reason for a curb like that on the south side of the intersection that sticks out like that, I think <br />f there have been complaints about <br />Brooks and Hamline, a couple houses in, I work from home quite a bit, I walk and skate and ride <br />bikes with my young daughter on <br />side of the intersection of Pascal and Brooks is necessary or would keep us safer. A sidewalk or <br />southeast corner of Pascal and Brooks. Even if the curb on the south side of Pascal bumped out <br />half as far as the markers are now, it would be too far. <br />5. Good morning- I am writing to provide feedback on the Pascal Street pilot project. I walk, run, and <br />bicycle through this neighborhood (where I also live) quite frequently and I do not feel that <br />narrowing the roadway here is necessary. There is not much tra <br />is concentrated during the rush hour with people driving to and from their homes to work. I have <br />never felt unsafe walking along this stretch of road. <br />6. I do walk along that street, and I’ve never seen a need for more protection from cars. When I walk <br />I’m often with my wife, and always with one or two dogs, so it’s not like I’m a single person that can <br />easily stay tight against the curb. But even so I’ve <br />Cars always seem to give enough room that it’s easy to avoid each other. About half the time that <br />I’ve seen pedestrians along that stretch of road since the temporary sidewalk went in they have <br />not been using it. Sometimes they are on the opposite side of the road, sometimes two or more <br />people are walking side-by-side with one in the sidewalk and the other in the driving lanes, and <br />other times people are just walking in what used to be the middle of the street. So cars losing the <br />use of part of the road frequently forces them closer to pedestrians than they would have been <br />before. And while the sections of the temporary sidewalk on Brooks and on the southeast corner <br />of Brooks and Pascal aren’t really la <br />coming west on Brooks tend to move closer to the center of the road as they come to the stop sign <br />at Pascal. Then when a vehicle is coming north on Pascal and turning east on Brooks the posts <br />there force them well toward the center of the road. I’ve had a few times since the temporary <br />sidewalk went in that I had to drive uncomfortably close to another car in this location. So I see the <br />temporary sidewalk as unnecessary, unattractive and probably less safe than the wider road. I <br />would like it to be removed soon. <br />7. <br />through this part of the street. I often think this is potentially an area of accidents: the over-path <br />hump is simply too high to bike over and bikers mostly do it by zig-zagging. That is dangerous since <br />the incoming cars will not notice the bikers unless getting too close.
