Although bike lanes, sidewalks and more turning lanes are very much needed, let's fix what we currently have first.

Streets need to be a high priority in the budget. Some of the side streets (particularly University Ave.) are in terrible condition. Streets in some areas desperately need to be widened (Perkins Rd north of McElroy, Sangre Rd near the schools).

need more bus routes and more bus hours

There are many people in Stillwater with disabilities or who don't or can't drive and having reliable public transportation in all areas of the City would be a great help to them and probably reduce traffic as others could use that option for work or errands. We have a good start with the current bus system in conjunction with OSU, need to add more/expand routes and times and run the busses on weekends.

desperately in need of a turn lane on Perkins Road north

Other than a few turn lanes/turn signals, we dont need more roads until we repair and can maintain the ones we have. I've already repaired the suspension on my car twice and its only 2 years old just because of the roughness and potholes on our streets. That's $1400 I could have spent in our businesses or improving my home. I pay over $2000/year on property taxes and can't drive down the road without damaging my car. Sigh.

Please fix what you have before adding more lanes. Bike lanes and sidewalks that are tied together in a network would lessen the burden on the roads. Companies are looking for cities that take alternative transportation serious when they are looking to relocate or build new locations. An active city is a healthier city. We need to be looking to the future and making transportation decisions that will be good for our children and grandchildren. If we don't make these tough decisions now we will be left behind.

Sangre rd from 19th ave to the middle school needs to have a second southbound lane as the traffic during pickup is down past the light and people drive in the Middle of the road to pass the line

Perkins rd in front of taco Bueno needs to be fixed badly. I can't even take that route anywhere because it hurts my car.

Create bike trails that are FUNCTIONAL and go some place we need to go.

I'm sure the city engineer knows this, but expanding a road's lanes actually leads to a paradox where the amount of traffic goes up exponentially with the addition of new lanes due to the new demand to drive on those wider roads. Many of our roads do need to be expanded, but they're already near their limit before the paradox kicks in.

We need to fix what we've got before we even consider building/expanding anything, including bike lanes, pedestrian thoroughfares, paths such as Kameoka, Boomer Lake, etc. Get the city's roads, streets, and storm drainage up-to-date and forget trying to imitate some 'super-progressive' communities

We very much need turn lanes off side streets used a lot (Knoblock off 6th) and to major businesses off Perkins Road. I really feel sorry for the bikers. They are doing the "right" thing - but surely risk their lives when they do. The signal light at Airport Road and 177 doesn't let folks coming from the west turn north onto 177 in a reasonable time, even when no other traffic is present. Maybe the sensor is defective? We need a signal at Peaceable Acres Road to let folks from Legacy Village enter 177. The new design at 6th and Perkins Road is GREAT!!!! Whoever engineered it did a great job. The new solar-lighted stop signs at CC north and McElroy should be the norm at intersections like that. You need to test new traffic lights with color blind folks before buying them - my husband can't differentiate the lights at 6th and Sangre. We sure need to patch the streets around the McKnight Center before its Oct opening. Thanks for the better exit from town after football games.

We live north of town. There are 11 lights to get down town from the city limits and they are seldom linked. When the students are in town you have to give yourself 30-45 minutes to get downtown from the north city limits and this is on the main drag. Forget Perkins Road because I seldom use it because of the turning traffic, crazy people changing lanes on a dime with no signal and congestion. I seldom use Duck any longer just due to congestion and Texas drivers on their phones. I know Perkins Rd. is due an upgrade with left turn lanes. That is needed!!! Going east to west on 6th is not a problem as I usually use 12th or 9th. The congestion around the SMC and Westwood is a problem many times. Need to work with County to pave/upgrade some secondary roads to relieve pressure on main roads. Going north from Lakeview on Country Club is like being in a third world country and I know that is a Payne Co. issue. Lakeview needs to be four lanes from Western to Country Club.

turn arrows and or lanes in several places are needed

we need to repair streets and sidewalks, then add sidewalks before any additional bike lanes. bikes can share the road or use wide sidewalks.

The way the city fixes potholes creates bumps in the road. They need to smooth with a heavy roller the asphalt that they put in potholes. The street repair is ridiculous in some areas.

Our roads conditions - University, Duck, Hester, 3rd, 4th, 5th, Knoblock - are miserable. All need to be redone.

Too much overhead in Stillwater. Need far Less administration and staff. Allocate those funds to roads and sidewalks.

A stable core infrastructure is necessary. Bring people to Stillwater to drive on embarrassing streets and roads? Not a good selling point. The bumps in the roads may not be the first impression but they will be lasting impressions. Fix the base then build new. Deal with the present now and deal with the future in the future. Don't need four lane roads to the airport, I hope we do someday. (The airport needs more parking now.)

Biking in bike lanes in street is dangerous. Need to share wide sidewalks with pedestrians

Streets are in great need both in replace and repair I would walk more if sidewalks were replaced and widenedl

East side of town and around the university needs some attention, including residential areas around main thoroughfare fares, such as 3rd street.

We need to fix the roads and have bus service on the weekends.

I’m concerned about the small thinking vocal minority who appear unwilling to consider upgrading streets to accommodate the growth necessary for economic growth and job creation. Any city that is not growing is dying. Just look around the state and country at all the dying communities. Spending tons on little used bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways while minimizing central transportation needs is irresponsible.

There are definitely roads in town that are bumpy and crumbling and need attention.

Don’t put in any stupid things like traffic circles. The one we have was put in the most stupid location in the first place. There was no need for it!

Fix our streets! Pay for it out of current budget. Top priority. No bond issue. Use sales tax and not bond issue only if additional funds absolutely needed. Bond issue is paid for only by people with city property which is unfair. The people who work and play here should pay too!

1. Auto drivers need to be more aware of bicyclists and the rules of the road concerning bicycle safety. 2. Many auto drivers run yellow or red lights. This seems unsafe for everyone.

I think the City Commissioners deciding that Sangre Road didn't need to be widened was a mistake because the traffic is horrible in the morning. Thank you.

While I am a total fan of biking and walking around town I do think that we need more enforcement action AGAINST bikers and walkers who violate traffic ordinances.

Lack of transparency is an ongoing issue. Why have we not been told a proposed National Guard relocation is driving widening of Airport Road? Councilors continue to push their own agenda as though all they heard at the Town Hall was "bicycles good, cars bad." Would councilors consider a downtown Pavement Improvement District? I suspect most merchants would support one if there were prohibitions against spending on rotaries and statues. Spend on needs, not wants. Do not further burden the poor and disadvantaged by raising the sales tax, which hits necessities like food and clothing.

It needs to be looked at how many of those with disabilities are being provided with services. Because not everyone qualifies for help.

Our streets are in extreme need of repair all throughout our town. Filling the potholes is not working

Perkins and airport needs a signal light.

Country club south of 51 needs sidewalks and a bike lane

Covering up existing problems with asphalt is not a long term solution. We need to find true, long term solutions for our roads and put the money there. Bob's Road Crew did not do quality work in the past.

It seems to reason, wise use of our transportation dollars are be best utilized when applied to projects benefiting the broader community. First, a plan pointing to a community wide vision with initial focus on primary streets and a strategy for working through the list to neighborhood and common areas of need. Initial action for streets such as 9th, university, 3rd(ish), Hall of Fame, Duck, Husband, Washington, etc. leading to protected infrastructure for bike and walk. Showing value in a long-term plan by creating safe efficient roadways rather than moving the most cars as quickly as possible. I do not see the greatest wisdom in a focus on areas with difficult traffic patterns for short intervals of time or irregular activity. These are inconveniences we can live with and shouldn't consume early focus or budgetary preference.

The city needs to fix the traffic lights the timers on these are horrendous and are not updated to take in to account the different traffic flows when in OSU is not in session

Streets need to be fixed, sidewalks fixed so you don’t trip and fall. I’d like to see sidewalks along through town along main-boomer/Washington.

Stillwater shouldn’t be worried about bicycles. The only people people that bike in Stillwater are the college kids! What we really need is better drainage and to fix the rough, falling apart roads in town.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to use common sense, just look around and it slaps you in the face what is needed. Better roads and sidewalks.

We need good alternative transportation options; PROTECTED bike lanes and good sidewalks. I'm comfortably biking on the road and commute by bike, but many people are not comfortable with just sharrows, which offer no protection or safety; they are just a way for the city to say they are doing something for cyclists without really doing anything...

The multiuse paths are nice but they need to be connected, so that more people, particularly students and those who work at the university can use them to commute or for recreation. They could also more easily connect to Downtown. The people of Stillwater do use the recreation paths heavily, just like the parks, contrary to certain opinions. Paths and outdoor recreation are attractive additions and make people's daily lives better (and healthier) , which in turn makes them want to live in Stillwater, instead of fleeing. The roads do need improvement too. Why can't we make progress on both issues?

The roads are deteriorating rapidly due to the excessive rainfall. It might be that repairing crack and potholes will extend their life but it looks like many roads will need to be repaved sooner rather than later. Extra lanes and bike lanes for convenience should not be projects themselves but should be planned and executed as part of necessary repavement projects.

Our transportation infrastructure is embarrassing. Taxes need to be raised to do this.

Biking on the west of stillwater is hard because highway 51 has NO shoulder in places! Needs to be much safer for athletes. Range road south of 6th needs a shoulder or sidewalk. North of McElroy on Duck the sidewalk is TERRIBLE.

Need auto sensing equipment at stop lights. Hall-of-Fame needs better safety at cross walks for college students. Will be much cheaper for the city then paying a death benefit to a family!!!!

Improve crosswalk controls for vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians. Most crosswalk buttons seems to be dummy buttons. Pressing them only makes sure the white crosswalk light turns on but it doesn’t change the timing of the signal. Having less than 10 seconds to get across 5 lanes is far too short. “Cowboy shuffles” could be used at many intersections that would incentivize the pedestrians to avoid jaywalking when they need to make a diagonal crossing. I posit this would assist saving pedestrians lives. We need to invest in a smart system.

We need more sidewalks! It’s difficult to even take a sidewalk because it could abruptly end and a persons only option is to walk, run in the street.

There is a need to improve all types of transportation. Budget should be allocated to fix roads, expand bike infrastructure, and sidewalks for pedestrians.

We need a public transportation option for weekends and late nights. We need more sidewalks and lighting.

We need more sidewalks!

Perkins road desperately needs turning lanes/center lane, especially north of Hall of Fame.

Some of the streets need the lanes marked and the crosswalks.

The roads in the Westwood neighborhood have bee very bad for years. We need some roadwork, especially on Monticello Dr. close to campus. And since the rains, there are many potholes throughout the neighborhood.

Country club between 6th and 19th needs to be widened for a center left hand turn lane.

Fix the roads that we need to drive a car on. Most people can not ride a bike. The majority of the townspeople drive a vehicle. That is what the priority should be.

There are so many streets in town that need attention-repaving, potholes, etc. Let's get this done first.

Many of the intersections in the downtown and campus areas are in great need of repair. The intersection of 5th and Duncan has been in bad shape for years.

Country club to McMurtry road is Terrible! Several spots that need to be repaired

I'm happy to see attention given to walking and biking. I'm disappointed that city staff does not seem to appreciate the need for walking and biking to serve as legitimate transportation choices. I hear "where do you want to go" when I ride bikes. My answer is "wherever you go in a car or truck.

Our transportation dollars need to be dedicated to street quality not recreation. The percentage of citizens walking and bicycling as a mode of transportation is so low, spending dollars on those few diverts dollars from the more urgent transportation needs.

Before you start adding a bunch of new stuff like bike lanes or bigger sidewalks, you need to REPAIR what is in disrepair. Obviously the stormwater drainage is a critical need and so is the repair of pot holes. Some streets are almost undrivable!!

They all need addressed and cyclists on the streets do not follow rules. Ie stop signs, signaling etc. they are a nuisance

existing roads need to be adequately repaired before we even think about adding more. there need to be more bike trails. i think the disused rail line would be a great bike trail through town. however if the rail line should become a trail, there needs to be a way to preserve the existing rail infrastructure, because we don't know what the future will bring and we may need it again.

The roads need repainted, since the paint cannot be seen very well in many areas, especially when it’s raining.

It’s difficult to get around many parts of town without a car because bike-friendly paths end abruptly. Many roads are in terrible shape, but the focus cannot be entirely on cars. More bikes and scooters would relieve parking issues and reduce road wear & tear. Also, we do not need more parking downtown. Non-handicapped Oklahomans should be able to walk a block or two. Exercise is good.

The streets in the downtown and campus area are in the greatest need of repair

We need a truck by pass so semi trucks don’t have to go through middle of town on hwy 51

If we want to grow or even sustain as a community we need to increase the livability quotient of Stillwater. We need to add sidewalks and bike lanes to attract younger residents. Walkers cannot even walk the perimeter of osu on sidewalks because they don’t exist half the time

We need sidewalks and replaced or resurfaced streets to enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists, and it would also make biking safer.

Police need to patrol and ticket illegal parking and pull people over for speeding and other traffic violations

Stillwater wasn't designed for growth. We need wider roads with turning lanes

It is arbitrary to allocate a percentage to priorities with no indication of needed budget in relation to said priorities. This question should have been a priority ranking rather than an allocation.

I don't know if it's necessarily transportation-related or just infrastructure, but the stoplights need serious work. Some of them don't change for 10 minutes, and some of them fluctuate between being a double turn or a single turn lane (HoF and Perkins), but no one pays attention to it. I've never seen anyone ticketed for turning illegally there, even when police officers were right there. Same with people running red lights. I understand it was meant to change with traffic volume, but it has just created a dangerous intersection.

Drainage is much needed but can be addressed with the resurfacing. Don’t add a bike lane it’s not needed just make sidewalk wider if you absolutely want a bike lane. Drainage and resurfacing will help with potholes. Work with ODOT not against them to help make Stillwater better.

1. Bike lanes are not safe without physical dividers separating bikes from cars. Some roads have bike lanes that aren't wide enough. 2. Stillwater needs a public, prioritized plan for road improvements (like Duck). Some of these roads are so narrow it is just going to take work to fix them. Do the work already. :) 3.And always, traffic light programming isn't ideal in many spots. Getting better, though!

Would like to see Lakeview widened from Washington to Perkins. This would create almost a loop around town to avoid high traffic areas. 6th street and Perkins both need more turn lanes, or barriers to only allow turning at certain spots.

I believe people are using the buses- I like to see buses and trams . . . but our roads are in poor shape - I do see you are working on them, and it is appreciated but more needs to be done and I understand that may mean more taxes . . .

Need to pave all roads in Stillwater, including gravel roads within the city limits. Citizens all deserve a decent road to live on

Need more right turn lanes. Need more traffic lights with left green arrow. Need more traffic lights with yield left turn on green light.

We continue to fix the same roads in town. If we spent a little more money to do it correctly the first time we would be able to focus on other projects that need attention in this town.

Pay attention to lower income areas. The old part of Stillwater needs work!

We are unsure why funds were spent reconstructing the sidewalk on South Perkins Road. There was already one there and new sidewalks are needed in other parts of town.

Local streets are disgraceful especially in and around campus. With so many visitors to campus we need to make this a priority. University street carries so many visitors to our campus and it is totally ugly!

Many streets in need of maintenance could be addressed with milling equipment. Too many utility cuts in roadways causing them to fail early. Pothole patching methods are poor and don't last. Center for Local Government Technology at OSU taught proper methods long ago.

buss need to go to all the schools

The roads need to be repaired and improved to decrease traffic and closures due to flooding before anything else regarding roads should even be considered.

Putting a picture of a bike on a street with no bike lanes or shoulder does nothing and is ridiculous. Stillwater is so bike and walk unfriendly. Automobile drivers do not look out for either pedestrians or bicyclists. This is a suicidal town to bike in, and you need to be very traffic aware to safely walk.

Roads definitely need to be repaved, as well as sidewalks that are destroyed. There need to be more cameras or police officers stopping and ticketing bikers that are riding in car lanes, but not following road laws. I see bikers not stopping at stop signs or stop lights ALL THE TIME.

I’ve loved in Stillwater most of my life and I don’t remember our roads EVER being in such disrepair. Duck, 4th and University need desperate attention.

Please fix our roads! Downtown and Duck are by far the worst and are in desperate need of repair.

Would like to have better bike access, but several main streets are in rough shape. That needs to be the priority.

I feel Duck St should be a high priority, it needs to be resurface and widened

The streets are some of the worst I have ever experienced in a city Stillwater’s size. With as many people come to Stillwater we need to fix these streets.

The roads in Stillwater are horrible. I see the same roads being worked on year after year and all the other roads get worse and worse. The patch jobs need to stop because they are not being done well. If you want to widen the main streets that's great but there are a ton of roads that need to be redone.

Sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, etc. need to sync up with the bus stops.

Water pooling and floodingod a huge issue for this town. Stop 'fixing' sidewalks that are already there. Start fixing roads that need your attention.

We need to provide left turn lanes on all major roads, especially roads that service retail and businesses.

Streets and drainage need to be a priority, as well as more thru arteries to travel especially with flooding detours

People need info on both riding bicycles properly (using bike lanes) and driving near bicycles.

Many street are in extreme need of repair or replacement.

I understand the need to have decent surfaces to drive on but I am also concerned about providing for non-motorized traffic. In the past, much of the discussion has been about providing for people who bike or walk for recreation. I think as much or more attention needs to be paid to providing safe routes for people who bike or walk because they have no other option. That would include children getting to school and adults who need to get to work, shopping or services. More needs to be done to expand mass transit to poor areas on the south side of Stillwater. Residents of the Mission of Hope have to walk four blocks to the nearest bus stop and there is no bus service to Whispering Hills, a low-income apartment complex. There is also a drug testing facility that I assume provides court-ordered testing located on South Boomer that must be hard to access without a car. There are no sidewalks in that area and it is unsafe for pedestrians and bicycles. People have died.

Bicycles need to stay in the bike lane and not ride 3 and 4 wide taking up car lanes.

There a dozens of miles of roads that have been in desperate need of repairs for almost 10 years and they haven't been touched yet. Such as all downtown, along duck, down 4th and 5th near campus. Before walking a biking lanes are added we should be fixing the roads that we have first.

Existing roads are extremely rough in places and need to be repaired, resurfaced and widened. Adding bike lanes or bike routes would be beneficial to biker safety.

Perkins Rd north of McElroy has to be widened to add a center turn lane. It is past the point of wondering whether or not it needs done and we are a big enough city that encouraging people to ride bikes is not going to fix it. Expansion on north Perkins rd is going to continue and not addressing this now would be weak leadership.

It is of my opinion, and experience, that our roads need to be better taken care of. Burris Road is horrible. The main roads are great but the side roads seem to be where the problem is. More sidewalks would be great but mainly if they are wide like the ones at Boomer. I would prefer the rod to be repaved instead of filling pot holes Because the pot holes seem to re-occur no matter how often they are filled. So let’s try something different.
