SKATS 2018-2023 TIP Comment Map

Look at the hearts! Awwww...

You can "like" projects and also comment on them.

Some projects that might deserve the love:

• Key intersection and crosswalk safety enhancements near schools and two on the Winter-Maple bikeway
• A complete bikeway on Union Street from Commercial Street to 12th Street
• Enhanced crosswalks with flashing beacons on Wallace Road between Narcissus Court and Vick Avenue
• Buffered bike lanes on middle Commercial Street between Oxford Street and Winding Way (Commercial-Vista Corridor plan!)
• Right-sizing with lane adjustments for safety on North Broadway between Pine and the Parkway - aka a road diet.
• Sidewalks and bike lanes on Brown Road 
• Sidewalks and bike lanes on Verda Road between Dearborn and the Parkway.
• Sidewalks and bike lanes on Hayesville Road between Portland Road and Fuhrer (2 projects).
• Sidewalks and bike lanes on 45th between Silverton Road and Ward.
• Sidewalks and bike lanes on Hollywood Driver between Silverton Road and Greenfield.
• Partial funding for the South Salem Transit Station

You might see others. The list is pretty well vetted and baked at this point, and it would take a tremendous effort to dislodge or meaningfully alter any project, however.

Look for the historic sign
