SE 34th & SE McGillivray Concerns

CONCERNS

  • How will decreasing lanes result in slower speeds? Have law enforcement options such as increased patrols or photo radar been considered?

  • How do these proposed changes address vehicles running stop signs & creating high risk events at intersections?

  • How do these changes address several intersections that have been identified in need of upgrades?

  • How do Emergency Vehicle navigate safely along these major East / West Arterials? Where do they park / stop when responding to emergencies on these streets? How do cars yield to these vehicles?

  • Were any options considered to add bike / pedestrian lanes without removing vehicle lanes?

  • SE 34th & SE McGillivray are both major East / West connectors in Vancouver. What will the impacts be to vehicle traffic?

  • Has the city considered future re-development such as ADU’s / Middle Housing and new development such as the Vancouver Innovation Campus in traffic counts that support these vehicle lane reductions?

  • Where will public utilities (mail, garbage), delivery (amazon, food, UPS) going to stop & park?

  • There are at least 2 high priority / school zone intersections along McGillivray. What does this proposed design do to address safety concerns?

  • How will this design accommodate on street parking? It appears that there will be a net loss of street parking spaces. This is at the same time when the state and the city are encouraging more middle housing & ADU’s. Has the city considered the loss of parking?

  • Will it be harder for vehicle to back out onto McGillivray with more traffic in one vehicle lane?

  • Where will school buses stop? Will they block traffic for the entire length of their route of pickups?
