Implementation 5

87 Imperial Avenue Complete Streets Plan DRAFT

5.1 Implementation
Implementing the CSP may require a phased approach for further analysis and feasibility. The following phasing is recommended to implement the recommendations. However, El Centro reserves the right to implement recommendations at their discretion or as funding becomes available.

Phase One - Segment B
Imperial Avenue between Scott Road and Lincoln Road, or Segment B, has a high concentration of key destinations and recreational resources, such as the El Centro Library, Carlos Aguilar Park, the future Villa Avenue class I facility, connections to several schools, and many businesses. While there are sidewalks along the west side of the frontage road, there are no sidewalks along Imperial Avenue, and there are minimal east-west crossings. Given the high concentration of destinations and opportunity for local connectivity in the activity areas, Segment B is recommended for phase one implementation.

Phase Two - Segment C
Imperial Avenue from Lincoln Avenue to Treshill Road, or Segment C, is recommended for phase two implementation for its importance as a regional connector and density of destinations. By constructing the proposed class I facility, pedestrians and bicyclists can more easily travel between the Cities of Imperial and El Centro, connecting with Segment B improvements at Lincoln Avenue.

Phase Three - Segment A
While Segment A of Imperial Avenue, from Adams Avenue to Scott Avenue, demonstrates a need for Complete Street improvements, it is recommended for phase three implementation. Segment A currently has existing sidewalks, crosswalks, and bus shelters. Although bike facilities are currently missing, the existing infrastructure provides adequate space for other modes of travels.

For planning-level cost estimates of the Preferred Concept Plan, intended for planning purposes only, refer to Appendix A.6.

5.2 Potential Funding
Sources
Federal, state, and local government agencies invest billions of dollars annually in the nation’s transportation system. However, only a fraction of those funds are used to develop policies, plans, and projects to improve conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians which is key to creating Complete Streets. Obtaining funds is a competitive process and often limited. Projects desired and championed by the community are often unfunded due to municipalities applying for the wrong type of funding or the unawareness of existing funding opportunities. This chapter serves as a guide and resource for the City of El Centro in the pursuit of funding.

Where Does the Money Come From?
The Legislative Branch of government proposes appropriations — a law that provides an agency with budget authority — of taxpayer funds for government functions, including federal agencies in the Executive Branch of government, like the U.S. Department of Transportation. Once The President signs the appropriations bills, they become law and make funds available to agencies that can allocate funding through grant programs. Local agencies, like the City of El Centro, can then apply to secure available funds for implementing priority projects identified in a document such as this CSP.

5.2.1 Funding Tables
The following Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 identify an extensive list of potential federal, state and local funding opportunities that may be used for a wide range of projects such as the design of a corridor with pedestrian, bicycle, transit, automobile, placemaking, and urban greening enhancements.

A.1 Caltrans Comments for City to Consider
The following is a summary of the comments received from the Caltrans team that participated during the planning process of this Complete Streets Plan. Although the City’s goal is to complete the relinquishment process and take ownership of Imperial Avenue, the City appreciates the partnership and comments. The City will consider the comments below during the design, engineering, and implementation phase.

Overall Comments
The report mentions that under the Regional Long-Range Transportation Plan (2024), a widening project from four to six lanes has been prioritized. Being that this is a CSP, adding vehicle lanes not only adds capacity which may trigger vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) mitigation, but it becomes harder to slow speeds down and increases conflict points and exposure of pedestrians at crosswalks.

All proposed urban greening would need to have a landscape maintenance agreement with the city of El Centro for maintenance and irrigation.

All driveways will need to meet Highway Design Manual (HDM) standards for commercial and/or residential requirements.

All proposed sidewalks need to meet HDM standards.

All transit stops must have an executed permit with the transit operator.

All transit equipment (i.e., bus shelter, seating, trash/recycling receptables, etc.) must follow Caltrans requirements such as meeting the Clear Recovery Zone (CRZ), horizontal clearance, and have a maintenance agreement with the transit operator.

An Intersection Safety and Operational Assessment Process (ISOAP) Report will be required at any intersection where the intersection control is being proposed to change (i.e., signalized), added a vehicular lane other than striping, and other criteria.

Lanes for all segments are shown mostly as 11’ wide. Reduction of Lane width and removal of shoulders requires an approved Design Standard Decision Document (DSDD) unless the Design Information Bulletin (DIB) 94 will be applied.

Consultation with the D11 Design Liaison (DDL) is needed. Please reference HDM Section 301 (Traveled Way Standards) and 302 (Highway Shoulder Standards).

Modifications to current traffic signal operations and loop detector equipment is needed for changes made to traffic movement pattern created by added NB/SB Imperial Ave (SR-86) lanes and signalized intersections.

Added bike signalization detection is recommended at signalized intersections.

SEGMENT A
The intersection of Adams Ave and Imperial Ave has two
‘free rights.’ One at westbound (WB) Adams Ave to northbound (NB) Imperial Ave and the second from southbound (SB) Imperial Ave to WB Adams Ave. The State agrees with ‘teeing-up’ the intersection, but this will require an ISOAP study for the lane modification at the intersection. It will also require the relocation or replacement of existing signals, vehicle detection system modification, and removal of pedestrian refuge areas, if signalization is the preferred alternative in the ISOAP study. Adding a right turn pocket on SB Imperial Ave will require additional ROW to accommodate the needed storage for the movement.

SEGMENT B
The signalization of Villa Ave intersection requires an ISOAP study.

SEGMENT C
An ISOAP is required for the proposed signalization at Lincoln Ave and El Dorado Ave.

1 Imperial Avenue Corridor Study - Safety Assessment
December 9, 2024
To: Joe Punsalan, KTUA
From: Michael Baker International
Subject: Imperial Avenue Corridor Study - Safety Assessment Introduction
The City of El Centro is developing a Complete Streets Plan that is intended to transform a 1.5 mile auto-oriented segment of Imperial Avenue (State Route 86) within the City of El Centro into a multimodal corridor to meet the needs of pedestrian, bicyclists, and transit users. This segment of Imperial Avenue between Adams Avenue and the northern city limits at Treshill Road was designed and constructed in the 1960s as a state highway prioritizing vehicle speeds at the cost of pedestrian, bicyclists, and transit users. This report will review existing conditions and identify existing collision locations along Imperial Avenue and will help identify safety needs for all users.

Study Area
Imperial Avenue between Threshill Road and Adams Avenue is situated in a north-south orientation in northern El Centro. This Existing Conditions Assessment (Assessment) will analyze seven intersections and four segments (Exhibit 1).

Study Intersections:

1. Imperial Avenue and Cruickshank Drive

2. Imperial Avenue and Bradshaw Drive

105 Imperial Avenue Complete Streets Plan DRAFT
Imperial Avenue Corridor Study -Safety Assessment 3
As shown in Table 1, the intersections are currently operating at LOS D or better which is considered acceptable operating conditions. The intersection Imperial Avenue & Villa Avenue is currently operating as a two-way stop control on the side streets (Villa Avenue). The delay experienced at this location is high due to the volume of traffic on Imperial Avenue and the time needed for motorist to make a left-turn onto Imperial Avenue from Villa Avenue. The delay is not presented in the LOS summary table at this location due to the fact that motorists will find an alternative route to access Imperial Avenue and not wait in excess of 3 to 5 minutes to turn left. This corridor study will explore traffic control options to improve access and operations at this location.

Segment Volumes
The basis for roadway segment analysis is the relationship between the measured daily traffic volume and the Level of Service (LOS) capacity thresholds established according to roadway classifications.

The analysis results provide a planning-level assessment of whether a segment is under, approaching, or over the planning level capacity threshold. The City of El Centro has adopted level of service “C” or better as the standard for acceptable operating conditions for roadway segments. Table 2 presents the roadway segment capacity thresholds by LOS contained in Table ME.3 from the City’s TSG.

As shown in Table 3, the roadway segment analysis is presented for three segments along Imperial Avenue. Imperial Avenue is currently operating at LOS E from Scott Avenue to Euclid Avenue.

However, this roadway is planned to serve multiple modes such as pedestrians and bicyclists, not just the automobile.

Existing Conditions
Imperial Avenue is a four-lane arterial between Treshill Road and Bradshaw Avenue and a six-lane Arterial between Bradshaw Avenue to Adams Avenue. It serves as a major north-south thoroughfare across El Centro. The existing land use consists of commercial and residential along the side streets of Imperial Avenue.

Existing Conditions - Data Collection
AM and PM peak hour intersection counts were collected on October 24, 2023 and November 9, 2023. AM peak period
intersection counts were collected from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and PM peak period intersection counts were collected from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Exhibit 2 shows the existing study intersection lane geometry and Exhibit 3 shows the AM and PM peak hour volumes at the study intersections and daily traffic volumes on the study segments.

Existing Conditions -Traffic Volumes
Level of Service (LOS) is commonly used as a qualitative description of intersection operation and is based on the capacity of the travel lanes approaching the intersection, the volume of traffic using the intersection, and the average vehicle delay. The intersection analysis conforms to the operational analysis methodology outlined the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 6th Edition) and performed utilizing Synchro 10 traffic analysis software.

The HCM analysis methodology describes the operation of an intersection using a range of level of service from LOS A (free-flow conditions) to LOS F (severely congested conditions).

Intersection Volumes
For signalized intersections, signal timing data and parameters such as cycle lengths, splits, and clearance intervals were obtained from the current signal timing data sheets provided by City staff and incorporated into the Synchro model. Synchro reports average vehicle delay for a signalized intersection, which correspond to a particular LOS, to describe the overall operation of an intersection.

Unsignalized intersection LOS for all-way stops is based on the average vehicle delay for all approaches. Average vehicle delay for one-way or two-way stop-controlled intersections is influenced by available gaps in traffic flow on the non-controlled approaches and LOS is based on the approach with the worst delay. The City of El Centro has adopted level of service “C” or better as the standard for acceptable operating conditions for intersections except for the intersection of Cruickshank Drive and Imperial Avenue where LOS D is considered acceptable operating conditions per Mobility Element Policy 4.4.

107 Imperial Avenue Complete Streets Plan DRAFT
Imperial Avenue Corridor Study -Safety Assessment 7
Existing Conditions - Bicycle and Pedestrian Assessment Imperial Avenue was designed and constructed in the 1960s as a state highway (SR-86), prioritizing vehicle speed and throughput at the cost of the convenience and safety of pedestrians and bicyclists.

This is evident through its lack of sidewalks for 1.25 miles, open drainage channels on both sides, very few crosswalks and lack of bicycle facilities. Since the 1960s, the corridor has developed with a mixture of different land uses increasing the need for bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

There are currently no bicycle facilities on Imperial Avenue.

According the El Centro’s General Plan, there are plans to implement a Class IV Cycle Track along Imperial Avenue and Class I Multi-Use Paths along side streets intersecting Imperial Avenue. Exhibit 4 identifies the planned bikeways along Imperial Avenue and the surrounding roadways. Exhibit 5 shows the existing bicycle AM and PM peak hour volumes at the study intersections.

Currently, there are existing sidewalks along the southern part of the study segment near Adams Avenue. The major intersections along Imperial Avenue have a high-visibility crosswalk but lack ADA curb ramps. Exhibit 6 shows the existing pedestrian network and Exhibit 7 shows the existing pedestrian AM and PM peak hour volumes at the study intersections.

Existing Conditions - Transit Assessment
Public transit in El Centro is provided by ICTC through IVT. There are three bus lines that currently stop along Imperial Avenue. Stop signs currently exist along the side streets of Imperial Avenue at major shopping districts. Existing transit routes and stops are identified in Exhibit 8.

Safety Assessment
Data
Collision data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for the five-year period from 2018-2022 was used for this Assessment. SWITRS is a statewide database used for showing collision data collected by the California Highway Patrol. This Assessment focuses on collision severity, type of collision, and the cause of collision.

Overall Collision Trends
Exhibit 9 shows that between 2018-2022, six collisions resulted in severe injury, 25 resulted in visible injury, and 23 resulted in complaint of pain. there were approximately 54 total collisions along Imperial Avenue between Treshill Road and Adams Avenue. 47 of those collisions related to vehicle only collisions. Three of those collisions were bicyclist-involved and four were pedestrian-involved (Exhibit 10).

Vehicle-Only Collision Trends
Exhibit 11 identifies vehicle-only collision locations and their severity.

Table 4 breaks down the crash severity by location. As shown, no fatalities occurred between 2018 and 2022. Most collisions resulted in visible injury. Cruickshank Drive and Adams Avenue along Imperial Avenue had the most collisions occur.

The most common type of collision was Rear End and most common contributing cause was unsafe speed. This can occur due to distracted driving, constant starting and stopping along the corridor, or lack of traffic calming infrastructure. A summary of crash types by location is provided in Table 5 and crash cause in Table 6.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Involved Collisions
Between 2018-2022, there were approximately 54 total collisions along Imperial Avenue between Treshill Road and Adams Avenue. Three of those collisions were bicyclist-involved and four were pedestrianinvolved.

Exhibit 13 illustrates the location of bicycle and pedestrian involved crashes. As shown, the most bicycle and pedestrian collisions occurred at Euclid Avenue.

Of the bicycle and pedestrian involved crashes reported during this time, there were three crashes that resulted in a severe injury (Exhibit

12.) Out of the pedestrian crashes, two resulted in a pedestrian crossing the street not in a crosswalk at Cruickshank Drive and Euclid Avenue.

The absence or quality of bicycle facilities along street segments and intersections may lead to an increase in bicycle and vehicle conflicts, resulting in collisions. El Centro’s Circulation Element of the General Plan currently recommends a Class IV Cycle Track along Imperial Avenue which may lead to a decrease in bicycle-involved collisions and increase bicycle interest within the community. Currently, some safety issues along Imperial Avenue at Pico Ave, Euclid Ave, and Adams Ave include:
• Free right turn lanes and slip-lanes
• No bike lanes, lane markings or signage
• Large intersection to cross
• Lack of high-visibility crosswalks
29%
Severe Injury
29%
Complaint of Pain
43%
Other Visible Injury
Free right turn lanes: When a free right turn lane is on an approach to an intersection, cyclists lose their partially protected position on the right edge of the roadway and are forced to interact with right-turning traffic in advance of the intersection. This may cause bicycle and vehicle conflicts which could cause a collision.

Lack of shared lane markings (sharrows) on roadways lacking bicycle facilities: In the absence of a bicycle lane of a roadway, vehicles may neglect to safely share a travel lane with bicyclists when there are no shared lane marking, which may compel a bicyclist to ride closer to street parking or the curb. This can create a lot of stress for a bicyclist trying to maneuver the roadway without any protection.

Uncontrolled left turn bike movement across highways: When a bicyclist is making a left turn across a busy roadway, the probability of a collision occurring is high. There is lack of visibility, lack of protection for a bicyclist, and high roadway speeds. The rider must navigate through multiple lanes of oncoming traffic and can cause a lot of stress for the ride.

Pedestrian-involved collisions that occurred when the pedestrian was in a crosswalk could indicate the need to improve visibility of pedestrians at existing marked crosswalks.

Conclusion
The most auto only involved collisions occurred at Cruickshank Drive and Adams Avenue and the most bicycle and pedestrian involved collisions occurred at Euclid Drive. The most common collision type was rear end and it’s contributing factor was unsafe speed. Both bicycle and pedestrian collisions and auto-only collisions resulted in either a visible injury.

Implementing complete streets concepts and traffic calming could improve Exhibit 12. Bicycle & Pedestrian safety barriers along Imperial Avenue for all users.

Imperial Avenue serves as a major north-south thoroughfare across El Centro which currently exists as a four-lane arterial primarily serving vehicles. The preferred concept of the Imperial Avenue Complete Streets Plan aims to preserve Imperial Avenue as an essential regional roadway while incorporating needed safety and beautification improvements for people walking, bicycling, and taking transit. Components of the Preferred Concept along Imperial Avenue from Treshill Road to Adams Avenue include:
• Increase vehicular travel lanes in each direction from two lanes to three lanes on Imperial Avenue from Cruikshank Drive to Adams Avenue.
• Construct Class I bicycle facilities (separated by raised medians and/or landscaping from vehicular travel lanes) along both sides of Imperial Avenue.
• Add green conflict striping across roadways and driveways to increase visibility of bicyclists traveling along Imperial Avenue. • Improve the Frontage Road on the west side of Imperial Avenue from Scott Road to Lincoln Avenue to one-way in the northbound approach.
• At Lincoln Avenue, improve intersection by installing a new traffic signal, add marked crosswalks, and allow left-turning movements in/out of Lincoln Avenue.
• At El Dorado Avenue, improve intersection by installing a new traffic signal, add marked crosswalks, and allow left-turning movements in/out of El Dorado Avenue.
• Improve existing transit stops by providing shade structures and/or trees, benches, lighting, etc.

Exhibit 14 shows the preferred concept intersection lane geometry and Exhibit 15 shows the AM and PM peak hour volumes at the study intersections and daily traffic volumes on the study segments.

Preferred Concept -Traffic Volumes
Level of Service (LOS) is commonly used as a qualitative description of intersection operation and is based on the capacity of the travel lanes approaching the intersection, the volume of traffic using the intersection, and the average vehicle delay. The intersection analysis conforms to the operational analysis methodology outlined the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 6th Edition) and performed utilizing Synchro 10 traffic analysis software.

The HCM analysis methodology describes the operation of an intersection using a range of level of service from LOS A (free-flow conditions) to LOS F (severely congested conditions).

As shown in Table 4 the intersections are currently operating at LOS D or better which is considered acceptable operating conditions.

All study intersections either improved or stayed the same from the existing conditions volumes.

Segment Volumes
The basis for roadway segment analysis is the relationship between the measured daily traffic volume and the Level of Service (LOS) capacity thresholds established according to roadway classifications.

The analysis results provide a planning-level assessment of whether a segment is under, approaching, or over the planning level capacity threshold. The City of El Centro has adopted level of service “C” or better as the standard for acceptable operating conditions for roadway segments. Table 5 presents the roadway segment capacity thresholds by LOS contained in Table ME.3 from the City’s TSG.

As shown in Table 6, the roadway segment analysis is presented for three segments along Imperial Avenue. Imperial Avenue is currently operating at LOS E from Scott Avenue to Euclid Avenue.

However, this roadway is planned to serve multiple modes such as pedestrians and bicyclists, not just the automobile. The study segments analyzed improved under the preferred concept.

Intersection Volumes
For signalized intersections, signal timing data and parameters such as cycle lengths, splits, and clearance intervals were obtained from the current signal timing data sheets provided by City staff and incorporated into the Synchro model. Synchro reports average vehicle delay for a signalized intersection, which correspond to a particular LOS, to describe the overall operation of an intersection.

Unsignalized intersection LOS for all-way stops is based on the average vehicle delay for all approaches. Average vehicle delay for one-way or two-way stop-controlled intersections is influenced by available gaps in traffic flow on the non-controlled approaches and LOS is based on the approach with the worst delay. The City of El Centro has adopted level of service “C” or better as the standard for acceptable operating conditions for intersections except for the intersection of Cruickshank Drive and Imperial Avenue where LOS D is considered acceptable operating conditions per Mobility Element Policy 4.4.

32 Area between Imperial Ave and Aurora. It’s almost impossible to get across without an accident. Cars should have an easier way to get to the Convalescent home and there should really be a pedestrian walk way with flashing lights. I’m rather surprised no one has gotten run over

Extreme amounts litter along the street, ditch and fence in the area of Vons shopping center and the railroad tracks; Cardenas shopping center; Costco shopping center; and in general up and down the whole ave especially after the wind. (It just piles up and rarely gets picked up). 3. There is little to no foliage along the Ave. Nobshade trees, very very few desert plants, desert rock designs using decomposed granite, etc. In general, Imperial Ave is congested with traffic, hot with no shade relief and frankly, ugly and depressing. 4.

59 Area where Central High School is at should have another stop light either around the tattoo shop or on the next block because traffic is very congested and theres a lot of Jr high and High school students as pedestrians.

surprised me to know that the city was building a protected bike lane headed north out of the city when in reality we needed more protection for our students commuting to school. I have worked at both Central and Southwest high schools and our students who ride their bikes have complained to me quiet often that parents are the worst drivers when trying to drop off their kids and that they resort to aggressive riding in order to avoid being hit. If there were a plan to install a protected bike lane heading south from state towards Ross or even Ocotillo, this would help our kids manage the traffic more safely.
74 The school crosswalk at Holt and Imperial during rush hour is very dangerous for students and cars needing to suddenly break. Please consider a pedestrian tunnel or bridge. Or even a light, which can alert drivers from afar; not just the crosswalk lady. 1/20/2024 4:51 PM

Merge lane from Adams onto Imperial by Carl's Jr., very crowded at times, people merging unsafely to get in whole people are trying to merge out to turn on El Centro Ave to get to 7/11. Area in front of old Carrows and Library separating Frontage Road and Imperial Ave is unsightly and littered. Takes away from the beautiful architecture of the Library. There's always issues from the turn lane on Bradshaw onto Imperial, people don't use the correct turn lane, signs need to be updated and arrows painted on lane.

123 Side walks- on the west side of Adams and Imperial - (by Celia’s) the area is not appealing at all- the Ave needs light, needs TLC-and curb appeal. The empty buildings, The DMV, the cityvalley has exponentially grown and yet we have the same small DMV building- The lanes on Imperial Ave. are too narrow. The trafficking to enter the school zones - it doesnt feel safe for pedestrians or cars. Is there an emergency lane on either side? 1/19/2024 4:34 PM

174 By Central Union High School and Wilson Jr High School; I’ve witnessed numerous times vehicles not stopping or giving the right of way to students trying to cross Imperial Avenue.

There’s an existing crosswalk at Imperial and Holt Avenue however another one should be placed at Imperial and Brighton Avenue as many students cross at that intersection and vehicles just speed by not noticing or not caring to stop for students/pedestrians. 1/18/2024 10:50 AM
175 Intersections near Target and Costco as well as Adams Ave with homeless in several areas.

Unsafe pedestrian crossing near ECRM is a problem despite cross walk (people often dart across traffic). Also people parked along Imperial Ave near ECRMC open car doors and are entering/exiting vehicles with close traffic passing. People also often run red lights in all areas 1/18/2024 10:08 AM

They should be there longer. Plus more cross guards because the cars don't even slow down even when they see children. There should be a camera that will issue tickets to those individuals, that make it unsafe for our children.

Also have a billboard or sign with a map of were you are and what is around you like the maps they have in the malls. Most importantly is to maintain what is being put in place because it's not worth it to try to make change and beautify the city with innovation but then let it go to the waste side by not having services to maintain the cleanliness and beautification. 1/27/2024 1:50 AM

36 Biking is my main mode of transportation as our household only has one car. I typically avoid biking down imperial Avenue due to the heavy traffic and lack of bike lanes. I used the smaller residential streets but those are less convenient as they aren’t fully connected. I really hate biking over the train track too which is why the side streets are a bit easier because I can go slow. Train tracks see scary on a bike but I don’t know if there is a way to fix that. 1/24/2024 10:31 AM

43 Not specific towards Imperial Ave. but the train routes that intersect city roads are a significant delay/hazards during the day. Be stopped at peak traffic hours in the morning during times when school/work is set to start or end. There’s should be set operating hours or at least some form of notice that delays should be expected. The city should make more funding available towards better railroad infrastructure!

54 1. Safety in our city is always a concern. The amount of homeless or unhoused individuals along or just off Imperial Ave is increasing. They obviously leave the area in which they hang out in a very unsanitary condition. And many are becoming more and more aggressive demanding money from people. Safety from crime is always an issue. 2. I’ve lived in El Centro for 47 years now. And at various times have volunteered on litter and graffiti clean up programs. But now you have to be very careful of used needles thrown on the ground. 3. I’ve always dreamed of a beautiful landscaped and shaded Imperial Ave (along with the rest of El Centro). But it’s been a pipe dream. Our low income, hot dusty, dirty little town never gets attention from Sacramento and never has the funding to make those dreams possible. 4. I’m sure you’ve been told to look at Imperial for an example. I understand they are a smaller community with far less miles on their Main Street. But look at the way they designed the sidewalks, added very pretty shaded trees and landscape, beautiful lighting and decorative seating. So it can be done. The downtown fell apart when drug and mental health programs moved downtown and the drug abusers moved in. No one wants to walk or shop downtown due to safety issues. Imperial Ave is heading in the same direction. A fact that can’t be disputed.

However, I never give up hope. Maybe this project is a little positive spark that begin the improvement of El Centro!

59 I believe the whole city needs to do real progress in beautifying the city. It's a mess. There's no reason why La Brucherie Rd/Ave couldn't be like the Palm Desert area; walking sidewalks with benches, trees and greenery all along the road. It's so depressing that when one comes into town, it looks so awful. Look how long it took for the medians and ramp areas of town got finally looking decent. Something Yuma did since way back in the 1980s. The city must do more to be more attractive, not to even mention the horror of the 5th street/old post office area.

Real shame.

Ross Avenue between 8th and 4th streets blocks has NO sidewalks and it’s a pretty well traveled by pedestrians and cyclists ( btw they have bike lanes painted) yet there’s no easement with sidewalks of any kind so people walking/running/ biking are forced to go into the street.

72 El semáforo para dar vuelta a la izquierda hacia la plaza sobre Imperial Avenue y State, vuelve a cambiar a rojo una vez se vuelve a verde, ocasionado congestión en la avenida. En general, los semáforos de ese cruce están mal configurados y deberían de ser arreglados. 1/20/2024 6:56 PM
73 Más paisajes verdes con sombra para que los niños se puedan divertir 1/20/2024 6:35 PM 74 Bike safety may be a more frequent issue that will come up in the future. Students are using ebikes and scooters to commute as single income households with one vehicle are becoming more prevalent here in the valley. Parents would feel more confident in allowing their kids to bike to school if we had better bike paths going to places that mattered. 1/20/2024 4:58 PM
75 Hope to see more landscaping and beautification of Imperial along with more stop signs or lights for people especially kids who use it to get to and from school. 1/20/2024 4:33 PM
76 There needs to be a place for homeless.. 1/20/2024 3:09 PM 77 Prices are too high and there's not enough things to do during the day ,if your stay at home mom and not even part time jobs
1/20/2024 2:15 PM
78 Lighting in the inner city neighborhoods would be help ful too dark at night. 1/20/2024 10:50 AM 79 I do not have kids anymore in those schools by Imperial Ave, but I do care for others. Please work more in the students, people’s security crossing to and from school. Thank you! 1/20/2024 10:36 AM
80 Don’t knock down old buildings instead try to restore and upgrade them to keep El Centro historically intact. Sincerely an ex -resident of imperial valley . 1/20/2024 10:13 AM
81 Would love to see more character in El Centro’s infrastructure that would support its desire to be an arts and cultural conscious city. This may be in the form of beautiful bus stops like in Imperial and IVC and more murals/art interventions throughout the city. The downtown area has artful moments like mid-century modern architecture and murals that could inspire further development throughout El Centro.
1/20/2024 9:36 AM
82 The streets of Indio and La Quinta would be beneficial to replicate for the Imperial Valley -- they are beautiful and safe.
1/20/2024 9:09 AM
83 Yes…all schools need speed bumps and flashing crosswalk signs. More trees are a must in this town, low maintenance trees and greenery would make this town worth visiting.

Maintenance of landscaping, especially around businesses and school areas are greatly needed! Tall palm trees along medians are attractive
1/20/2024 8:46 AM
84 Properties need to be cleaned up Stop developing new lots and finish with existing areas such as in front of Lowe’s and in front of Walmart. Those areas look like crap. Get rid of the homeless and the zombies that hangout around Vons, it isn’t safe after dark. 1/20/2024 8:38 AM
85 More police presence. 1/20/2024 8:36 AM
86 People drive too fast . I worry about panhandlers in the median . Jay walkers . 1/20/2024 8:19 AM 87 No 1/20/2024 7:51 AM
88 The homeless situation makes it very unsafe to ride a bike or walk. Any art that is displayed will be destroyed since this area has a high rate of crime or it will be damaged in a matter of days. The benches will be used to sleep on by the homeless or drug addicts off of Adams or walking down from the Methadone Clinic. Those two issues need to be corrected before starting a new project that the city will not be able to maintain. 1/20/2024 7:19 AM

89 Streets with turn offs. ( OLIVE) need more lighting. Way too much cross traffic. 1/20/2024 7:05 AM 90 Lanscaping is needed and trash needs to be removed more often from the roadside drains. 1/20/2024 6:00 AM 91 Soy de calexico pero me encanta el centro casi aquí ago la mayoría de mis compras y venir a comer me gusta hay mucho que ver y haser me encanta el centro 1/20/2024 5:02 AM
92 I appreciate your concern for this part of El Centro!!! 1/20/2024 1:51 AM 93 Enforce traffic laws such as speeding and passing red lights on imperial ave. 1/19/2024 11:13 PM 94 Get rid of all the abandoned buildings 1/19/2024 10:11 PM 95 Would be nice to see more landscaping even if it’s desert scape 1/19/2024 10:02 PM 96 Consider following the lead of Palm Springs. Professional landscaping will improve aesthetics and make the city more inviting.
1/19/2024 9:32 PM
97 Homeless make imperial Ave unsafe. Especially near the fast food restaurants and around stores. They can harass, destroy property with no consequences. 1/19/2024 9:29 PM
98 It is different from transit, bicycle, and pedestrians; but I think it would be a good idea to increase our area/region native flowers to create a beautiful environment for people, animals, and insects such ad bees.
1/19/2024 8:57 PM
99 Personally, trying to revitalize imperial avenue is a bad idea. That street is a major street and not designed to walk or bike. Businesses are to spread out and far in between. You need to focus on Main Street. That is a street that promotes walking culture. From imperial ave to 4th street. That is a great area to walk. Invest in grants for people to make businesses, restaurants, and please not another taco shop. Culturally diverse the area. Paint the buildings, let people rent them out, so many smaller towns take pride in their home towns and they are way more rural than the valley. We have so much history here. 1/19/2024 8:46 PM
100 Encourage the businesses/homes along imperial avenue to beautify their building/home with a fresh coat of paint or landscaping their yard.
1/19/2024 8:37 PM
101 Westbound Adam's yielding onto North bound Imperial Ave. is bit tricky to avoid accidents especially if northbound vehicles turning right onto ElCentro Ave. 1/19/2024 8:32 PM
102 El letrero de vienbenidos a el centro ca.que sea bonito podemos cooperar pero ase falta nadie lo a restaurado.espero lo tomen en cuenta porque eso daría belleza al entrar a la imperial. 1/19/2024 8:01 PM
103 We need more protected bike lanes around the city and not only on Imperial Ave. 1/19/2024 7:58 PM 104 The "El Centro" sign on the Imperial Overpass should be lit up for nights for visibility. 1/19/2024 7:54 PM 105 NA 1/19/2024 7:46 PM
106 Historical murals, fountains (well maybe not considering how hit it is in the Summer), sidewalk art, "Walk of Fame" for actors that have been here, separate quadrants with color (blue for Blue Angels for example) or themes for each quadrant, solar powered city lights 1/19/2024 7:40 PM
107 Maintenance needed along highway railroad is an eyesore, corridor by Rallys, etc eyesore all the transients around chase bank, etc...
1/19/2024 7:38 PM
108 It would be nice to landscape more, following the foot steps of the Coachella Valley with native plants and trees. Natural rock and improved median curbs. Especially Imperial Avenue between Cruickshank and Euclid ave
1/19/2024 7:23 PM
109 Me dan miedo los indigentes 1/19/2024 5:48 PM
110 Nice job revamping! Hopefully it’ll go a long way to making El centro a nicer looking city 1/19/2024 5:18 PM 111 N/a 1/19/2024 4:49 PM
112 We need a more improved transportation system. Beautification of the Ave, more lighting, more considerations for disabled individuals and bike riders. Maybe a bridge that takes you from I-8 W through Imperial Ave and an exit ramp at Pico or surroundings areas. (Maybe too much!?) Thank you for the survey.
1/19/2024 4:34 PM
113 I just see a lot of pedestrians jaywalking on imperial Ave. And I find it unsafe because there is not enough crosswalks.
1/19/2024 4:27 PM
Imperial Avenue Complete Streets Plan: Community Survey 32 / 61
114 I think the city need to pay more attention to inner city streets with lights rather than the main streets
1/19/2024 3:28 PM
115 Lancaster, California really improved its downtown area. Not only did they add a median which helps the flow of traffic and pedestrians, but they included a surplus in trees which made it look incredible. I highly recommend looking up articles that show the changes they made and the statistics showing the increase in sales for business on their BLVD. El Centro is growing and more major businesses are recognizing our city.
1/19/2024 2:41 PM
116 Yes why are most sidewalks and street have areas where the grass and shrubbery is overgrown. Our city is not attractive at all.
1/19/2024 2:36 PM
117 Hacen falta espacios verdes , más árboles ( los que existen los cortan ) Ubicar teléfonos de emergencia en diferentes áreas ( por robo de celulares ) 1/19/2024 2:31 PM
118 More blinking pedestrian lights to slow down drivers. 1/19/2024 2:16 PM 119 There needs to be more greenery and attractive spaces. More lighting. 1/19/2024 1:38 PM 120 MANHOLE COVERS ARE POORLY LOCATED...SHOULD BE IN CENTER OF LANES.

CURRENTLY THEY ARE POSITIONED WHERE YOUR TIRES HIT EACH ONE. ANNOYING. 1/19/2024 1:14 PM
121 Please add more greenery to beautify the city! Maybe make more lanes, traffic is getting bigger.
1/19/2024 12:53 PM
122 Imperial avenue is a very busy route, if you increase bus stop and pedestrian cross access, it will clog traffice even more. What maybe done is to limit access to business through Imp Ave and have the access through side streets
1/19/2024 12:46 PM
123 It is an ugly commute. Where there are center island breaks between traffic change them from asphalt to a curbed island with some type of beautification. 1/19/2024 12:33 PM
124 Limpieza en las paradas de autobuses 1/19/2024 12:29 PM 125 Too many unhoused people on the streets with there mess everywhere. Main Street needs to be clean up and trash everywhere
1/19/2024 11:57 AM
126 None 1/19/2024 11:43 AM
127 The crossguards on imperial need more training and should stay with the children passing until they get on sidewalk as soon as kids cross to the middle they start walking back 1/19/2024 10:57 AM
128 Please add more vegetation … trees, grass, native flowers, etc, would make imperial avenue look prettier. It is also good for the environment … trees provide natural shade ! Adding native flowers helps pollinators too. Imperial Ave looks too urbanized. 1/19/2024 8:44 AM
129 Need designated walk-in camping area and location for homeless within walking distances to shopping areas in enclosed areas not readily visible by traffic with public bathroom and shower facilities at a reasonable cost to occupants. Perhaps 1 acre plots with designated 12ftx12ft chain-linked plots rented for affordable amount. Of which occupants could be paid upon cleaning the facilities daily. Most Homeless people will never become renters, so then these people need to be accommodated in a manner which works for both them, drivers along Imperial Avenue, businesses, and the balance of the public. 1/19/2024 8:40 AM
130 Thats all 1/19/2024 3:31 AM
131 No 1/18/2024 11:39 PM
132 Homeless scattered throughout..but not as bad as downtown. Fix downtown El Centro 1/18/2024 11:31 PM 133 We need some more desert landscaping for the valley. Even if we can’t afford flowers or trees, we can afford to put local flora and fauna in the valley. Vegetation that won’t die in the heat and will preserve itself in the winter.
1/18/2024 8:50 PM
134 Make this area more lively, nice post lamps, brighter signs add some color to the area. Looks sad
1/18/2024 8:23 PM
135 There needs to be more police presence on 8th Street by Wilson and CUHS. People are not adhering to traffic rules. Adams Ave does not look better with the median. There needs to be landscaping on the median.

136 Overpass lighting on all overpasses Especially 8th st. 1/18/2024 7:38 PM 137 Homeless in this city, drugs makes a lot of people feel unsafe. 1/18/2024 7:20 PM 138 Central needs to keep their oleanders trim, they grow into sidewalk path. Same for houses which have trees hanging over fence & low, making walking difficult. 1/18/2024 7:11 PM
139 The area near Central is concerning and walking students and pedestrians along imperial Avenue worries me maybe speed of cars should be lowered or more stop signs and cross walks could be added idk something
1/18/2024 7:01 PM
140 Low lighting, not enough shopping, no high end shopping, no mall, outdated attractions 1/18/2024 6:26 PM 141 The roads to be fixed everywhere in el Centro 1/18/2024 5:59 PM 142 I admire what the city has done with the Adam’s ave area. The sports complex is amazing the skatepark is top Notch and the water faculty is beautiful. I’d like to see that same vision carried out throughout the whole city, especially downtown main, state, and broadway are exceptionally bad.
1/18/2024 4:01 PM
143 No 1/18/2024 3:04 PM
144 Can we plant more trees? Palo Altos are native, water wise, provide shade and look great 1/18/2024 2:29 PM 145 More busses and monthly bus passes 1/18/2024 2:02 PM 146 Fix the landscaping and add more lighting across el centro. Patrol at night and notice lighting is lacking on certain streets. Gaps in street lighting and bad actors riding bikes at night. We need more police presense. Also a nice running path on labrucherie or imperial ave might boost health needs in the valley which will promote a more active street or neighborhood. 1/18/2024 1:26 PM
147 Nothing I can think of 1/18/2024 12:08 PM
148 n/a 1/18/2024 11:52 AM
149 desde Woodward hasta Treshill hay espacio intermedio que se puede poner vegetación para hacerlo más bonito.
1/18/2024 11:40 AM
150 Beautifying Imperial Avenue in general would be great! Making it more modern with more greenery and safer for people to walk or travel in would be nice. Ask businesses along Imperial Avenue to maintain their properties even vacant ones. Have an incentive or some sort of assistance for businesses looking to open or expand their business on Imperial Avenue so that vacant properties don’t look so deserted.
1/18/2024 10:50 AM
151 The increasing homeless population in the city has become worrisome and encampments set up in the field by Walmart and the old sonic building are making our city uninviting and unsafe.

Beautification of our city’s main thoroughfares is greatly needed. Although not on Imperial Ave, the pedestrian crossing/parking issue at the soccer fields near sunflower school are very unsafe on the weekends. As a resident in that area, I have come to avoid that street on weekends because of this issue
1/18/2024 10:08 AM
152 I am a Canadian who spends my winters here. We have been coming to El Centro for six months a year for the past six years and plan to continue for many more. Love this area.

Imperial Valley is reasonably affordable, El Centro has everything that we need and the weather is great! I hope to continue to see the growth and improvements over the coming years.
1/18/2024 10:04 AM
153 I think city needs more nicer plants and more trees. 1/18/2024 9:33 AM 154 You need to appropriate funds to give this city a true revamp and invest in landscaping like Yuma and Indio. No reason why we should have this city look like garbage. 1/18/2024 8:48 AM
155 No 1/18/2024 8:45 AM
156 The entire city is way behind the rest of the county with appropriate street lighting. This is just not for Imperial Ave but every residential street also. I’ve worked as a Paramedic in this area for going on 10 years and what I’ve seen more than even major city’s previously worked is vehicle Vs pedestrians accidents. A majority is due to poor or lack there of lighting, retro fitting all street light and adding more that are LED powered should be your major concern. Keeping citizens safe with most likely the cheapest and quickest solution vs a full overhaul to roads, 1/18/2024 8:38 AM
Imperial Avenue Complete Streets Plan: Community Survey 34 / 61
adding bike lanes, or attempting to reduce speed signs that usually don’t get obeyed in the first place.
157 Improve sidewalk quality for those who ride scooters or use a wheel chair. 1/18/2024 8:23 AM 158 The medians between the lanes on imperial should be beautified. Trees. Trees. It would also help with heat reduction since it would provide some shade to the asphalt road. Lowering the “urban heat trap”
1/18/2024 8:19 AM
159 Seguridad por la noche en centros comerciales(valley plaza) 1/17/2024 4:43 PM 160 more crosswalks along imperial ave. & 8th st. for the kids. I cannot stress this enough 1/17/2024 1:41 PM 161 I want to ride my bike more often but i'm scared to. People honk at you, don't pay attention, they drive in bike lanes.

It is dangerous to pedestrians.
1/12/2024 2:18 PM
167 Todos los parques deberían de contar con baños públicos y un alumbramiento más edecuado una vez que se mete el sol, y diariamente recoger la basura y por lo menos una vez a la semana lavar los juegos así como proveer mantenimiento
1/6/2024 1:23 PM
168 Yes, redirect diesel truck traffic away from heavily transit roads and highways and have they use the back roads to unload their cargo. That would mean restricting 10 wheel trucking from parts of Imperial Avenue which is now unfeasible.
12/8/2023 2:00 PM
169 Continuous information about the construction of Imperial Avenue project. 12/1/2023 4:24 PM 170 Dedicated bike lanes that are curb-protected up and down Imperial Avenue would be very attractive. Also, a bus route going up and down Imperial Avenue ONLY would be great. Several neighborhoods a within easy walking distance to Imperial Avenue that would be able to access the bus by walking towards Imperial Avenue. With car and insurance prices climbing to ridiculous levels, other modes of transportation will play a critical role for residents of El Centro. Imperial Avenue is the spine of El Centro and the Valley, so making it multi-modal is critical for our future.
12/1/2023 3:45 PM
171 Bus drivers should have patience and empathy for the elderly passengers. I’ve witnessed bus drivers being rude to disabled elderly passengers.
12/1/2023 5:41 AM
172 We definitely need bus services also in Athen and sidewslks 11/30/2023 10:09 PM 173 Intersection for Central UHSD should have a light up cross walk like the one in front of the DMV.
11/30/2023 11:55 AM
174 I run often along a portion of the route. In general it is a safe route during the day. My concern is the increase of homeless around schools. I have often encountered them in alleyways and behind the schools … hiding sleeping and sometimes observing students during PE. I’ve called schools to alert them. Overall, the city has done good work in the development of route and its businesses.

1 Its not immediately clear if the cycling lane is protected by a curb or by bollards/pedestrian lighting. Any physical barrier greatly improves safety of the cyclist and pedestrian. 9/19/2024 11:05 AM
2 There definitely needs to be more green space and trees to provide shade. Please ensure that the plan includes maintenance and watering for the long term so they survive and it doesn't turn into weeds and dead plants like in so many other areas in our town. 9/19/2024 10:11 AM
3 Love the independent bike lane! 9/18/2024 5:15 PM
4 There is adequate space for pedestrians and transit riders already. Not so for bicyclists. 9/18/2024 1:40 PM 5 I've never seen green striping before, I wouldn't know how to use it.

It seems like a peculiar place to put these kinds of improvements since it is mostly commercial and near the railroad tracks where there might not be much pedestrian traffic because there's not much housing close by. Of course, it would increase safety and comfort, but for how many people? My bigger question is if it is needed here or another neighborhood. 9/15/2024 3:04 PM
66 More shade and hydration spots. Wide sidewalks for pedestrians that have to walk during prime heat time.

9/14/2024 9:47 AM
76 Will there be enough water for the vegetation or going artificial . Most likely it will attract the homeless
9/14/2024 9:38 AM
77 The City of El Centro does not need protected bikeways, green conflict striping or more bike parking. Has a traffic survey been completed to determine the number of people that actually bicycle on Imperial Avenue? It would probably show that there isn't a large amount of the population that rides a bike in our City. Bike lanes and green conflict striping will only confuse motorists on an already busy highway that is intended to cars and not bikes. 9/14/2024 8:49 AM
78 This proposed plan does physically separate pedestrians from the busy traffic flow at this location where currently trucks and vehicles are within a foot of the sidewalk and people walking. There needs to be an emphasis on using native trees to the Sonoran desert that are adapted to the significanct heat waves we experience. Non native Colorado desert plants make no sense for beautification because they require significant water and maintenance and have the chance of dying from a heat wave and not providing shaded canopy or aesthetic value that it is supposed to do The separated barrier needs something physical to prevent any type of vehicle from mistakenly getting in the bike lane to protect riders. I've seen a lot of people biking on the sidewalk because it isn't safe to be on the street and that drivers don't share the road or yield to bikers. Whatever the bus shelter improvement is needs to have a large shelter and not just a sign or a bench that faces the West. Sun sets in the West but almost all of our bus stops West facing with no significant shading. Make them similar to Las Vegas or San Diego where the front facing has some shading/physical barrier and people in wheelchairs and families can be sheltered from the sun and able to sit. I think having benches that people barely can sit on is an unnecessary deterrent to homeless people which negatively affects all bus users. Bus stops should have lighting or a button to let the bus drive know someone is there ready to be picked up if they are blocked by traffic or by trees or by the bus shelter structure itself. I don't see the need for way finding signage since that is usually for tourist heavy cities and communities. Unless there is research that shows people in the valley don't know where services are or we have a large population of non local people using the bike system and bus systems for getting to those services. All signage must be in Spanish as well.

We have significant population of Spanish only
9/14/2024 7:44 AM
79 Consider English and Spanish signanage by placing each one on every other section to improve communication for those who aren't bilingual. Include voice modules to assist in crosswalks.
9/13/2024 10:20 PM
80 I'd suggest more public transportation to move pedestrians and bicycles as vehicle traffic is increasing and proposed bike and pedestrian paths will only male vehicle traffic congestion worse. Furthermore with summer heat, poor people with medical problems need HVAC assistance that.can be provided by proper public transportation. 9/13/2024 5:01 PM

86 We need to provide more shade structures whether it be trees or shade structures and sitting areas for our older community members that walk or take the bus. We need more bus stops closer for our community. Shade structures are none existing or too far apart. 9/12/2024 5:33 PM
87 The proposed plan looks really good! 9/12/2024 5:19 PM 88 Where would traffic lights be utilized? Would this proposal include lights at high traffic intersections or dispersed by distance?

89 I love this actually. I intended to go to the community meeting about these plans but ended up having to take my son to the hospital. As someone who travels with a toddler on a bicycle, I really appreciate these proposed improvements to the bike path. 9/12/2024 12:05 PM
90 Are separated Clas IV bikeways protected with some kind of barrier from cars? This will improve safety and encourage people to bike more. Also, hopefully able to ride ebikes on them.

92 Definitely needs more accessibility for buses to transport the elderly and handicapped., 9/12/2024 8:29 AM 93 Greenery will make our town look much more nice . Pedestrian and bicycle lanes safer .. 9/12/2024 1:34 AM 94 I don't think the green stripes are necessary but looks good to me 9/11/2024 11:50 PM 95 How is the “Enhanced Bus Shelter” going to work? At the exhibit bus stop, the bus can pull into the shoulder to pick people up without intervening with the flow of traffic. With the proposed bus shelter, where is the bus going to pul over into? Would it be blocking the easterly most traffic lane? If a bus bay is being proposed, would it block the bike lane and force bicycle riders onto the sidewalk or traffic lanes?
9/11/2024 8:45 PM
96 Ample lighting taken into account for cyclists and pedestrians 9/11/2024 5:28 PM 97 I hope everything gets done! I moved from San Diego to El Centro. I think this city is a diamond hidden.
9/11/2024 5:23 PM
98 Fix main street 9/11/2024 4:39 PM
99 My biggest concern with these enhancements is that they are done so there is not parking and access taken away from businesses. In addiction that there is not additional costs to businesses. In addition I would like to make sure that the amount of space and lanes are not reduced for traffic, it is congested enough as it is. In addition, the area indicated certainly could use some improvement, however there are other areas that have existing restaurants and business that perhaps should be enhanced first. Of course I have no idea from this survey, what your kind of budgeting or state requirements or funding you have available. Thank you

103 That area is not safe for families to bike, walk, or get off of buses day or night. 9/4/2024 3:36 PM 104 My only question is what brought the team to decide on making these improvements going north? I understand that area is wider, but there is a community of students that bike to school and any improvement to the south near the high school would make it much safer for them. 9/4/2024 10:16 AM
105 Looks like more visibility to drivers to drive safely between lane away from pedestrians traveling more vulnerably.

1 I think this looks great as long as the plan implements the green space and trees. Please ensure that the plan includes maintenance and watering for the long term so they survive and it doesn't turn into weeds and dead plants like in so many other areas in our town. 9/19/2024 10:11 AM
2 With library important to have changes for walkers. 9/18/2024 1:41 PM 3 Urban gardening would be a great addition here. There needs to be some consideration for homeless people who tend to gather in these public spaces, so they do not cause disruption or harm the public. Public services ie. mental heath/drug rehabilitation/temporary shelter should target them intentionally instead of putting the onus on civilians calling the police to remove them.

It will be confusing for motorists and unsafe for cyclists. We have experienced this in other cities, and it only causes accidents and injuries. 9/14/2024 8:49 AM
68 Same as segment A response. However this one had north bound bike lane with no physical separation of traffic. Unsafe for riders and people needing to use it. width of the lane wouldn't be enough To accommodate multiple users at one time without them having to get off the lane onto the sidewalk. I get using the existing side road near the library however for riders the least amount of diversion of the main path is most convenient. Unless you can make the transition extremely clear and user friendly without family or kids being confused as to where the separated lane continues. Concerned about shade at bus shelter. All bus shelters need to have the schedule posted with lighting and identifying marks for which bus stop this is. 9/14/2024 7:44 AM

53 I think this is also a good plan. 9/16/2024 5:30 PM
54 Is there even space to build a sidewalk? 9/15/2024 10:04 PM 55 Needs better divider 9/15/2024 4:56 PM
56 Needs more shading and plants tend to die fast out here. Safety lighting for walking pedestrians and bicyclists should be a main point of concern 9/15/2024 9:26 AM
57 Again not sure, I don't travel through here 9/15/2024 8:23 AM 58 Lots of Trees 9/14/2024 9:51 PM
59 Thanks 9/14/2024 2:27 PM
60 Seems too close to traffic 9/14/2024 12:07 PM
61 Will there be enough water for the vegetation 9/14/2024 9:38 AM 62 We have the same comments as the other recommendations on segments of Imperial Avenue:
no bike lanes. Please do a traffic survey to determine that very few cyclists use Imperial Avenue, especially in these busy sections.
9/14/2024 8:49 AM
63 I'd suggest more public transportation to move pedestrians and bicycles as vehicle traffic is increasing and proposed bike and pedestrian paths will only male vehicle traffic congestion worse. Furthermore with summer heat, poor people with medical problems need HVAC assistance that.can be provided by proper public transportation. 9/13/2024 5:01 PM
64 Nobody really crosses thru there. Plus intersection light are near by 9/13/2024 12:37 PM 65 This is a good idea for those that will bike and walk but there needs to be more crossing through imperial avenue. Pedestrian bridges? It's a long street and you'd have to walk to each corner at a streetlight.
9/12/2024 9:08 PM
66 Need more trees and grass through our walkways 9/12/2024 8:20 PM 67 Put treet down the middle 9/12/2024 6:52 PM
68 Shade, shade, shade and places to sit for our elder population. Bus stops! 9/12/2024 5:33 PM 69 Pedestrian traffic sharing lanes with bicycle traffic is slightly dangerous as many people on bicycles fail to allow pedestrians space to walk in the city. 9/12/2024 2:26 PM
70 I think there should be sidewalks on each side of imperial avenue 9/12/2024 12:05 PM 71 Hopefully able to ride ebikes on bike path. 9/12/2024 10:49 AM 72 I think unless the green strips are on the frontage road for bike lanes people will continue to ride bikes on Imperial Ave. thus creating a hazard.

73 I think the trees should be placed where actual pedestrian are walking and not by the road. It looks nicer but maybe not as convenient location. A wider sidewalk in this heavy traffic area could be dangerous.

77 Yes 9/11/2024 3:43 PM
78 I think a walking bridge is needed to cross safely to the new clinic.. 9/5/2024 12:14 AM 79 Again hoping homeless don't trash the areas. Look at old Sonic what they have done. 9/4/2024 8:02 PM 80 Such an improvements! I walk in the area, and I would appreciate all of them! 9/4/2024 3:55 PM 81 This area needs to be updated big time since target and a lot of apartments are near and would be great for families and people to bike ride and walk. 9/4/2024 3:36 PM
82 Give biker riders and walking people plenty of space without having to worry about on coming vehicles. Signage post woul also be good for the people 9/4/2024 3:27 PM

56 Not sure we need more signals. There is a rush hour at lunch and 5 pm with many cars and don’t want to slow us down.
9/17/2024 5:40 PM
57 Motorized vehicles traveling northbound in Imperial Avenue tend to turn left towards Villa Avenue and turn right on Frontage Road to skip the traffic signal at the intersection of Imperial Avenue and Pico Avenue. It will be difficult for these users to view no motorized users crossing Villa Avenue. Implementing a new signal will solve this potential issue. 9/17/2024 3:29 PM
58 Makes sense with library there, this is more of a school zone. Would a stoplight be better? 9/17/2024 2:17 PM 59 Need a sign and the button so when someone click the button it can let the cars know that the person is going to walk.

62 Sometimes the time that you have to wait being a pedestrian is excessive. 9/16/2024 5:30 PM 63 Don’t put a stop light here. 9/16/2024 9:09 AM
64 I think putting a signal light, would create a lot more car traffic. There is not many pedestrian walking across so, perhaps a walking notification light might be better. 9/15/2024 10:04 PM
65 There is nowhere for pedestrians or bikes. Might congest traffic. 9/15/2024 4:56 PM 66 Más señales de trancito 9/15/2024 3:29 PM

67 Too close to light at Pico road - not good for vehicle traffic. 9/15/2024 12:24 PM 68 I am opposed to the additional traffic signals as it effects the smooth flow automobile flow.

This section of Highway 86 is used by heavy trucks and they accelerate from stop very slowly thus hindering the flow of traffic even more.
9/15/2024 7:39 AM
69 Might cause traffic delays. Make sure there are sensors on the streets 9/14/2024 9:51 PM 70 I really think there is a need for a street light at this location. 9/14/2024 7:28 PM 71 I don’t think it’s needed. There is a traffic light right ahead. I drive This venue a lot and I haven’t seen any pedestrians or bikes.
9/14/2024 2:27 PM
72 Not sure you need ANOTHER light here. Would bind up traffic worse than it is 9/14/2024 12:20 PM 73 The whole city needs nice sidewalks 9/14/2024 11:35 AM 74 Not to many residents will be walking behind the detention center unless the city of el centro makes a pedestrian and bike lane from imperial ave to 8th street with enough lighting for families to go to public library so children can have a long stretch walk or bike ride by not going along imperial ave high traffic. Safety is a 1st priority. Coordinate with IID right of way and have a joint commitment for a low cost
9/14/2024 9:38 AM
75 We see that most cyclists do NOT observe traffic lights. They just go on through them. There is never any traffic enforcement for cyclists. The street lights will improve conditions for pedestrians going to the library, but the proposed new bus stop will also improve safety. 9/14/2024 8:49 AM
76 All bike classes should be the same. If needed take from the median and/or from the drainage.

Shoulder drainage can be covered if engineered properly to hold massive rain volume. It would not be a bad idea to add swales at certain junction to collect rain water to reduce flooding on these lower depression crossings but also as a barrier for pedestrians and bikers. The swales could add another visual cue for drivers to slow down or be mindful of bikers. I don't think having another traffic light is necessary since there are plenty of them throughout the avenue.

Why not a round about? That would slow traffic based on volume and user ability vs a timer or camera system trying to predict flow. It's a car centric city but with a round about then we can become more bike and pedestrian friendly. If people get to their job a little later then that's okay. The roundabout serves as a way for bikers and pedestrians to cross this large area safely and makes traffic slow down tremendously. We have the space to work with it unless caltrans doesn't allow that. it's a local street more than a highway anymore. 9/14/2024 7:44 AM
77 Libraries invite children and elderly, highly agree with this addition 9/13/2024 10:20 PM 78 There are too many lights on imperial avenue . They are not timed and it takes too long to get across town . Another light will not help .
9/13/2024 6:45 PM
79 I'd suggest more public transportation to move pedestrians and bicycles as vehicle traffic is increasing and proposed bike and pedestrian paths will only male vehicle traffic congestion worse. Furthermore with summer heat, poor people with medical problems need HVAC assistance that.can be provided by proper public transportation. 9/13/2024 5:01 PM
80 This picture is a bit confusing to understand. It would be helpful to put actual traffic lights where they are being proposed rather than one big one in the center. 9/13/2024 4:56 PM
81 need more space 9/13/2024 1:39 PM
82 Everything is good,may retouch the painting 9/13/2024 12:37 PM 83 More ways to slow people down, no more speeding with more intersections with signal lights 9/13/2024 7:13 AM 84 Main Street/Downtown is where you need to start 9/13/2024 6:03 AM 85 Good idea to add a streetlight there to make the library more accessible. 9/12/2024 9:08 PM 86 No . This T street has not enough traffic for another signal light. It would only back up traffic from Imperial ave south heading north
9/12/2024 6:52 PM
87 Trees! Shade Structures, bus stop! Sitting areas under shade Structures close enough to access
9/12/2024 5:33 PM
88 Bicyclists fail to follow traffic lights throughout the city. They cross the streets when they want and cross against the traffic lights.

89 This may help walkers but it will create traffic back up. There are already 2 lights in that area. 9/12/2024 10:10 AM 90 I don't think that area needs a traffic light. 9/12/2024 9:30 AM 91 We do not need any more traffic lights in this area. 9/12/2024 8:58 AM 92 People are driving really fast and in a rush. This would aid in these cars slowing down and stopping
9/11/2024 9:19 PM
93 Not much foot traffic in that area. Also the signal light is extremely close to the signal lights near Jersey Mike's and the signal like on the opposite side, near El Pollo Loco 9/11/2024 8:59 PM
94 I think a signal light is a step in the right direction but it would only be successful with more pathways for pedestrians maybe something like the school signals in front of the border patrol building on aten
9/11/2024 8:53 PM
95 I don’t see the need for a light at this location . 9/11/2024 8:45 PM 96 The traffic lights would be too close between Scott & Villa existing lights 9/11/2024 8:36 PM 97 Fix Main Street/downtown 9/11/2024 4:39 PM

The flow of traffic here keeps all others areas from being too congested. 9/4/2024 10:16 AM
104 Need less fast travel in this area, this would circumvent this alot of people use library as a cooling zone and need to cross street for bus etc

67 No need for a street light at this location. 9/14/2024 7:28 PM 68 Again I drive here a lot and I haven’t seen any pedestrians. 9/14/2024 2:27 PM 69 For this area, I would suggest a crossing sign, similar to the one in front of the DMV. 9/14/2024 2:20 PM 70 Greenery only 9/14/2024 12:20 PM
71 I don’t see to many residents walking along that path 9/14/2024 9:38 AM 72 Same as above. Eat into the shoulders and low ditches and medians for room for bike lanes and bus lanes. We should have bus stops on the right side of the road with easy crossing for pedestrians getting in and off with appropriate shading and physical barriers. 9/14/2024 7:44 AM
73 No more stoplights on imperial avenue 9/13/2024 6:45 PM 74 I'd suggest more public transportation to move pedestrians and bicycles as vehicle traffic is increasing and proposed bike and pedestrian paths will only male vehicle traffic congestion worse. Furthermore with summer heat, poor people with medical problems need HVAC assistance that.can be provided by proper public transportation. 9/13/2024 5:01 PM
75 need stop 9/13/2024 1:39 PM
76 I always see people crossing 9/13/2024 12:37 PM
77 That area is tricky bit small & there’s already a signal light. Would be to close 9/13/2024 7:13 AM 78 Main Street/Downtown is where you need to start 9/13/2024 6:03 AM Imperial Avenue Complete Streets Plan
22 / 62
79 The proposed streetlight will add a crosswalk that is definitely needed for all the people that live around the area and are low income (primarily pedestrians) 9/12/2024 9:08 PM
80 No need for a signal light in this area 9/12/2024 6:52 PM 81 Bus stop needed for easy access to medical buildings. Lots of shade structures for people to be able to walk to Cardenas. Sitting areas under shade Structures big enough for people to wait for the bus.
9/12/2024 5:33 PM
82 Streetlight should be put. 9/12/2024 2:57 PM
83 I think a light at the intersection would make traffic times and traffic lines significantly longer 9/12/2024 12:05 PM 84 Please make the traffic signals more coordinated down Imperial Ave.nThey are out of sync and it backs traffic up. Sometimes the left turn light to Ocotillo when you come off I 8 to Imperial Ave will cycle through the other lights before it turns green. As happens with other lights in town.
9/12/2024 10:54 AM
85 There is already a light at Pico. To many lights create traffic problems. 9/12/2024 10:10 AM 86 I don't think that area needs a traffic light. 9/12/2024 9:30 AM 87 I do not think we need a traffic light here. 9/12/2024 8:58 AM 88 I feel this would be too many stop lights and cause more traffic. 9/12/2024 6:05 AM 89 I think a light would be too close to the next stoplight on Pico & Imperial Ave. Traffic would be crazy because of this
9/11/2024 8:59 PM
90 There is a light already close by (Pico Ave) for walking and biking. 9/11/2024 8:45 PM 91 Too close to existing traffic lights, will slow flow of traffic 9/11/2024 8:36 PM 92 Fix Main Street/downtown 9/11/2024 4:39 PM
93 Needs improvement. 9/11/2024 3:43 PM
94 Would help tremendously and keep the traffic flowing 9/4/2024 7:51 PM 95 Not needed. Proposing too many lights for a small section of road that doesn't flow well as it is. I bet a well connected doctor wants more access to his facility with the light. It's not needed.
9/4/2024 3:11 PM
96 I don't feel like there is that much foot traffic that would need to cross in this area particularly. 9/4/2024 10:04 AM 97 Unneeded 9/4/2024 10:02 AM

# WHAT COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT THIS SUGGESTION? DATE 1 All intersections must have cycling/bike sensors on the ground and/or a cycling specific crossing button/light that turns green a couple seconds before the car signals turn green to prevent collisions with vehicles making right-turns.

5 That's a lot of intersections with a light, not sure what that would do to traffic but it would help to have a left turn lane here and would increase safety for all the people who ride bikes or walk along Imperial Ave on the shoulder near the drain.

59 Pedestrian safety is present in this place. 9/16/2024 5:30 PM 60 In the street there will be already too many stop lights. It might cause to desynchronize like other streets with a lot of stop lights. Creating a build up of traffic which increases the risk for pedestrians and cyclists
9/16/2024 5:29 PM
61 No traffic light needed here. 9/16/2024 9:09 AM
62 Traffic signal is not needed. There isn't much pedestrian walking across from those corners since there is a traffic light half a block up.
9/15/2024 10:04 PM
63 Even when just trying to turn right, traffic can sometimes be heavy, and a signal light could be beneficial to those turning from El Dorado.

66 For all these suggestions, I would add that any signage to make motorists aware that cyclists might be present would be a good thing. The green paint I have seen other places makes a cyclist feel safer, but that might be a false feeling of security. I wonder if any data support any positive effect of green paint on the number of collisions with cyclists and motor vehicles. 9/15/2024 3:04 PM
67 Will cause vehicle congestion. Too close to light on Bradshaw. 9/15/2024 12:24 PM 68 Needs another stop sign placed in front of Rally's again. Never should have removed it. There's been many near miss accidents that I have witnessed here 9/15/2024 8:23 AM
69 Too many traffic signals in a row. 9/15/2024 7:39 AM 70 You need to consider drivers from all points from Brawley to El Centro,from Imperial to El Centro, working and living different cities and have to drive through Imperial Ave. 9/14/2024 9:51 PM

73 For this area, I would suggest a crossing sign, similar to the one in front of the DMV. 9/14/2024 2:20 PM 74 Not another light. What ate you thinking. Traffic flow will back up horribly. Fine now 9/14/2024 12:20 PM 75 This traffic light is not going to be an improvement. 9/14/2024 8:49 AM 76 Same as above. Need greater width of bikers and pedestrians. Think of a person in a mobile scooter or adult tricycle that needs to maneuver through these spaces plus other bikers and users. Roundabout preferred over another traffic light. Or at least a yellow crossing that we can push buttons to cross when needed and signage stating fines for not yielding and enforcement by cops
9/14/2024 7:44 AM
77 I don’t think people walk through here very often 9/14/2024 7:36 AM 78 Not recommended here 9/13/2024 10:20 PM

Lots of trees that provide shade. 9/12/2024 5:33 PM 85 Too many streetlights all together 9/12/2024 2:57 PM 86 This signal would cause an influx in traffic delays in the corridor. 9/12/2024 2:26 PM 87 Don't put too many signal lights in!

100 but I am not sure is good for the car traffic, it might make it might create traffic jams 9/6/2024 10:11 PM 101 I still think that a walking bridge is better. 9/5/2024 12:14 AM 102 They need to use pico if crossing I have never seen ppl walking across from there 9/4/2024 8:02 PM 103 I live on El Dorado and these would make it much safer!

The bike paths or walking paths, even sidewalks would be great to consider for all main streets not just Imperial Avenue. Ross Avenue between 4th and 8th Streets need sidewalks PLEASE!! Also better crosswalks between the street by Farmer Boys and Aldi’s - it’s very awkward crossing that street 9/16/2024 9:59 AM

Aldo for cameras for speeder’s 9/14/2024 8:52 PM 85 Sure like to see a medium divider with some greenery. 9/14/2024 7:28 PM 86 Urban green, covered bus shelters, trees will upgrade the look of Imperial Ave!! 9/14/2024 2:35 PM 87 What about the section infront of ECRMC. I do see a lot of pedestrians jaywalking and that is dangerous.
9/14/2024 2:27 PM
88 While it is important to protect the safety of people walking, I think it’s important to keep drivers in mind as well. Particularly with bicycle riders. Often times, they ride in the streets regardless of the amount of shoulder space there is as though they are able to ride at the same speed as a vehicle.

89 More trees, lights, signals, for bike riders and pedestrians.... 9/14/2024 1:57 PM 90 More trees and street/sidewalk maintenance 9/14/2024 12:20 PM 91 More green. Completed sidewalks even on empty lots 9/14/2024 11:35 AM 92 If this project will happen. Put trash can station along the stretch with a few restrooms 9/14/2024 9:38 AM 93 Imperial Avenue does not need bike lanes or pathways. 9/14/2024 8:49 AM 94 Keep in mind that vegetation should be native Sonoran desert/Colorado desert plants that can survive in this heat without much maintenance or water usage. If we expect to only have funding to put these in place with no significant investments after the fact to maintain then think long term. Many native plants have beautiful flowers and seasons that can beautify this road way. I prefer taking the shoulders, medians and drainages for pedestrian, bus and bikers.

Imperial avenue has significant businesses and services that a dedicated bus lane that services bikers and pedestrian should be out in place. Our bus system is extremely slow with 1-1.5 time between buses. If you have a dedicated bus lane up and down imperial avenue then more people who are reliant on it for transportation and work and devices and can get to their services more directly and quicker. There is space on imperial avenue in strategic locations. If need be, eat into the sidewalk and medians so we can make those lanes. We don't need 3,-4 lanes for traffic flow if we want to make the city pedestrian and biker friendly and focused. A lot of people can't afford cars so we should put them ahead first with drivers last. Cars can wait or get to their destination a little later.
9/14/2024 7:44 AM
95 Instead of two lanes add an additional lane for bikes only and walking 9/14/2024 7:36 AM 96 The use of LED white lighting at night rather than amber as it lights up a larger area and provides better security for those crossing at night or traveling. 9/13/2024 10:20 PM
97 Brighter street lights 9/13/2024 9:22 PM
98 Do not add more stoplights 9/13/2024 6:45 PM
99 Imperial Avenue needs to be 4 traffic lanes wider. 9/13/2024 5:01 PM 100 the more greenery or awning for shades are extremely important to encourage people to use these amenities and to keep people cool at bus stops. You can't just plant ground plants for greenery they should provide a purpose and offer shade to the streets. 9/13/2024 4:56 PM
101 More bicycle lanes 9/13/2024 2:05 PM
102 719 El Centro Avenue 9/13/2024 1:39 PM

116 Please keep our elder and disabled populations in mind. I hate seeing our elder in 100 plus degrees off heat with their groceries and no where to sit under a shaded structure. 9/12/2024 5:33 PM
117 No, the proposed plan looks good, really like it. 9/12/2024 5:19 PM 118 The plan for increased bicycle lanes is useful, but combining the pedestrian traffic with bike traffic is a bad idea!
9/12/2024 2:26 PM
119 I don't think that people should use the bike path for walking which is why of There's a bike path somewhere then a sidewalk should be too
9/12/2024 12:05 PM
120 Not for the signs. Obviously the heat is brutal here. More pavement and signal lights just exacerbate the heat. It would be a dream if the City actually planted trees (sisso or Cuban hibiscus love the heat) and made Imperial Ave environmentally pleasing to the eyes. And required big box merchants to clean up paper and garbage in their parking lots. 9/12/2024 10:54 AM
121 Use protective barries on bike paths and allow the use of ebikes on paths. 9/12/2024 10:49 AM 122 Clear Signage well in advance. Such as names of streets and "bike lanes ahead" . 9/12/2024 10:10 AM 123 no 9/12/2024 9:35 AM
124 Better markings on the street for night time drivers. The sun fades majority of the markings (lane dividers, arrows indicating lane is a turning lane etc.) and having clear, visible road marks would be so helpful on all roads. Maybe invest in reflector that will last longer than road paint? 9/12/2024 9:30 AM
125 Provide shade where pedestrian are actually walking currently not what areas might be considered a potential area of use. There is already a lot of traffic lights everywhere and I don't think more are needed to provide safety for pedestrians. There are already enough crosswalks at a reasonable distance.
9/12/2024 8:58 AM
126 When plans are being developed to always take into consideration accessibility to elderly and handicapped persons.
9/12/2024 8:29 AM
127 Traffic lights sensors be more accurate 9/12/2024 6:29 AM 128 Add more trees, flowers, greenery, teach and recycling 9/12/2024 6:05 AM 129 Imperial avenue south also would be nice to enhance. Not just Hwy 86.. imperial avenue south is the city.. that DMV building also needs a facelift
9/12/2024 1:34 AM
130 If there are too many signal lights the traffic will be worse unless flowing freely and having a certain amount of signals is fine and one would be better on villa and imperial 9/12/2024 12:33 AM
131 Adding more signals is probably a good idea but people will take La Brucherie or 8th Street to bypass them.
9/11/2024 11:50 PM
132 Imperial ave. has been used as a way of going from El Centro to Imperial, so any type of walking/biking path would benefit them both
9/11/2024 10:20 PM
133 What about safety around the Jr High and High school? 9/11/2024 10:18 PM 134 If possible a stoplights at road which exits airport. While driving south on Imperial Ave almost got in an accident because driver exiting airport was crossing over Imperial Ave. 9/11/2024 10:18 PM
135 It's not smart to place stop light after stop light every hundreds of feet apart. 9/11/2024 8:59 PM 136 I think more trees are a must and signal lights are a step in the right direction but we also need infrastructure to support the paths between the signal lights as well as better routes for public transport
9/11/2024 8:53 PM
137 Timeframe. Projects like this take a long time and commuters suffer the most. 9/11/2024 8:45 PM 138 It’s great to make it look good & better for foot & bike traffic but keep in mind flow of vehicle traffic as well.
9/11/2024 8:36 PM
139 Construction crews should work during the evenings when there is an excessive heat wave and to minimize traffic congestion and accidents.

It would be a shame if we became one of those communities that favors the biking community over businesses to appease our state officials. And if we are going to implement biking paths, please consider in the budget that they (and the bike lanes) monitored that they are complying with the laws.

9/4/2024 7:51 PM
149 We need new sidewalks and upgrade our landscape -street lamps - our city should look like Indio. Ca
9/4/2024 3:36 PM
150 Literally just a WELL LIT WELL MAINTAINED sidewalk all the way down imperial ave or anywhere in El Centro would help
9/4/2024 3:11 PM
151 Just my previous comment about the direction of travel. I understand there are budgetary limitations and there had to be a decision made about where it would benefit us economically, but somewhere in this discussion I was hoping that the student safety concerns were brought up. Thank you.
9/4/2024 10:16 AM
152 Hopefully will increase safety as people tend to speed alot in this area 9/4/2024 10:12 AM 153 NA 9/4/2024 10:04 AM

9 No creo necesario la colocacion de otro semaforo en ese lugar por que ya hay semaforos a una cuadra de esa interseccion y eso perjudicaria el flujo y mas si los semaforos no estan sincronizados ya seria demasiado, yo opino que estaria de mas 9/13/2024 5:40 AM
10 El espacio de un semáforo a otro es muy corto y se haría mucho congestamiento de tráfico 9/12/2024 12:02 PM 11 Estaría perfecto que sí considerarán ese semáforo entre Av.

14 Creo k no se necesita.. hay un semáforo metros antes y metros después otro.. podría mi opinión un punto de pase peatonal como el k esta Dvm No hay mucho cruce de personas ahi 9/11/2024 7:47 PM
15 Por su seguridad está muy bien . 9/4/2024 5:15 PM

8 De nuevo no lo creo necesario son espacios relativamente cortos para que existan tantos semaforos en ina avenida de gran flujo, lo que se necesita es cultura tanto del peaton, biciclista como de los automovilistas

9 No creo que se necesario 9/12/2024 7:36 PM
10 El espacio de un semáforo a otro es muy corto y se haría mucho congestamiento de tráfico 9/12/2024 12:02 PM 11 Ninguna. 9/12/2024 10:09 AM
12 Entiendo acercande los peatones y no hay por donde caminar incluso yo camino por el estacionamiwnto de las tiendas es una opción pero vuelvo a decir que esten sincronizados 9/11/2024 10:39 PM
13 Camaras de seguridad no hay aquí 9/11/2024 7:00 PM
14 Si aumenta la seguridad por qué habemos muchas personas que caminamos. 9/4/2024 5:15 PM 15 Igual que mi respuesta anterior si aumentaria pero seria mejor un semáforo peatonal 9/4/2024 10:06 AM

10 Ninguna. 9/12/2024 10:09 AM
11 Creo que serían demasiado semáforos 9/12/2024 7:34 AM 12 Serían demaciados 9/11/2024 10:39 PM
13 Para Mí es un cruce de bastante gente, a pie, carro y bicicletas por el centro comercial.. Pero NO creo bueno una semaforización ahí. Crearía mucho tráfico , como el k esta x la Imperial enfrente Starbucks...podría ser altos. O k los semáforos estén bien sincronizados.. 9/11/2024 7:47 PM
14 Ninguno 9/4/2024 5:15 PM
15 Mi postura seguiria siendo la misma un semaforo peatonal seria mejor 9/4/2024 10:06 AM

9 Que árboles y vegetación se va a poner y que agua va a usarse, reciclada o potable. 9/17/2024 9:10 PM 10 Pavimentar la calle del canal que taparon, ya que hay mucho vagabundo y nuestra seguridad es muy mala
9/17/2024 8:56 PM

12 Lacing sidewalk and I’ve had to walk far to get to places, very confusing. Not friendly to pedestrians.

9/13/2024 7:16 AM
24 Todo muy bien 9/13/2024 5:55 AM
25 Que si se necesita más áreas verdes en la calles y camellones y cruces más seguros para los ciclistas. Las paradas de autobuses necesitan más iluminación. También estaría bien que agregaran los horarios y rutas en cada parada, en muchas ciudades lo hacen, no entiendo por qué aquí no. Y que la policía esté retirando a los homless que usan las paradas de autobuses como refugio.
9/12/2024 4:36 PM
26 Considerar las mejoras para las personas que caminan y los de bicicleta porque si hay gente que en verdad lo necesita , no solo está transitado de carros sino de personas a pie y proteger 9/12/2024 3:27 PM
