based on the cost to provide these facilities. Focus on urban areas first where people would be most apt to use the facilities. 559 It seems to me you are already moving in the correct direction with this vision. From my point of view

ADOT is the most together department within the government in AZ !! AND I live in Sedona, bless you. 560 Include in new construction plans 561 I think this plan is going to cause more congestion for vehicle traffic. People don't not ride their bikes because the roads are not there, the don't ride because the city is too spread out and it's too hot. I have a friend who rides over 20 miles to work using mostly canals every day until it's hot out. He rides because he wants to. You adding trails to the highway are not going to get me on a bike, not for a million years. 562 Find the funding

Question No. 5: What does ADOT need to do to make this vision a reality (500 characters max)?

563 It is a start in the right direction for a healther state 564 There must be some fiscal constraints on the plan update. There are more cyclists that would like to ride on the shoulders of state highways -- but how many pedestrians...very few I assume. 565 Prove to me that a significant amount of people in AZ would use the highways for this purpose to justify the outlay. 566 Involve local user groups (cyclists/pedestrians), eduate those that aren't in the target user group (motorists etc.) and eduate /inform target user groups (cyclists/pedestrains) when they aren't following proper laws and regualtions as well. Both sides should be held accountable. 567 They need to change their vision - bike and pedestrian paths are great but they shouldn't be anywhere near state highways 568 This is important for cycling safety and will also improve the quality of life for all people in AZ because of the decrease in auto traffic, decrease in pollution, increase in exercise and do whats right for global climate change. 569 Travel to Durango, Colorado and see how they made bicycling and walking more accessible around their town. I grew up there and going back today, I take my bike and can safely ride all over town. 570 Make it a priority in funding projects. Recognize the benefits that achieving this vision will provide our state. 571 During the process of unstalling the new San Pedro Bridge is important to provide a path way for biking and hikers. It would be nice to see a pathway from the City of Sierra Vista to the San Pedro River. 572 It's probably unrealistic to accommodate bikers and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. Where public transit is not used, the employer accommodations are a major factor in determining whether a person will walk or ride a bike to work. I strongly believe that the use of bicycle lanes does not promote safety. 573 Bike paths should preferably be off state highway system due to high speed traffic. 574 need to improve Arizonan's health and also lower reliance on foreign oil by making biking easier and safer 575 Engineering design, improved signage, public education. 576 Make a plan to find a way to fund it. 577 Coordinate better with local governments.

Question No. 6: Choose a state highway you would like to comment on. State Highway Comment Interstate 8 not appropriate for bicycle or ped traffic Interstate 8 Frontage Road from Foothills Blvd to Fortuna Rd. Used by many cyclists and in very very bade condition Interstate 8 Whatever happened to the planned frontage road improvements in The Foothills. (Yuma County, 8-E to 13-E) Construction on the five year plan is long overdue. Is it now the 10 year plan? Interstate 8 Yuma to Tuscon should have double wide bike lanes on both sides including water/way stations set up every 25 miles.. nothing fancy just functional including shade.

Interstate 8 Fix the shoulders from Foothills Blvd to Welton.

Interstate 10 East/West crossing between Southern and Broadway. Interstate 10 Cortero Farms Road. Crossing underneath the highway at the juncture is very dangerous. The bike path ends a few blocks before the crossing and resumes a block or so on the other side. It is a main artery in Tucson that is severed. Interstate 10 Traveling on Chandler Blvd or Ray Rd and crossing I-10 the bike lane disappears as you cross over the highway and is absent on the West side of the continuing roads. Bike lanes should curve onto the middle of the lane as they fade out to indicate the cyclist's right to ride on the road if there is not sufficient shoulder space to allow safe passing. Interstate 10 the Chandler/I-10 overpass. in Chandler City Chandler has a nice bike lane, but as it becomes Phoenix the bike lane is no longer marked. There is plenty of room for a bike lane it's just not marked so drivers take up both their lane and the area for a bike lane. I was almost hit at this overpass. Thanks Interstate 10 Provide safe crossing under or over in the Tucson Metro area Interstate 10 We need wider bike lanes along frontage road and clearly marked bicycle positions at intersections from Maran out to Vail. There are shoulders with a marking for bike lane but it needs to be clearly marked so motorists know bicycles are meant to be there. At intersections, sharrows would help position bicyclists and alert motorists to need to share the road. Interstate 10 It's actually a good issue: the method that Pima Co. has used to connect "The Loop." It is an excellent example of how to integrate shared use paths with existing terrain features and roadway improvements to connect motor vehicle highways with non-motorized shared use paths. In particular, the section of the Rillito River Path that connects from the East to the West side of I-10 just south of Orange Grove RD. Interstate 10 most all overpasses in Tucson for I 10 do not have adequate and safe walkways for pedestrians or bicyclist Interstate 10 I-10 & Downtown Tucson: Scarey and unpleasant underpasses to use, especially with children or inexperienced riders; lack connectivity to local bicycle network; facilities are sporadic; Frontage road speeds make E/W crossings under I-!0 terrifying, uncomfortable; Safer, visible, and continuous facilities need to be in place; Is a major barrier between downtown and west side if you're not in a car! Interstate 10 The biggest concern is just coming up with a connecting route between Phoenix and Tucson. (The state highway map will not load.) Interstate 10 The traffic and roads are not complete enough to accommodate pedestrian and bike traffic safely. Interstate 10 Approximately MP 242 (.85 miles west of Avra Valley Road interchange). A railroad spur crossing both the east and west frontage roads creates a hazardous condition for cycllists. There have been a few incidents of accidents involving cyclists when bicycle tires become trapped in the tracks. This condition may not be resolved through construction improvements; however, it may be a good idea to provide signage alerting cyclists of the potential hazards. Interstate 10 I don't see any paths next the I-10 anywhere. Maybe you can incorporate access/frontage road as part of bike paths. Interstate 10 Keep the frontage road bike lanes clean of debris

Question No. 6: Choose a state highway you would like to comment on. State Highway Comment Interstate 10 Making this highway safe and comfortable for cycling and walking in all directions would make it feasible for bikers and walkers to make long-distance travel a reasonable option. Interstate 10 No issues. Well traveled. Interstate 10 Where the kyrene path crosses I-10. It turns to dirt, which if on a road bicycle, becomes a tire puncture hazard. paving this short section would help in completing a commuting path for many cyclists. Interstate 10 Frontage road of I10 and Riggs - heading West. Busy highway, dirty shoulders.

Interstate 10 Elliott, Warner, Ray and Chandler Roads. Over the bypass has no bike lanes. This needs to be corrected. Interstate 10 3rd St crossing Phoenix is not sufficiently bicycle and pedestrian friendly. Shade structures, better visibility, etc. all important adjustments. Interstate 10 I-10 in Goodyear near Sarival Ave. There is a fantastic existing park/trail system in the Canyon Trails neighborhood just south of I-10. It comes to an abrupt stop at I-10. A dedicated pedestrian crossing is needed to connect to the neighborhoods north of I-10. Possibly a paved pathway next to the Roosevelt Canal. Interstate 10 Many of the overpasses do not have bike lane (for example, Guadalupe, Warner, and Elliot Interstate 10 The intersection at I-10 and Baseline Is one of the scariest to cross by bicycle, especially traveling west to east. With three right turn lanes, drivers don't often fully look before turning. It would be nice if it was a "no turn on red" intersection. Interstate 10 No I-10 Bypass through the Avra Valley. No I-11. Interstate 10 At St. Mary's road in Tucson, I-10 has crosswalks with signals for pedestrians to cross the frontage roads. However, when an east bound vehicle is turning left onto the north-bound frontage road/entrance ramp, they have a green arrow at the SAME TIME as the pedestrian has a walk signal. The cars tend to be focused on oncoming traffic, so they frequently don't see the pedestrians until they're right on top of them. Pedestrians need their own time to cross without the threat of turning traffic! Interstate 10 The 19th Avenue exit. My car failed and I had to walk down the off ramp to a safe point to be picked up. I felt the cars kissing my back as I walked down that ramp, I can imagine what pedestrians and bikers feel. Interstate 10 There is no place to safely cross I-10 from the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport area (e.g. University / 40th / 143 / Broadway) South to Ahwatukee. Makes it difficult to plan rides/commutes from/to South Phoenix areas. Interstate 10 How do you ride from Tucson to Phoenix and back without frontage roads? Ones in City of Tucson are nice. Interstate 10 Ina Road. Crossing underneath the highway at the juncture is very dangerous. The bike path ends a few blocks before the crossing and resumes a block or so on the other side. It is a main artery in Tucson that is severed. Interstate 10 Need to better accommodate bicyclists at freeway crossings at Elliot Rd Interstate 10 There is not frontage road on I-10 from Eloy to Phoenix. Interstate 10 The Tucson portion would benefit from bike routes that go along the freeway on some type of frontage roads. Interstate 10 Frontage road from Marana to Eloy is rough. This makes a convenient road and many cyclists are already using it. Interstate 10 This should be an area that is easy to make safe for cyclists. I've always wondered why we don't have regular bike tours from Phoenix to Tucson first and later on to LA and/or San Diego. Interstate 10 Needs separate bike path protected with guard rails etc. Interstate 10 I would like to see more "bike/ped-only" underpasses, and with increased frequency (i.e. within 1/2 mile of eachother). This could apply anywhere, but especially in urban settings Trying to cross under interstates with hundreds of speeding cars, multiple lanes of traffic, and low visibility is a terrible experience and hugely discourages biking and walking as transportation. . Interstate 10 it would be great if you could allow cyclist to ride I-10 from Phoenix to Tucson Interstate 10 Sunshine and Sunland Gin Road are too narrow they are not safe to cross walking or with a bycicle.

Question No. 6: Choose a state highway you would like to comment on. State Highway Comment Interstate 10 Pedestrian/Bicycle bridge is needed at the 5th St alignment across I-10. A creative solution to bridging the associated HOV onramp/offramp lanes surely exists. Needed to provide easier access from Downtown and Evans Churchill neighborhood into the Townsend Park neighborhood to the N and associated grocery store (Safeway) and park resources (Townsend Park) north of the freeway and to make it easier for those residents to reach Downtown amenities. Interstate 10 downtown area Interstate 10 I-10 in Goodyear at Bullard Wash between Bullard Ave and Estrella Pkwy. A simple paved sidewalk/pathway through where the wash passes under I-10 could significantly improve this connection. Though not yet necessary, this is a simple improvement that would help future development of a bike/pedestrian friendly corridor. Interstate 10 There are several stretches of I-10 where it is the only route available, and so bicyclist are out there with all the trucks and passenger cars. There needs to be better signing and marking for both cyclists and motorists, and possibly a defined portion of the shoulder for the bikes. Interstate 10 No bikes or pedestrians allowed; too dangerous. Interstate 10 Expansion of this highway is a major divide between Tempe and Phoenix, with little opportunity for pedestrian/bike crossing. Connectivity with established canal paths would be beneficial to people living in Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix, as the canals connect the communities. Interstate 10 chandler road crossing - very dangerous area to try to navigate. Interstate 10 Interstate 10 overpasses in the Phoenix metro area and littered with debris and are in poor overall cleanliness I use the 32nd St/University Dr overpass most often. Lack of safe riding shoulder is often an issue as well. Interstate 10 I believe between 291 and 281 is a section that is narrow and prone to high winds (and therefore slowed to 65mph) that is littered with animal carcasses and tire debris (at least) for many weeks at a time before being cleared. It can be scary just driving the section in traffic (especially next to trucks), let alone riding a bicycle or walking it, or breaking down for that matter. Interstate 10 No bicycles on Interstate highways 19 & 10 Interstate 10 Orange Grove Road. Crossing underneath the highway at the juncture is very dangerous. The bike path ends a few blocks before the crossing and resumes a block or so on the other side. It is a main artery in Tucson that is severed. Interstate 10 The 10 has really been improved and I think ADOT for that. Interstate 10 Many crossings of I-10 in the Tucson District need bike lanes. Interstate 10 How about adding a bike lane along the entire length from L-101 to Riggs Road? Interstate 10 Speedway Road. Crossing underneath the highway at the juncture is very dangerous. The bike path ends a few blocks before the crossing and resumes a block or so on the other side. It is a main artery in Tucson that is severed. Interstate 10 improve seperation between bike movement and motorist for safety. Interstate 10 Jimmy Kerr to Florence in Casa Grande - no access for bicycles or pedestrians. Interstate 10 Grant Road. Crossing underneath the highway at the juncture is very dangerous. The bike path ends a few blocks before the crossing and resumes a block or so on the other side. It is a main artery in Tucson that is severed.

Interstate 17 Flagstaff vicinity Ability to ride a bicycle on shoulder is a great benefit. Interstate 17 I-17 at Camelback. I live west of I-17 near Camelback, & most of the destinations I want to ride my bicycle to are east of I-17. Since Camelback, Indian School, & Bethany Home have no accommodation whatsoever for cyclists, I add 3 miles to every trip to use the overpass at Maryland. Interstate 17 Complete some crossings near the Carefree Hwy, Norterra, & Anthem areas. Please Interstate 17 There are few crossings for bicycles that I've found (usually riding south of bethany home in this instance) that don't involve riding on a busy street or being forced to ride on the sidewalk. Interstate 17 Since there is no reasonable alternative to I-17 as a direct route between Flagstaff and Phoenix, I'd like to see the entire route (beyond the reasonable alternative routes in and near both cities) improved with severe rumble strips (with breaks) to keep the fast-moving traffic off the shoulders, and with regular, thorough maintenance of the shoulders so they are clean 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 185 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Question No. 6: Choose a state highway you would like to comment on. State Highway Comment and smooth. There should be NO places where rumble strips cross the entire shoulder, rendering it impractical for cycling. Interstate 17 a paved bike path from mountainare/kachina exits through the national forest to Flagstaff. Or, make a paved bike path along old Munds Highway. Interstate 17 The entire highway, starting in Black Canyon city to Sedona, has an incredible amount of debris on the shoulder. It is very dangerous to ride and cars should be divided from the bike lane by a barrier to keep cars from pulling off or swerving into the bike lane. Interstate 17 Where I17 enters Flagstaff there is a dangerous underpass that is very busy because students and from NAU cross under it at all hours of the day. There is a fenced urban trail on one side, but it does not have any access points to cross at between the light at Beulah road and the four way stop sign on campus at the Business building. Therefore, most students walk on the other side of the street, which has no sidewalk between Red Lobster and the Business Building. Interstate 17 I-17 and Happy Valley very unsafe with all those roundabouts. Hard to cycle through that intersection. Interstate 17 Happy Valley - Round about is SCARY on a bike Interstate 17 Crossing under 17 on McConnell to NAU. Very dangerous for bikes and pedis. Interstate 17 I-17 and Happy Valley Road round a bouts Interstate 17 Arizona Needs Bike Lanes! Interstate 17 Carefree Hwy. No bike lane crossing Interstate 17 Distance to Prescott or Flagstaff by bike posted. Clean up shoulders, provide rest areas, mark lines for bikes. Interstate 17 From Exit 333 north into Flagstaff: 1. often debris in the emergency/bike lane 2. crossing at the airport exit and at lake mary exit on/off ramps can be very, very scary 3. lack of signage encouraging drivers to watch for cyclists 4. lanes not cleared well enough when there is snow 5. no bike path one into southern part of Flagstaff, people are just dumped onto 4 lane road with barely any shoulder and no marked bike lanes Interstate 17 Where McConnell Rd. travels under the I-17 onto the Northern Arizona University campus there is a lot of foot and bike traffic that uses the south side of the road. There is no sidewalk or crosswalks and students end up biking/walking between the guard rail and the car traffic. If there was a sidewalk with crosswalks at the entrance and exit to the I-17 I feel this would be a much safer crossing. Interstate 17 Not able to bike on this road in metro areas which is understandable but how do you get to those places on this freeway where you can? Interstate 17 There is not a safe way to travel by bike from Camp Verde to Rim Rock. This stretch of highway could use a seperate access road or bike/hike lane. Interstate 17 I-17 overpass at McConnell Drive in Flagstaff. This area is used by over 1000 pedestrians and bikes daily to access NAU and Flagstaff. The area is very hazardous and in great need of improvements. Interstate 17 Round-about dangerous at Happy Valley & I17. Interstate 17 The trash needs to be picked up. We're starting to look like Tijuana. Interstate 17 Example: Bridge over I-17 near Flagstaff Airport and 89A is inbetween a large County Park, and the Flagstaff Urban Trail System (trail system continues in park as well). ADOT recently updated the bridge, and still failed to provide a bicycle/walking path. Pedestrians have to endure greater risk because of the gap the bridge makes inbetween two sides of the very popular, citywide Flagstaff urban trail. Interstate 17 Why does IH-17 only allow bicycles in some areas but not others? Except in urban areas, interstates should accommodate cyclists and pedestrians. For example, no bicycles allowed on IH-17 north of McGuireville. Interstate 17 Bicycles not allowed on the Interstate, and because of traffic the city roads are dangerous to

Question No. 6: Choose a state highway you would like to comment on. State Highway Comment ride next to the vehicles. Interstate 17 I-17 Exits 242 & 244, Black Canyon City, AZ. There is NO Public Transportation or access roads to commute to New River, Anthem or Metro Phoenix. The commute is too far for even a fit adult to walk or bicycle, let alone children or elderly people. Even if there was a bike path ON the freeway, I WOULD NEVER USE IT because traffic is traveling at 75 MPH, roads are curve & I don't want to loose my life because someone took their eyes off the road for a spit second (highly likely). Interstate 17 I-17 is dangerous for cars and is surely not safe for bicycles. Interstate 17 Between Flagstaff and Munds park, consistent maintenance of highway shoulders would improve bicycle safety. Additionally, an urban trail exists between Fort Tuthill and Flagstaff, but this trail is too rough for commuting with a road bike, and is not currently safe for young children to commute to school. Interstate 17 Between Flagstaff and Sedona area I would like to see a bike and hiking/walking path that connects at various intervals with a bus route so that tourists and locals could more easily visit the sites along this route. Interstate 17 In Flagstaff where I-17 ends and become Milton Road. This road has no shoulder and no bike lanes. It is not safe for cyclists. Also, the large cutouts for business entry makes for an unsafe journey for pedestrians. A substantial re-work would be required to make this safe for cyclists and pedestrians. Interstate 17 The urban section of this freeway from Bell Road to Interstate 10 is a nightmare, much like Denver's US 6 Freeway from downtown to Kipling Road. A total overhaul of making the frontage roads into extra lanes, separate from the inner six lanes, like Toronto's 12-laner, with the on and off ramps on the outer lanes, may help that, but the costs would probably be prohibitive. Interstate 17 The inner city highway isn't wide enough to accommodate the non-auto traffic safely! Interstate 17 I've seen people walking & bicycling on the shoulder from Kachina Village/Mountainaire I-17 Exit 333 to the City of Flagstaff (10 miles or less). This is a great example of the vision you are "trying" to put in-place -oops- ALREADY in place! The main problem here is that there is NO Public Transportation (with or without bicycle carriers) from Exit 333 to Flagstaff, or access roads leading into Flagstaff. If there was, I don't think you would see people walking or bicycling down the freeway! Interstate 17 (continued from above) Also, there is a bike lane that only starts under the underpass, so before that it is unclear whether bicyclists should be in the main lane or on the shoulder. If they stay on the shoulder they will be in the way of motorists trying to get on the on ramp to I17 South. This is a very dangerous area that could use more signage, lighting, and ideally a sidewalk on the south side of the street. Interstate 17 You have to go too far north of 101 to be able to ride towards Flag b/c bicycles are not allowed until you get further north and there aren't frontage roads the whole way. Interstate 17 Hwy 17, leaving Sedona area --- the turnoff to the landfill is always trashed with what falls off the trash trucks. Interstate 17 improve seperation between bike movement and motorist for safety. Interstate 17 Near Flagstaff - limited space for non-motorized travel, often feels dangerous. Interstate 17 This should be set up for cycling from the 202 to Flagstaff. Interstate 17 Needs separate bike path protected with guard rails etc. Interstate 17 Just South of Flagstaff. At one point I had a map from ADOT about where/which state highways that bicycles could ride. I had a friend who had the map, was on the correct area of I-17 to ride and was "pulled over" by the patrol and told to get off the highway. My friend pulled out the map to no avail.

Interstate 19 West frontage road Continental and south in Green Valley: bicycle lanes with good marking needed! Interstate 19 The shoulder section from Aqua Linda to the next exit south (the border patrol section) needs to be kept free of debris. This is only biking path south to Tubac from Green valley. Several times, during an event in Tubac, a large electronic sign blocked the shoulder forcing bikers into the highway lane. Make sure that these signs are next to the shoulder rather than in it. Interstate 19 Continental Road to Tubac - both East and West Frontage roads Interstate 19 The EFR and WFR between Exit 63 and Nogales has very few sections of paved shoulders. The section between Exit 63 and Rio Rico needs priority to add paved shoulders. Interstate 19 Southbound between Agua Linda and Chavez Siding exits is heavily used by cyclists. Recent re-paving activities seem to have left a lot of debris and stones in the shoulder where we ride,making it much more difficult than it used to be. Please get it cleaned, and try to assure that shoulders and bike lanes regularly used like this are maintained to a level that keeps them safe for cycling. Thanks for asking. Interstate 19 Creating a shared use bicycle and pedestrian path along I-19 would be fantastic. Interstate 19 Add bike lanes where missing on Frontage Road of I-19 from Continental in Green Valley to Rio Rico. Interstate 19 Great route but not used due too poor roads Interstate 19 No bicycles on Interstate highways 19 & 10

Business 6th ave and BR 19 area in Tucson. Signage is confusing as it doesn't seem to consider Route 19 different routes. Heading south on 6th, the bike route sign points right at Irvington, leading the rider to think they should go right, when in fact a bike path route continues down 6th.

Business Improve bike lanes along Milton Road. Most dangerous road in Flagstaff. Route 40

Interstate 40 Between Flagstaff and Williams it would be nice to have a connecting route that has bike lanes clearly marked out. Interstate 40 I use to bike to work from Flagstaff to Bellemont using I-40 (MP 185 - MP 201). No more. The shoulder is no longer suitable for bikes. Interstate 40 From Beale St to Andy Devine in kingman Interstate 40 The highway between Winslow and Flagstaff has limited and dirty shoulders. It has been improved recently, but debris is still a major issue. Interstate 40 dirty shouler milepost 1-60 something Interstate 40 please sweep and maintain this area more frequently. Widening, signage and awareness are also needed on the route. Interstate 40 Between Kingman and Flagstaff. Creative use of Historic Route 66 alignments with the addition of some paved multi-use paths could create a world class touring route that could be used locally as a commuter route from outlying communities. Interstate 40 Needs separate bike path protected with guard rails etc. Interstate 40 At this time I do not feel safe riding on any Arizona interstates. I am not sure what would change this perception -- maybe feeling a better perception of drivers toward cyclists, maybe better maintenance so I'd be less likely to get a flat tire, maybe more safety measures (parallel but divided from traffic by barriers/etc). I think other state highways are better worth

State Route 51 Indian School Road / 51 near 17th going down indian, over (rather under the over pass) of the 51 is dangerous at that particular intersection of local and freeway on and off ramp traffic. For one people trying to get on and off have to turn/merge on and yet there is no stopping of flow for them or pedestrians or bikers who (at many directions) may not see them. State Route 51 Are there bike routes which run parallel to SR 51? Are they connected? If so, please raise awareness. If not, build them. State Route 51 We live near the 51 and regularly use the paved pathway along the highway to bike and run. It is wonderful - but we would like to see it mainted a bit more, especially after a big rain, the washes will wash up lots of debris making it difficult to use the underpasses. State Route 51 Virginia was able to plan ahead and build a parallel bike lane on the Metro DC highway 66 that connects the suburbs of Norther Virginia to DC. This should have been done on AZ SR 51, instead you used existing roads. Again, on AZ 101 a opportunity missed. Every highway built in AZ misses the mark. It seems that when cyclist are being considered you are only thinking of the kids riding to school. It's much too difficult to plan a route to work that is safe and direct. State Route 51 unfinishe bike paths, not conecting to other pathways State Route 51 I would like to see light rail constructed along Route 51. State Route 51 Extend bike lane south from Shea Blvd to I-10 interchange State Route 51 at Colter Street. It is difficult to get into the neighborhood on the east side of this interchange. Suggest having some sort of gate or gap to shorten the trip. State Route 51 Build pathway along Highway 51 between 32nd St/Shea and Thunderbird. Would require three pedestrian overpasses (32nd St, Shea, Cactus) and construction of pathway inside the freeway sound wall. State Route 51 The multi-use path along SR 51 is amazing. It goes from Loop 101 until about Sweetwater. Then it requires navigating local streets to get to a great multi-use path adjacent to SR 51 @ 32nd Street to Northern. It would be great if the paths between SR 51 @ Sweetwater and SR 51 @ 32nd Street were completely connected.

US 60 NW of Sun City to Loop 303. Bike lanes should have been put in when this portion of 60 (Grand Ave.) was widened. Parts of this road are stripped, but not specifically for bike lanes. US 60 I dont know the exact location, but it's between Superior and Globe. I often find bicyclists in that area and the shoulder isn't wide enough for them. It is scary and I get nervous that I may not see them one day and hit them. US 60 Crossing the highway in Sun City appears to be dangerous for both ped and bike. The highway should include rapid transit to downtown Phoenix. US 60 From Bell Road to the 303. This would be an ideal place to start. Many folks like to bike already in this area, and would ride to work if safe. US 60 Grand Avenue through the Sun Cities, Peoria, and Glendale, is an example of an urban state highway that needs multi-use paths separated from the roadway. With an elderly population, it is also a terrific route for a light rail to downtown Phoenix. US 60 This would seem to be a natural bike route since it connects to local routes but facilities are lacking on the road itself.

US 60 The highway adjacent to Silly Mountain (between Mountain View Rd and Superstition Mountain Drive is NOT bike friendly. The roadway was just resurfaced a few months ago and was slightly widened in drainange area. However, the space available for bikes is too narrow and in a couple bridging areas it is only a foot across exposing the bicyclist to potiential injury with motor vehicles. US 60 From Surprise to Phoenix. My issue is with all the improvements provided, where is the bike/ped path or walkways??? This is a major commuting corridor for multiple communities to downtown Phoenix. It has a railroad that parallels the roadway. Not only is there nearly zero bike/ped access, but no passenger train commuting? US 60 Between 88 and 79 there are bridges and guard rails that force bikes into traffic with no warning. The first time I rode thru that section, i found myself squeezed into traffic before I could react. US 60 US 60/Grand Ave between McDowell and Van Buren should have a strong complete streets feel to bolster the new art and small business community. US 60 The new work on this road DID NOT consider cyclist. No shoulder and a curb! Very disappointing! US 60 Gold Canyon area. Your paving is complete crap. Shoulders are bumpy and full of trash. The rumble strip is dangerous to cyclists. US 60 There are not bike paths from Loop 101 in Peoria to downtown Phoenix. There are some isolated areas that have sidewalks and other spots of vacant land that people have create paths along side the road. There are also no shoulders in either direction. I suggest to widen the corridor by adding a shoulder or bike path along one side of the road. I am not sure of how much right of way the state has in this area so this may be an issue. US 60 Widen bike lane from Superior to Globe. US 60 Provide a shared use path from Apache Junction to Tempe US 60 The cross walk going down College Ave. over the highway is really awesome for walkers and bikes. We should have more of these around the valley available to provide for easy crossing busy highways. US 60 I can't ride from apache junction to Gold Canyon now safely since the stupid rumble strips are there on the side. This is a recognized Adventure Cycling Route too! Terrible US 60 Grand Avenue from I-10 out to Wickenburg is deadly to ride. Filthy shoulders make it impossible to ride at any safe distance from traffic. The traffic flies by at dizzying speeds, and rarely do I see any type of speed/safe driving enforcement (or police presence) on the 60. Please make this road safer for those of us who ride! US 60 From the end of Superstition Freeway, there are no bike trails on US 60. This is supposed to be the designated route for bikes and it is beyond dangerous. US 60 Convenient connection to Apache Junction. US 60 Bicycle crossings of Grand are almost impossible and are very unsafe. US 60 Globe High School Crossing.....get the darn Hawk system installed before it is too late...... US 60 GoldCanyon Need room to ride when going over dry wash US 60 wickenburg rebuilt their roads with circles on the highway and flowers/planters in town and gave no consideration for cyclists. bummer US 60 From mile marker 30, Brenda, AZ to MM 105, Wickenburg, AZ the highway is crowded with Bicycles, automobiles, RV's, Trucks and motorcycles. Bicycles show little regard for other traffic and feel they have unlimited right-of-way. They do not use the highway shoulder as they feel it has to many cracks, bumps, gravel, glass, etc. They are a danger to themselves and other vehicles on the highway.

State Highway Comment States and Canada, blinking yellow lights that are activated ONLY when light is about to change from green, indicating that vehicle passing that point will not clear the intersection before the light changes, would be far more effective at reducing rear-end collisions and fatalities at these intersections US 60 Grand Avenue from the 101 to Wickenburg needs to be made safer US 60 Needs safe bicycle/pedestrian path from Apache Junction to beyond Peralta Trail. US 60 Between Superior and Globe. Bicycles should be banned from this area until improvements are made. No shoulders available, much of it guard-railed, forcing bikes out into traffic lanes, much of it is passing lane, so vehicles are travelling at a wide variety of speeds, and many curves in the passing lanes have limited visibility, due to the rock cliffs. US 60 on 39th Ave and U. S. 60. 39th ave ends going South and pedestrians will often cross here(going South), cross the railroad tracts and connect to 39th Ave. on the southside of the Railroad tract.

US 60 1) Need a bike shoulder all the way from Showlow to Springerville US 60 From I10 to Meridian Road Needs an off-road shared-use pedestrian/bike path that parallels the freeway to provide an efficient path with few road crossings. US 60 No bikes paths next to anywhere on US 60. Suggest access/frontage roads as bike paths. US 60 Wickenburg, shoulders badly deteriorated, forced out into traffic, no shoulders or lanes going through Wickenburg. US 60 There are no sidewalks or shoulder along Grand Avenue in the area between Olive Ave. and McDowell Road, making it very dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. Pedestrians often walk in the traffic lane because there is nowhere else for them to go, and it is not well lit. US 60 Bell RD to Wickenburg - shoulder not very wide in places US 60 where 60 goes down into the salt river canyon and up the other side is too narrow and not wide enough.

US 60 from Superior to Globe, there is not a wide enough shoulder on this route. US 60 In cycling out toward Globe bicycles are banned from the easiest and most direct route on 60. A detour around that portion near the casino that adds 20-30 miles to the route and weaving through city streets. US 60 Sun City to Wickenburg has had the shoulders improved, yet needs more work to finish the ride all the way in safety. This system needs to be connected with a loop involving AZ 74 (needs shoulder) so cyclists can ride a loop from Phx to Wickenburg US 60 From Apache Junction to Globe. I am very ambitious; I believe the US 60 was improved two or three years ago but I am not sure the bicycle lanes situation. I do not go that route on bicycle because it is not bicycle friendly.

State Route 64 Beeline Highway?? See note above.

State Route 66 Through Flagstaff, a lot has been done to improve this route -- the joint work with Flagstaff FUTS has been great, but the route still lacks some connectivity between west side of town and east side of town. State Route 66 The bike path in Flagstaff along Route 66 from downtown to the east is a great example of safe dual purpose (ped/bike) planing and execution. State Route 66 SR 89/66 and Switzer Canyon Dr. needs a bike crossing on the E side so that bikes enter Switzer on the right. Same problem exists at several other 89/66 crossings. State Route 66 West of Flagstaff has nowhere for pedestrians to go and no crossings State Route 66 Downtown Flagstaff needs an overpass or underpass across Rt. 66. I ride it daily and sometimes it is scary to interface with the car traffic there. State Route 66 Flagstaff portion of historic route 66 west of milton rd does not have have wide bike lane the further west you travel. As with the downtown section of Route 66 including NO bike lane on the large curve under the Train Overpass. State Route 66 Between Sitgreaves Pass & Shinarump (Oatman to Kinman) State Route 66 Insufficient Shoulders/bike lanes. Many long distance cyclists utilize this roadway in the Kingman district. State Route 66 the train track underpass on milton in flagstaff is not a safe route for any bikes, for that matter. bikers must navigate the steep steps on the west side of the highway or risk mixing with the busy traffic. even traveling the side walk to the phoenix street is dangerous in that many cars zip off milton to avoid the busy traffic and endanger bikers on the side of the road. we need a safe train track under/over pass at the old town springs crossing to avoid this dangerous road. State Route 66 Although the bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure is good most of route 66, there is a tricky area nearby downtown Flagstaff where 66 dips under the railroad tracks and turns into Milton road. This is a dangerous area to navigate on bike, which often leaves myself and others crossing several lanes of traffic by bike to get to a safe area. A safer route in this area would be excellent. State Route 66 State route 66 in Flagstaff near Woody Mountain Campground, woody mountain road. has many pedestrians that walk next to the road the sidewalks start and stop on both sides of the road. Could one contingous sidewalk be installed on one or the other side of the road, so that you don't have to switch back and forth and cross walks are minimal in that area. Thanks for reading my letter of concern. Michael Grundt State Route 66 There are extremely few opportunities to cross in a crosswalk in Flagstaff. The bike path is too narrow in several locations in the east side of town. Also the stampede of two ton SUVs and cars that are rarely occupied by more than one person ruins my soundscape. Discourage driving here. Consider light rail. State Route 66 West Route 66 in Flagstaff. Poorly maintained for nonexistent shoulders for bicyclists. When bikes have to ride erratically to avoid rough areas in the pavement, they find themselves merging with traffic at 45mph. Not fun!

This is a part of our history and attracts people from all over the world. More effort must be invested in keeping it up. State Route 66 Near Flagstaff - limited space for non-motorized travel, often feels dangerous. State Route 66 From Kingman to Seligman, esp from Beale St I-40 interchange to the Kingman Airport State Route 66 Flagstaff - Railroad Underpass - no shoulder for bicylists. Only option is to ride as quick as possible through this section to not get squeezed. Options are easier going northbound to cross railroad at Beaver or San Francisco Streets however southbound there is a lot of crossing traffic to get around this spot. State Route 66 I have walked a decent stretch of Historic Rt 66 through Flagstaff, and I have to say that the road condition is pretty decent and well marked through most of the stretch. State Route 66 Flagstaff area. Ridiculous amount of lights and traffic. Narrow bike lane, not respected by motorists. Sidewalks are dangerous to bike (namely, large sidewalk on side of road). No bicycle awareness signs. State Route 66 Make is a destination roadway as some other states have created. You could generate income and make it another attraction for those who remember the scenic route. State Route 66 Incomplete bike pathway within Flagstaff

There is a wide concrete median to prevent head on collisions and relatively small shoulders. One runner was hit and killed when it was not fully light. State Route 69 69 Off I17 going towards Prescott. It needs a bicycle lane. State Route 69 As noted above, there is very poor bike/ped access between Prescott & Prescott Valley. State Route 69 Between Prescott and Prescott valley State Route 69 Great multi-use path next to Highway, but WAY too many stop lights for a highway, there should have been a complete and fully functioning frontage road system built and used leaving the highway for highway travel. State Route 69 Prescott Valley to Cordes Junction, bicycle/equestrian improvements are needed in the rural stretches of the highway. Traffic along this highway often exceeds the 65mph limit and with the many curves and hills, it creates low sight visibility and bicyclists/equestrian riders are too close to the paved roadway. State Route 69 In Prescott Valley- Reduce # of traffic signals by making mortor vehicles drive on frontage roads. Provide underpasses for bikes and peds. State Route 69 Beeline Highway??

State Route 74 Carefree highway between 17 and Lake Pleasant has some spots that bottleneck to have rumble strips (that are impossible to ride across) across the entire shoulder. Even an eight inch flat swath in these spots would keep cyclist from having to choose between a dangerous riding surface or a high speed traffic lane. State Route 74 about half of shoulders on the carefree hwy are aweful for bikes also need additional signs for motorist to share the road. from US 60 to I-17 State Route 74 A safer bike lamer would be wonderful on Carefree hwy State Route 74 All 30 miles are too narrow for bicyclists and cars to coexist safely, especially with the poor condition of roadway and sides at many locations. State Route 74 Just past the lake pleasant marina, the shoulder is very poorly maintained and has speed ridges, forcing cyclists to ride in the road. State Route 74 Morristown to I-17. High use for bicyclists. Could use separate bike lane. Could be coordinated with Peoria, Phoenix, and Maricopa County. Local triathlon clubs and bike clubs could be used to raise funds for improvements. State Route 74 lots of debris on the shoulders of the entire route State Route 74 From Wickenburg passing I17 to Scottsdale, It needs a bicycle shoulder and better signs. State Route 74 This highway between I17 and US60 the shoulder is in poor condition. State Route 74 No consistent bike lane and pavement conditions are poor State Route 74 Important: Going down hill to the base of the river coming into Lake Pleasant, the side of the road due to no maintenance is very on safe and due to other older rumble strips or no space left coming into the bridge, you are force into fast driving trucks. It' has happen two times, that a truck has to move out of his lane, to prevent an accident. State Route 74 The debris on Hwy 74 (Carefree Hwy) makes it impossible to ride on. Glass, tire carcass, metel etc is all extremely dangerous. The shoulder is in poor condition to ride so cyclists end up riding in the lane as the only alternative. Need signage there also to watch for cyclists and share the road. State Route 74 74 is good but geeting to it is hard on a bike. Please construct a shoulder on Lake Pleasent Road from Loop 101 to state route 74. State Route 74 SR74 has a wide shoulder, but most of the shoulder contains wide rumble strips making it difficult to ride particularly from Wickenburg to Lake Pleasant area. This same section of shoulder is very rough with significant raised asphalt every 5 to 10 feet making challenging to ride. State Route 74 From Highway 60 to the Lake Pleasant turn-off there are nice wide shoulders but they have not been maintained. There are frost cracks and humps and it is very tempting to bicycle in the road to avoid them. State Route 74 VERY Rough for cyclist - areas of narrow shoulder State Route 74 The area right at the dam, where there is a transition from new to older pavement. There is a problem with a diminishing shoulder and a poorly placed rumble strip. Mostly on the north side as it heads down hill.

State Route 77 Between Eagle Crest Ranch Blvd and East Golder Ranch Drive has no shoulder for cyclists.

Many times I have had to take evasive action to prevent being hit by a motor vehicle, including being run into the curb by turning vehicles. Proposed improvement plans for that ingersection do not seem to make the turning movements for bicycles from the east or the west wanting to turn north onto Hwy 778. State Route 77 Oracle Rd section of Rte 77 extending through the town of Catalina needs wider bike lanes. Cyclists have to avoid this section for safety reasons. Run the street sweepers along N. Oracle Rd. on a regular basis. State Route 77 In the Town of Catalina there are shops on both sides of SR77 and a path on the east side of SR77, but no way for a pedestrian to safely cross to the west side. State Route 77 The Tuscon portion of this route needs sidewalks. It is full of businesses along its path. People could walk to their destination if there were safe sidewalks. State Route 77 older traffic signals on Oracle (at Rancho Vistoso Blvd and Wilds Rd. etc.) do not recognize bicyclists stopped at the intersection. State Route 77 MP 75-ish to MP 104. Recent repavements or improvements have removed the rumble strip from the shoulder. Why? Now the ped or cyclist is completely dependant on car to avoid them. The audible shoulder helps alert the person, regardless of the car. State Route 77 Catalina: Narrow shoulders often littered with debris; overgrown vegetation blocking path State Route 77 There is a two mile gap in bike route between River Rd and Roger which forces cyclists to be biking in unmarked lane. Since cyclists are technically prohibited from sidewalks, cyclists and vehicles can be much closer than clearly delineated lane markings. I take this path weekly. State Route 77 Shoulder are falling apart. They have not been overlayed in at least 10 years between Mammoth and Winkelman. State Route 77 We need a good bike lane thru Catalina. State Route 77 Hwy needs bike lanes through the town of catalina State Route 77 Between Mammoth and Winkleman, the shoulder is so rough that bicycles (any vehicle for that matter) cannot safely travel on it. The shoulder is nearly a full lane, so motorists expect bicycles to use it. But we can't. The speed limit is 70 mph, and bicycles are forced into the main lanes. Adding to all this, the area is not bicycle friendly. This route is the only way north of the Tucson area for bicycle tours into the White Mountains. State Route 77 Always a mess with glass gravel and nails...back to that maintenance thing...Also, the cuts in the asphalt or indicators suck, they are a hazard to cyclists. State Route 77 Add bike lanes north of Roger Road. State Route 77 There are not enough paved shoulder lanes for safe bicycle/motorist usefrom MP170 south to Winkelman.

State Route 77 Provide bike lanes and rumble strips from Oracal Junction to Florence State Route 77 SR 77 from roughly Grant RD in Tucson through until the Northernmost intersection of American Ave in Oracle has wide bike lanes. After this point, riding a bicycle on SR 77 Northbound is ill-advised, because there is absolutely no bike lane and motorists don't pay any attention for bicycle riders. Having bike lanes (or a shared use path, which would be difficult considering the terrain) would make it possible to ride a bicycle from Tucson all the way to Globe.

State Route 77 Keep the bike lane clean of debris State Route 77 Lack of shoulders for bicycle travel State Route 77 Between Tucson and Oracle Junction -- route is great! Like the wide shoulders and rumble strips. If anything, just continue frequent maintenance to ensure road debris does not become an issue State Route 77 I was riding on highway 77 from Globe to Show Low recently. Many areas have rideable, unrideable, and lack of any shoulder. Several of the unrideable shoulders were because crack maintenance was not preformed. Other sections have many derbies one had to avoid. Most of the derbies were rocks that fell off the hillside. For these sections a barrier needs to be placed to keep falling rocks onto the shoulder. State Route 77 north of the tucson cycling mecca, there's no good route to globe or points north or south. the country is very scenic and rolling (elgin) and would make great cycling except for inconsistent shoulder widths. State Route 77 Another area needing attention is the guard rails; having a ridable four foot shoulder straddling a guardrail that is less than a foot from the roadway edge line does not provide a safe riding facility for cyclist. Every guard rail which restricts the shoulder to less than four feet must be moved back to provide a four foot shoulder. State Route 77 Provide bike lanes and rumble strips from The Biosphere to San Manuel State Route 77 Oracle Road, Hwy 77 has seen some improvements close to Tucson and is scheduled for the next phase in 12 to 18 months. The completed work is good but does not get sufficient cleaning in the bike lanes. Glass, metals etc. all get blown to the bike lane so sweeping or vacuuming needs a higher priority.

The rumble stripping makes it even harder to decide as cyclist where to ride. If I ride the shoulder and run into debris, then I am forced to decide to risk riding the debris or the rumble strip. State Route 79 The line of sight and geometry leave little room for error with the landscape, open range and cyclists using the roadway.

State Route 80 State Route 80 from the intersection at Route 90 through to Bisbee needs a better shoulder. State Route 80 Heading North on highway 80 from Tombstone to Bisbee the shoulder has become unrideable due to the lack of crack maintenance.

MANY people use this area to train and do tours, yet the roads are not always maintained or do not have wide enough bike lanes. MORE tours and training could be done in these area, drawing in more revenue, if the road were better equipped to handle cyclist traffic.

State Route 83 This hwy is used by many cyclists and pedestrians. Lighting could definitely help this hwy. State Route 83 When repaving (From I-10 to SR82) or chip sealing extend the material to cover the whole roadbed, including the shoulder that is used for bicycling. State Route 83 I bicycle often on Hwy. 83 and I have to drive to mile marker 44 to begin my ride because of the lack of shoulder north of there. Whenever the road gets paved the new paving stops somewhere between the lined edge and the dirt. The paving should extend to the end of the existing paving. It would be a lot safer for bicyclists who like to use the shoulder. State Route 83 There are no bike lanes on SR83 between Tucson and Sonoita. State Route 83 The entire length of this highway has little to no shoulder. Those who ride it ride at their own risk. I often ride sections of it south of Sonoita but do so for short sections only as I spend most of the time riding dirt roads due to the narrowness of the highway. It's a beautiful road and many sections of it would best be appreciated at speeds far less than typical automobile speed. State Route 83 State Route 83 between I-10 and Sonoita is an excellent cycling route in terms of terrain and scenic vistas, etc. However, the mountainous part of this section has high speed limits and relatively low visibilty. Widening the shoulder by a few feet would improve safety signifcantly. State Route 83 The whole length from I-10 to Sonoita. Recent repaving efforts have made sections (though thankfully wider) incredibly rough. This beautiful road is used by tour ompanies, and would have far more cycling traffic if it had a bike lane, helping the communities of Sonoita, Elgin, and Patagonia. State Route 83 This route needs to be more bike friendly by adding better shoulders and enhancing speed enforcement along the route. There are frequently conflicts between racing cars, speeding motorcyclists, slow trucks, cattle in the road, border patrol activities, and recreational bike riders. This is a stunningly beautiful route, but also a death trap. State Route 83 From Sonoita south to Parker Canyon Lake. There is no shoulder, either side. State Route 83 This highway in general should have wider shoulders between I-10 and Elgin. As access to the Arizona Wine country this road has the potential for a strong tourist attraction. State Route 83 When the shoulder is unrideable & the road gets resurface the new surface needs to extend to the edge of the shoulder. On hwy 83 from Sonoita heading north, ADOT repaved the road & only half of the shoulder. Giving the cyclist a two foot shoulder to ride on gives the motorist the illusion it is safe to pass a cyclist at 55 mph with less than three feet of passing distance. All of the shoulder should have been repaved giving the cyclist a four foot de facto bicycle lane. State Route 83 Bike lane from I-10 to Sonoita. State Route 83 Paved shoulders are desperately needed from I-10 to Sonoita. State Route 83 Shoulder too narrow in spots to be safe, especially since this road has so many winding areas and has a lot of fast moving cars on it. State Route 83 Beautiful road but not very safe for bicycles. A more substantial shoulder would be very welcome. From I-10 to Sonoita. State Route 83 About 10 miles north of Sonoita, there is a long stretch of windy road without shoulders. This is a high use road for cyclists, on day trips to Sonoita or multi-day tours to Bisbee and the surrounding area. State Route 83 SR83,mp 44 north to I-10 has no shoulder at several points endangering cyclists and some blind corners. 091374045 ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update 2012 08 23 Update WP3 198 Working Paper No. 3 August 2012

Sahuarita Rd to Hwy 52 State Route 83 and State Route 82 should be improved for better cycling. MANY people use this area to train and do tours, yet the roads are not always maintained or do not have wide enough bike lanes. MORE tours and training could be done in these area, drawing in more revenue, if the road were better equipped to handle cyclist traffic. State Route 83 shoulder is nice and wide for the most part all the way to Payson but it is not maintained well (e.g. not smooth) and always has lots of debris State Route 83 needs wider shoulders from Parker Canyon Lake to I-10

State Route 84 Along most of the route, the road is quite bumpy, which makes riding more perilous as the ride goes from Marana Rd exit (MP236 on I10) up towards Picacho Peak (MP220). State Route 84 Ned to repave

State Route 85 Between Avondale Blvd. and Estrella Parkway on State Route 85 - there are hardly any sidewalks and the brush is sometimes overgrown onto the street and/or trash on the edge - making it very difficult and dangerous highway to bike on.

State Route 86 There needs to be safe facilities and especially safe crossings through the Town of Sells. State Route 86 Traveling through the Tohono Oodham Nation is hazardous to everyone. The line of sight and geometry leave little room for error with the landscape, open range and pedestrians moving on the roadway. It would be my request that weed control be a priority for at least 4 feet on each side of the roadway. There is little you can do to improve the road but make the visibility better State Route 86 I know it will be widened and repaired until 2013!!? But there are many bumps, cracks and the drive is terrible. I can only imagine for cyclists who do use State highway 86. Can this project begin sooner? I've lived near Camino Verde and Ajo Hwy 86 since 2003 and I'm tired of the terrible road. State Route 86 Residents -- including children -- of Sells need a safe crossing. State Route 86 Ajo Way between Mission and Sandario - the shoulder is AWFUL. Very bumpy and difficult to ride on. Needs to be repaved. State Route 86 This highway is very dangerous for those who bike or walk. While there is an edge on this road, there is no offset for these users and there have been numerous deaths and injuries. State Route 86 This highway generally has a great shoulder but it could use some maintenance and cleanup as there is often pot holes or debris along the road that are dangerous to cyclists. State Route 86 Keep the bike lane clean of debris State Route 86 Between Tucson and intersection with 286 -- oute is great! Like the wide shoulders and rumble strips. If anything, just continue frequent maintenance to ensure road debris does not become an issue State Route 86 Repair bike lanes and rumble strips from Ajo and Kenny to Three Points

State Route 87 Payson's traffic on this hwy is awful esp. on weekends and holidays. You take your life in your own hands to cross this hwy. Same with the 260. State Route 87 Need shoulders for southbound just south of Payson State Route 87 Great progress on the shoulder. Can we get it all the way to Pason? State Route 87 It is not unusual to see 1-30 riders going north out of Payson headed for Strawberry or further - the Rim. The reality is they believe they can ride on the main highway (yes, I know it's legal and the law) and they do. This roads is not wide enough for them plus vehicles traveling north/south....They are a huge hazard and they just don't give a fat rats ass....I'm sick of them!!! I find in incongruous that you NEVER EVER see a sign to tell riders to stay on the shoulder ONLY!

State Highway Comment State Route 87 Shoulder is sometimes wide and great, but by signal peak road to past Sacton there are section that are narrow with large defects. State Route 87 Beeline - improve vertical access with switch back in steep vertical change toward the rim country. State Route 87 In Payson - there is not a safe place to ride on 87 - sides of the road are too narrow & traffic circle @ Airport Road is dangerous to manuever on a bike. Most of the time, one has to be in the traffic lane due to lack of adequate side to road or lack of maintanence of the side - sometimes it is just not cleaned. There is a bike path on McLane that runs parallel but it only goes 1/2 way through town and is usually covered in debris or has road blocks such as people's garbage cans. State Route 87 No shoulder on south bound from the Payson Casino down the hill. Forced to ride on the road. Also the shoulder both directions along the hill is very dirty and riders are forced to choose! Just road this route 2 days ago! State Route 87 As we lose safe cycling routes like the hill on Via Linda, cyclists will look to other areas like Beeline Highway for fittness cycling. A well maintaned, clearly signed and clean shoulder will improve safety. State Route 87 North of Payson, especially between Pine and Strawberry. Needs to have a lane for bikers and hikers. The blind curves and drop offs and very dangerous to all parties using the road. State Route 87 Turning into 87 at country club is difficult on bikes. Crusading several lanes of traffic to get to the turn lane its often difficult and intimidating. Then 87 has so many lanes, funding a clean, clear path over is difficult. I usuallyride straight into ther had station, then merge onto 87 when it's clear. State Route 87 The is no pedestrian pathway between Pine and Strawberry even though the two towns are 1 mile apart and most of land between the two towns is public land. State Route 87 It would be helpful to have the shoulder of Beeline hwy swept of debris between McDowell Rd and Bush Hwy turn off. State Route 87 As state earlier, there is no shoulder south bound for about 9 miles ouit of payson and no shoulder leaving payson to pine/strawberry State Route 87 Need shoulders from Payson to Strawberry. State Route 87 From Shea to McDowell, too much road debris. From Shea to Bush Highway, too much road debris. State Route 87 Please add a bike lane State Route 87 Shoulder is often littered with trash and debris, causing hazards to cyclists. Since this is a large cyclist through fare, addressing this would be key. State Route 87 From Ocotillo Rd to Hunt Highway/SR 587 intersection, and continuing southeast to Gilbert Rd. I've noticed many bicyclists riding during the morning rush hour and on weekends, at times this highway has no bicycle lane and/or sidewalk and bicyclists would use the right lane/shoulder as traffic speeds by at 55mph. State Route 87 This has a decent shoulder south of Hunt Hwy, but is often littered with broken glass and tire shards. Also, the shoulder runs out as you get closer to Coolidge. State Route 87 Keep the shoulders debris free and repave! This is a high use area for athletes and it becomes very dangerous with debris on the shoulder and the condition of certain sections is deplorable. I'm sorry that I do not have exact location of the highway but pretty much up till Payson is potentially rideable, but shoulders need to be wider and cleaner. State Route 87 Between the Mcdowell Rd turn off of the 87 and the Bush Highway maintence of the shoulder could be improved by removing debris on a regular basis.

State Route 87 Mile 299 to 305. And Mile 290 thru 299. I ride to work every day on the 299 t0 305 section and there is no shoulder at all past the white line. When two cars, or trucks meet there just isn't any room at all. State Route 87 Payson to Pine - Improvement of shoulders would be great State Route 87 between Battaglia Road north to Hanna Road, vehicles drive over the speed limit. State Route 87 From Country Club to Payson, should have double wide bike lanes on both sides including water/way stations set up every 25 miles.. nothing fancy just functional including shade. State Route 87 The section between Eloy, north past the Villa Grande subdivision. There are no turn lanes. Traffic traveling at 65 mph creates a dangerous situation when someone is turning into the subdivision. There have been accidents, there have been deaths along that stretch of road. Two deaths since November 2011 and May 1, 2012. If a school bus is unfortunate to become involved in an accident because of the lack of turn lanes, that body count could rise much higher. State Route 87 The shoulders in many areas are adequate, but have a lot of debris and uneven pavement that can cause accidents State Route 87 Clean up road debris, post share road signs. State Route 87 The Beeline, this is the Ironman route, event that brings about 2900 triathletes from all over the world and it brings money to the city as well. This shoulders are always dirty with large size trash sometimes and no adequate signage to tell the drivers that there are cyclists on the shoulders. State Route 87 Need emergency water between fort McDowell and payson. Maybe open a water spigot at the closed rest stop at the 188 turnoff or add something at mount ord. Also improve the shoulder between sunflower and mount ord. State Route 87 Out towards Sacaton there is always litter / glass on the road. It causes a ton of flats. The shoulder south of Sacaton become unridable. State Route 87 Side of highway gets a lot of traffic and needs to be cleaned by street sweepers. State Route 87 There are no shoulders at all in either direction for the three miles on SR 87 between Pine & Strawberry, mm 268 to 271. Widening this portion would greatly increase the use of bicycles between these two towns. State Route 87 Between bush highway and beeline. Too narrow by saguaro lake State Route 87 from AZ Avenue to the Pima intersection: glass and debris all along the shoulder from car wrecks State Route 87 From Pine to Winslow the highway lacks adequate road shoulders and has steep dropoffs and rock hazrds along through cuts. There is no reasonable place to pull off the highway ecept at some scattered pullouts that are not warning signed except the one going down the rim toward Strawberry. State Route 87 From McDowell Rd to Fountain Hills - Keeping the shoulders free from debris will allow cyclists to keep as far right as possible. State Route 87 Hwy 87 from Payson to Pine/Strawberry had a shoulder added for a small part of the way but quickly drops off making it extremely dangerous for cyclists. Absolutley no shoulder there around some windy roads where large trucks and motor homes travel frequently. Not enough room for everyone. State Route 87 Bush Highway to Payson State Route 87 Good example of what could bE done. Ftn hills to sunflower wide shoulder and rumble strips are great.

State Route 87 SR87 between McDowell Rd and Shea Blvd (high bicycle traffic year round) contains a high level of debris on a consistent basis (broken glass, trash, branches), as well as some asphalt/concrete debris from road improvements (I've witnessed two crashes/hospitalizations due to this road construction debris left behind by road crews). Perhaps due to the high usage of this shoulder this stretch of road can be cleaned more thoroughly or more often. State Route 87 SR87 has a wide shoulder perfect for riding from Phoenix/Scottsdale to Payson going northbound, but currently there is no safe way to return from Payson going southbound on SR87. It would also be helpful if there was some sort of a waterstation or stop along this route. State Route 87 Payson to Strawberry is a narrow two lane road without a shoulder. It is a very dangerous road for cyclists as the drop-off is abrupt. State Route 87 Shoulder is littered with debris. There is zero signage alerting traffic to cyclists. State Route 87 between route 187 and collidge - no shoulder at all to ride on. State Route 87 Going southbound on 87, between the Bush Highway and the 202, there are always bicyclists which slow traffic down. they should have their own lane all the way to Phoenix. And also on the Bush Highway, there are no shoulders. State Route 87 north of Payson State Route 87 Shoulder is often littered with trash and debris, causing hazards to cyclists. Since this is a large cyclist through fare, addressing this would be key. State Route 87 I frequently ride Bee Line from Fountain hills to Tempe, lots of flats from debris on the shoulder State Route 87 Payson south to Rye. Actually, it's only the first 4-5 miles starting at the Mazatzal Casino going south. There is no shoulder. As a cyclist, I have to ride the white line, which is right on the edge of the road. This is very dangerous. Past the safety area, a wide shoulder begins, but it is not maintained well, so there are usually medium to large rocks and other debris. These are extremely dangerous to a cyclist because our tires are so small. State Route 87 It is not unusual to see 1-30 riders going north out of Payson headed for Strawberry or further - the Rim. The reality is they believe they can ride on the main highway (yes, I know it's legal and the law) and they do.

I find in incongruous that you NEVER EVER see a sign to tell riders to stay on the shoulder ONLY! State Route 87 This route is regularly used by cyclists. West of 187 has a descent shoulder for the majority of it. However, 87 east of 187 needs a major shoulder widening. State Route 87 Near the turn off for Sacaton on the east side of the road the shoulder and rumble strip narrow to a point that a bike is forced to ride in the road. Also the bridge over the Gila river is too narrow. State Route 87 North out of Picacho, I'm looking forwards to the day that this gets repaved. It isn't anywhere near as bad as Mission Road was, though. Those potholes would take you out, and the road was a minefield of them. It looked like every time the road blew a giant pothole, someone would come along and put two tablespoons of asphalt into the hole. We liked to joke that it was maintained by the Beirut Road Department. Ahh, good times. But that got repaved! State Route 87 Between Payson and Strawberry, there are almost no shoulders at all. There is a lot of daily heavy traffic on this road making it extremely dangerous for bicyclists and pedestrians. On the southbound side, one mile north of Payson the recent widening ends. The new guard rail installed at this location forces bicyclists/pedestrians into the traffic lane. State Route 87 from shea to payson. great shoulders for bikes!

Used alot by Bicycles would like to have large signs reminding drivers to share the road. You more watch for deer signs than share the road signs..... State Route 87 From South of Coolidge, to I-10, the speed limit is too fast. It used to be 55 mph, and so people drove at 65 mph. Then when it was raised to 65 mph, people increased their speed to 70+. Rule of thumb should be to post the speed limit lower than you want the traffic to drive. State Route 87 the shoulder is always littered with debris, not just natural debris from vegitation, which is understandable due to the exposed nature of the road, but trash, glass, shreded truck tires. State Route 87 I rode from Scottsdale to Pine on Friday and there are sections of the shoulder which are not ridable and force cyclists onto the road State Route 87 SR 87 between Payson and Pine needs shoulders, more aggressive realignment, and another passing lane. On that entire stretch, from mm 254 to mm 267, there is only one mile where you may legally pass (262-263), so I don't need to tell you how often that double yellow is completely ignored. State Route 87 The shoulder from the 87/187 junction to the point where the 87 and 287 merge is in poor condition. The Shoulder is rough and thin to no existent in sections. The entire stretch needs to be wider and smoother. As it stands, cyclist ride the white line to maintain any form of comfort or safety. Contending with traffic is almost easier than riding the deplorable shoulder conditions found along that section of highway. State Route 87 Bike Lanes on Country Club Drive would be extremely helpful, especially to access LRT when it opens. State Route 87 Shoulders from Fountain Hills to Payson are shamefull in places - and use of Rumble strips (indentations) in the shoulder are dangerous and detrimental to riders (rumbles strips should be on the outside part of the traffic lane, not on the shoulder). State Route 87 South of Jct. 187 about 2 miles there is no shoulder for about 8 or 10 miles. State Route 87 At the junction with State Route 188 the rest stop is basically closed permanently. There are very few water sources for bicyclists and pedestrians for many, many miles. There must be someway the state can find to restore at least the availability of drinking water at this rest stop. State Route 87 Fron Fountain Hill to ???? needs bicycle lanes. State Route 87 Wide shoulders not continuous between Sunflower and Payson State Route 87 Going south on 87, just pasting AZ 187, there is no safe space for riding down to 287. State Route 87 Nice and wide, but no one wants to "Share the Road" here. Education and policing would help. If a campaign were to start on this road, with a heightened presence by DPS to watch what goes on, maybe some drivers (and cyclists) would have better etiquette State Route 87 North going out of Fountain Hills, this has a nice shoulder for a while and then it vanishes, but this seems to be under construction for improvements. If this becomes a viable cycling route, I think it would become popular with the Arizona roadies looking for training miles. State Route 87 The Beeline from Mesa to Fountain Hills is a very popular stretch of road.... Although the shoulders are wide, the road conditions leave a lot to be desired.

State Route 88 Needs lots of work... State Route 88 from apache junction to Canyon Lake needs to be widened. It's one of the most scenic bicycle routes but also one of the most dangerous. Especially in the summertime with boat traffic. State Route 88 This road needs a bike lane or shoulder of some sort. State Route 88 a lot of tight turns with a very small and poorley maintained "shoulder" if you can even call the few inches on pavement to the other side of the white line. State Route 88 very popular cycling route but no bike lane and road is deteriorating. State Route 88 N Idaho Rd & Apache Trail north east to end of pavement past Tortilla Flats. This road has no shoulder to ride bikes on yet is one of the most traveled routes in the Valley. State Route 88 between Apache Junction and Canyon Lake. There are no viable bike lanes in terms of road condition or feet to the right of the white line (perceived bike lane). State Route 88 This highway is scenic and popular because it goes to Canyon Lake. Cyclist are not match for distracted driver on the highway from Apache Junction to canyon Lake. We need a wide bike lane at minimum. A cycling path would be even safer. State Route 88 Not sure if this is the correct State Route - but Bush Hwy & Usery Pass Rd area.... it's an amazing location/route for cyclists, yet there are absolutely NO signs anywhere about Sharing the Road, 3 Feet Please, etc. We cyclists need drivers to be aware that we are probably out on the road, and that we are allowd to be. State Route 88 I've noticed this is a popular riding area to tour and to combine with lake swimming for combined workouts, but I personally refuse to ride this stretch of highway towards the lake because cars are usually speeding around curves and there is absolutely no room for cars to maneuver around pedestrians or cyclists State Route 88 Many brave bicyclists ride from Apache Junction to Tortilla Flat, It is beautiful scenery, but the road is incredibly dangerous for ordinary cyclists. A bike lane shoulder would improve this as a recreational ride. I would not put this as a priority over safe bikeways in Phoenix/Mesa/Gilbert/Chandler. State Route 88 Another great recreational ride that is fraught with bad paving patches and no shoulder. Scary trucks with boat don't even have enough room, much less a recreational cyclist

State Route 89 Highiway 89 east of Flagstaff would be a terrific road to ride if the shoulder/bike lane were wider and kept clean. I would love to see the span between Townsend/Winona Rd and Sunset Crater become a popular place for cyclists to ride. It could definitely be as popular as Lake Mary Rd. with a little work. State Route 89 Section between Flag & the Snowbowl Rd has an inconsistent shoulder. State Route 89 89 narrows to no shoulders after 20 miles north of Flagstaff. This is a corridor typically used by road cyclists and has the high potential for conflicts with vehicles traveling to the Grand Canyon. State Route 89 Just north of Flagstaff and Flagstaff mall...this could be very important commuter route in and out of Flagstaff (including connection from Townsend Winona Rd).

State Route 89 Prescott to Wilhoit I often ride this section of road, and I'm absolutely appalled at the number of times I get passed (often buzzed) by drivers in sports cars or motorcycles driving as fast as they possibly can through the turns. Where the speed limit is 45, often these drivers are pushing 60-70 mph in the straightaways. It's terribly unsafe, and I see zero law enforcement presence here. I realize this is not an ADOT issue per se, but it's definitely general highway safety issue State Route 89 This highway as it leaves Prescott toward Wickenburg has almost no shoulder. The switchback could have wider shoulders and maybe even a barrier between the cars and cyclists. State Route 89 I currently don't ride on a regular basis on a state highway. I have rode on 89 in Prescott and appreciate the wide shoulder, but it is still scary when cars pass. I would love to have access to more of these roads on my bike. The thing that makes a lot of these roads currently unridable is the strips on the shoulder. State Route 89 This highway between Wickenberg and Congress has NO shoulder at ALL. State Route 89 From Prescott to Wilhoit is very dangerous with next to nothing in the way of shoulder. State Route 89 Please remove the rumble strips from 89 specifically from Prescott Airport traveling South towards Watson Lake to downtown Prescott. There is no room for bikes along this stretch of highway and it is a town so there is no longer any need for these strips. State Route 89 The 4 mile stretch east of Alma school- needs a bike lane. This is a very popular route for cyclists and the traffic often comes within a foot of cyclists. State Route 89 I would like to be able to bike from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon. The shoulders need to be improved to allow that to happen.

Maybe creating an off-road parallel path to allow better bike access to Wupatki/sunset crater loop. In my opinion road becomes a dangerous option when speed limit rises to 55 and then 65. State Route 89 Headed from Flagstaff to Page does not allow much room for cyclists. State Route 89 From 89/69 interchange heading north. Maintained bike lanes, please. State Route 89 State route 89 between chino valley and prescott needs to be 4 lanes all the way with a wide shoulder to accommodate bicycle traffic. The commuter traffic is very high and it is too dangerous to use as a bicycle route now. State Route 89 please remove debris. State Route 89 Put in wider shoulders north of Wickenburg to Prescott for bikes. State Route 89 From Prescott to Ashfork has almost no rideable shoulder. State Route 89 This highway, between Flagstaff and Cameron, would be used by bikers if there were wider shoulders. State Route 89 From Congress to Highway 93 there is no shoulder and we rarely use this road due to the amount of high speed traffic and lack of room to manuever.

State Route In Sedona provide a bike lane on 89A through town and slow traffic to 30 MPH 89A State Route Sedona. ADOT's response to "presumed" safety issues has been to focus on more lights 89A and and traffic signals when this failed policy has proved to fail time after time across this country. Traffic calming NEVER comes from these activities. People accelerate from light to light. ADOT continues to ignore the "average speed" on this road is TOO high and follows the same OLD mentality of "flow through" demographics. State Route From flagstaff through sedona to clarkdale, this highway needs a wide shoulder for cyclists. 89A There are often riders but rarely adequate asphalt and space. State Route Between Lake Mary Road and Pine Dell neighborhood in Flagstaff greater area: paved bike 89A lanes needed for safe bicycle/pedestrian commute.

State Route Between Bill Gray Rd and Oak Creek Valley Rd. in the Verde Valley. It can be very 89A frightening to get stranded on this section of road. Bicyclists have been found passed out from heat exhaustion and vehicle breakdowns are common leaving passengers in poor shape. If a couple of water spigots could be set up and clearly labeled, it would be a great help.

State Highway Comment State Route Bike lanes or bigger shoulders would make this road easier traveled for bicyclists. 89A State Route Sedona from Dry Creek Rd to uptown ADOT is installing 108 lights, which will run up our 89A electric bill, but offer minimal pedestrian safety. We need roundabouts and safe pedestrian crossings instead. It is more than a mile between most pedestrian crossings in this stretch of highway. State Route Sedona, specifically West Sedona. The present state route is not wide enough to 89A accomodate a bicycle lane. This is an extremely busy road in the daytime, with vehicles turning in all directions.

It is 89A even worse in Oak Creek Canyon. State Route West Sedona and Uptown via Oak Creek Canyon. There are no bicycle lanes. West Sedona 89A is to get them this year, but I am still concerned that motorists particularly tourists will not see bicyclists using the roadways. It might be appropriate for ADOT to provide audio CDs that car rental agencies can give to the tourist. The tourist would be able to jump to the location that they are headed and be warned of specific concerns in those areas. Rental Car companies might subsidize a program. State Route I know of all the controversy about 89A through West Sedona. The problem is that bike 89A paths are planned to be installed yet there are hundreds of access aprons that will likely make using such lanes more dangerous to cyclists. The light poles will also be likely to cause more devistating accidents. In CA these light poles are being taken out for many reasons including increased accidents from cars driving into them and cyclist hitting them on the side walks. So dumb. State Route Through West Sedona. Needs bike paths. 89A State Route East of Cottonwood - Terrible debris on the shoulder that causes numerous flats in bike tires! 89A State Route SR 89A from Flagstaff to Sedona has very limited bicycle access, in particular as it enters 89A Flagstaff from the south there are stretches with a bike lane that vanishes and re-appears. It would be delightful to be able to ride from Flagstaff to and from Sedona, but that may be difficult to achieve because of the stretch of switchbacks. State Route 89A in West Sedona does NOT need additional lighting! Any lights that are installed should 89A be placed in the median on a single pole with double light arms instead of doubling the number of poles along each side of the road.

Tuthill, I bike commute from 89A Kachina Village into Flagstaff. The 1/2 mile stretch of 89A is dangerous, especially in the summer. There is no shoulder and one long curve is lined with metal railings. So there is not even dirt to fall into when you get clipped. RVs, delivery vans, and pickup trucks use this busy state highway. No one has ever given me the required 3-feet cushion! State Route Mountain Shadows and 89A in Sedona.

State Route The shoulders on 89A between Sedona and Cottonwood need to be swept more often. 89A State Route Between Wickenberg and Congress, continuing up toward Yarnell. Nothing there is safe for 89A hikers/bicyclists unless they walk in the dirt well away from traffic. State Route Highway connecting Flagstaff and Sedona (through Oak Creek Canyon) is very dangerous 89A for cyclists due to lack of designated bike path and little or no shoulder. State Route This needs to have walkways and cross walks. Our tourist are getting run over! They don't 89A use the intersections as they are too far apart from where they want to cross.

US 89A This one is tough, but make the route from Flagstaff to Sedona a safer route through Oak Creek Canyon. US 89A The section between Flagstaff, south to Sedona need wide shoulders as this road is a popular cycling route, not only for local cyclist, but is also often used by cyclist riding across the US. US 89A From the old Jackson's Grill (where Old Munds highway comes in) to Fort Tuthill. I ride from Mountainaire to town and that is the scariest section by far! For that section there is virtually no shoulder and you have to ride along a rail around a corner with a 1/2 foot shoulder and cars going very fast. I would love to see a bike path along the road connecting Old Munds Highway to Fort Tuthill. US 89A Highway between Flagstaff and Sedona is hazardous for both bicycles and automobiles. Bicycles insist on riding this road while obstructing traffic at a considerably slower speed leaving nowhere for the bike to go or the automobiles. US 89A Between the VA center and Prescott Lakes. The shoulder is wide, but often has broken glass and dangerous materials on the side. While this is likely due to individual drivers, enforcing littering fines and educating people would improve this. But cleaning the glass would really help end the many flats I've gotten on my way to Watson Lake :) US 89A Flagstaff-Sedona. Lovely road to bike, but a suicide run. No shoulders, lots of tourists, rockfall. Facilities and campgrounds do not cater to cyclists. No "share the road" signs. US 89A Intersection of Milton/ Rt 66/ US 89A as it goes under a railroad underpass. A narrow road w/o bike lanes, it is a major conduit from north & west Flagstaff to NAU & points south. Very dangerous. There is room to make shoulders, need of bike signage; and a good option to make the sidewalk to the west usable to bikes by removing the steps. The rest of Milton heading south is miserably short of decent bike lanes. Bikes are expected to go way out of their way to accomodate this car-centric road. US 89A Between Ft Tuthill south to Munds old highway. Make sure as this road is redone it has adequate shoulders for biking. Cyclists from Kachina Village and Mountainaire need a better option for riding to town than on the interstate, though many use that rather than 89A because of its narrowness and danger. US 89A Near Flagstaff - limited space for non-motorized travel, often feels dangerous.

Need a tunnel and a path to the Fort Huachuca East Gate. State Route 90 This highway, between Sierra Vista and Huachuca City, has shoulders covered in excessive debris, very often ruining cyclists tires.

State Route 92 Having four foot shoulders for a de-facto bike lane is useless unless you provide maintenance for the shoulder. For example, the shoulders between Coronado monument and Palominas on highway 92 are unrideable. Many years ago cracks developed, pebbles filled the cracks, the contraction of the pavement created small peaks. Every rider I know will ride on the roadway edge line before riding on these shoulders. Even though everyone understands the danger this poses. State Route 92 Sierra Vista Mall to Ramsey Rd intersection. Narrow shoulder that doesn't seem to be ever swept. A street sweeper driving up and down this shoulder once a week would do wonders to enhance the safety of Hwy 92 for cyclists. State Route 92 Starting at Fry Blvd. MP 321, and going south to MP 324, there is a shared use path on the east side of the highway with no traffic control signs or path markings, especially at intersections. As such, bicycle riders are riding the wrong direction, crossing major intersections against red pedestrian lights, and using crosswalks to do it. Drivers intending on turning right are looking to the left and often don't see a bicycle rider approaching from their right. State Route 92 Very limited pathways from the intersection of SR 90 and those that exist change sides of the road making it necessary to cross at dangerous intersections at the entrance of the SV Mall. State Route 92 From the Coronado National Monument Road, east to the south end of Hereford, please fix the cracks and ripples on the shoulder in this area. This surface is extremely hard on cyclists and is very dangerous to ride on. State Route 92 need wider shoulders south of Sierra Vista to Hereford State Route 92 Shared use path parallels SR 92 in Sierra Vista. Every intersection presents an opportunity for a collision.

State Route 92 SR 92 from the intersection with SR 90 in Sierra Vista, south to Kachina (at least) often has pedestrians and although there exist good paths in some areas it is not consistent. I don't know who has the responsibility for the section of SR 92 that lies within the city limits but there are sections here that I used once but won't again because I believe it to be unsafe - particularly sections from Foothill to Avenida Cochise. State Route 92 Within Sierra Vista city limits. Complete the existing multi-use paths to include both sides of the highway. Paths on only one side or the other lead to vehicular conflict and/or non-use. Also, bike lanes need additional sweeping. State Route 92 (Cont from above - ON THE LEFT) Since the shared use path has no markings or traffic control devices, bicycle riders do whatever they want. Additionally, there is no shared use path on the west side of the highway, so that fact alone almost encourages wrong way traffic. In the entire city of Sierra Vista, there is only one small stop sign on a shared use path and it's located at the intersection of Buffalo Soldier Trail and Avenida Cochise. (Not a state highway) This is strange to say the least. State Route 92 south Sierra Vista area, very busy area, could use more multi use paths for walkers and bicyclists.

There is no bike lane between Guadalupe and Chandler Rd, just a shoulder; I always stay withing the shoulder but drivers sometimes yell at me that I have to be on the sidealk. They think they own the road. Perhaps some of those signs that read "Share the Road" would help. Loop 101 Loop 101 and Pima/Princess. I use this underpass about 3 days per week on my bike commute to and from work. Proceeding east bound, there is no indication to drivers when a cyclist is in the (faded) bike lane and the right turn signal for drivers on the offramp remains green. Most of the time drivers are on their cell phones or not even looking left because the turn lane is continuous and does not force the driver to stop or merge with traffic. Loop 101 many places may be unsafe. the intersections are large and the bike lane is not painted thru the intersection. EX - Hayden and 101 in Scottsdale Loop 101 Glendale - near Westgate Center. I can see how Westgate and the Glendale PnR could be destinations for bicyclists. My basic issue is I can't see how bicycle lanes can be integrated with the highway system along the Loop 101. But I am interested to see the recommendations from this study on that particular regional destination. Loop 101 When crossing the 101 overpass on University Drive, I have no bike lane.

There are curb cuts at many of the cross streets making it appear to be a bike path but it is dangerous because there are no crosswalks or signage and the crossings are away from the intersections. This would be a nice trial to provide access to the new bridge around 59th Ave and the recreation area north of Loop 101 if the proper connections can be made. Loop 101 Highway 101 in the north valley at Tatum road is extremely busy. Pedestrians and Bicyclists are largely ignored. Loop 101 need signs on sharing the road with cyclists on roads parallel to freeway Loop 101 Cave Creek Rd to Princess. The frontage road begins/ends at Cave Creek. To get to 56th or Scottsdale or Hayden roads you have to go south to Union Hills (for a road w/ a bike lane) or north to Pinnacle Peak (no bike lane). It happens going N/S on 101 too - frontage roads are short vs. continuous. Loop 101 Any part of the 101 you can not walk or ride a bicycle on the road. Maybe a separate path along side the highway could be made, especially on the south west side where there is plenty of extra room. Loop 101 Would like to see bike lanes adjacent and alongside to and separate from the existing highway system. Loop 101 I live on N 33rd Ave just south of the 101. The sidewalks in the neighborhood go north, curve to meet the 101 and then end. Why can't the state join to the city's sidewalks? And if you do want to walk, you need a machete to hack though the vegetation that was planted with no regard for anyone who wants to walk in the gravel. Loop 101 Price Road has a minimal shoulder SB, and is in poor condition for a road bike. The Rio Salado underpass (is not the only one, certainly, but the one I use most often) does not have a clear path for bicycles, and the re-emergence of the bike lane has a dangerous pothole/grate combination. Loop 101 Provide additional pedestrian / bicycle bridges over the Loop 101 in the West Valley.

Loop 101 Loop 101 from SR 51 to Hayden Road does not provide a multi-use path. If a constant multi- use path were provided it would make it MUCH easier for me to commute to work on my bike by riding along Loop 101 to SR 51. SR 51 has a great multi-use path adjacent to it. Loop 101 The Fry road / 101 overpass heading East. this is pretty easy if you could just extend the marked bike lane it would make it clearer to bikes and drivers where the bike should be. With the right turn for price road it gets a little confusing. Thanks. Loop 101 I wish 101 was more accessibel to Surprise. Although you have to take the 60 to set from where I live. Loop 101 continued from previous comment - ON THE LEFT - (Loop 101 and Pima/Princess)... It is very unsafe for cyclists and I have had several close calls.

State Route see earlier comment on dangerous rumple strips. Eliminate them asap! 179 State Route Village of Oak Creek to Hwy 17 - Rumble strips should not be in very narrow shoulder! The 179 shoulder is lined with vegetation on the opposite side of the strip and bicyclists are forced to ride in the traffic lane -- many motorists are not paying adequate attention to other users of the roadway and have RVs or are pulling campers with mirrors that extend beyond the side of the car which is a hazard for bicyclists who are also riding in the traffic lane. State Route we need rumble strips. Our new road has only been open for two years and I've nearly been 179 hit by several tourists who are trying to take pictures of red rocks and not pay attention to the road. The new road is negatively banked so speeding drivers cut the curves by driving in the bike lanes. State Route Between I-17 and VOC.

There 179 are rumble strips on the side that make the shoulder unusable by bikers. State Route The stretch between the Red Rock Ranger Station & I17 needs to come up to the same 179 standard as the rest of SR179. The shoulder is narrow and loaded with rumble strips. State Route From Beaver Head Flats Road to I-17 -- move the rumble strip from the shoulder to just 179 inside the white line or in the same locations as the white line. The rumble strip is currently in the shoulder. The shoulder is very narrow. The plants grow over into the shoulder. There is very little room to ride safely and comfortably in the shoulder. Before the rumble strip was installed, this was a very nice ride. State Route This is an example of good road design for pedestrian and bike use. 179 State Route South of the villiage of Oak Creek to Beaverhead flats is hazardous. No shoulder except 179 that with the rumble strip. It forces cyclists to ride out in traffic as the rumble strip and glass/gravel prevent using the shoulder State Route Repaving from the RRRD Visitors Center to I-17 to remove rumble strips from burm. The 179 problem is cyclists are having to riding in traffic to the left of the fog line with traffic so that cyclists can ride in the burm. State Route From MP 298 to 302 should have a wider shoulder for biking WITHOUT the rumble strip. A 179 while back, somebody put in the rumble strip and took out the bike riding area. . . . State Route I wish every highway was as well designed at this. Great job! 179 State Route This needs a shoulder that is passable by bike between beaver head flat road and I - 17. 179 State Route Starting with about 1 mile West of Beaver Head Flats Road to I-17 (both directions). 179 Shoulder limited or non-existent and rumble strip cuts in shoulder eliminates the shoulder as a safe bicycling option forcing bicyclists into the roadway. State Route Village of oak creek from ranger syn to I 17 Provide adequate bike lanes 179 State Route Keep white strips white. As they get grey, there is more of a danger to bicyclists..especially 179 since drivers are sight seeing. State Route From Beaverhead Flats Road to "Y" in Sedona -- very nicely done. It is a joy to ride and very 179 safe now. It could use a couple of "3 feet" or "share the road" signs, but it is nicely paved and has nice shoulder. Thank you. State Route Beaver Head Flat should have a bike lane from 179 to Cornville. 179 State Route Anywhere around Sedona for that matter. Enough said. 179 State Route SR 179 from the Ranger Station just south of the Village of Oak Creek to the I 17 179 interchange needs to have new shoulder installed. Either remove the rumble strips or widen the shoulders so that there is room to ride to the right of the strips. State Route State Route 179 experiences a very large number of visitors to the the Sedona area. Many 179 of these visitors may not have seen a bike lane before and drive in it, not aware of the state law prohibiting it. Explicit signs in that regard need to be posted at frequent intervals to continually remind drivers of the law.

This is an unmarked "bicycle shoulder". Even the city's bicycle advisory members think this is a bicycle lane. However, both inside and outside city limits, the surface is of extremely poor quality, the shoulder width (adjascent to a rumble strip) varies widely between 3 feet and nothing. The edge is jagged.

In many cases a reasonable shoulder just disappears and there is not ridable area other than the standard lane. US 180 from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon - Build a bike pathway the entire distance. US 180 Sechrist Elementary School in Flagstaff, AZ: There is a school zone up during the day when the school is in session, but there are numerous times when children and adults need to cross at the school during non-school hours. There is a need to have some kind of crossing signal so that people can prepare for the fact that people are going to cross. US 180 also known as Fort Valley By Late for the Train This "highway" divides neighborhoods, cars are suppose to go 35 mph but they go faster than that, kids have friends on either side but it is dangerous to cross, you might want to get a cup of coffee or go for a walk on the FUTS but be prepared to wait 5 minutes for the traffic and then RUN! US 180 North of Cheshire development at the right curve before Hidden Hollow road. It is a narrow, blind corner where cyclist are crowded onto a minimal to non-existent shoulder or guard rail, rough potholed pavement. and often heavy traffic to Grand Cyn or Snowbowl. It needs a decent shoulder NOT dissected by bad rumble strips (too wide, wandering) as the rest of that highway has going north. US 180 This road is very unsafe for all traffic. Very poor in the winter when Snowbowl is active and then the RV/Bus traffic is high in the summer. No shoulder and very poor conditions to Valle. This route could be a great cycling route for locals and tourists. Seventy miles to the Grand Canyon from Flagstaff would be a perfect half day tour. US 180 Highway from Flagstaff to Valle. Not adequate bike lanes for long distance rides US 180 The pavement on Hwy 180 on the edge of Flagstaff from the Schultz Rd junction through the curve/corner NE of Cheshire development, as of last summer and for years prior, needs repair--in both directions! The pavement is broken up and narrow so there is no where to go but into the lane. It needs to be repaired so that I can ride on the outside of the lane and in a straight line. US 180 Between Shultz Pass Road and FS 164B; and between Snowbowl Road and Valle, there is not sufficient shoulder for cyclists or pedestrians. US 180 We love the urban trail along 180 but it ends at Shultz Pass Rd. continuing the path so that people could bike or hike to the Grand Canyon would be excellent.

US 180 The northeastern road out of Flagstaff suffers from traffic jams all winter and unsafe conditions in the summer. An improved roadway for bikes would make getting to the Grand Canyon easier for those who don't want to drive. US 180 Humphreys Road past downtown Flagstaff does not accommodate cyclists. While i would not want to see any trees taken down to widen the road, slower speeds or painted bike lanes would improve biker safety. US 180 US 180 from Flagstaff to Valle needs wider shoulders.

State Route All along Hwy 180 there are narrow shoulders. It would be nice to have a good wide path for 180A those wishing to bike to the Grand Canyon. State Route Cycling from Flagstaff toward the Grand Canyon has always been a risk. In recent years, 180A that risk has increased as ADOT used poorly funded half-measures to keep the road passable, but nothing in the way of repair and certainly nothing to enhance cycling safety.

State Route Even though it is relatively light on traffic, the stretch of 187 from 87 to 387 has almost no 187 shoulder, and it is regularly used by cyclists. It is also difficult to make the left turn from 187 onto 387. State Route This is a popular route riding to Sacaton and then going out to the I10, and back up over the 187 hill.

The section a few miles north of Punkin Center has a side rode leading to a gravel pit where there is a large commercial operation. Trucks drops crushed gravel along the shoulder here all the time. The commercial operator should be made to clean it up a couple times each week. State Route No exact locations. That stretch of highway is used by bicycle traffic for those training for 188 sport. One was rear ended by a commerical truck and managed to survive. A designated path for cyclists might have helped identify where they were supposed to be and avoided any collision

State Route once this highway is fully utilized by commercial truck traffic, it will not be suitable for bicycle 195 or ped traffic.

Loop 202 Pecos Rd is a great road for cyclists and runners, building a freeway on top is a mistake but if you are going to do it be sure to build a very wide bike lane Loop 202 If the South Mtn 202 ever gets built it should preserve a bike lane, not only for the actual possibility of people commuting to work, but because this is a HUGE destination for recreational cyclists.

State Route Between Star Valley and Forest Lakes. Although a great of this road has or is being 260 improved, there are segments of it in between the improvements that are not. This makes it dangerous for cyclists. It is my understanding that some of the roadway improvement isn't even in the budget until after 2015. State Route I honestly believe that the ONLY WAY that those at ADOT responsible for this highway will 260 EVER understand why it simply sucks is to get on a bicycle and ride from Cottonwood to Camp Verde. Seriously... if ADOT can spend time & money for charettes, public input sessions, meetings, etc., then why can't three or four of them simply get on bikes and ride down their own damn highway. It's a cheap, fast, and effective way to assess a situation. State Route Where the State Highway intersects with US 89A.

State Route this is a high country route that connects Show Low to the White Mountains. It needs new 273 pavement as it is very beat up and there is no shoulder. We cycle on it in the spring, summer and fall and it would be used much more if it had a shoulder.

State Route This road is rarely traveled, which makes it a nice ride. The shoulder its incredibly narrow, 287 and overrun by debris. A separate bike lame our pedestrian path would minimize the road debris. Also, if planned and wide enough, could host a series of cycling or running events - Valley of the sun road ra ce, Ragnar equivalent to casa grande, local races/rides linking those communities, etc. State Route At Adamsville road (approximately) There is no shoulder on this segment for about one half 287 mile State Route The 287/79/87 route from Phoenix to Tucson through Oracle Junction and Florence could 287 really benefit from some shoulders.

There is no place except the 287 sidewalk for cyclist to traverse this route safely.

State Route Continuing the pavement on 288 to highway 260 would create a perfect corridor between the 288 lower and upper elevations in the state.

Loop 303 Pretty much everything between I-10 and US 60. The shoulders are too narrow for cyclist. Alternative routes (surface streets) are available, but frequent stops (most every mile) are common. A common use path within the ROW could be located near the edge of ROW and brought close to the lanes at underpass locations, taking advantage of new structures.

State Route Currently there are minimal sidewalks provided along SR347 that does not allow for 347 connectivity to and from key business centers. State Route Intersection of Riggs Road and intersection of Casa Blanca Road. These are insane 347 intersections in terms of speed and red light violations. Traffic cameras and signs warning of bicycle traffic are needed.

State Route State Highway 387 in Casa Grande infront of the residential portion of the Villago 387 Subdivision just north of McCartney Rd. has no sidewalks, and or curb and gutters. I see people walking here all the time to access the comercial development on the corner, and there is no place for them to safely walk, so they are forced to walk in the gravel landscaped area.
