Heather Hoecke <br />12th Avenue has always been a dangerous <br />place for kids to ride their bikes from Peregrine <br />Circle to White Oak Road. The bike path is <br />incomplete between these two roads. Cars <br />continually speed down 12th Avenue, which has <br />a 45 mph speed limit to start with, especially <br />young drivers. Cars drag race. Drivers are <br />distracted while driving. And, our children are <br />expected to share the road with these drivers. <br />Our children should be given a safe alternative in <br />the form of a completed bike path along 12th <br />Avenue. <br />Bonnie Moore <br />We have lived in SouthTrappers Crossings nearly 19 <br />years. We pushed getting access to trails and parks from <br />the beginning. There was an assessment on all the lots <br />for this access. Eventually portion one was completed. <br />Portion 2 and 3 have not been completed with the <br />assessment money since the money has been allocated <br />to other city projects to my understanding. I walk my <br />dogs nearly every day along 12 th avenue and have had <br />to stand in the ditch to allow cars to pass that don’t wait <br />for oncoming cars to pass. There are always a few who <br />think it’s funny to come right me and bear off at the end. <br />This is not possible to maneuver if I had a stroller or <br />bicycle or had kiddos with me. The other unsafe area is <br />at the corner if 12 th and Birch. If I’m walking against <br />traffic then it is difficult to see cars that are turning into <br />the lane because the ditch is deep and the weeds are <br />tall. Drivers are not looking for pedestrians to be around <br />the corner. Continuous accessible paths for the many <br />pedestrians is imperative for our development before an <br />accident or worse happens.
