General

Lighting/sidewalks

George Mason Drive & Lee Hwy

Sidewalk has been closed due to construction for weeks. Very dangerous for walkers - near bus stop

George Mason and Lee

should have a left turn signal so commuters stay on GM rather than cut through neighborhoods

Harrison & 22nd

needs a 4-way stop--people drive too fast

Harrison & Lee

Road needs repaving!

Harrison and 26th St

We need a stop gin on Harrison St. It is very difficult to turn left onto Harrison Street from 26th St

Also, hard to cross Harrison St in spite of crosswalk. Traffic is too fast on Harrison St.

Harrison and Lee Hwy

left lane turning is a big problem

A traffic light would be useful between Harrison and Lexington because it is hard to get onto Lee Hwy - from gas stations, homes/TH, stores, eating places & a school.

Lee Highway & Harrison

Add left turn only light for westbound traffic

Lee Highway between Harrison & Lexington

There should be another stop light between these 2 streets. It is almost impossible to cross from one side to another to catch a bus or go home from a bus

Lee Highway, George Mason Drive

Add right turn lanes on Lee Highway both eastbound and westbound

Pedestrian crossing needed

Lee Hwy/Harrison

Crosswalk improvements. This was in the process before 9/11. Funding then was cut.

Lee Hwy/Powhatan St (south side)

Close off access to Lee Hwy and make Powhatan St a court because cars drive too fast on Powhatan and pose a danger to small children. Then put a light at Quantico/Lee Hwy intersection

Lee- Illinois, Kensington, Lexington, Nottingham

Electronic speed signs would help. Also on Lee Highway, west after Lexington St

Lee-Harrison

DANGER. Pedestrian crossing needs improvement!

Lexington

Speed bumps help but people still zoom up and down street

Lexington & Lee Hwy

Need left turn arrow

Lexington at Lee Highway

Remove shrub obstructing view of Lee Highway traffic east

Lexington between 22nd and 23rd

Install 4 way stop. Cars on 22nd st. block view for cars trying to cross from Madison St.

Madison at 22nd street

Madison St (especially 1st block off Lee Hwy)

Speed humps, 4-way stop at 23rd and/or traffic circle, 4-way stop at 22nd St and/or traffic circle (this is a bus stop area for elementary school kids. It is VERY dangerous!)

N Harrison & Lee Hwy

Improve intersection for walkers

N Illinois

N Kensington/24th St

Cars speed up and down Kensington - 4-way stop needed

N. Harrison St and N. 26th St

Need a 4-way stop sign - dangerous for traffic. Many kids cross here after school. (I realize this is outside our area, but our kids walk here to W'burg and Yorktown.

N. Kentucky/Lee

Traffic monitor (electronic)

N. Madison and Lee Hwy

Difficult to see Street from West; most people block access to Madison from Lee Hwy

N. Nottingham (between Lee Hwy and N 23rd Rd.)

Needs a sidewalk

N. Sycamore & Lee Hwy

Left turn arrow lights

N22nd St between Quantico & Powhatan

Street narrows right before Quantico - should prohibit parking on one side of street

Speeding. Use speed bumps. People drive way too fast near children and those backing out of driveways.

Nottingham - Wash Blvd > Lee Hwy

Paint solid line(s) down center, esp if narrow 2-way street

  • Crosswalks (14 responses)

  • Improve traffic lights (include left turn signals/lanes) (14 responses)

  • Stop signs (14 responses)

  • Speeding (10 responses)

  • Other Enforcement (10 responses)

  • Improve Lighting (5 responses)

  • Numerous other responses


Question #12: The widths of neighborhood streets in the area vary considerably . . . Wider streets generally encourage faster vehicle speeds while narrower streets are considered safer but may be more difficult for maneuvering vehicles. . .


But adding humps

Faster vehicle speeds - this is a serious problem; small streets are not I66. Parents are afraid to walk to the school bus!!

Some are too narrow but most are okay.

or narrowing the streets with sidewalks, to keep speeding cars and pedestrians apart

If sidewalks are available and built at the time of narrowing.

This is ridiculous! Traffic is going way too fast in our neighborhood. This is a HUGE issue! The wide streets with no sidewalks lets cars speed!!!


Question 12 Summary: Insufficient responses to draw meaningful conclusions.

IV.15. If you travel the neighborhood conservation area on foot or by bike for any reason, please note below any areas of particular concern to you from that perspective:

Responses:


- Gang graffiti on public signs
- Damage from skate boarding, e.g., 6114 N 22 Rd (on cul-de-sac)

1. Lee Harrison intersection is very intimidating/dangerous
2. Lack of sidewalk to reach commercial areas: 5500/5600 24th Street

1. Lots of mosquitoes in greenway strip area.
2. Pigeons and droppings along Harrison St sidewalk in front of Harris Teeter store

23rd Street bet. Lexington & Nottingham dark

24th Street - cars use this road in lieu of Lee Hwy--especially those parents who drop parents at Rivendell.

26th St. N. just east of the intersection of 26th st. N. and Lexington. I live at 5727 26yh St. N. and we do not have sidewalks or speed bumps! I am especially alarmed because I have a young daughter.

Bike lanes are helpful -- trails are terrific

Biking is good; many improvements were made. Thank you!
- Ensure sidewalks exist, especially on street with high traffic like Nottingham (between 22nd & Lee Hwy)- Speed bumps don't work; people with SUVs find them fun!!

Cars approach stop light at Lee & Lexington much too fast

Cars do not yield to any peds in crosswalks, anywhere

Crossing Lee Highway by foot at any intersection is very dangerous. Speeding motorists are very aggressive.

Crossing Lee Hwy at all points. Crossing signals at Sycamore and Harrison are routinely violated by drivers.

Crossing over Lee Hwy towards Harris Teeter requires going around a lane divide into traffic when pushing a baby stroller. This is very hazardous and unacceptable!

Dog droppings

Generally this is a good walking area, except for crossing Lee Highway. Lexington and Lee has bad sight lines due to bad grading.

Harrison & N. 26th St - dangerous to cross. Lee-Harrison intersection also still dangerous to cross. In fact, none of the pedestrian crossings of Lee Hwy are easy except maybe George Mason.

I feel least safe when walking from the public sidewalk to the stores at the Lee-Harrison Center - there's no pedestrian access. Also, steps on Lee Hwy sidewalk between Lexington & Nottingham are a problem with a stroller

I find the neighborhood to be generally bike and foot friendly, except for the absence of sidewalks in some locations. (see p. 2 & 3)

I love this neighborhood. Need sidewalks on all streets though.

Illinois & 22nd is too narrow with no sidewalk; very dangerous for walking with two way traffic.

Insufficient traffic lights

Kentucky at 22nd St - see map - needs sidewalk. Very dangerous. (note: circled curved portion of 22nd St between Lexington & Kentucky Streets)

Lack of complete sidewalks

lack of sidewalks

lack of sidewalks

Lack of sidewalks everywhere!

Lack of sidewalks on 26th between Ohio and Harrison

Lack of sidewalks on every block. Also, too many people speed on Lee Hwy, making crossing (even @ crosswalks) hazardous.

Lack of sidewalks on some street blocks

Lack of sidewalks; insufficient street light; poorly pruned trees - elec lines

Lee Hwy and Blvd are heavily trafficked by pedestrians and bicycles enroute to Metro. An east-west bike path would be helpful (to include extending to the W&OD Trail). Sidewalks along Lee Hwy are not uniformly shoveled in winter making it difficult for pedestrians to walk

Madison St. No sidewalks - cars going to & from Walter Reed & out to Lee Hwy way too fast.
22nd St east of Lexington

More sidewalks needed I several areas

More bike lanes in general.

N Nottingham St between Lee Hwy & Washington Blvd
23rd St between N Nottingham & N Lexington St

Need bike lanes along major roads, such as Lee Hwy & wash Blvd. People continue to go through red lights. I especially notice this at the intersection of Wash Blvd & Ohio.




No areas of concern.

No concern - excellent bike paths!

Not enough sidewalks on N Illinois to get to CVS/Blockbuster

Pavement of the pedestrian thru-way between Powhatan and N. 22nd St would be very appreciated and lighting. The bluestone is hard to get over with a stroller and a wagon. Better lighting along Quantico and 23rd St (the street lights seem to go out a lot and are too dim)

Pedestrian crossing at Harrison St and N 26th St is very dangerous. Sidewalks start and then end on N 26th St, so the effect is to discourage pedestrian traffic all together.

Pedestrian safety at lee hwy and Harrison.

Pedestrians crossing Washington (from Ohio to John Marshall Dr (i.e. Northbound) - west side) cannot see "walk/don't walk" lighted sign - it's angled to the east so it is not visible clearly

Sidewalk break on 22nd Street at greenway - south side

Since Lexington got speed bumps our street has more traffic and at a faster pace. Harrison & 22nd needs a 4-way stop. People in general drive too fast--if speed bumps irritate people maybe more cops would slow people down!

some sidewalks too narrow specifically Lexington St. between 22nd st. and Lee hwy - could narrow rd. to slow traffic and expand sidewalk.

Speed of cars is #1 concern and lack of sidewalks. Our houses are close to the street & lack of sidewalks makes it very dangerous.

speeding cars on N. Illinois St.

The irregular sidewalks. Some street blocks have them and then they stop or pick up again on the other side of the street. Busy through streets like Nottingham should have them all the way from Lee Hwy to Washington Blvd. I don't know why all the new houses on Nottingham didn't have to put in sidewalks.

The lack of sidewalk on N Illinois St connecting N 22nd St to Lee Hwy - lacking two full blocks. This is a major route for pedestrians getting to Lee Hwy transportation and shopping and for students (young) and their siblings getting to the bus stop.

The walk down the hill at Nottingham (between 22nd Rd & 22nd St) is dangerous - no sidewalks, cars are often parked there, bushes interfere with walking on the grass.

Turn signals for cars going north & south on Geo. Mason Dr. as well as Harrison St. on Lee Hwy,

Walking on the Greenway bike path can be hazardous due to the high speed of bikes on the path.

We run to the W&OD trail/Four Mile Run trail as well as the Custis trail 3-5 times a week. Please continue to preserve and encourage safe access to these.
