Imagine Greater Tucson 2010-11 Phase I Community Conversation and Survey Statements Related to A safe and extensive bicycle network for all populations

1	(Four drawings - bike, world, girl, heart) I like Tucson because Tucson is a great place to play. And because it is a beautiful place. And because there is ? bikes. And it is fun
2	3rd Street bike path
3	A community that values bicycle riding supports health, recreation, and cleaner transportation.
4	A mountain could be turned into an urban outdoor enthusiast paradise. Close the road at the base to stop the illegal activities that continue in the parking lots (do this even if you don't like the rest of the ideas...I'm sick of how dangerous that parking lot is). Create a trail system for different skilled riders. Create lighted mountain bike terrain park. Have street luge/longboard skateboarding on sections of the road. Do something awesome with the hole (maybe a BMX/Skateboard park or the velodrome). Heck put a chair lift from the base to the top...this would allow everyone to enjoy the views w/o allowing it to be trashed like it continues to be.
5	AS energy and water management increase in importance easy access will be important. I bicycle, did the 69 mile El Tour, plan on the 109 for next year, find the network of bike paths a critical plus
6	Ability to walk and bike easily. Ability to access parks, national parks, hiking and biking trails. Safe trails for us and our children etc
7	Able to avoid car commutes, reduce pollution, stress-free transportation
8	Able to ride my bike/walk to many destinations.
9	Able to swim, bike, and walk
10	Abundant hiking and biking trails
11	Access to various outdoor activities (hiking, biking, etc.) and spectator participation in various levels of athletics from public schools through the university programs
12	Add bicycle routes
13	Add bike lanes
14	Add more bike lanes - �Bike Friendly�
15	After 15 years, I still find the mountains awe-inspiring. Our natural surroundings are beautiful and should be protected. I love to hike and I love to bike.
16	After a few years of being in Tucson without, I finally had to buy a car to get around. As population expands, more cars will only mean more congestion/wider roads. Clean, safe, convenient mass transit would free up lanes of cars, and prevent air pollution. More dedicated bike streets would help, too.
17	All of our main streets should have bike or shared use lanes - separate from the auto travel lanes
18	All the amenities anyone needs to enjoy a full life, but not uncaring, cold city atmosphere. Friendly people, neighborly, not too much cement (like big cities), bicycle paths/routes, walk to shopping (Rincon Market).
19	Allow bike lanes only on roads that are engineered with them.
20	Alternative forms of transportation are on the minds of many planners these days, but few are as quick, practical, and healthy as bicycle commuting. Tucson already does more than most cities I've visited to promote bicycle awareness and accessibility. I want to see as much if not more effort in this area in the future.
21	Alternative transportation
22	Alternative transportation - more light rail, electric cars, platinum status as a cycling community. Lots of pedestrian space downtown, arts warehouse district full of artists, nurturing our successes in optics and other industries, being aggressive about bringing high paying jobs to town, supportive of arts and small businesses, green economies.
23	Although Tucson is a large city, the locally owned businesses, bicycle friendly streets, and University campus keep things central and give the entire city a good vibe
24	Amazing training opportunities in the winter for cycling and running.
25	An improving bicycle infrastructure and mild climate make it easy to get around and commute to work without a car. It makes my life much simpler.
26	Annoying at times to have a bike lane end and no real choice of how to continue the ride safely.
27	Another option is to add a circle highway around Tucson, like Washington DC has.
28	Any great community is pedestrian friendly. The extensive roadway growth particularly in the inner city needs to end. Automobiles should be last priority after transit, bikes and peds. If motorists don't like it then they can change modes or move to a car crazy city like Phoenix of Las Vegas.
29	As I said before bicycling is pretty good but it could be so much better. Tucson has the ability to be a cycling destination if we could be a little more progressive and innovative about it.
30	As a bike commuter, I would like to see more bike lanes and safer bike routes. Also, more place to lock up bikes at public buildings. A rail line would be jiffy.
31	As a landscape photographer, biker and climber, close, easy access to the desert and the mountains is a primary recreational and therapeutic asset.
32	As a professional geoscientist, there's work here. Additionally, and just to ramble, Tucson for me means: bicycling freedom meteorite studies the Gem & Mineral show best movie house on the planet (The Loft) great coffee great diners stars in the sky people that care to protect and conserve our environment
33	As a relative newcomer, I found it relatively easy to make meaningful connections in the community. I appreciate the level of involvement that is evident regading local community issues from planning for the future of water, to having adequate bike paths, to politics.
34	As a student, I found it really inconvenient not to have a car. I've tried to bike, or ride the bus, but both are inconvenient.
35	As an advocate of modes of transportation other than those using fossil fuels, i appreciate the city's willingness to provide decent routes for those who choose to ride a bicycle.
36	As stated, I left Minnesota and moved to a warmer climate in my late 20's. Now having retired from one of the Universities in San Diego, my small pension stretches further here. Although I still work a couple of part-time positions to supplement my income until I qualify for Social Security. Being semi-retired, having the opportunity to be outdoors, hike, walk and bike ride is wonderful. Having the Santa Cruz River near by and a nicely paved path along side it, is a real treat.
37	As we grow, it's going to take longer to get everywhere. Buses, bike lanes, carpools only do so much. No one wants a freeway--maybe major E/W roads could be one way with coordinated lights?
38	Automobiles are quite an abomination (yes I own one too). They pollute the atmosphere leading to global warming, pollute our lungs leading to cancer and respiratory disease, and cost millions to support the roadway infrastructure. Tucson is a sunbelt city and there should be hundreds of thousands of people bicycling, bussing, using light rail, and riding motor scooters around this town. I've seen this occurring in dozens of other cities around the world. There's little reason why Tucson can't lead the way here in the USA.
39	Barring the high temperature and blazing sun in the summer months, the availability of clean and safe bike paths and sidewalks allows me and my family to get out and exercise. These designated paths are well traveled, and so it feels safe to use them. Also, I often encounter the same people while I'm out and about, which allows me to get to know my neighbors.
40	Because I like to ride my bike for recreation, to work, for exercise and it lessens my impact on the environment and the weather is usually nice enough to ride a bike.
41	Because I ride several times each week
42	Because people who walk and ride bikes know that there is water all around for drinks
43	Because there is a higher percentage of pedestrians and cyclists near (UA) campus, the paths and lighting need improvement
44	Being able to bike places
45	Being able to cycle, do things outdoors=fulfilling life
46	Being able to safely get around the city it the most important thing to me. The primary consideration in transportation is the automobile, but that isn't sustainable. We need better ways to bike and walk to our destinations.
47	Being able to walk out of my house and go walking or mountain biking
48	Being on my bike has allowed me to feel the peace of Tucson at a different level. Bike Tucson, and you feel its pulse in a different way.
49	Besides university ave, there are few roads where cars are prohibited except local traffic. There are not enough bike lanes that connect roads to main destinations like supermarkets, parks, farmers markets, shops etc.
50	Better and better bike routes
51	Better bike and pedestrian infrastructure
52	Better bike lanes
53	Better bike lanes! (please)
54	Better bike paths and river you can use
55	Better bike paths that lead to points of interest or commerce around town. Existing bike paths don't have lights or are broken. Dark alley ways are not safe, especially for a young woman. Aviation bike path in particular.
56	Better bike paths throughout the city and surrounding area
57	Better bike paths.
58	Better bus system
59	Better land planning (roads, developments, bike lanes, etc.)
60	Better mass transit (even things like bus shelters with SHADE), better and more bike/walking paths...basically just amenities to encourage Tucsonans to get out of their cars, be greener and healthier! I'd like to be able to get out of MY car, but feel there are too many stumbling blocks!
61	Better pavement in the bike lanes
62	Better pedestrian/bicycling infrastructure
63	Better public transport and more bike paths around town
64	Better public transportation - put in the train! Parking for cycles/scooters downtown
65	Better regulations on cycling and traffic laws is important to me because I want my family to be safe when riding their bikes on the road.
66	Better signage to recreational areas and opportunities (biking/walking paths, etc.)
67	Better transit options (other than automobile)
68	Better transportation - buses, shuttle buses, bike lanes and driver training to include bicycle awareness

138	Bikeability/Walkability
139	Biker friendly
140	Biker friendly (relatively)
141	Bikes, walking, buses
142	Biking
143	Biking is an easy alternative available to everyone
144	Biking is difficult
145	Biking is scary
146	Biking is the most viable alternative mode of transporation. Gardens will reconnect our community to healthy food and each other.
147	Biking needs to be accessible to everyone- even to the little old ladies
148	Biking on the outskirts of the city is dangerous. There are no bike lanes
149	Bmx biking
150	Build bicycle boulevards, continue to retrofit sidewalks in the urban core, and provide a robust public transit system.
151	Build bike lanes away from car traffic and extend from east to west and north to south for biking to work, to UofA, for pleasure. It is dangerous to ride bikes in Tucson because the current bike lanes are too narrow, next to car traffic. And the bike lanes need to be maintained.
152	Build more boulevards
153	Build more sidewalks and bike paths
154	Can be camping, hiking, mountain biking in nature. It's for my personal well-being. I need this or I go nuts.
155	Can golf, bike, etc. all winter
156	Can they make it more friendly, like newer bus for more frequent and highly used routes, cleaner vehicle, fewer roads, more bike lanes, more pedestrian friendly areas. more family oriented night life.
157	Cars and bikes need to know how to treat each other
158	Cars seem to rule and it makes riding a bike very dangerous. Find ways to slow down cars and make biking a higher priority.
159	Cleaner roads for more bikes
160	Commitment to bicycling infrastructure and alternate transportation
161	Community interest in safe bike paths
162	Compare to places I have lived before Tucson has a lot more people who walk and bike places
163	Connect all the bike paths
164	Connection of Bike Lanes
165	Construction of Bike Boulevards
166	Continue the foot/bike trail all around Tucson
167	Continue to enhance bike transportation
168	Continue to improve bike mobility
169	Continuing to create good NS and EW corridors like 3rd street bike boulevards
170	Contiuned improment of bike lanes and walking paths
171	Create a system of walking paths and bike routes, separated from roads, that interconnect the entire region.
172	Create legislation to assure that nocturnal cyclists have lighting
173	Create miles of bike paths which many communities in the US have had for years
174	Create more off the main drag cycling lanes
175	Create more opportunities for functional and efficient mass transportation like lightrail, trains, subways, etc. Create safer opportunities to ride a bike. Put less emphasis on cars. But if cars are emphasized then build freeways in Tucson, so cars and gas can be used efficiently.
176	Cycling
177	Cycling Regulations
178	Cycling and hiking opportunities
179	Cycling around town
180	Cycling community
181	Cycling in Tucson is dangerous since the bike routes are unclear and often bike lanes disappear at busy intersections. Clear paths to connect throughout Tucson should be available to allow for commuters to have bicycles as a safe option for transportation.
182	Cycling is a healthy and viable alternative to auto transit which splinters communities, makes our cities dirty, loud and unlivable...and HOT!
183	Cycling to work should be encouraged more
184	Cycling, running, hiking paths
185	Cycling/outdoor trails and parks
186	Cyclists without nocturnal lights are a threat to themselves and to unsuspecting drivers
187	Cyclovia=more frequent
188	Denser central development will make it easier and more attractive for more people (including me) to walk, bike, or take public transportation to shopping, entertainment, and recreation.
189	Desert and mountain variety Year round outdoor activities - cycling, running, etc.
190	Desert trails (biking)
191	Does anyone go to the Santa Cruz River 'Park'? It is so desolate. I rarely see walkers or bikers there. When we get big rains in the summer, people come out in droves to the river beds that have significant water in them. San Antonio made the River Walk with a canal system. Indianapolis recently did, too. We can get some of those intelligent, energetic, creative people to come up with a way to do that here with reclaimed water...tourists, restaurants, recreation and other activities that make money and provide quality of life follow water.
192	Don't want to kill one by accident as they are always in the way!
193	Driving is a very important part of moving around Tucson, whether by bus, car, bike, or otherwise
194	Easy access to hiking/biking trails in desert
195	Easy access to so many trails and places to ride our bikes
196	Easy to get around on bike
197	Enjoy camping, and motorcycle riding. Like being 30- 60 mins away from great outdoor environments.
198	Enjoying being outside in our backyard and neighborhood in midtown (Broadway & Country Club area), reading, gardening, walking, bike riding; easy access to downtown and at the UA at various cultural events and institutions (TMA, UA museums, Centennial Hall, UA lectures, public libraries).
199	Environment - being able to do lots of things outside (mountains, hiking, biking)
200	Environment- natural wonderful settings for wellness (hiking, biking, rock climbing, trail system, regional/state parks)
201	Especially downtown, lets transform the rondstat bus terminal into an outdoor plaza and performance venue. submerge the stone speedway intersection and expand the park to 3 corners servicing students and downtown. encourage food carts and bike parking.
202	Even though we have escaped the strangulation of freeways, we are still car bound. We publically support car travel ('free' streets and parking) and do not support alternatives. If you go out to dinner at a nice restaurant and have a glass of wine and you drive home, you are at risk for DUI. And your only alternative is to take a taxi. Where is the bus system? Develop an effective rapid bus system with local feeder routes. Work with the other public transportation system, the school buses! If there was one effective public transportation system including the resouces currently spent on Suntran and the school busses, we would have a great alternative...and keep providing those bike lanes for those of us who what to stay fit while we get around instead of driving to the gym!
203	Extensive network of bicycle paths and trails.
204	Family parks, recreation, ? Trails, bike lanes tie us together and unique to Tucson. Goes into desert, mountains "big small town", friendliness
205	Find a profit center in our recycleing efforts
206	First off, we need a light rail system along the most obvious corridors (Oracle, Grant, Speedway, Broadway, 22nd, South 6th). We also need a good bus system, where buses make stops at least every quarter of an hour. Further, we need a good bike-path system where there are obvious corridors across town and where there are bike paths separated from automobile traffic.
207	Fix the lack of continuous bike and pedestrian lanes
208	For escape - hiking and biking
209	For example, as a 'Bicycle-firndldy community', short shrift is often given to cyclists. As a 'Solar-city USA', too little is being done to enable individuals to explore alternates.
210	For health reasons and touring
211	For long-term sustainability, we should be focusing on development close in to Tucson rather than increasing traffic by developing on the margins of the metropolitan area. Alternately, we need to find ways to serve the transportation needs of individuals living on the periphery that don't require personal automobiles.
212	Friendly streets with bike paths to get around town
213	From my house I can access the Rillito River Park and love to bike and run there. I can also walk or ride to many nearby parks with my child. I can easily get to beautiful hikes in the Catalinas and take day trips to amazing places in southern AZ. The way the mountains surround our region provides a protective and serene feeling that I have found no other place. Plus the lush desert is amazing. Oh, and the weather is good.
214	Generally good bikability
215	Get cyclists along the road to realize they are a bicycle and not master of the asphalt domain
216	Getting around, especially on mountain to mountain bikepaths across the valley are the things that attract the talent that tech companies will follow to Tucson
217	Given Tucson's climate, it is possible to ride you rbike most every day. I wish there were more off the street bike avenues/lanes/paths. This would really contribute to my quality of life. Biking is great you can meet many of your transportion needs in this climate and get good exercise and enjoymentat the same time. I ride my bike to work and to do many of my errands, but, the biggest obstacle to doing more is safety and and the availability of convenient, safe bike routes.
218	Given our ideal climate, we should be developing alternate forms of transportation. Walkways, bike trails, light rail, improved bus system
219	Given that Tucson is situated in one of the sunniest regions of the country, I find it inexcusable that we lack viable solar-powered transportation - or even better bike lanes to encourage people to drive less.
220	Given the weather, the geography, the popularity of biking, we should have DEDICATED bike roads (like the ones in Holland) criss-crossing the city. A truly progressive city should optimize its capabilities for non-emissions transport!
221	Good for health, good for not using gas, good for mental health, bike riders typically are more aware of everyhting
222	Good outdoor activities (cycling, hiking, etc.)
223	Great areas to ride
224	Great for biking and hiking.
225	Great for cycling
226	Great lifestyle, access to outdoors for hiking and biking
227	Great places to cycle, swimming available year round, paths available for running, etc.
228	Great spot for bike riding/training
229	Greatly improve bike lanes
230	Hate being exposed to so much pollution from cars when I am biking on main roads and increasing my breathing due to the workout. Add more bus routes downtown that are shorter but run more frequently
231	Having mountains all around us gives endless opportunity to hike and bike.
232	Having the ability to bicycle, walk and use public transit makes me healthier, happier, and saves me money. It is important the region focuses on alternative modes of transportation for the livability and quality of life it offers.
233	Having to communte THROUGH the city (driving, biking, walking or taking public transit) makes you more aware of the neighborhoods, retail areas, restaurants, etc. You feel more connected to the community
234	Hiking year around. Monday's at Maynards. Cycling. Walking to city sponsored activities and gardening.
235	Hiking, biking, camping
236	Hiking, biking, camping - there are so many places to spend time outdoors. And, the weather is very conductive to doing this.
237	Hiking, biking, entertaining and relaxing outdoors.
238	Hiking, camping, riding, exploring natural areas. Desert is wide open and beautiful. Healthy community of wild plants & animals.
239	Hiking/biking
240	I am a bicycle commuter and the bike lanes are unsafe
241	I am a cyclist and believe that cities can be livable without being overly dense, loud or dirty and that designing cities on a bike/pedestrian scale is the way to get there.
242	I am able to bike to things if I want.
243	I am able to ride my bike or walk throughout the year and don't have to drive much as a result
244	I am active and enjoy the outdoors. I like to run, bike and golf.
245	I am an active member of the cycling community & serve on an advisory committee
246	I am an active person that likes to engage in nature and the outdoors. I bike, hike, run, and kayak. So my surroundings in very important.
247	I am an avid dog walker and bike commuter. I appreciate our warm dry weather. Our mountains are beautiful.
248	I am an outdoor fanatic, whether I am landscaping, biking or taking a walk, the weather in Tucson is wonderful.
249	I am troubled that our community is so reliant on the automobile for transportation. It causes air pollution, stress (all those traffic jams!), safety concerns (no pedestrian eyes on the street as well as many auto crashes), and is a public health issue (not enough walking!!!). A major problem is underfunded multi-modal transit options. Our community needs to start giving greater priority to mixed use, higher density infill developments, walkable communities, more sidewalks, bus pullouts, shade trees, more regional bus lines, bikeways, bike lanes, and greater frequency of bus arrivals/departures.
250	I appreciate all the bike routes and paths, the fact that lots of people ride so most drivers know to look out for us, and that I can ride all year long.
251	I appreciate the closeness to the mountains, lakes, and reachable distance to California and the ocean. I am a native Arizonan from Phoenix with family members throughout Arizona and California. The tennis, hiking, biking and walking weather is ideal for me!
252	I backpack, hike, swim, bike, etc.
253	I bike as my main form of transportation, and thanks to the amazing bikability here in Tucson, my family is transitioning to car-less! I love the bikelanes, and the emphasis on cycling as a priority through the way roads are set up.
254	I bike everywhere, so the holes make it hard, dangerous, and very uncomfortable
255	I can afford to live here. Housing is cheap. I can bicycle.
256	I can afford to own a home in midtown, walk or bike to my job at UA, and drive in less than 15 minutes to all the services I need.
257	I can be outdoors nearly 300 days out of the year. The panoramic view of the mountains; seeing a colorful team of cyclist on the road; the beauty of the desert; the spectacular canyons and trails; and the wildlife - all take ones breath away.
258	I can bicycle or walk most places, yet I have a yard where I can grow things.
259	I can get most everywhere on my bike
260	I can get outside and hike, bike ride or work on projects most of the time with little concern about the weather.
261	I can go from downtown Tucson to the middle of pristine desert in 10 minutes for hiking, biking, and wildlife watching.
262	I can have an outdoor garden, go for a hike, ride a bike, walk or run with family or friends, swim outdoors, and not deal with many environmental disasters common to other parts of the country.
263	I can ride my bike every day of the year
264	I can ride my bike every day, healthy
265	I care about maintaining air quality and want to make our streets usable to all modes of transportation (besides vehicles).
266	I commute by bike a few days a week but parts of my commute are dangerous with regard to lack of bike lanes or sand/debris along rillito path.
267	I cycle and I am afraid to ride in Tucson streets
268	I derive much of my sanity and personal pleasure from hiking, camping, backpacking, cycling, etc. and Tucson's environmental and geographical diversity is wonderful for fulfilling all those activities.
269	I do bicycle commute at times and I have to ride on fast streets and bumpy roads that often have glass and other trash on them. I would like to be safe while commuting and I think this would increase the number of bicycle commuters as well, decrease pollution and car traffic.
270	I do not mean bike paths, trolley (as dumb a project as Tucson has ever planned) or walking paths. Provide better roads for 98% of the population that use automobiles.
271	I don't feel comfortable walking around at night because there is no street lighting, even in the downtown area. Additionally, police are rarely seen patrolling potential high use areas, such as downtown. A bike patrolman or two would be a good addition.
272	I don't like driving or riding my bike in Tucson.
273	I don't ride a bike but I don't want to hit one with my car. They need a separate sidewalk bike lane.
274	I don't want to hit one
275	I don;t want to continue to have to use my car every time I leave the house. It costs a lot to have a car and to use it. It is more fun to bike.
276	I enjoy activities like hiking, biking, backpacking and tucson is a mecca
277	I enjoy being a bike traveler and I have for many years used my bike as my primary mode of transport. Not only is Tucson well suited for this because of the climate, but also because of the mostly adequate network of bike lanes and bike routes. Plus, lots and lots of people bike places so it is not unusual to show up somewhere on your bike.
278	I enjoy bicycling, hiking, camping, fishing, site seeing. Lots of new bike paths have been paved and many more on the way! Sabino Canyon, Madera Canyon, Reddington Pass, Mt. Lemmon, Pima Canyon, Catalina State Park, Biosphere, San Xavier Mission, and all the other historical landmarks in downtown. El Tour de Tucson, Tour of the Tucson Mts.
279	I enjoy bicycling, plus it's eco-friendly.
280	I enjoy doing things outside (hiking, camping, biking, etc.)
281	I enjoy hiking and biking on the trails in the Tucson mountains, Catalina mountains, and Rincon mountains. Keeping a variety of trails open to mountain biking is important to me since I use these trails a lot. We also enjoy bringing our dogs to trails that are open to them to allow them to appreciate the trails as well.
282	I enjoy outdoor activities: playing sports, biking, running, & strolling. It's nicer to do those when it's not cold and rainy.
283	I enjoy riding my bike with my husband and hiking with my kids.
284	I enjoy the natural beauty of the desert. The cactus, animals, plants, the whole package. Love to hike, bike ride and car ride in desert areas.
285	I enjoy the outdoors, specifically mountain biking and hiking.
286	I feel it's important to get people out of their cars. It's better for our environment/air quality, it's better for our community, and it's better for our individual health.
287	I feel lucky to be in a hub right now -Sam Hughes neighborhood near Rincon Market. The place I like to practice yoga is close, the post office is close, I can get to 90% of my 'places' on my bike. It gives a sense of community - there should be more of this.
288	I feel safe on many of the designated streets for bycycles
289	I feel that the Sonoran desert is a very special place, both ecologically and culturally. My husband and I spend most of our free time outdoors biking, hiking, and spotting wildlife. We are in the Big Brother/Sister program, and our 'little brother' also loves exploring areas no one in his family has ever seen (Ironwood Nat. Mon, Fantasy Island, Mt Lemmon, Sweetwater Preserve, Sabino Canyon...)
290	I find Tucson to be very diverse with an abundance of cultural assets. I believe the UA is possibly the most important asset of the whole region. I think the UA should and could toot it's own horn more and reach out to all citizens to participate in and with the UA. Beyond just sports. I like to old west and hispanic influence that has shaped this entire region. I think Tucson has the ability in the coming decades to mold itself into a more desirable and rich community. I'd like to see Tucson brand an image of itself as a outdoor, healthy, intellectual, culturally rich, environmentally sensitive region of America. I'd like to see Tucson build and expand on it's current reputation as a top tier cycling and endurance training center. Build on the wellness reputation that we have become and to pursue Juaquin Ruiz's vision of Tucson becoming a center for geo tourism. I'd like to see Tucson become the desired community within the sun belt for outdoor oriented, healthy lifestyle oriented people to want to live. We are not SoCal or Phoenix. We are different and we attract different people.
291	I get to do the thing I like to do with friends.
292	I had the opportunity to travel over the summer and in the NW there was perfusion of community gardens, recylcing, bike friendly initiatives. I think Tucson could benefit from this type of forward thinking.
293	I hate the way this town pays homage to the automobile. It is increasingly unpleasant to walk or bike. We need to prioritize mixed use.
294	I have children and a dog and we like to go for walks and bike rides to parks
295	I have children, so leaving behind a healthy planet is a big priority for us. We do what we can, but we also appreciate a community that is also doing everything it can, including alternative energy, bike lanes, recycling, 2nd hand stores for re-using, etc.
296	I have found a new hobby and form of exercise. I love riding my bike here and the weather is great for that. Although the roads in the county could be improved with bike lanes.
297	I have made the choice to NOT own a car. i use my bicycle everywhere i go but i would like to have more flexibility when i can't use my bike. more bus lines more often.
298	I have nearly been killed several times by motorists and screamed at for taking up space when biking on the road.
299	I have never lived in a place that sooooo promotes driving cars. Knocking down buildings and potentially closing businesses to repeatedly widen streets is stupid. Congested streets + competitive public transportation fares + good bike lanes = less car traffic.
300	I know it's not as bad as other places, but I moved here 51 years ago, so it's bad now. Solutions include grade-separated interchanges, non-bus mass transit, more 3rd street-style bike routes.
301	I like all the outdoor activities available including hiking, camping, bicyling, views, etc.
302	I like being able to have hiking and bicycle trails in the area I live and nearby.
303	I like being outdoors and exercise is important to me. I like activities such as biking and hiking.
304	I like being outside. I like walking and biking and doing just about anything outside, it is so nice to do that here and so easy. Even in the summer when others are in I'm often out, it can be glorious in that regard. My bungalow is 400 square feet with no AC but the lot is almost 200 feet long and 60 feet wide with lots of space outside to garden and do woodworking projects, compost and raise worms to eat my garbage. These things would be a lot less enjoyable in Seattle!
305	I like biking to work and for pleasure.
306	I like riding my bike as much as possible and I see more and more people riding. Bike paths like the ones on Columbus, Pima, 3rd street feel very safe. I would like to see more paths, wider ones and slower speed limits where bicyclists can feel safe. I would ride more if I felt safer.
307	I like seeing more people biking and having the designated bike lanes to allow for safer biking.
308	I like spending time hiking, birding, mountain biking, etc.
309	I like that I can ride my bike in the middle of town and see horses, coyotes, javalinas and rabbits. I literally live in middle of the city and love that there are dirt roads...I feel like I'm out in the country.
310	I like that Tucson is relatively friendly towards bikers and walkers, at least in the area where I live (Central Tucson). I'm an avid biker, both as a means of transport and recreation, and I believe more bikes on the road are good for the community--good for our environment and for our health.
311	I like the bike friendly environment encountered here in Tucson
312	I like the bike lanes and smooth pavement for recreation and commuting. I love Mt Lemon and the foothills for a variety. The single track mt. biking and hiking trails are incredible. It is n incredible community to bike in. It has room to improve and seems to do so daily. I see a huge economic impact from the known of El tour down to the unseen bike tourists.
313	I like the bike trails and biking can be a realistic alternative
314	I like the central part of town and being bicycle close to all the attractions the UA has to offer. I like to meet my friends at Raging Sage. I like the old homes in the central part of town. I love the desert and mexican influence on homes and landscaping. I love the mexican food!
315	I like the fact that there are more and more bike paths.
316	I like the lifestyle and scenery of the Southwestern states, the big sky, wonderful mountains, historical Indian influence and land. I enjoy camping, hunting, skiing, biking, and having my grandchildren raised more in nature.
317	I like to bicycle and the weather is great for it and many routs around town are great for commuting by bicycle. I love riding through neighborhood and seeing all the great tucson houses and yards and buildings
318	I like to bike and it makes me feel safer
319	I like to bike, hike, etc and Tucson has a good network of hiking trails and bike lanes to support this activity
320	I like to bike, run, swim, hike, and there is a ton of people in Tucson I can do this with
321	I like to bike.
322	I like to commute and do so every day, year round (15 miles roundtrip).
323	I like to commute to work by bike, but often feel like I am taking my life into my hands even on bicycle routes. I would love to see something like the 3rd street bikeway north of Speedway. I would also love it if there could be more of the stations for requesting a light change from one's bike. There are certain intersections along my route, where the light only changes if a car comes to the intersection because a bike is not heavy enough to make the light change.
324	I like to feel that I can go home, and be able to ride my bike to the grocery store. The neighborhood is structured such that people are encouraged to go outside, walk, and meet each other.
325	I like to hike and bike. I can do both with many choices of trails in Tucson. In my lifetime I could never explore all the hiking and biking trails that are available.
326	I like to hike, bike, camp, anything outdoors.
327	I like to hike, run my dog and ride my bicycle.
328	I like to ride my bicycle as much as possible. sometimes my route takes me to some hazardous crossings and streets.
329	I like to ride my bike (for commuting and exercise) and feel safe while doing so.
330	I like to ride my bike to work and would like to see more well planned bike paths. Tucson drivers are nuts!
331	I live between or near three of the worst intersections on the east side of Tucson. Making an intersection 10 lanes wide on each side in both directions (6 lanes of thru, two left, and a right turn/bus bay on each side) is madness. Folks drive too fast, the roads are not exactly straight as you approach the intersection and having a red-light camera only catches one type of infraction. No wonder people don't walk, ride bikes, etc.
332	I live close enough to my work to ride a bike however, there are only bike lanes half way to my destination. I live at Oracle and Calle Concordia and work at Shannon and Magee.
333	I live in an area where the best route out for recreation is through the Sabino Canyon and Tanque Verde intersection--a heart stopper on a bike--and the route to the UA and points west is via River to Craycroft--a heart stopper generally but especially during rush hour.
334	I live just west of downtown in the area most affected by the planned revitalization. So far, there is a wall and a few up-scale homes that no-one in the neighborhood could ever afford to purchase. There are so many wonderful things that could be happening: downtown as an all pedestrian area with restaurants, theater, music, outlets for traditional native crafts, the Stewart Boot Company (or similar), good art galleries (like Etherton), and trams to connect to all of it plus the Tucson Museum of Art and surrounding historic sites. 'A' Mtn. could be cleaned up and made into a safe place for walking, biking, and site seeing from trams for tourists, families, others who congregate - but no cars and no alcohol or drugs. The land west of the river should not just be another housing development. We need walkways, horse trails, an interactive science center, movie theaters, coffee shop, a Trader Joe's or Sunflower, a pool, a gym, boutique hotel, amenities that appeal to the neighborhood and to tourists alike. I personally resent the increase in my property taxes that was meant to reflect the higher values that Rio Nueve was going to create. I don't want lower taxes, I want Rio Nuevo!!
335	I love being able to drive up any street and see a mountain backdrop. I never take for granted being able to drive or bike just a few minutes and reach beautiful desert, riparian canyons, and getaway mountains. I enjoy being able to hike year-round.
336	I love being able to ride my bike to work on safe bike lanes.
337	I love being outdoors and there are plenty of places to go and numerous types of activities available. (I especially enjoy hiking and bicycling). The warm dry climate is beautiful, the air is generally excellent, and the desert mountains are a source of spiritual renewal for me.
338	I love cycling and running and Tucson's weather makes it easy to do this year-round.
339	I love having the opportunity to get around town outside of my car.
340	I love people getting healthy and the bike events, esp. urban assault.
341	I love that I live in a bike friendly town where there are many others that share this interest � using the 3rd St path to get to work is very enjoyable
342	I love that Tucson is so bike friendly.
343	I love that my family can spend as much time outdoors - swimming, biking, hiking. We can go to Sabino Canyon to swim and hike, bike at Sahuaro National Park and drive up Mt. Lemmon for snow and cool air.
344	I love the annual/weekly Events in the Tucson community including the All Souls Procession, The Tucson Rodeo, Tuesday Night Bike Rides, $3 Movie nights at Gallagher Theater at the U of A, Pops Under the Stars, and others. I feel very proud that these events are in my community and I often have visitors come from out of town specifically to attend these events. They are a great opportunity to connect with the community and the city offers great transportation (shuttles/buses etc) to these events.
345	I love the mountains and desert, like to hike and bike in the environs
346	I love the mountains, desert and mountain biking.
347	I love the outdoors, hiking, biking and being and for 7.5 months of the year, Tucson offers a lot of opportunities and diversity to enjoy
348	I love to mountain bike and be outdoors. You can do that year-round here, without frost-bite. In the summer, you can visit Mt. Lemmon to get out of the heat.
349	I love to ride by bicycle to work and in Tucson I can, without needing to fear for my life, thanks to wide streets, bike lanes, bike paths and a general acceptance of cycling.
350	I love walking, hiking and biking in the desert. It is so beautiful and I would love to keep it pristine.
351	I need to spend lots of time outdoors and Tucson has so much in the way of urban trails, hiking opportunities, bike paths, etc. I love all the events held regularly, particularly 'Tucson Meet Yourself' and 'Second Saturday.' I walk up Tumamoc hill regularly too.
352	I now work resettling refugees. Very often a refugee's first job is at a restaurant. The buses don't run late (or early weekends) meaning refugees must bicycle home many miles late at night. A few months ago a carload of drunks hit a refugee in the head with a rock when leaving his late-night job downtown.
353	I really care about the environment and I wish there were a way to make the streets of tucson easier to navigage for bikers. Tucson is so spread out and a car is essential here, I wish we had better, more widely used public transportation, or bike routes that were safer than taking the main roads
354	I ride a bike, and am friends with others who ride bikes. Too much of Tucson is designed specifically for cars, and it discourages others from making the transition to healthier transportation.
355	I ride my bike a lot, but I am scared of bike lanes that suddenly end on busy streets and fast traffic. More bike boulevards please!
356	I ride my bike a lot. I commute on it nearly every day. As nice as Tucson is for biking, it could be better with more underpasses like the ones that go under Speedway near UA and more routes with better separation from car traffic.
357	I ride my bike every day and appreciate bike facilities and routes that make cycling safer for riders of all ages and skill levels. I'd like to see more of this.
358	I ride my bike everyday
359	I ride my bike to work. I like the scale of Tucson, that I can ride my bike to work and other destinations. Tucson is a fairly bikable city.
360	I see too many of the white ghost bikes around town. Often the reason is because the road is just not engineered to have both bikes and cars occupying the same space. It isn't right for cyclists to hold up traffic or cause traffic to do dangerous moves to pass them, but cyclists should have safe places for commuting or pleasure.
361	I spend as much time outdoors as possible hiking, biking, eating, etc. After living in Arizona for 35 years, I can't imagine spending months at a time without that warm sunshine on my shoulders 360 days a year.
362	I spend six months here to enjoy the mountains, biking, and golf. I also enjoy the restaurants and cultural events.
363	I spent summers in Mpls/ St. Paul and saw what parks can do for neighborhoods. There is a park about every two to four blocks in St. Paul. Wonderful! Kids ride bikes and play after school and every evening. In summer moms with toddlers go there.
364	I think its important for our children to grow up in a place where they can enjoy the outdoor recreational opportunities (hiking, biking, camping, swimming) that our community has to offer
365	I think that this community would benefit tremendously if we could bring a bit more balance to our transportation options and make the city more liveable/walkable/bikeable. It would not only make the geography more attractive, it would have tremendous health benefits. It makes me crazy that such an obvious win-win concept is met with such resistance by powerful interests that have such influence.
366	I travel on a daily basis by foot, bike, or car
367	I use our existing paths, wish there were more.
368	I use to ride my bike 35 miles a week for exercise but stopped do to drivers (cars) not caring and cyclists who do not obey laws while riding.
369	I want to be able to ride my bike from Civano to Sunflower Market without going in the street
370	I want to be able to travel safely with my children on my bike wherever I go and right now that is not possible. I also believe that there is serious social inequity in where transportation dollars are spent. This results in an unhealthy, obese population, polluted air, degradation of the surrounding environment, and lower income populations being unable to ever get out of poverty because they are dependent on an EXPENSIVE auto industry. I would like to see the healthy choice be the easy choice.
371	I want to hop on a bus and go to the mall or the supermarket, and I want to know that a bus will come by every 15 minutes so that I can do that. I want to go out my door and ride a bike or walk for pleasure without getting mown down by cars.
372	I want to ride my bike each day
373	I want to see streets dedicated to PEOPLE not cars. I want the city to devote time and resources to making this city more livable. Bike boulevards, greenways, smaller roads, light rail systems, passenger trains etc.
374	I wish I lived in a neighborhood with sidewalks and bike paths (not just lanes on the busy street) so I could take advantage of the gorgeous weather 9 mos of the year and walk or bike with my family to do my errands and be out in my community safely and healthfully.
375	I would improve transit options, including bike infrastructure
376	I would increase the amount of pedestrian/bicycle pathways
377	I would like to go car-less but need better modes and ease of access to bike boulevards, buses, rail, etc.
378	I would like to ride my bike to work but there is no safe route for a beginner like me.
379	I would like to see Tucson as a leader in alternative transportation. More bike lanes, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, comfortable buses, modern streetcar and light rail to Phoenix.
380	I would walk, bike, take public transportation, especially at night, if I felt safe
381	I'd like my kids to be able to bike in the community and feel safe.
382	I'd like to (see) Tucson become a city with sustainable densities that promote walkable and bikeable streets, vibrant neighborhoods and a healthier quality of life
383	I'd like to bicycle and walk more places. This means better security for bicycle parkers.
384	I'd love to be able to bike from the northwest to downtown without getting on a local street or I-10 frontage road. NPRR has the alignment, can't we get a 12' ribbon of pavement in there to help get us around?
385	I'm Ok with the lack of a cross-town freeway, but we need another way other than Tanque Verde to drive/bike east-west on the north side of the city.
386	I'm an outdoor person who enjoys outdoor activities - hiking, camping, fishing, biking, etc.
387	I've always liked the idea of biking to work, but never seriously considered it until moving to Tucson. My car has been out of commission for months and I have barely noticed it because I can ride anywhere and seldom have to share lanes with cars.
388	I've been a member of and volunteered for the Tucson Community Supported Agriculture group, the U.S. Green Building Council Southern Arizona Chapter, the annual bike count by the Pima Association of Governments, and the Watershed Management Group. All of these groups have benefited me personally and work to make Tucson a stronger, more sustainable community. One that I'm proud to be a part of.
389	I've walked along many major routes to get to places I wanted to get to (Country Club south from Campbell to Reid park) pushing a stroller. It was nearly impassable on some sides of the street or both until after passing Broadway (recently improved this year). Don't mention heading north on the west side of the street from Campbell. Traffic is inches away from you and there is no sidewalk...almost no space to push a stroller.
390	If bicyclist want to ride on the street let them pay a registration that would help pay for the bike paths and extra lanes. I'm not allowed to drive my tractor on the shoulder of the road because it is not licensed, but they can obstruct a traffic lane???
391	If we want to explore Tucson, the frustration of traffic makes it difficult to do so. Possibly make more and safer bike lanes
392	If you know where to find people, there's a lot going on; lots of activities. You feel like you are part of the greater whole/ bicycling, writer, tennis
393	Improve bicycling and transportation culture and infrastructure
394	Improve bicycling infrastructure.
395	Improve bike facilities
396	Improve bike lanes throughout city and county
397	Improve pedestrian/bike experiences on major thoroughfares
398	Improve road maintenance for easier transportation. Widen to add further bike lanes to lessen the possibility of accidents and increase alternative transportation
399	Improve the integration of cars and bikes
400	Improve the ones to make them safer
401	Improve urban bike paths along rillitos and along roadways
402	Improved bike & pedestrian infrastructure
403	Improved public transportation / bike lanes
404	Improved roads (fewer potholes), more sidewalks and bike paths, light rail?
405	Improving bike lane access to connect all areas
406	In spite of its reputation as a cycling friendly place so many bike paths are simply white lines on the street--only young, able and risk-tolerant people really feel safe. Plus cyclists so frequently break the law or don't seem to know what it is (can you ride your bike across the street in a ped crossing?)
407	Increase bicycle commuting by creating more carless greenways
408	Increase bike and walking paths (arteries)
409	Increase bike lanes
410	Increase bike route access
411	Increase cops on bikes
412	Infrastructure for bikes
413	Instead of focusing only on cars lets get people to live, play and work where they live. Let's improve our mobility through connectivity of sidewalks and other assets such as bike lanes.
414	Interurban access - bikeability (safety, alternate modes, pleasurable rides in neighborhoods
415	Invest heavily in bicycle infrastructure
416	Invest in bike routes and alternative transportation rather than more roads
417	It floods when it rains. It's madness to drive on the roads. Also the roads are very bumpy and not bike friendly.
418	It has become a bike-friendly city - A+ bike lanes
419	It is almost impossible to drive around the city without experiencing road rage...Not at other drivers, but at the terrible infrastructure of the roads here. It's terrible to drive anywhere east/west and this NEEDS to change to accomodate the growing population. It would also be nice to have roads cleaned up regularly and fixed so I don't die when I'm biking and fall into a GIANT pothole.
420	It is easy to find people who like to do things and appreciate the desert's beauty. This is a repeat, but I really appreciate how many areas I can get to on my bike and still have a bike lane.
421	It is important to me to live in a community that encourages health, exercise and conservation. I appreciate that Tucson invests in bike lanes that increase the safety of those who bike to work and/or for recreation.
422	It is very difficult to easily get from one point of town to the other whether you are driving a car, riding a bus, or a bike. This sections off our community quite a bit.
423	It is very easy to leave your front door and enjoy the outdoors by hiking, riding your bike, etc.
424	It took me a while out here, but I have begun to discover so many truly unique Tucson places that are amazing - Bicas bike co-op, amazing little restaurants, meet me at maynards run downtown, thrift shops, etc etc
425	It will allow the area to develop holisitically - jobs, shopping, walking, biking, etc.
426	It would be great to have separate bike lanes throughout town - not the painted white lines on busy streets.
427	It would create a more itneresting sense of place and Tucson needs ot be a safer palce to bike
428	It would give me and other more places to workout.
429	It's easier to be healthy when this value is reflected in the community. Everyone does yoga, cycles or hikes and healthy food is easily available.
430	It's hard to live here without a car. Would love to be able to do so and that means better, more extensive public transportation and a really cohesive bicycling network.
431	Its bike-friendliness
432	Its great that we have so many bike paths and encourage riding bikes. especially since its a much healthier choice for people and the environment. i'm glad to see this live style growing and continue to grow.
433	Keep bike lanes open.
434	Keep working on better bike lanes, etc
435	Keep working on the Modern Streetcar and other options. We are making progress but are not there yet. It is often faster to get around without a car and easier on the environment so we all win with a greater number of options. Keep working on bike boulevards, greenways and other avenues that encourage people to want to commute without their cars.
436	LICENSE THE BIKES
437	Lack of dedicated bike paths
438	Large private cars with only ONE person in them should be dis-incented. Bus, trolley, bicycle, car pool, and smart cars should be incented
439	Larger effort to make tucson a bike/ped town through no-car events
440	Less money spent of roads and more on serious public transportation (think high-speed rail) and bikeways
441	License bicycles
442	Light rail needs to expand as well as bike boulevards.
443	Like to do 20 miles several times each week. Lack of bike lanes makes this sometimes dangerous.
444	Live/work homes (more businesses okay with workers at home), neighborhoods (easier acceptance of home businesses), better sidewalks for pedestrians, better roadways for bicyclist
445	Living in Tucson you can drive 20min to be in nature. Biking, climbing, are easily accessible
446	Living in a bikable, walkable community with good public transportation options is very appealing
447	Living streets - local organizations for bikes - get involved
448	Loops around the city for bikes that have no cars and no stop signs. No walkers on the bike paths.
449	Lot's of bike lanes
450	Lots of choices when it comes to eating and shopping. Not just large, national stores and restaurants that serve/sell the same things every where. Can walk and bike to may of these.
451	Lots of open space - horseriding/biking (close to the city) national parks close to the city (it's a tourist attraction)
452	Love the ability to go outside and hike or bike or walk on many of the public areas.
453	Love to run, bike
454	MAKE THE BIKE RIDERS OBSERVE THE LAW
455	Major intersections are dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians - would like to see more underpasses like near the University under Speedway
456	Make Tucson actually bike-friendly.
457	Make bicycle commuting easier
458	Make it morewalkable/bikeable
459	Make more streets more bike friendly. I.e. have dedicated bike thoroughfares, not just shoulder bike lanes
460	Make safe bike paths that link all parts of the city. This is a great way to improve health, too.
461	Make the streets not only bike or pedestrian friendly, but bike and pedestrian centric
462	Make the streets safe for bicyclists.
463	Many big cities have traffic cops to streamline traffic flow during rush hour. Especially with budget cuts, it is a good opportunity to see a cop out of a vehicle, and certainly it couldn't hurt our traffic flow. Maybe parking meters rates should increase, but so should biking incentives (showers).
464	Many of my friends are avid bikers and it is become more of a trend to bike rather than drive everywhere you can, Tucson makes it easy to be a bicyclist
465	Many of our streets are in desperate need of repaving. Many need shoulders and bike lanes. This would improve the traffic flow and hopefully reduce accidents.
466	Many of the roads, especially those that are for bikes (like 3rd street) are in terrible disrepair.
467	Many streets have no shoulders and the people have a 'get out of my way' attitude towards bicyclists. Bicycling to work or to play should be honored to encourage a cleaner, healthier, environment and a slower pace.
468	Mass transit and biking would improve air quality
469	Maybe it is too costly and too late to build a cross town freeway for cars, but why can't we build a cross town system of freeways for bicycles and walkers. Other cities have this and it really helps give the city class. We have the weather for bike transportation, now let's get the infrastructure.
470	Maybe the city fathers (and mothers) should commute by bike to downtown for a week; but certainly one day. A day isn't enough time to start to think of the problems that need to be addressed. GOOD JOB on the restriping on Congress downtown to Silverbell.
471	Mentality and culture need to change (bike lanes alone won't solve the problem)
472	Millions are spent to re-do roads with no improvement. How wide must bike lanes be? A perfect example is the latest construction on Sunrise- a 2 year disaster that did nothing but place large power poles to block the most scenic area in the region!
473	Minimal commuting time, can walk to lots of restaurants/activities, easy to bike
474	More Bike Lanes
475	More Bike trails!
476	More and more cars affect us as cyclists
477	More and safer bike lanes and paths
478	More and safer bike lanes including riverside paths out to Savino Canyone road.
479	More and safer bike routes
480	More bicycle & pedestrian friendly streets
481	More bicycle races
482	More bicycle routes
483	More bike and walking paths
484	More bike boulevards/bikeways.
485	More bike friendly
486	More bike friendly routes and community gardens
487	More bike friendly streets and paths.
488	More bike lanes
489	More bike lanes, parkways
490	More bike lanes, wider bike lanes
491	More bike only routes
492	More bike paths
493	More bike paths -- less traffic
494	More bike paths and better maintanence on exisiting paths.
495	More bike paths, walking trails that connect the city
496	More bike trails, less road trails
497	More bikeable areas
498	More bikes, fewer cars, more/better transit
499	More biking friendly/public transportation - reduce the cars on the road
500	More comprehensive sidewalks and bike paths. Bring back the arts! Prioritize education. Develop or refurbish in city areas. Stop the spread.
501	More connection bike/walking paths that are separated from the roadways
502	More creative bike infrastructure
503	More exercise bikes
504	More focus downtown on pedestrian/bicycle facilities
505	More improved, affordable, multi-modal transportation
506	More mass transportation & bike only streets.
507	More mountain biking trails
508	More parks and people friendly places to walk/run/bike
509	More parks, exercise and bike paths in all parts of town
510	More paths to schools - paved paths off the side of the road, not just a shoulder (like in much of Europe)
511	More pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets
512	More revenue for the city
513	More running/cycling trails and parks
514	More streets like Mountain - enhance the bike paths, sidewalks and reduce the impact of cars.
515	More trails and bike paths.
516	More transportation choices are needed (streetcar, rail, bike lane, etc.)
517	More walking/bike paths, MUCH more public transportation
518	Mountain biking
519	My husband and I are both cyclists and outdoor-sy people. We both enjoy social cycling and my husband races as well. The sport is really important to us, so the other cyclists we have met here, as well as cycling organizations makes Tucson a place we like to live in. Safety is important also, and Tucson has a relatively good infrastructure in roads with bike lanes.
520	My wife loves Bonsai, there is a society for it. I love bikes as I mentioned above. There are so many like minded people. It is a city with a small town feel
521	Need more trees, appropriate landscaping, etc to cool and shade right-of-ways as I bike/walk around town.
522	Need safe bike paths because traffic is crazy
523	Need to get bikes off streets
524	Needs to be more bike lanes and trails
525	Nice hiking and biking trails throughout the city too.
526	Nice to see all the the art fairs, street fairs, Second Saturdays, light festival, bike rides, etc. Lots of stuff to do and see and involve myself with
527	No Snow able to bike outside
528	No snow. Can be outside, hike, ride bike 3 seasons of the year.
529	Not enough sidewalks / bike lanes
530	Not very bike or pedestrian friendly
531	One of the best aspects of Tucson is great winter weather.... build those bike paths, trails and they will come. Preserve vegetation, care for animals and the environment and the region will always be cherished.
532	One that is heavily bent to my likes - environment and landscape. So that means a system that relies on alt modes where you can enjoy the environment: specifically walkability, bicycles, and the streetcar. (must be complemented with desert landscaping, water harvesting, etc)
533	Open space - parks, bikeways, washes, mountains
534	Opportunities for hiking and moutain biking close to home. Close to wildlife and nature. Protected scenic views.
535	Opportunities for outdoor recreation (hiking, biking, golf, etc.)
536	Options other than cars (public transit, bikes, and walking) promote connections and interactions with other people in the community and to our physical surroundings
537	Our area is incredibly beautiful and the weather is perfect for being out in nature. Hiking, biking, running, swimming...
538	Our roads are a little outdated and can be hazardous for cars (pot holes) and there are hardly any sufficient bike lanes for cyclists.
539	Our streets are in deplorable condition which often result in costly car repairs. Before spending millions turning streets into bike paths/roads, fix and/or fill the cavernous potholes that are everywhere, particularly on main thoroughfares such as Grant Road
540	Outdoor Amenities (hiking, bike trails, etc.)
541	Outdoor activities (hiking, biking, etc)
542	Outdoor activities - Desert Museum, zoo, Mt. Lemmon, Biking
543	Outdoor activities i.e. biking, hiking, running, camping
544	Outdoor pursuits, biking, hiking, national parks, Mt. Lemmon
545	Parks, river parks with bike paths, etc. make the city livable and friendly for families. We don't have a single park within walking distance and unfortunately the schools are off limits to neighborhood kids except during school.
546	People working to make Tucson a bicycle and pedestrian friendly town makes it a nice place to live. When I am zipping along the freeways in the Phoenix area I feel disconnected and like I am observing my life rather than living it.
547	Plenty of hiking trails, as well as beautiful places to walk, cycle and other year round.
548	Pot holes are a safety hazard - especially for cyclists
549	Preservation of open space, riparian corridors, and the mountains/desert provide recreational opportunities - particularly birding. And many active recreational choices as well, cycling, hiking etc.
550	Provide bike paths, walking paths, access to schoolyards and parks and music/dance facilities in areas where those amenities aren't as abundant.
551	Provide sidewalks and bike lanes all over town.
552	Provide transportation alternatives - modern street car, bike lanes, etc. Best approach: plan for a city that relies less on cars
553	Proximity of downtown to hiking, biking, prehistory, and history
554	Public transport, biker friendly - fewer cars
555	Recreation opportunities � outdoor/cycling
556	Recreation/hiking/biking/the great outdoors!
557	Reduce automobile traffic, fund road improvements like bike lanes, fund functional public transportation
558	Reduce car usage by improve mass transit/ options for bicycling/
559	Region-wide, standardized, clearly marked & enforced bike lanes!
560	Register bicycles and license their riders
561	Register bicycles.
562	Relatively easy to bicycle around town
563	Riding a bicycle through the downtown area is horrible. Confusing one way streets make it hard to navigate, congested parallel parking makes bikes harder to be seen, small lanes and trolley tracks make it dangerous. Downtown is the worst place in the city for bicycles, and also one of the most popular.
564	Riding bike is part of my lifestyle
565	Riding bikes
566	Riding my Bike
567	River parks, especially the Rillito. Sabino Canyon, all mountain ranges around Tucson, lots of nice, wide bike lanes.
568	Road building, demolition, and suburban wasteland are destroying our city center, including Rio Neuavo. solutions include: and end to zero master planning, it is time to get some young, creative and contemporary ideas going and to develop a long range master plan, instead of our urban planning being managed as independant projects by commitiees and policy makers instead of urban planners; preservation, renoavation, and adative reuse of hisotric structure, part of the very fabric and character of our city, no more major loses like magic carpet golf and the Santa Rita Hotel. No more road building, we need to find better solutions than super highways that divide our community, no more road widening projects, who what to live in a city of freeways.. more bike commuter access and incentives, time to get creative, plenty of small cities have developed all kinds of models.
569	Safe streets for cycling and walking
570	Safer Bicycling facilities
571	Safer bicycle routes
572	Safer bike paths
573	Safer biking in downtown
574	Safer to ride.
575	Safety (sidewalks and bikes)
576	Same reason
577	Scientists tell us that much of our pollution is generated by vehicles. It's good that bicycles have been provided for with the addition of many bicycle lanes, however, the lanes are too narrow for larger human-powered vehicles.
578	See #1 and #2
579	Several reasons: 1. making the city more 'green' by reducing emissions that pollute our air (which isn't as clean as it used to be) and reduce emission of greenhouse gases. 2. Keeping Tucson a friendly, small-town-feeling place means focusing on people, not cars. Lots of people in single-occupancy vehicles doesn't build community. 3. Mass Transit/bike options need to be improved to reduce car usage.
580	Short travel time to work, food, and play. Sometimes I can walk or bike.
581	Small town feel in a big city/Lots of bicycling
582	So I can commute on my bike without having to ride on the streets. Rillito - Santa Cruz - Aviation Bikeway
583	So much outdoor stuff possible, from walking, biking (pleasure and commute), hiking, windows open, blue skying, hanging out on the patio
584	So people would be able to bike anywhere and encouraged to do so
585	So that I could do my errands by bike
586	So we can bike and walk in peace
587	Some of the greatest danger and biggest inconvenience is the glass and gravel in the roads. Imagine coming down Mt. Lemmon, hitting a patch of broken glass, and trying to hang on at 30-40 mph while riding on your bike's rims.
588	Spend money to finish the bikepaths and roads
589	Sprawl (inadequate multi-modal transportation system) No critical mass to effectively support sustainable travel modes such as light rail
590	Street/bike lane condition
591	Strong biking community
592	Sunny able to bike outside
593	Surface streets are deteriorating rapidly. We need a comprehensive maintenance and repair plan so all forms of ground transportation, public and private, will have good streets to travel on. We also need to provide more options for pedestrian and bicycle transportation.
594	THEY SPEAD OUT INTO THE STREETS AND HOLD UP TRAFFIC
595	TPD recently ticketed bicyclists downtown for riding on sidewalks, yet all bike lanes end before reaching downtown, where bike commuters, students, and people visiting clubs and galleries have no bike lane to seperate them from buses and cars. I use the sidewalk to remain alive when commuting to work downtown. Bike lanes, bike lanes, bike lanes downtown please!
596	Take bike lanes of the main roads and put them on specific side streets that typically run across town
597	The Bike paths are intermittent. Having attempted to ride around Tucson with my daughter, we could sometimes be able to ride safely on a designated path/lane for a couple of blocks, then be forced onto gravel or into the road for a few blocks, and back to a path etc. We gave it up when she fell off her bike whe the path ended sudenly and turned into gravel. Too bad that Tucson isn't bike/walking friendly in all neighborhoods to encourage fitness.
598	The U of A is a great asset. It has provided so much for us: work, learning, and biking through its mall on weekends. Its parks are beautiful, and also its museums, and Music Hall. A great environment for us.
599	The ability to participate in outside recreation is so important yet one has to drive to a park. Link parks with paths using washes. Create an environment where people want to walk or ride their bike to get somewhere.
600	The ability to play golf/bike in the winter
601	The ability to ride my bike all year long
602	The ability to walk and bike to most destinations
603	The amount of bikers (cyclist)
604	The availability to be out of doors literally year-round to hike, bike, horse-back ride in a beautiful environment.
605	The beautiful nature hiking paths, bike paths, mountains, canyons
606	The beautiful weather makes it a very pleasant place to live - easy to travel, walk, ride a bike, enjoy the outdoors. It fosters a healthy lifestyle and I think people should be more relaxed than those living in areas where the four seasons bring snow, rain and dark days that impact people's moods and travel to/from work, wherever.
607	The bicycling Community
608	The bicyling
609	The bike friendliness in many parts of the town
610	The bike lanes
611	The bike lanes and choices in Tucson are quite nice. I just hope we can keep them clean and available to bikers.
612	The bike path next to the Rilliato River is amazing
613	The bike trail that winds along the I-10 & wash between Grant & 22nd street - now paving north up to Ruthraff- great path! easily accessible-
614	The busses are never on time. The streets are in awful shape. There is no streetlights / sidewalks and dangerous to walk and ride a bike at night. GIVE me a freeway to get across town quicker...WHAT era is Tucson existing in????
615	The continual visual access to the beautiful mountains, the easy physical access to beautiful natural sites. The year around possibility for out door activity and bicycle commuting. The year around possibility for out door activity and bicycle commuting
616	The emphasis on maintaining bike accesibility within the city helps Tucson be not only one of the most bike friendly cities in the U.S., but also one of the healthier. An active citizenry is a necessity, and providing not only bike lanes on (almost) all major streetways, but also bike lockers, bike information, and the BAC encourages those who might otherwise stay indoors or drive.
617	The energy and feel of gathering together to do something active. I am a bike cyclist and generally try to commute my 10 mile distance to work. People who are advocating for more community and accessibility and public space are the ones who also push for safer and better bike use. Also, with events like Maynard's, there is a shared effort by the business community to support and grow the use and enjoyment of downtown.
618	The hiking and biking trails/paths
619	The mountains are very scenic and allow for lots of outdoor activities - climbing, biking, hiking, camping, etc.
620	The mountains around Tucson afford numerous recreational oppertunities- hiking, camping, mtn biking, 4 wheeling....beautiful sunsets behind mountains.
621	The mountains provide breathtaking views wherever you live. They provide opportunities for hikes, walks, horseback rides, camping, biking and more.
622	The parts of Tucson that aren't bike friendly
623	The pot holes make it harder to get around, and so that cyclists must choose their routes carefully
624	The reason I remain in Tucson is because of the hiking and biking opportunties that abound around the city.
625	The roads are overcrowded, making them tedious and unsafe. We have made great strides for bicycles. We need better public transportation.
626	The tail wags the dog - need money to do the bike lanes, etc. We need good paying jobs
627	The typically mild weather allows me to enjoy being outside biking, hiking, playing golf, tennis, basketball, dining, etc.
628	The way we drive during monsoons - safety on flooded roads and the splashing of bicyclists
629	The weather allows us the enjoy our surroundings more. More cycling, more running, in other words, we thoroughly enjoy all the outdoor activities with the great weather.
630	The winter weather months, allow me to do things outdoors like: run, jog, walk, bike ride.
631	There are a large number of trails for public use in the Tucson area and they allow people to connect with the natural beauty of the tucson area. Walking, biking and vehicle trails provides endless enjoyment to those who utilize them.
632	There are a lot of bicyclists and the roads are dangerous
633	There are bike paths - but they start and stop in the middle of no-where - it would be nice to have continuous bike paths or even bike only routes to encourage more biking
634	There are miles of bike lanes for riding, state, city and National parks/forests for exploring. The proximity to and abundance of outdoor activities are the reason I choose to live in Tucson.
635	There are outdoor recreation areas available in all directions. I can hike, bike and horse back ride. I have lived in East Tucson and West Tucson. Both have easy access to lots of outdoor recreation.
636	There are so many areas that I won't ride into because there are either no bike paths or the adjacent traffic makes me feel unsafe. We do not live near 3rd - but more of that on the Eastside would make me happy.
637	There are so many crossovers - biking is good for fitness, the planet, and the natural environment
638	There is a lot of pedestrian, bike, trolley and cars that make this a scary area.
639	There needs to be more paths and parks where people can walk, visit, bikeride, etc.
640	This choice may actually trump the downtown because this is really the reason I live in Tucson. There is a great bike community, many of whom take great advantage of the mostly-friendly streets with fairly safe shoulders or bike lanes (but the really do need to be swept more often), but my crew, in addition to road biking, use the trails all the time and love that unlike Phoenix or NYC, we rarely have to travel more than 40 minutes (if going from N.E. side to 50 yr trail in Catalina) to be in the wonderful scenic expanse of house/building-free areas. During the winter and much of the fall and spring, the weather is ideal!
641	This is an outstanding place for people to get to know about the Sonoran Desert while also having an opportunity to participate in taking care of part of our natural heritage. It is also a great place to hike, bike, picnic, and explore. And, it is a great place for people from all walks of life to come together with a common purpose.
642	This is important not only to me but, I suspect, to everyone. We need more mass transit; a train system would be nice and would be totally doable here. Maybe Bus Rapid Transit. More bike paths, especially on the periphery. This could be easily accomplished by stopping the practice of walling in groupings of new houses with no pedestrian/bike through access.
643	This would enable me to go shop, visit friends, and go to cultural attractions on my bike in an attractive setting
644	Though Tucson does a decent job, I'd like to see the bikeability/walkability/public transportation situation improve. With all the wide open space we have, in fact, I think we should be leading the country in this aspect.
645	Though the new street car is to take shape in the next couple of years, more attention still needs to be directed to effective public transit, park and rides, bike commuting, etc.
646	To be able to travel without using an auto.
647	To be more bike friendly
648	To reduce traffic and emissions, encourage bicycles and walking.
649	Town isn't too spread out. The city is relatively clean, low in crime, bike friendly, and neighborhood friendly throughout.
650	Traffic is crazy and will get worse...it is not safe to walk or bike along our major roads. It would also improve peoples ability to use alternative transportation to get to work - and improve our air quality if that happens.
651	Trails & paths for pedestrians, bikes, etc.
652	Transportation access and biking
653	Transportation includes walkability and bicycles - design for pleasant walking
654	Tucson and Pima County need a functional transportation plan. We need to look at alternatives to automobile travel within the city. Improved bike lanes, pedestrian access, satellite parking in the U of A and downtown areas. Use some of the vacant land away from the U of A and downtown for parking and provide better public transportation to those areas.
655	Tucson has a great network of trails and bike paths with more being added all the time thanks to the RTA. This makes Tucson a place about people, not just more cars. The next big challenge is how to make this a more pedestrian friendly community. Six and eight lane city streets are not pedestrian friendly and are downright dangerous.
656	Tucson has a small town atmosphere that makes it a very liveable city. You can walk, bike, and/or drive anywhere, generally without too much traffic or too much hassle. As I say this, however, I must also say I recognize that Tucson's small town atmosphere is also something that I dislike - it is clearly a double edged sword.
657	Tucson has a ton of bike lanes and I like that. Of course you can't have enough bike facilities. Heh.
658	Tucson has an incredible wealth of world-class outdoor recreation sites and other potential sites. If Tucson promoted itself as an outdoor recreation paradise for mt and road bikers, rock climbers, golfers, skateboarders and others it could become a destination city. Drop the baseball dreams. Tucson is happy supporting the U of A athletics.
659	Tucson has grown a lot in the past decade, but the infrastructure of the city has failed to keep pace with the expansion. City streets are to narrow with too few lanes, traffic lights are not timed appropriately to ensure the best flow of traffic. And the bike lanes are not given enough clearance to ensure the safety of the bicylcist.
660	Tucson is NOT Phoenix and should never hold Phoenix up as a model. The community has a rythmn, a pace, a quality of life. There should be every opportunity sought to expand on improving the quality of life - improve housing, parks, public transportation, bike paths, running paths, connectivity throughout the community.
661	Tucson is a beautiful place to live. Surrounded by mountains, desert, wildlife, dark skies which project the moon and stars like on a canvas - bike and hiking trails - What more could you want in a place called home?
662	Tucson is a prime example of a sprawling western city. Encouraging compact central communities with safe walking and biking districts and proximity to restaurants and bars is desirable.
663	Tucson is easy to get around and could be lots better. Also, more mass transit and bicycles (related to Land Use)
664	Tucson is in a valley surrounded by four spectacular mountain ranges, making for great hikes and bicycle rides in the surrounding area.
665	Tucson is in dire need of building the transportation of the future. We need bicycling facilities for more cautious bicycle riders. We have fairly good facilities for assertive riders but almost nothing for the people who would not bicycle on major streets. Also, we need to start building our mass transit of the future which could be (first choice) rapid bus transit or (second choice) light rail.
666	Tucson is the perfect place to ride a bike. Traffic is so hard to negotiate it is not safe to ride as a commuter in town. With strategic hawking lights bike routes could make safe, fast commutes available from Oracle to Craycroft easily.
667	Tucson is very bike and runner-friendly with several roads having designated bike lanes and numerous outdoor events throughout the year. This really encourages community members to get outside and meet eachother in a healthy way.
668	Tucson is well suited for a real modern streetcar system (not just one short line like we're going to get from the UA to downtown). I would love to see comprehensive rail lines running east/west and north/south so that people could get places without driving. I HATE the excessive car traffic in Tucson. I would also like to see better bike routes with greater connectivity. I don't like riding on bike lanes on busy car roads, but often these are the only ways to get from one side of town to another.
669	Tucson may be relatively bike-friendly, but it is still a dangerous place to bike. Need more trans-city routes, also light rail to Phoenix to reduce dangerous driving conditions and traffic congestion.
670	Tucson needs a crosstown expressway to link east to west and north to south (on the eastside). By improving roadways I also mean not only for cars but for bicyclists and pedestrians as well. Tucson has a dearth of sidewalks which makes foot travel incredibly difficult.
671	Tucson needs to be more livable - more mass transit, pedestrian corridors, bike lanes. there is too much sprawl that destroys the environment/ecosystems that make tucson unique. need more connectivity through multi-modal transportation to help local economy/businesses.
672	Tucson's Cycling Community
673	UA games, golf, swimming, bike paths
674	WHEN MY KIDS WERE GROWING UP THEY HAD TO LICENSE AND REGISTER THIER BIKES WAS A $1 A YEAR WOULDN`T THAT HELP WITH REPAIRING OUR STREETS? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BIKES
675	Walk / bike ways � a breakdown lane is not a bike path
676	Walkable and bike friendly
677	Walking/bike trails
678	Want to be able to expand places where I run or cycle.
679	Warm-ish in the winter; not ridiculous in the summer, if you have lived here a while. LOTS to do (those who say otherwise are afraid of getting out of breath): Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, hiking, biking.
680	We are such a car oriented society and I am admittedly part of that - it would take a really effective mass-transit system for me to give up driving on days where I didn't really have to. I live too far out to bus or bike, etc.
681	We can be outside all year round, barbeque, run, bike
682	We can increase ridership and fight congestion if we can convince more people to commute by bike. Bike Boulevards have worked well in other cities, especially Portland, and should be funded here.
683	We do not have adequate highway travel for a city the size of Tucson. I work in 9-1-1 fire/medical dispatch and we see an enormous amount of motor vehicle accidents, pedestrians struck, bicyclists struck, etc. I lived in Rochester, NY for 5yrs - a smaller city than Tucson - and they have at least 3 major highways that make travel from each corner of the city and its suburbs fast and convenient - one highway circles the downtown area, one runs north/south and one runs east/west. Our 16+ lane intersections that run through the city limits are hazardous and not as efficient as travel along I10 offers.
684	We do not need suh wide residential streets. We can only drive 25 down them anyway, and they increase increase the urban heat island effect. We could use more space for bike pedestrians and plants
685	We get to ride bikes as exercise or a little while.
686	We have accessible wildlife because of our parks and bike paths
687	We have cycling weather pretty much all year. California towns have downtown cycle/scooter parking and it encourages taking only what you need on any downtown errand
688	We have fabulous recreational opportunities here within a one hour drive - Mt Lemon, Madera Canyon, Sabino Canyon, the Tucson mtns, lots of parks, the river walks, bike paths, Fantasy Island. Its easy to get outside and enjoy the outdoors quickly.
689	We need designated bike paths that travel across town, without dead-ending for people to utilize for commuting and recreation. Similar to the Rillito River trail on every wash and adjacent to multiple major cross-streets, for easy travel.
690	We need to have a crosstown freeway! more bike paths. extend the light rail. be one of the nodes for the national high speed railway system.
691	We need to make our city for bike/ped/alternative transportation friendly. Less parking lots and roads.
692	We need to walk and bike everywhere (for the health of it, and to experience the beauty around us more personally)
693	We only have two major bicycle races. We need to take advantages of our beautiful weather and the huge amount of cyclist that live in our community. More races will bring more economic stimulis to our region.
694	We pay a ton of money for our kids to attend the U of A. Both have had bikes stolen. One has had an apt. broken in to. It seems the same group of people prey on students year to year. This is the first year the U of A is taking bike theft seriously.
695	We've got hundreds of miles of bike lanes on busy streets. We need more separated facilities and bike boulevards. Families will feel safe on those, but not on Campbell.
696	Weather !! - 350+ days/year for biking � no snow shoveling
697	Weather - Sunshine for the majority of the year - ability to do outdoor activities such as running and biking on clean, safe paths.
698	Weather encourages/allows me to be more physically active. Walk, hike, bike, swim. More alive
699	Weather great for biking, but not safety and quality and quantity of bike paths need improvements (examples - Speedway)
700	What a nightmare! And very easy to solve--get rid of it! (Whoever thought it would be safer for pedestrians and bicycles must be an incredible salesman!)
701	Whether I travel on bike, foot, personal or public transportation, it is easy to get around. Having a local airport with international travel is also nice.
702	Whether hiking biking etc, the natural landscape is amazing...always something different, and the light is fantastic
703	While I think the region has invested in cycling, it has mostly been for experienced riders. I would like to see more investment on bicycle conditions for ALL cyclists such as urban greenways, bicycle boulevards, safe crossings etc.
704	While public transportation in rural areas is lacking, the overall ease of transportation within city limits including auto, bicycle and public commuting is appreciated. The timely manner for road construction/improvements is impressive. I-10 is awesome!
705	While some roads and paths are exceptional, most need serious maintenance and regular upkeep. I would also like to see an expansion of bike paths, which includes widening of some of the existing ones.
706	While we are very bike friendly, getting around town and especially across town by car sucks. We desperately need an east/west highway. Our current highway system is useless.
707	While working in elementary schools, I was blown away that much more than half of the parents drove their children to school. It is ridiculous and makes for a dangerous & congested parking lot. If parents could be convinced that their child could safely arrive at school on a bike, they would be much more likely to allow and trust their child to arrive by their own power. --Maybe the parents would go too! We all know about the awful health of many students. Just think how much better it could be if we could create more ways to encourage kids to be active, like telling them they can be independent and get themselves where they need/want to be on their own. It's almost as good as driving because you are totally in charge, even if you are only 8.
708	With such beautiful weather in southern Arizona, we have the luxury of being able to spend time outside no matter the time of year. Activities such as hiking, biking, running, golf, etc. Even a stroll at the park is nice in any season.
709	Within a short 15-30 min. dirve time you can get our of the city and into nature for hiking, biking, etc
710	Wonderful hiking and biking trails. Sabino Canyon, Saguaro Nat'l Monument, Rincon's and Catalina's and Santa Rita's
711	Wonderful hiking, biking, and aesthetically beautiful area. I'm an outdoor exercise lover.
712	Wonderful weather for outdoor activities, from wine & cheese in the front yard to biking and hiking.
713	Worry over water resources Like to hike, bike, etc. and want to retain a desert environment in which to do so
714	Year round swim, hike, bicycling
715	Year-round activities, even when it's 'cold' like hiking, biking
716	You can hike bide or walk almost any day of the year
