Based off of the chaos I see daily at this intersection, I don’t feel safe letting my daughters walk to school alone at age 6 and 8 years old and we live 2 blocks away. I’ve even feared for my own safety as an adult who is much taller and more visible than a child, crossing the street. Changes need to be made for the sake of our children and our community.
As a parent, I'm terrified of the 6th & 13th intersection. Visibility is awful, cars block the crosswalk, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Let's make it safer for our kids!
I would love to see the city address the problems of this intersection. Even during low traffic times, I struggle with visibility of cross-traffic. It's obviously the worse during peak hours of school drop-off and pick-up. Not being able to see cross traffic requires you to pull forward completely into the crosswalk just to see, which creates a hazard for the little children walking to and from school. The crossing guards do as good of a job as they can do, but the lack of visibility and people stopping the middle of the intersection is what makes this intersection such a nightmare.
I avoid Lake Wash Blvd whenever possible. It really should be signed as dangerous for bikes.
The section southbound from E. Olive Ln downhill has a narrow path in the road to thread terrible dangerous potholes. Southbound section between E Jefferson & E Terrace St has gotten really bad forcing one into traffic.
To get to I-90 trail I now detour via 27th Ave E to E Columbia to 29th Ave to E Cherry to 32nd Av to S Frink Pl
I am a frequent bike rider of Lake Washington Blvd. It's hard to believe a World Class city would let an important city street to fall in such obvious disrepair.
As someone who used to bike to work everyday and was constantly almost grazed by crazy memphis drivers this hits close to home. If you're scared in the safety of your car, take a second to imagine how a bike rider would feel.
Im from Tunica Mississippi & a bike enthusiast & I support this cause down here we don't have bike lanes only in our downtown section so I really support this cause a lot🙏🏽🚴🏽🚴🏽 happy trails
Lived in Nola for ten years wishing for this the entire time. So many driving miles wasted by those seeking free parking which will not likely be found, spoiling the experience for everyone who only wants to enjoy the this rare neighborhood the way it should be — at human speed
I lived in New Orleans for years and worked in the French Quarter as a bicycle tour guide and pedicab driver. The amount of vehicle traffic is not only incredibly difficult and frustrating, but really dangerous for everyone. The quarter would be so much safer, more beautiful, and functional with this plan. Please on behalf of the city and visitors consider this important issue. Thank you!
New Orleans City Code Sec. 146-36 established a complete streets program in 2012 that REQUIRES planning for all users and making decisions based on crash data. Year after year, the quarter and the boundary of Canal Street have the highest number of pedestrian crashes-- this plan needs to be taken seriously for the public health of New Orleanians over the tourism industry. Inaction not only affects quality of life, but is costing lives.
