Thank you for allowing me to review and discuss the Bikeways and Trails Plan update with you last night. As a quick summary, here are the main points that I jotted down from our discussion.
Main issues about bikeways and trails
1. Speeding
2. Poor roadway shoulders – both construction and maintenance
3. Drainage (ponding along the roadway)
4. Connectivity
5. Sidewalk gap at Lake Joyce
6. Getting to Lesner Bridge – narrow path between the guardrail and the roadway
7. The hole in front of McDonald’s at W. Great Neck Road
8. Cape Henry Trail ends at Jade Avenue, but kids want to keep going, so they end
up on Shore Drive. Don’t make them cross Shore Drive.
9. Keep the bikeway (shared-use path) on the south side of Shore Drive, where the
Cape Henry Trail is, as well as the trails that are west of Lesner Bridge.
10. Keep bikeways friendly for walkers.
