Three legs of the intersection <br />have free right turns. At some locations, curb <br />ramps are missing or not aligned. <br />Stinson Blvd NE <br />Stinson Blvd NE has wider shoulders than <br />similarly busy roadways in the area, with <br />relatively few driveways, which provided some <br />measure of comfort for some participants. The <br />roadway narrows north of 37th Ave NE, forcing <br />people on bikes to share the road with people <br />driving. The pavement quality is deteriorating <br />along Stinson Blvd NE and requires people <br />biking to look out for potholes/uncomfortable <br />gaps in the pavement. <br />Saint Anthony Blvd <br />Participants noted that Saint Anthony Blvd feels <br />too narrow to bike comfortably alongside <br />vehicle traffic, forcing some to bike in the gutter <br />very close to the curb. On the western border of <br />Saint Anthony Village (at Stinson Blvd) the <br />roadway transitions to the Grand Round <br />bikeway system, with wide sidewalks serving as <br />a shared biking and walking facility. <br />Roosevelt St NE <br />Roosevelt St NE is a typical neighborhood street <br />in Saint Anthony Village. There was limited <br />vehicle traffic and very few vehicles parked on <br />the street. Participants named this the most <br />comfortable segment of the bike audit route. <br />BIKE AUDIT KEY FINDINGS, CONTINUED <br />69
