They should put speed bumps down all of Fernside. I commute daily down Fernside. I drive the speed limit, and every single day, someone passes me. Either in the middle turn lane or on the right in the bike lane. The mornings and afternoons when the middle schoolers are riding their bikes makes me the most nervous.

I have commented on this exact issue several times. I must stop on Fernside before turning left into my driveway. In spite of providing adequate lead-time with my turn signal - cars have almost hit me on many occasions. As recently as last month - I had to quickly get out of the way and move to the center of Fernside and partly into the opposing traffic lane to avoid being hit. ON other occasions - drivers speed up and pass me in the bike lane. IN addition to needing a speed bump or stop sign - we also need a crosswalk. While it is legal to cross at a 3-way intersection - most cars do not stop when I need to cross. The nearest crosswalk is 1/2 mile in either direction - meaning I would have to walk about a mile (1/2 mile each way) to get to my car when it is parked across the street. In one of my complaints earlier this year - I was told that this would be looked at in June 2022 - so please look at it and keep us updated!
