Description

As my previous post was archived and cannot be addressed anymore (Issue ID: 2670763), I am creating a new issue.

Thank you Engineer Waite for your comments and for providing reasoning behind the disparity in access between apartment complexes on the street. It will probably surprise you that I do not live one of the affected complexes near SW 9th St. I am a motorist and a bicyclist who frequents the area. I personally have experienced trouble as people leaving the affected complexes, which house many people, have made U-turns in the median breaks provided for the other less-populated complexes. Trying to U-turn in the middle of Depot Ave forces some drivers to do a multi-point turn, or infringe on the bike lane. I don't see how doing U-turns at these breaks is safer given these other problems.
Given the proximity to SW 9th Street, was consideration given to another traffic solution? Perhaps another traffic circle or ellipsis, that incorportates the intersection as well as the driveways? This solution seems to work to slow down traffic, increase safety, and allow access in all directions at other points along Depot.
Again, I don't live in the affected communities but I do see the problem and have experienced drivers from those communities trying to utilize the limited median breaks to turn. The improvements to this street are really great, but this is a problem and should be addressed rather than archived. I hope that Engineer Waite and the other people of Public Works will take another look and find a solution for this remaining problem, just like they did for rest of Depot Ave!
