I write this comment to serve as support for continued infrastructure improvement projects for active transportation in Lakewood. At least four crashes have occurred in Lakewood over the last few weeks where people on bikes or on foot, some being children, were injured by motorists. These crashes are preventable and unnecessary. These incidents serve as a reminder to our community members and leaders that this is an ongoing issue of public safety, and one that with even small measures, can be improved upon quickly. Please continue focusing on actionable solutions to increase the safety of all our road users, especially as Hike and Bike week rapidly approaches for our youngest residents. The infrastructure improvements at Hilliard and Madison are an example of a great place to start, but I would love to see more of these projects take place sooner rather than later to ensure that no one else needs to get hurt getting home, running an errand, or commuting to work or to school. Thank you.
I am opposed to the proposed Multi Modal path planned for Bunts Road. This project needs to be paused. It requires further study and real public outreach.
Over 1400 residents respectfully request that the City Council, and the Mayor George, utilize its authority to return the Bunts Road Rehabilitation Plan to formal review. Critical issues pertaining to roadway safety, public notification, traffic operations, and the preservation of neighborhood context were not adequately addressed in the previous planning process.
Furthermore, deficiencies in public notification and engagement limited meaningful participation, raising additional concerns about the transparency, equity, and completeness of the review process.
We urge a renewed review that fully considers community input, incorporates relevant safety an traffic data, and prioritizes both public safety and neighborhood integrity.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
