Also, it is very important to connect the West side to the rest of Richmond. 2/11/2015 11:25 AM 16 Historic areas, Schools and Government buildings and Public Transportation hubs.2/11/2015 10:12 AM 17 Neighborhoods should generally have sidewalks to promote a sense of community and provide a safe place to walk. 2/11/2015 8:43 AM 18 U.S. 40 - there is no sidewalk after Walmart .2/11/2015 8:28 AM 19 I believe that we already have a nice bike trail for people to use. It is bad enough with the motor scooters all over the place to dodge around in the car the last thing we need is a bunch of bicycles added to the problem. It is a waste of money that could be used for better things like cleaning up the existing parks instead of building another one. 2/11/2015 7:24 AM 20 neighborhoods 2/10/2015 4:59 PM 21 In front of Earlham (40) and Chester Blvd.2/10/2015 11:33 AM 22 East side of town needs pedestrian zone 2/10/2015 10:11 AM 23 I think that this shouldn't be done and instead repair the sidewalks.2/10/2015 9:13 AM 24 Neighboring citys (Centerville)2/10/2015 8:12 AM 25 schools 2/9/2015 9:47 PM 1 / 4 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Community Survey Q10 Are there other places that you feel are Important to connect to through sidewalks, shared- use trails and bike lanes?

Not all streets need a bike lane to accomplish that goal. 2/9/2015 1:43 PM 33 Much thought needs to be put into this because all mentioned are usually found within traffic lanes and areas of congestion. 2/9/2015 12:39 PM 34 Getting from neighborhoods to the park.

For safety reasons there really needs to be a sidewalk on the n orth side of South E Street between 16th and 17th St. Many people walk around the beautiful Reeveston neighborhood and this would make a full loop safely possible. 2/9/2015 7:56 AM 39 Wal-mart. I have a car & can get there by driving, but I know several people who don't have that luxury. Last year, we also walked our son in his stroller. He's now a toddler, and I don't think that I'll want to walk with him, because there isn't a safe route, and there are too many places close to heavy traffic where I would worry about him getting away from me. 2/9/2015 7:42 AM 40 Getting across the Gorge safely away from traffic.

Sidewalks are rarely cleared after heavy snowfalls. Alleys are not cont inuous to destinations points at 16th and East Main St.. This is only 5 blocks--less than 1/2 mile--but I often drive because it's not appealing to walk or ride. it took me years to figure out how to ride to particular destinations and then find my way back home because of one-way streets, discontinuous streets and alleys and heavy traffic flow on East Main Street. 2/15/2015 2:10 PM 12 At the 4-way stop of S 16th and South I Streets, there is no sidewalk on the road going up the hill headed east. Since it is going up the hill, you are forced to walk in the grass or potentially get hit if someone is not able to see you. The grass is often unmowed in the summer time which makes passing through uncomfortable. A sidewalk in that area would be nice, if it is not on private land. Otherwise everything in the area is great! 2/13/2015 11:52 PM 13 No bike paths on West US 40 and its too dangerous to bike in the road.2/12/2015 5:31 PM 14 Many sidewalks need replaced 2/12/2015 4:56 PM 15 There are no sidewalks in my neighborhood, despite it being a neighborhood in which there are many walkers,bikers and runners. 2/12/2015 10:40 AM 16 Sidewalks are OK, however I do not believe that adults or older children should b e riding bikes on the sidewalks.2/12/2015 6:08 AM 17 yes, I live on SW G St. and work at Earlham College. I am blind and do not feel comfortable walking in the street. There are blocks and sections of College Ave. SW 5th and other nearby streets that have no sidewalks so I cannot go the most direct route to some destinations or simply walk around my neighborhood for recreation.

Ridge Street and Sheridan Street have rundown sidewalks. Dogs run loose in neighborhood on a regular basis. There is no sidewalk on Sheridan past Fairview school. Road is not wide enough to walk s afely on Union Pike and Industries Road. The parking lot on Sheridan Street where the Cardinal Greenway passes by (at the abandoned warehouse) is not a safe place to access the trail. It would be great to turn that into a trailhead and safe parking lot. 2/6/2015 4:41 PM 75 My neighborhood has very few sidewalks.2/6/2015 2:48 PM 76 The sidewalks are terrible. I have lived at that address (S15th) for 15 yea rs and have asked the city many times to repair the sidewalks so my daughter could ride her unicycle and bicycle. That never happened and now my daughter has grown up. I am angry that she missed out on doing that around her own house. 2/6/2015 9:55 AM 77 In the Fairview Neighborhood we are close to the Cardinal Greenway but there isn't a safe way to get there by walking or riding. Most people go through an abandoned business parking lot on Sheridan St., but there isn't a safe way to go about this either. 2/6/2015 9:53 AM 78 Um, yes! The sidewalks in my neighborhood are in deplorable shape (SW A St). I feel like we live in a third world country or something. The improvements to National Rd have been nice with the crosswalks but motorists do not yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks at all and biking o n almost all Richmond roads still feels like a risky proposition. This town needs A LOT of work on being more bike and pedestrian friendly-- infrastructure + education. 2/6/2015 9:44 AM 79 No 2/5/2015 9:47 PM 80 Not really 2/5/2015 9:25 PM 81 No 2/5/2015 8:58 PM 82 they aren't cleared in the winter because of absentee landlords/business owners.2/5/2015 8:46 PM 3 / 7 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Q16 Are there specific issues or problems with sidewalks and paths within your neighborhood?

I saw a woman with a walker trying to negotiate the south side of South A earlier this week. The sidewalk was covered with large chunks of ice (from snow plowing) and she was having a terrible time making her way on the sidewalk. She was headed east between the bridge and the Salvation Army (who ro utinely ignore their sidewalk that is next to the building on South A). I think the Khumbu Ice Fall near the summit of Mount Everest is a safer trail to negotiate than South A Street in the winter. 2/5/2015 12:51 PM 87 We have NO sidewalks in my neighborhood 2/5/2015 10:19 AM 88 Sidewalks are generally not good.

Also, the weird 4-way stop at 5th and Main (by the City Building) is TERRIBLE. Having multiple lanes going one direction means nobody stops long enough to cross. A traffic island or a light of some kind would be awesome. 2/3/2015 4:20 PM 136 There are none in my neighborhood. The problem with the Richmond Greenway (I use frequently) is creepy little shacks in the woods, litter, and graffiti between Richmond highschool and the Industries road entrance.

And the paths connect all of the parks. 2/3/2015 1:46 PM 143 I live right next to Glen Miller Park and the trails in the park are unfortunately difficult to ride on.

You can see a work path where walkers travel by OIive Garden, Hobby Lobby, etc. No crosswalks on Elks Road and US 40. Crosswalk on South 22nd Street and US 40 is very faded. Junior High students walk to school and you cannot see the crosswalk. 2/3/2015 12:57 PM 149 In winter the sidewalks are never clear, often filled with mounds of snow that are dumped on them, or just extremely icy and unsafe.

If you hit the holes with your bike or trip into the hole while walking there could be very serious injuries! Also, lack of shoveling sidewalks mean people have to walk in the street.

Survey Monkey Community Survey 91CITY OF RICHMOND Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan 9 I'm Barry Cramer, member of the Bike/Ped Advisory Committee. I have many comments and issues and have spoken out at the meetings. Some of what follows repeats those thoughts, some doesn't. They aren't prioritized. (a) With increased development on Chester Blvd (convenience stores, fast-food outlets, drug store, etc), direct access from Berryfield subdivision is needed (neighborhood streets are Berry , Middle, Central, North and East Drives). Pedestrians from that neighborhood use the driveway and rear yard of 1801 Chester Blvd. to access Chester Blvd. Formal access might be via an existing alley/walkway mid-block on North Drive to an unnamed 2-3 acre public park, thru the park to adjacent Chester Hts apartment complex or a utility easement adjacent to both. (This park also needs attention from th e city in terms of upkeep.) (b) Access from the Old Richmond neighborhood to downtown and Depot district (east and west travel are inhibited by the Gorge and by discontinuous and one-way traffic flow on S. "B" and "C" Streets. Best access appears to be at South "E" St., and at S. 5th or 6th across South A St./US 40. (c) A connector to Cardinal Greenway is needed in the Fairview neighborhood to give ea sy access to library and other downtown venues and to integrate the NW quadrant of the city with those on the northeast and southeast. Cardinal Greenway reportedly own a small strip of land that might be used for this. (d) I recommend aligning the American Discovery Trail and US BR 50 in the southeastern quadrant of the city, especially from Hodgin Rd. at Garwood Rd. westward. Wernle Rd (which ADT fo llows) is too hilly and narrow; S "L" St could accommodate bike lanes. Greenmount Pike is the entry-point for ADT and might perhaps be designated an alternative route for USBR 50 (which enters to the north on Hodgin Rd, after diverging from Campbellstown-Crawfordsville Rd in Ohio about a mile east of the Indiana state line). (I was part of the group that helped advise the State of Ohio on the entry-point into Indiana; my viewpoints didn't prevail and honestly I couldn't discern what the objective criteria were that choose to criss-cross to Hodgin Rd rather than continue westbound to State Line Rd and Greenmount Pk.) I doubt the official designation will change, but perhaps that latter route could be designated an "alternate". Both of these routes--ADT and USBR 50--involve other planning groups and and relocation would necessarily need to involve them. Nevertheless, I think having them run conterminously--especially from Garwood and Hodgin to South 16th or South 13th would benefit the process of making whatever upgrades are necessary to make biking across that part of the city safer and easier. (e) I will call this the "ACE" corridor discussion (involving N. "A" Street, N. "C" Street, and/or N orth "E" Street). The discussion is how to connect Glen Miller Park, Cardinal Greenway and the Depot District. It should also recognize the Starr Neighborhood that lies between. I have proposed the use of North "A" Street for an East/West bike track using the right-hand (northern) lane of North A Street while maintaining at least two lanes of thru traffic and parallel parking on one side. It would run from North 16th Street on the East to North 3rd Street on the West-- about one mile--to connect to Cardinal Greenway's D-Street Trailhead three block to the North. I think this would serve the City extremely well in the long-run in connecting various neighborhoods with access to downtown and the Depot area as well as to the Greenway. It is US 40, and actual development might be years away, but havin g it in the Master Plan would send a signal that this is what we want. In the meantime, it has been recognized that North E Street holds a lot of merit in serving similar functions (connect Glen Miller, Cardinal Greenway, Depot, etc.) and presumably a lot simpler to construct (notably creation of bike lanes). Gunty Atkins has proposed a route that follows North C Street from Glen Miller Park west to North 9th Street (US 27), which also has a lot of merit. Hopefully there can be additional study into these three proposals--"A", "C" and "E"--with the recognition, also, that they are not necessarily exclusive. It might be recognized that they complement each other, that objective criteria can be used to determine how each might best be used. (f) I have also proposed in the Advisory Committee meetings that South 16th Street is attractive as a north /south corridor suitable for bike lanes in each direction. This would connect to the North A Street proposal made above in (e) and to South "L" Street in the south, where I've suggested American Discovery Trail and USBR 50 might be located (and diverge at this particular point). This would provide a good connector for the southeastern neighborhoods to the Greenway. This section (S 16th from S. "L" to N. "A" is about one mile in length and might be relatively modest in terms of cost. (g) Northwest "L" Street from Fairview School (within a stone's throw of Cardinal Greenway), past the State Hospital grounds, to the County 4-H Fairgrounds holds merit for providing a continuous route from SE to NW across Richmond (utilizing South L, S. 16th, and North "A", as described above) and to areas beyond. (h) North D Street from North 5th Street to the Trailhead has two intersections with stop signs. If those stop signs applied to the other streets at the respective intersections cyclists would have an unimpeded two blocks without having either to stop needlessly or to ignore the signs. (There are no doubt places throughout the city where signage could be p lace more advantageously for cyclists.) Thank you. 2/15/2015 2:10 PM 10 It would be nice to have more pedestrian crossing lights added to the length of South A.2/13/2015 11:52 PM 11 There is a need to educate drivers that pedestrians and cyclists have the right of way.2/12/2015 5:31 PM 12 Hate when groups of bikers think they own the road for miles at a time and spread across the roads when even tho a car could safely pass, they will not let you 2/12/2015 5:01 PM 13 I walk and run in all areas of the community and always feel safe. I have not experienced anything that would make me feel otherwise. Outside city limits I have been chased by dogs several times.

I am tired of the city having to rely on grants from the federal/state government to accomplish goals such as these. Eric Weiss 2/12/2015 6:08 AM 15 I work at the college with students who volunteer regularly at sites around Richnmond. Transportation to these sites is difficult because of the lack of convenient public transportation. More students would probably bike to their sites if they felt less intimidated by traffic and there were places to secure their bikes at their service sites. I am aware of students being struck or having near misses on bikes and of students having bikes stolen from their volunteer sites. Locations that students frequently volunteer at include all three Boys and Girls Clubs, Firls Inc., the Townsend Center, Cope environmental Center, the excel Center, Richmond High School. Westview Elementary, Fairview Elementary, Dennis Intermediate School, and the City Building. 2/11/2015 10:58 PM 16 There should be more bike/jogging loops and scenic lookout points. The parks should also have designated bike loops/lanes. 2/11/2015 10:32 PM 17 Owners downtown do not shovel their sidewalks when it snows. This needs to be enforced.2/11/2015 7:33 PM 18 We need a marketing campaign to entice more people to engage in an active lifestyle.2/11/2015 6:35 PM 19 People tend to think there's something odd or wrong about walking instead of driving!2/11/2015 5:03 PM 20 barriers between roads and paths are a must. Green belts are vital for successful communities. Feral cats are a problem so i s dog poop & goose poop 2/11/2015 2:11 PM 21 I think the biggest issue is the lack of education for biking best practices....and traffic best practices so that all modes of transportation are respected. 2/11/2015 1:56 PM 22 When cars park next to bike lanes it is hazardous for cyclists because drivers could potentially open their doors on cyclists. 2/11/2015 11:52 AM 23 I would like to see road rules for cyc lists more widely known and spread to both cyclists and motorists alike 2/11/2015 11:03 AM 24 Building a infrastructure of walking and biking promotes healthy lives styles and since of community. It brings young, old, rich, and poor together. Makes for a neighborly community. 2/11/2015 10:54 AM 25 Need more bike racks throughout city - At major shopping centers, bus stops, laundromats, etc 2/11/2015 10:30 AM 26 We have some really nice Parks, Nature areas and historic areas in Wayne County a good connecting trails system would enhance and showcase the whole area. 2/11/2015 10:12 AM 27 I would like to see the city partner with area businesses, public parking lots, etc. to provide parking (similar to train park-and-ride locations). I would love to walk to my job downtown, but I live on the far west side of town (so it's too far). It would be so convenient for me to be able to park my car a couple of miles from my job and walk the rest of the way. Even places like the River Rats or municipal pool lots would be an idea. 2/11/2015 9:20 AM 28 We need more sidewalks as a bare minimum. Sidewalks help turn groups of houses into neighborhoods and neighborhoods into communities. 2/11/2015 8:43 AM 29 More sidewalks p lease.2/11/2015 8:28 AM 30 once I ride the greenway into the city there is on easy, safe way to get around 2/11/2015 8:10 AM 31 Current bike routes are cluttered with parked cars and are busy during travel times. There is not enough room at stops for bikes and cars. They are not safe. 2/11/2015 7:01 AM 32 Bike lanes would go a long way toward increasing motorist awareness and promoting safer cycling. We ha ve many roadways that are wide enough to accommodate such lanes. Many motorists currently disregard the safety and rights of cyclists. 2/11/2015 12:17 AM 33 This winter I have walked from Test Road to Williamsburg and back and picking up trash along the way accumulated a couple small plastic grocery bags of trash. Walking Toschlog Rd from Natl Road to Test Road I have picked up several large trash bags o f trash and am not done. To me that indicates walkers and bikers do not litter 2/10/2015 9:51 PM 34 Definitely lighting! We need brighter and more streetlights and even and unbroken sidewalks.2/10/2015 8:53 PM 35 I don't believe this issue is one that will promote job growth or attract businesses therefore should be put on the back burner and monies used to improve sidewalks in almost every neighborhood 2 /10/2015 8:32 PM 3 / 10 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Q17 Are there specific issues or comments pertaining to walking and biking in Richmond that you would like to share? Continued. Survey Monkey Community Survey 93CITY OF RICHMOND Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan 36 Let's be honest, in general we have an unhealthy population in Richmond; smoking and obesity are epidemic. Those of us passionate about a healthy lifestyle already run and bike with the existing roads and trails. By adding bike lanes and improving the ease with which people can walk and bike we will draw more people to these activities and generate a positive momentum. We will gradually get more pe ople off of the couch and onto a bike and it will grow like a snowball going downhill. A healthy lifestyle will be more accessible to the masses. 2/10/2015 8:29 PM 37 would love to use the cardinal greenway, but will not use it I dont feel safe!!! the greenway is a beautiful place and the perfect place to run, walk or ride a bike but you just dont feel safe there. 2/10/2015 8:03 PM 38 Not important. Tear down the old Reid and YMCA first.2/10/2015 6:04 PM 39 bike riders on roads sometimes are 'hassled' by city policeman. told they should not be on street holding up traffic, but we're not supposed to use sidewalks. would like to see city police more bicycle friendly 2/10/2015 4:59 PM 40 It's not safe currently to run or bike around town 2/10/2015 4:46 PM 41 We need a lane for bicycle on Main/40. Also the cross way need to be safer.2/10/2015 3:23 PM 42 NO 2/10/2015 3:16 PM 43 I find many alleys easier and safer to ride than busy streets. Often nice views of gardens and yards from alleys. If alleys are kept cleaned, as quite a few are - not all - they are safe on bike tires. Good,clean, well-maintained alleys are also safer for children riders. I would also like to have a bike rails-to- trail opened to both C enterville and to New Paris - even to Fountain City. . 2/10/2015 1:35 PM 44 Crossing Chester Blvd. is very hectic and can be quite dangerous at times. If there was a way to bypass crossing the street, that would be beneficial to pedestrians. 40 in front of Earlham is better but can be hectic also. 2/10/2015 11:33 AM 45 The roads are in terrible shape, and the rubble that commonly strews the "bike lane" (o r even the "bike" part of the road, if no lane) make riding dangerous. Enforcement of safety regulations has been spotty, at best, and motorists often are often the source of hazards. There are absolutely cyclists who flaunt the laws (riding through red lights, etc) and they need to be cited as well to ensure full participation in the process and ensure that all regulations are being adhered to. 2/10/2 015 11:12 AM 46 Highway 40 West of SW 18th Street could definitely use sidewalks to encourage walking (safely) to businesses and restaurants. There are many people that walk along that path, but it is not safe at all. 2/10/2015 10:40 AM 47 Allow people ride bicycles on the sidewalks to keep them safe. Create more sidewalks, It's impossible to get through the east side in one piece. 2/10/2015 10:11 AM 48 The re isn't a culture that supports biking. I'm often yelled at by car drivers even when I'm following all regulations.2/10/2015 10:09 AM 49 The crime rate makes biking dangerous in itself. Let alone the aggressive drivers that speed excessively on roads like National Road and have little to no concern about pedestrians or bicyclists. 2/10/2015 9:13 AM 50 The more separated bike lanes the better!2/10/2015 8:15 AM 51 safety concerns 2/10/2015 8:01 AM 52 I strongly encourage a project such as this. It will take time for people's attitudes to adjust and for people to drive more safely when around bicycles. 2/9/2015 8:51 PM 53 The city has done a good job in replacing old, broken sidewalks. It would be nice if Richmond was a more pedistrian city. I've walked in other cities where the motorists actually stop for you when you cross the street. 2/9/2015 7:19 PM 54 drivers do not pay attention to busy playing with phone. also do not keep there dog under control.2/9/2015 5:53 PM 55 Biking in Richmond is not safe! Motorists pay no attention to the rights of bicyclists and there are no bike paths or lanes in the city. 2/9/2015 4:48 PM 56 There is no consistency in how walkers, bikers, and motorists each obey traffic law s. Bike riding on our streets is dangerous due to the lack of safety awareness of bikers & motorists. 2/9/2015 3:26 PM 57 This is a very bike unfriendly town. In order to have a thriving local economy, you need pedestrian and bike traffic 2/9/2015 3:18 PM 58 I think more bike paths and community-wide educational efforts on why they are important would be most beneficial to the city of Richmond. 2/9/2015 3:13 PM 59 Drivers do not respect bikers.2/9/2015 2:30 PM 4 / 10 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Q17 Are there specific issues or comments pertaining to walking and biking in Richmond that you would like to share?

I don't know how to drive. Their actions often cause me to fear being outside. I am tired of this. 2/9/2015 2:11 PM 61 The number 1 issue is the lack of enforcement of traffic laws. The motorists are dangerous, inconsiderate and aggressive, yet the laws that would keep them in check are larg ely unenforced. The locally assigned law enforcement officers are more interested in broken license plate lights than they are in curbing unsafe and aggressive driving behavior, and are pushed that way by poor policy making and the need to comply with grant programs aimed at drugs and DUI cases. Walk or cycle through GMP on any afternoon or early evening. The traffic is faster than on Main Street, and no one is there to keep the dangerous motorists in check. Great officers; disastrous policymakers. 2/9/2015 1:43 PM 62 I like to run around Richmond. A lot of the sidewalks are uneven so I will run on the road. Bike lanes would be ideal or widening the roadway (I know $ is an issue). Also, I think there would in increase in participation if you can link Richmond's neighborhoods up with a trail system that connects it to the parks and other locations. 2/9/2015 1:01 PM 63 People do not watch out for walkers, runners or bike riders. Likewise, they do not like their interference.2/9/2015 12:39 PM 64 When we vacation in other cities, we walk a lot more. We walk to restaurants etc. Richmond needs more ways to walk and bike. It would help our entire city improve our health as well if we all could walk more. 2/9/2015 12:26 PM 65 A healthy lifestyle is just the beginning of great change in the mind, body, spirit, connection. Which in turn causes us to work better, feel better, communicate better, etc. Thus making a more engaged, attractive community. So these walk/bike paths would be a very welcome addition to our city! Thanks for the opportunity to share my input. 2/9/2015 11:12 AM 66 I can not imagine tryin g to bike for commuting in Richmond's current condition. It is difficult to map a safe and convenient route, and as an inexperienced biker it is far too intimidating. 2/9/2015 9:34 AM 67 I live a mile from work. I would love to ride back and forth to work, with that said, I would have to ride in traffic, which is a huge hazard in town! 2/9/2015 9:33 AM 68 Drivers need education on safe distances for passing a road cyclist....a newspaper series?2/9/2015 8:52 AM 69 A very important addition to the quality of life for the streets of Richmond would be the addition of bike lanes as well as educating motorists and bicyclists alike in how to properly/safely use them. 2/9/2015 7:56 AM 70 It's a very unfriendly physical place to walk around in, which is kind of crazy since there are a number of people without veh icles. 2/9/2015 7:42 AM 71 If we make it safer, lots more people would ride.2/9/2015 7:20 AM 72 thanks for addressing this community need and being progressive as a community 2/9/2015 6:36 AM 73 I have tried to educate government officials about bicycling benefits and needs. They have not been receptive.2/9/2015 6:15 AM 74 My walking partner tripped in a sidewalk crack and fell and tore her pants. I fell wi th my bike by being distracted by pedestrians on a sidewalk that was too narrow. 2/8/2015 10:24 PM 75 I live only about a mile from where I work. From my house, it's just a hop, skip and a jump on Chester Blvd. I would love to be able to ride my bike to work, but the traffic is so dangerous in the morning and during rush hour that I fear for my safety. I feel that bike lanes would be a wonderful additio n to the area between North D Street and Reid Hospital. Plus it would be a good opportunity to pair up with Reid in their initiative to promote wellness to members of the community and employees alike. 2/8/2015 3:01 AM 76 Riding bikes from the east to the west or the opposite, through town is very dangerous. Our path requires use of Main St and South A from the courthouse to 17th St. Cars do not provide enough space for riding on the street and if you ride illegally on the sidewalk, (or are walking along the sidewalk) drivers seldom notice you and make turns in front of you. 2/7/2015 12:14 PM 77 need more bicycle lanes 2/7/2015 11:19 AM 78 It's dangerous. I have had my life directly threatened, been run off the road, had my handlebars clipped in a pass, had things thrown at me. and had someone try to pin me in somewhere because they wanted to fight. 2/7/2015 2:01 AM 79 I love the Greenway trail. Two concerns: (1) sometimes bikers zoom by in an unsafe manner to pedestrians; (2) a man was shot on the North Greenway trail last summer, apparently by a sniper. There was never any followup news regarding this crime. Is anyone looking into this? 2/7/2015 1:00 AM 80 The Earlham Cemetery doesn't clear its sidewal k on National Road! Isn't this illegal?

That would help many Ivy Tech and IUE students get to class since many of them may not own cars. Paved trails besides the Cardinal Greenway would be wonderful. I use the Greenway whenever I can for exercise, but if I could access it more easily, I would use it for walking to work. People seem to sit in their cars at the Union Pike greenway trailhead while on break from the Hill's pet food plant. (It may be due to a nonsmoking policy at the factory or other places of employment). Also, people sit in cars at city parks. It makes me uncomfortable and nervous about being there, even during the day. I know people have a right to be in public parks, but it can feel creepy to know people are sitting there looking at you. I'd rather they get out and walk around and enjoy being outside. 2/6/2015 4:41 PM 82 They need to trim back the weeds on the bike trail 2/6/2015 9:55 AM 83 To encourage different modes of transportation for people in all the various aspects of their lives. There is no safe way for people to get to work by walking or riding if they work at Belden or along Industrial Parkway. Taking Bridge St. is a short cut to get to Belden and it is scary to see people walking or riding under the Greenway bridge on that curve on Bridge St. near the intersection with SIm Hodgin Pkwy. Also, when it snows and the plows blast snow and salt, etc, up onto sidewalks it makes people who walk have to walk out onto the road because it is unsafe to walk on the sidewalk. I see this the most on U.S. 40. 2/6/2015 9:53 AM 84 I am ve ry hopeful this work and plan will improve the bike and pedestrian atmosphere of the city. It is vital work not just for quality of life but in order to attract more young people to this town and area. We currently seem to make decisions in this town based on what people who are 55+ think is good for "economic development." With all due respect to those folks, the future of Richmond is not with those people-- it is with young people. We need to be more responsive to the kinds of things they want to see in a community or risk this place being a glorified elder-care town with no future and too much conservative nostalgia for times gone by... 2/6/2015 9:44 AM 85 If there are no designated bike lanes, bikers should *absolutely* be allowed to bike on the sidewalks, because motorists simply are not caref ul enough around bikers. 2/6/2015 9:31 AM 86 It's hard to bike on the street sometimes because motorists can be aggressive and rude. It would help if motorists were better educated about the status of a bike as a vehicle on the street. 2/6/2015 9:28 AM 87 Reference benefits/use of Cardinal Greenway since it has been improved when considering the merits of this project. 2/5/2015 9:47 PM 88 WAlking and biking are note fully appreciated because of a lack of education and opportunity to use biking and walking as a means of transportation 2/5/2015 9:25 PM 89 bicycles should NOT be allowed on the sidewalks. someone is going to get hurt and i'm surprised someone hasn't yet. patrons of my establishment have been nearly hit numerous times because of cyclists traveling too fast on the sidewalk outside my business. 2/5/2015 8:46 PM 90 I, and many others I know personally, have been approached by strangers in an intimidating manner on the Cardinal Greenway and really don't feel safe using the trails anymore. ...I have to wonder how more trails would be anything besides more unmonitered, unsafe areas in our city... 2/5/2015 4:45 PM 91 I don't drive for medical reasons, and in general find Richmond very pedestrian frien dly for an able-bodied person, though probably much less so for folks (not me) with mobility issues. I've been deterred significantly from bicycling by several dog attacks, but all those have been outside the city. I'd sure welcome a solution to that issue, but I can't think of one. 2/5/2015 3:45 PM 92 No 2/5/2015 2:59 PM 93 As you plan, I would think it would be important to connect sidewalks and trails t o "something" other than just having sidewalks and trails. You'd also need some sort of campaign to market the idea. And don't forget the Earlham community. 2/5/2015 12:51 PM 94 Streets are already too narrow to paint a bike lane in Center City.2/5/2015 10:19 AM 95 Shared use trails next to streets would be alot safer for kids instead of in the street.2/5/2015 9:41 AM 96 I wish there were connectors to the Cardinal Greenway trail and the Riverside Trail.

It would help make it a fun place to live. I hate seeing people walking to or from work, businesses, school on the roads!

When I was 12 years old, I used to be able to take my bike and ride from South J to Glen Miller park without any incident. Now as an adult, I would not dare do that and I certainly will not allow my child to make that trip due to safety reasons. 2/4/2015 4:50 PM 108 I don't like to walk from where I live (Reeveston) to downtown or to the Cardinal Trail because I am worried about the neighborhood in between the destinations. I have been harassed by other pedestrians in the past. 2/4/2015 4:35 PM 109 The trails and pathways should be lit at night with emergency phones like on college campuses.2/4/2015 4:25 PM 110 We already have the Greenway and the golf course at the park.

Motorists do not pay attention to cyclists and this creates an unsafe cycling environment. 2/4/2015 1:33 PM 118 I believe the current sidewalk and roadway system that is in place accommodates the citizens of Richmond. I feel that it would be a bad way to spend taxpayer dollars to install bicyle lanes or a walking trail. Money could be better spent by repairing sidewalks and streets. I see more cyclists and runners out for recreation and exercise. The Cardinal Greenway satisfies their interest. 2/4/2015 1:32 PM 119 If you want to walk or bike in Uptown, Downtown, or the Depot, it's very difficult--there's no where to go.2/4/2015 1:29 PM 120 The path at the GM golf course was crumbling. Even though it was recently paved, there is still an area near the tennis court that is often flooded during heavy rains. It would be nice to see that fixed either by better irrigation or a small bridge over all 3 areas. I've often said the GM park SHOULD be a one-way park. People shouldn't use it as a pass through. Drivers are pretty aggressive in that area when you bike, run or walk. Having a specific lane and one-way traffic would benefit everyone. Sure, it may upset some people, but they'd get over it. 2/4/2015 1:11 PM 121 Why has this city not adopted complete streets. For example Salisbury reconstruction. Nice side paths until you get to NW L then they disappear and force riders or walkers into traffic. Why was this proejct so poorly planned? 2/4/2015 12:28 PM 122 Need bike lanes on major streets and roads.2/4/2015 12:11 PM 123 Would need more enforcement on residents (owners or renters) I live in a school zone. Very few people clean the walkway in front of their house from debris, and snow. Also rosie rollers are left out in front of the house for days. 2/4/2015 11:33 AM 7 / 10 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Q17 Are there specific issues or comments pertaining to walking and biking in Richmond that you would like to share? Continued. Survey Monkey Community Survey 97CITY OF RICHMOND Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan 124 These should also be accessible to people with disabilities (wheelchair users) and meet the ADA Code. You can find more information on how this can be achieved by going to pages 185-192 of the following document. http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/21944/files/ca_stateparksaccessguiderev_titlepagewithdisclaimer.pdf 2/4/2015 10:57 AM 125 Lack of agencies/organizations to promote bike/ped safety education. Inability for city departments to include bike/ped facility planning into their priorities. 2/4/2015 10:29 AM 126 I appreciate current focus on downtown and depot districts. I hope that the next order of business includes incremental improvements (bike lanes, sharrows, etc.) to help bicyclists feel more confident connecting to upcoming infrastructure from east and west sides of Richmond. Route-finding signs for cyclists would also aid in this, helping to identify safest routes and concentrating bike traffic so automobiles are forced to take better notice. 2/4/2015 10:10 AM 127 we need a safe way for people to walk and ride out to the east side of town where the shopping and resteraunts are. 2/4/2015 10:06 AM 128 Good Luck!2/4/2015 9:59 AM 129 n/a 2/4/2015 9:27 AM 130 We need to make these improvements as str eets are being upgraded 2/4/2015 9:22 AM 131 The Greenway overall is a great deal for Richmond residents. I've rode it several times over the last few years, my main concern is that other cyclists ride in a safe, law obeying matter. We've seen several instances where some of the agressive road bike riders fly past us (when we ride about 15 mph), then proceed to blow through intersections. They think its more of a race course and endanger other riders & traffic. 2/4/2015 9:12 AM 132 Main Street on the west side of town is very dangerous because of all the parked cars. It makes it very easy for a cyclist to get stuck between a parked car and traffic. Instead I bike on 40 where there is more room but faster traffic. It would be great if bike lanes could be put in. There are also no sidewalks out by the mall, which makes it very hard for people who need/want to walk to work or shopping. This is a basic need that should be filled! 2/4/2015 8:48 AM 133 Bike lanes would be great for the cycling groups in town as well as encourage commuters to ride their bike the proper direction on the street and stay off of the sidewalks. 2/4/2015 8:17 AM 134 There is a real problem between 10th and 18th street on the east side with pedestrian traffic.2/4/2015 7:06 AM 135 Education to motorists is a concern. But it takes time and people who are biking on driving paths of life.2/4/2015 7:04 AM 136 Several areas with hazards such as missing water covers and uneven side walks 2/4/2015 6:48 AM 137 This is an unfriendly community for bicyclists. No lanes, no road markings, and short sighted automobile advocating government. 2/3/2 015 10:03 PM 138 safety from being robbed, unless there is constant monitoring that will be a problem in Richmond with all the unemployed druggies and lowlifes whonarw ruining the city 2/3/2015 7:36 PM 139 City should not use EDIT funds to pay for any of these proposed developments, only grants and donations.2/3/2015 7:32 PM 140 I think it's great to make a plan, but the public will need to be told about that plan before, during, and after that plan takes definite shape in order to decrease the aggressive and distracted driving tendencies that are currently systemic in this area. 2/3/2015 6:24 PM 141 I view biking as practically unworkable in Richmond (except on the Greenway), and walk instead. I fully support the proposed bike path connecting the Greenway to Cope, and the extensions to the National Roa d Heritage Trail. 2/3/2015 5:57 PM 142 Consider mandator adjacent lanes on one-way streets---well marked. Update signage for existing trails, every intersection. 2/3/2015 5:25 PM 143 I love the Cardinal Greenway. To encourage commuters and riding to run errands, we need more bicycle racks in town. 2/3/2015 4:50 PM 144 Just wish there were bike lanes all over town 2/3/2015 4:29 PM 145 In areas where motorists are not used to seeing pedestrians, there can be additional safety issues. It seems like more pedestrian activity in general would make being an individual pedestrian safer. 2/3/2015 4:20 PM 146 The area I walk in most is around the hospital, which has considerable traffic, and there is no sidewalk connecting Meijer to Reid. The second is probably in the depot district, and the sidewalks there are fine. T he bridge over E street makes for a scary place at night-it could be lit better. 2/3/2015 4:12 PM 8 / 10 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Q17 Are there specific issues or comments pertaining to walking and biking in Richmond that you would like to share? Continued. Survey Monkey COMMUNITY SURVEY98COMMUNITY FORUM MAPS147 Cycling lanes need to be created for bikers 2/3/2015 2:18 PM 148 the government does not have the money for these projects that pacify a few people while taxing the majority.2/3/2015 2:17 PM 149 Because the sidewalks are not kept up well in Richmond, or there aren't sidewalks, I typically walk for fitness in the street unless a car is oncoming in which case I will move to the sidewalk, but generally back to the street. I observe others doing the same when walking or running. 2/3/2015 2:08 PM 150 I would like to bike more but feel generally unsafe to bike on the roads in Richmond due to sharing the road with cars. I'm glad Richmond has the Cardinal Greenway but I see that as recreation, whereas I prefer to be practical in my biking -- simply getting to and from work and going to community events and to see friends. 2/3/2015 1:48 PM 151 Walking around schools is very unsafe. Speed limits are not enforced, especially around Richmond Friends School. Traffic speeds down all surrounding streets/alley ways. Walking across the street in the depot district is extremely unsafe. Traffic moves way too fast for that area. This town is definitely not pedestrian friendly; cars rarely yield to pedestrians even at stop signs. Drivers need to be more aware and need more education. 2/3/2015 1:46 PM 152 More bike lanes on busy streets would be helpful.2/3/2015 1:41 PM 153 It is impossible for me to bike or walk to work due to lack of sidewalks or bikable roads. In particular, Chester Blvd. needs improvement. 2/3/2015 1:33 PM 154 I believe the community would benefit from having bike paths since it would connect all the community.2/3/2015 1:33 PM 155 I would like to see a campaign to improve the mindset of locals towards the idea of commuting by methods other than vehicular transportation. I spent a number of years living in a city more than four times the size of Richmond, and primarily commuted by bike at that time. I felt safer on my bike in a much larger city with more traffic than I do in Richmond. In Richmond , my husband and I have been run off the road by cars, had food, drinks and trash thrown at us, been yelled at, and experienced other forms of extreme aggression by individuals in cars. I believe that more people would consider alternative methods of transportation if this negativity was addressed and there was better law enforcement protecting individuals who commute by foot and bike from harassment and assault. In my personal opinion, safety issues surrounding non-vehicular transportation is a major problem in this area. 2/3/2015 1:27 PM 156 I think it is important that the north side of town, including IU East and the Reid campus, be better connected to the Uptown and Depot District. 2/3/2015 1:25 PM 157 Pedestrian traffic is very unusual in front of Glen Miller Park. Street Light posts are placed right in the middle of the sidewalk? 2/3/2015 12:57 PM 158 The bike map is really useful!2/3/2015 12:37 PM 159 Public streets are NOT shoveled in the winter, including downtown! How are we supposed to encourage walking when the sidewalks are covered in ice? 2/3/2015 12:13 PM 160 Just the conditions of the sidewalks. Realize that there seems to have been work being done on the sidewalks, but would think that the areas close to the trails that are already available would have been a priority to make the area more appealing. 2/3/2015 11:07 AM 161 Just simplying creating lanes for indiviudals to bike or run/walk on the road has the potential to change the culture of Richmond. What a postive direction to aim/work towards. Thanks 2/3/2015 9:51 AM 162 Safety is the number one concern.2/3/2015 9:49 AM 163 I love the Cardinal Greenway Trail. I get on it 3 to 4 times a week for biking mostly (but sometimes hiking) when the weather is nice. The only reason I'm not on it more often is time. I just wish I lived closer or had easy/safe access to getting to the trail. Right now I drive unless I have additional time to ride from my house (near Glen Miller Park) to the trail on North E Street. 2/3/2015 9:41 AM 164 Would lik e to see paved path along 40 and 27 connecting east side shopping and north college campuses to center city area. Needs to be far enough off of street that it does not get snow covered when street is plowed. 2/3/2015 8:44 AM 165 One can't get from IUEast/Purdue/IvyTech to "anywhere" without very unsafe roads 2/3/2015 8:38 AM 166 Unsafe unsafe unsafe. I have my son on the back and motorists are so dangero usly close.2/3/2015 6:57 AM 167 We need city laws and enforcement of snow shoveling laws! There is ice everywhere and it is dangerous to walk because no one treats/shovels 2/2/2015 7:45 PM 168 none 2/2/2015 5:24 PM 9 / 10 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Q17 Are there specific issues or comments pertaining to walking and biking in Richmond that you would like to share? Continued. Survey Monkey Community Survey 99CITY OF RICHMOND Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan 169 We need bicycle and traffic education, please! Bikes are legally allowed on roads - it is more unsafe to bike on the sidewalk than on the road. I'm very frustrated with the lack of education by both drivers of cars and bikers/walkers when it comes to what is legal and safe. 2/2/2015 4:50 PM 170 I would like to see sidewalks by the east side shopping areas. I fear someone will be seriously hurt one d ay while walking along busy U.S. 40. 2/2/2015 4:18 PM 171 I would like to say biking, walking, and running I think more people would do it if they felt safe. I know people who say they would bike to work but in the early mornings it is still dark and they don't want to be on the roads with tired drivers. 2/2/2015 3:26 PM 172 Richmond's streets, specifically Main Street is ideally suited for complete streets. THis would include two way traffic, parking and a designated Bicycle Lane. 2/2/2015 3:25 PM 173 I am a student at Earlham college, and I think a better walking/biking system would help get students out and engaged in the community more. 2/2/2015 2:15 PM 174 Biking is a little bit terrifying in Richmond, especially in the winter. Bike commuting isn't common enough that drivers are used to it, so I have a hard time convincing myself that they will share the road. 2/2/2015 2:03 PM 175 The vehicle traffic is very unfriendly towards walkers and bicyclists - some time of driver education program with the BMV might be helpful. Additionally, no one seems to shovel their sidewalks in the winter, which leads to dangerous conditions, especially along 40. 2/2/2015 1:18 PM 176 Cycling is dangerous with the traffic - we need more safe cycling zones along US 40.2/2/2015 11:39 AM 10 / 10 Richmond Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan SurveyMonkey Q17 Are there specific issues or comments pertaining to walking and biking in Richmond that you would like to share?
