In our October 2024 issue of The Pedal Post (eNewsletter), Bike Fort Collins posed the question: “Have you experienced conflict or felt unsafe while traveling through the intersection of Canyon Avenue, West Magnolia Street & South Sherwood Street?”
Thank you to those who responded. Below is a recap of the results.
WHAT HAPPENED?
In addition, for those who reported conflict, we asked them to describe their experience. Here is a sampling of the responses we received:
- “It’s VERY CONFUSING with all the different colors of paint. Even cars seem uncertain how to navigate. Stopping, pausing and deciding what to do.”
- “Lines of sight are somewhat obscured here, though it’s much better now with the painted parts of the intersection.”
HOW CAN IT BE IMPROVED?
Finally, we asked respondents how they thought the intersection/facility could be improved. Here is a sampling of the responses we received:
- “Get rid of the paint.”
- “An all-way stop would definitely help.”
Again, thank you to all who responded—and for sharing their experiences. Stay tuned for additional surveys inquiring about other intersections and bicycle facilities.
