Dangerous by design intersections in the tmc
- 1. Dangerous by Design SIX Pathways for Cyclists and Pedestrians in the TMC area in need of redesign.
- 2. Six pathways for cyclists and pedestrians in the TMC area in need of redesign. 1 2 3 4 6 5
- 4. 1. MacGregor-Cambridge Intersection • Cambridge northbound sidewalks lead to “No Where”. • No safe access to Hermann Park or TMC for handicapped or Cambridge Street Bike Path cyclists due to curb drop-offs. • Need sidewalks and pedestrian crossing stripes.
- 5. 2. Holcombe Blvd. & Ringess Ave.
- 6. 2. Holcombe Blvd. & Ringess Ave. • A Holcombe pedestrian must cross SEVEN lanes at once without stopping. • Holcombe crossing should be moved to take advantage of the large 14‟ wide median and align with Braeswood Hike & Bike Trail entry. • The crossing would also be closer to the Metro Bus Stops.
- 7. 3. Median on north end of newly reconstructed Braeswood Bridge Currently, the raised median does not allow cyclists traveling north on Braeswood to connect with Braeswood Hike & Bike Trail entry as in this 2008 photo.
- 8. 4. Sidewalks on newly reconstructed Braeswood Bridge • Sidewalks are only 46” wide causing dangerous pedestrian passing next to 35 mph busses and autos. • Houston Building Code requires a 6‟ wide sidewalk on COH designated Transit Corridor streets and the associated designated „A‟ Streets.
- 10. 5. Braeswood/Wyndale Intersection • Hospital workers use “path of least resistance” by crossing diagonally across TWO streets. • Painted pedestrian striping is needed.
- 11. 6. Cambridge & Butler Intersection
- 12. 6. Cambridge & Butler Intersection Newly installed pedestrian gate to VA Hospital Pedestrian striping does not align with gate. Re-stripe and add concrete pedestrian zone to median.
- 13. SIX Poorly Designed Pathways for Cyclists and Pedestrians in the TMC area. • Prepared by Doug House, M.Ed., a healthcare professional • Has lived at 7132 Staffordshire for 20 years. • Current President of the Devonshire Place Neighborhood Association • Volunteer BikeHouston Board Member
