    I have serious concerns that the new cross walk is blind to drivers until to late to stop. Not an issue of getting used to it. You can't see what you can't see - the pedestrian in the cross walk! Please move it to safer location for all!

    I see City Hall's so called traffic engineering "experts" have been back at work tinkering with Cate & Bartlett. For reasons I hope need no explanation, the stop bar at this new stop controlled intersection should be placed before the crosswalk.

    Stop sign at 4-way stop on Cate St. is too far to the right of the sidewalk. Cars are blowing through it.
  • Bartlett St & Cate St Portsmouth, NH, 03801, USA - Portsmouth
    The intersection at Cate and Bartlett is already fairly dangerous as there is a lot going on however by having the traffic from cate st not stop would help reduce the confession amongst drivers and help with the safety of pedestrians. I use this intersects on multiple times a day as a driver and a pedestrian and there is so much confusion on who turn is it to go. The drivers coming on to Bartlett from Islington drive too fast it blocks the traffic flow from Cate and the other Bartlett direction. The traffic from islington and the traffic from cate st should have the right of way at all times and the only traffic that should stop should be those from Bartlett. This would help reduce confusion and be less of a safety risk for drivers and pedestrians.

    Good Afternoon. My name is Amy & I am the Assistant Manager of Wildcat Transit. Our buses go under that bridge 7 days a week & now with the new median it is making it harder for our vehicles to anticipate an oncoming vehicle coming under the bridge. One of our drivers suggested that maybe you could place a DOME MIRROR to see the oncoming traffic coming from Islington Street. We have seen many near misses not only with our buses. Thank you for your time.

    When will the City (ever) mow the lawn on either side of the Cate Street multi-use path and tend to the bushes and other plantings which are overgrown with weeds?

    This intersection is rediculously dangerous. I was walking with my wife and baby trying out the new path (which deadends directly into the road, then makes you cross the road not once, not twice, but three times to continue walking into town). When we finally got back to the Bartlett road so we could continue into town there is no ramp - so disabled people and those with strollers are now stuck ON A BLIND CORNER with no signal to (fast) oncoming traffic. We took a look at the original plans and the cross walk design was completely different and further up bartlett in a safer location. There was also a sidewalk proposed in front of the moped store which would mean you don't have to cross so many times into traffic. Please please please don't let this be the final traffic pattern here - with hundreds of new families moving into the West End Yards soon what on earth are they all supposed to do if they want to walk into town? Not to mention everyone else like us who live in the west end and made the mistake of trying out the new path.

    Intersection at Bartlett and Cate is a poor design The island should be moved to the sidewalk allowing for a single enterance to Bartlett st Right now there are too many distractions from merging vehicles from Cate st to pedestrians at two locations to watch out for Moving the island to the sidewalk gives pedestrians a single crossing not two

    The intersection of Jewel Ct and Islington st needs the "do not block" hatch markings on the road. When coming down islington street and stopped at the red light, it gets very backed up by a car trying to turn left into Jewel Court and drivers trying to leave Jewel Court can't get out either
  • 105 Bartlett St Portsmouth NH 03801, United States - Portsmouth
    For us living on lower Bartlett Street, a heads up when you change the traffic patterns by the intersection Cate Street and Bartlett Street would be appreciated. It’s like the Wild West out there today with cones in the middle of the street and double lines forcing cars into one lane, traffic is backed up all the way to Woodbury Ave making it impossible to get out from our driveway.

    Can this be a priority please? Scary when you're on a bike 😞

    This bridge is in dangerous and very ugly disrepair - it needs to be fixed - it has been bad for years but this seems like a new level of broken.
