As a downtown resident, the 4th and 5th improvements have helped make the neighborhood a safer place to recreate, shop, and live.
The reversal sends a loud and clear message: “4th and 5th street corridors aren’t places to live, visit, spend money at, or enjoy - they’re literally conduits for cars to travel through, and away from, downtown.”
A huge step back.
Matt supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionI regularly visit downtown via car or bicycle, and walk around once I'm there. The changes have not only made crossing intersections such as 5th & Colorado far safer on foot or bike, but I appreciate the slower speeds while driving. While Phase 1 is certainly not perfect, Phase 2 looks as though it will address many of the concerns. Returning to the two lane alignment will bring back dangerous high speeds through downtown and reduce safety for all users. Reverting back to the two lane alignment without attempting Phase 2 is not only short-sighted, but irresponsible to our citizens.
Rita supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionIt's so nice to have a safe way to pedal into town with the baby. Devastated to see people wanting to take away this safe thoroughfare
lynn supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionGrand Junction has one of the very best downtowns in the west. As someone who drives, walks and bikes downtown often, the changes to 4th and 5th have made me feel safer downtown no matter my mode of transportation. I very much hope to see it continue.
Dave supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionCyclists and cars want the same thing- to get to where they are going safely, and to stay out of each other's way! The stats speak for themselves, and are a big part of why I plan my bike routes to utilize 4th and 5th street. These protected bike lanes increase predictability which benefits all of us. Please continue with Phase 2
Meghan supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionThe bollards do not bother me driving. I like being able to safely cross the street to Hawthorne Park without being run over by speeding cars and enjoy the safety of riding my adaptive trike in the bike lane.
cliff supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionDuring the Phase 1 I actually felt safe as a pedestrian and spent more time and money downtown shopping than I have in many years. I am more likely to go downtown and shop when I feel safe. If the plan is to only move cars at or above the speed limit from Orchard Mesa to North Avenue and beyond then by all means reverse the progress of creating a safer downtown for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists of all types. Please reconsider your votes to destroy progress and safety and move forward with Phase 2. Safety, Progress and Financial growth can co-exist. Thank you for your consideration of what is best for our whole community for now and the future.
Ashley supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionAs the owner of a small counseling business downtown I was pleased to know that my clients had a safe way to arrive at my office - whether on foot, via bicycle, or by car. Some clients reported a sense of increased self-confidence and independence, as well as decreased need to rely on others for transportation, due to the changes that have so far been implemented on 4th and 5th streets. It would be a detriment to the safety and well being of my clients, and to my business, if these changes are reversed and phase 2 not implemented.
Megan supported: Urge City Council to Continue Phase 2 Pilot in Downtown Grand JunctionHello, I live 2 blocks away from Central where the light rail construction occurs, I didnt want it down here, I worked at the Phoenix Art Museum when the first section was put in and knew the impact it would have on the traffic/businesses, but it has been so much worse than thought with the amount of dirt in the air has increased, the migration of mice, scorpions, and noise and delays and issues with leaving my neighborhood to go to work, it has been stressful and has prolonged my commute to work and coming home. This has not been a beneficial use of recourses for S. Phoenix residents, we have seen lots of colures to medical buildings, which is crucial for any community and the traffic makes it harder for pedestrians to walk and cross safely, I hope this ends soon and do not extend onto Baseline !
