This comment applies to the entire McGuinness corridor: we should definitely have a two-way parking protected bike lane on this street to connect the bike lanes on the Pulaski and K bridges! I'm in favor or removing travel lanes in each direction (a road diet) to make this possible.
This intersection should have turn-calming features or maybe a left-turn ban. Pedestrians have a short crossing signal in the afternoon, and cars making left turns from Norman onto McGuinness drive too quickly because they want to make the light.
I support a road diet on McGuinness Blvd. Please remove 1 lane of traffic from either side. Road diets save lives. We must act now before more people are murdered by cars.
A dedicated loading zone for buses is needed on Norman in front of the school. Several school buses double park on Norman at about 2:20 for at least ten minutes. Cars turning onto Norman from McGuinness get stuck behind the buses, which makes the intersection dangerous and noisy (lots of honking and unpredictable behavior as drivers on McGuinness who spot the issue bail on making their turn.
Please implement a road diet here. This can be an example for the rest of the city on how to prioritize people and safety, rather than prioritizing traffic speed.
Too often
Too fast along this stretch
This street should be impossible to drive faster than 5mph - there is a school, many residences, and a park - instead cars regularly ignore pedestrians in crosswalks, trucks use this as an illegal cut through. Narrow or reverse the street - or better yet - cap it a the school.
Cars and truck use this as a cut through - driving dangerously fast and often distractedly through a residential neighborhood.
This should be a public plaza - connecting the park to the school, cul-de-sacing (?) Monitor, which would also prevent the many illegal trucks using Monitor as a cut through.
