I have started a problem with some people (mostly in the morning): some going northwest on 2nd Avenue (with the goal of turning onto the alley/part of Apple Avenue to the south of the court), but instead of going another block to Apple and making a left or U-turning there at the main part of Apple - they decide to go through the opening in the 2nd Avenue median and head a short distance in the wrong direction in order to make it to the alley.

Not only is this likely an illegal maneuver, it will probably cause an accident some day. The opening in the median is ONLY for U-turns and people turning left to head into the Metro Plaza underground parking.

The slate sidewalk located on the western (1st Avenue) side of Woodside (Urban) Park is getting to be in really bad shape. Some parts of the sidewalk are broken or missing and some are out of alignment (causing a falling/tripping hazard).

The new Spring lanes (post-bike lane installation) are not the right size. Parking spots aren't large enough for 95% of modern vehicles (width-wise) and the bike lanes themselves may be slightly too big.

Most of the bike lane signs have been damaged and mowed down by non-bicycle vehicles.

Another problem: the Easter Seals vehicles, when parked on Spring in the new parking sports are too large (height and width-wise) to fit into the parking spots and make it difficult to make see what is coming southwest on Spring Street.

As someone who crosses Independence and First St virtually every weekday, going to work, I have noticed a lot of people traveling east on Independence Avenue who ignore the "No left turn" sign and attempt to turn left onto First Avenue. It looks like taxis/cabs are the worst offenders of this traffic violation. Of course, this rule at this intersection is only in effect during certain daytime hours.

There is a red lighted sign that tells people not to make a left turn, but it is difficult to read during the day when it is activated. Maybe a brighter/more clear sign could be used. It is difficult to tell if people can't read, just don't know or don't care. Are cabs under specific rules to ignore these signs?

There is a stop sign for vehicles on Fenwick Lane (at the intersection, it does not go through, so one must turn right or left). As a pedestrian who walks by here much of the time, many of the people driving on Fenwick heading onto 2nd don't stop whatsoever (or perform a "rolling stop"). It would be helpful if this sign was enforced - the rule is, one must ALWAYS stop at a stop sign, whether or not there is traffic or pedestrians.

At the intersection of Georgia Ave and Noyes Dr, there is an intersection allowing for pedestrian crossing of Georgia allow Noyes. However, (according to people on the neighborhood listserv, not from personal experience), many drivers don't stop for pedestrians here.

It would be nice if there was: 1. police observation of this and/or 2. signs up reminding drivers of the law (stop for pedestrians). There is are no stoplights at this intersection and it is unclear why no signs have been placed there as of yet. One recommendation is a HAWK beacon (http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Beat/2017/Possibility-of-Passage-Dims-for-State-Bill-Calling-for-Pedestrian-Traffic-Beacons/).

The alley (connecting 1st Ave and Georgia Ave) needs signs - particularly at the 1st Ave end of the road - telling people to stop or at least yield and reminding them to be aware of pedestrians. I've had too many near hits whenever I walk on the sidewalk as I pass the alley.

Some near accidents occuring, especially in the late fall/winter/early spring when the days are still dark. A lot of people crossing in the middle of the street (non-crosswalk, implied or otherwise), wearing dark clothing so they are difficult to see, and the people are clearly paying attention to their cell phones instead of their surroundings.

The police need to keep an eye on this area (by the court and the Metro Plaza ) during heavy traffic hours during this time of the year since some pedestrians are incapable of common sense.

The St. Andrews Way, Sligo Creek Parkway/Colesville Road intersection needs to be rethought and analyzed. Northbound on Colesville Road is near impossible to make a left turn onto Sligo/St Andrews before nine in the morning as the left arrow doesn't go into effect until nine a.m. As busy as that intersection is, any turn arrows/full cycles should be available 24 hours per day.
