Prior tothis installation nfthese bike <br /> |ones, we were all assessed for the necessary repairs or replacement nfour sidewalks. the city claimed that this <br /> was to create a safe passage for our residents and thereby removing all tripping hazards. we ponied up the <br /> money and we all have brand new sidewalks on Lake Avenue. But once you put that bike path in, there was olittle <br /> to no regard as tnwho was going to be using it. It is not bike poth, but rather multipurpose trail. Almost no one <br /> uses those sidewalks. Those nfuswho live here have seen everything from mini bikes, vvhee|choirs, <br /> skotebnonders, rn||erb|oders,joggers, vvo|kers. dogs and even toddlers. Clearly this has created overy dangerous <br /> situation down oseveryone feels itistheir right tnbeinthe street. But now your solution istnchange the speed <br /> limit to protect bike traffic. Your national weather averages for precipitation in this port nfOhio will show you that <br /> 45% of the year we are either experiencing rain sleet or snow. 8n, ogoin, for six months out of the year, you screw <br /> upcar traffic for the few who want tnbeout peddling around. | wonder ifany one ot City Hall decided tnjust <br /> check with our PID and EMS crews tnfind out whether what they claim with respect tnspeeding and accidents is <br /> even true. And does any of it involve pedestrians in the street. If you cannot control even the 25 mph speed limits <br /> on sidestreets, what makes you think that you're going to control the speed limit on Lake Avenue when it's <br /> changed. Try controlling itnow. Passing out tickets for speeding and other moving violations hits offenders in <br /> their wallets and its revenue for the city. There's literally no point in changing speed limits when you don't or can't <br /> enforce what you already have inplace. <br /> Lina Simms <br /> Location: <br /> Submitted At: 21Opm09-19-22 <br /> As o resident nfLake Avenue, | can attest to how fast drivers speed on Lake. Reducing the speed limit and <br /> having the occasional police officer enforcing it will help co|rn the traffic on this residential road. <br /> UmmZmimem <br /> Location: <br /> SubmittodAt: 119pmO9-19-22 <br /> Lake Avenue is a residential street, and as such it should be 25mph. However, despite the fact that "Lakewood <br /> prides itself on being o family-friendly, bike ob|e, vvo|kob|e city..." it routinely fails at this and Lake Avenue is no <br /> exception. Reducing the speed to 25 mph, without making any changes to the street design is complete folly. It is <br /> very well known that signs have o rninirno| affect on the speed of drivers, and that physical changes to the street <br /> that make the target speed limit "feel natural" is the only real effective way to reduce speeds. Based on previous <br /> design goals it is clear to me that the city departments understand this. It is well understood at the stote, noUnno|. <br /> and international level through numerous studies, and is widely available in many documents. <br /> In 2019, when the city was re-striping Lake Ave, they had the opportunity to create the safest option available to <br />
