After our initial Advocacy in Action at 52nd and NW Radial, we asked the community to nominate the intersections they felt were dangerous but fixable. We got a bunch of responses. Folks throughout Omaha have identified areas where people walking or riding bikes find themselves at greater vulnerability. Take a look at the nominations below and then vote on which intersection you think Mode Shift Omaha (MSO) should tackle next.
The Intersection: 13th & Spring Lake Dr./Gifford Dr.
Why Is It Dangerous? No sidewalk west of 13th connecting to Spring Lake Park
What Can Be Done? Sidewalk/trail connection, adequate crosswalk striping
Nominated by: Anonymous
Notes from MSO: This intersection is also served by Metro Route 13. The absence of a sidewalk on Spring Lake makes the transit less accessible to nearby residences.
