In our May 2026 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 Linden Street and Willow 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:
- “I was going south on Willow and noticed a new sign on the Ranchway Feeds building. I briefly looked up and my tired got caught in the RR track. I took a very bad fall, which NEVER happens to me on my bike.”
- “Lots of cars, several parking lots and spaces.”
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:
- “I suggest prominent warning signs on Willow for the RR track.“
- “Clearer marking of bike lanes and crosswalks. Green hashmarks showing drivers turning right, bikes going straight have right of way.”
- “Not sure.“
Again, thank you to all who responded—and for sharing their experiences. Stay tuned for additional surveys inquiring about other intersections and bicycle facilities.
