Crosswalk Safeway 28th street poorly lit
Oct 14th
The crosswalk in front of Safeway on 28th Street at Rite Aid Drugs is still poorly lit at night.
Dangerous Boulder crosswalk at night.
There are six Lanes but only a street light on either side of the crosswalk. The two yellow flashing lights are so bright that they blind you and you can’t tell if someone is in the crosswalk.
The city needs to put a light in the center Island to light up the crosswalk. This is why people get hit at least at night. You can’t see anyone there.
This is the worst crosswalk in the city and I have written about it to you over the past four years
Actually all the crosswalks in Boulder are poorly lit.
How to mitigate traffic in Boulder: simple plan
Oct 13th
1 Lower the speed limit in the city 20 miles an hour.
2. Eliminate all petroleum burning automobiles from the city center with the exception of commercial and emergency vehicles.
3 Allow golf carts
4. Create a barrier in the core City that does not allow Petro burning vehicles.
5.Create size limitations on any vehicles in the downtown area.
6. Build a massive off-road multi-path Lane use up and down Broadway And Canyon.
7. Annual parking permits all vehicles parked in the downtown area of 1000 to $1,500 a month
Boulder needs a night bus service
Oct 12th
Night Bus service England
For 40 years I have been writing to the city of Boulder about having a
Night bus service. This is a service that would run every hour to select bus stops all over the entire city from midnight to 5:00 am when the regular buses start. It would help students and others from being stranded in the middle of the night. It would only take one or two buses.
I used this service when I lived in Great Britain. It is called the Green Line Night bus service. It begins at 11:00 pm and stops at 5:30 am
A Boulder green line could use 2 buses and run all over the city in a 1 hour loop and comes every hour to each stop.
It would run all the way to Gunbarrel, north Boulder, Table Mesa, where ever a bus goes. It would skip stops and have specific Green line stops .
This is good so people do not get stranded in the middle of the night when the buses stop including weekends
