Nantucket DPW MAIS

Good afternoon,

I live across from the Madaket Bike Path as you can see from my address below. There are several long stretches where the distance between the bike path and the road are very close. The white line boundary of the bike path and the white line boundary of the road are very faded and do not give confidence. This is a safety concern.

Today while walking west, I did not hear (walk solo with no headphones or music playing) an electric bike until it was just upon me. It startled such that I stepped slightly to the right and a car was driving (seems fast but perhaps the speed limit) toward at the same time. Thankfully, nothing bad happened.
Please consider painting the lines soon, if possible, as this might help a little bit. Separately, (not your responsibility) bicyclists should alert a walker whose back is to them that they are approaching, a bell would be nice or a little shout, “on your left” or something.. Thank you.

Bike lane needs icons painted in lane.

This "bike lane" coming out of the rotary onto Orange is frequently mistaken for a wide shoulder and I keep seeing near misses with bikers. In fairness it's not clear to drivers that it is a bike lane.
