I am a avid bike rider and although I ride all over Orange County I start and end all of my rides from my house in Placentia. I am growing increasingly concerned that the city of Placentia is considering the safety of bicyclists as much as it could be. Over the last few years I have watched several bike lanes go away on some of the busiest streets like Bastenchury, and Kraemer just to mention a few. This is disturbing because the cars seem to have even less concern for the rights or safety of a bike rider when there is no bike lane. Now my concern grows even more with the addition of the 3 new underpasses on Placentis, Bradford, and Kraemer where none of these have bike lanes, it is now becoming increasingly unsafe in riding along these busy roads where the cars buzz by at top speed at only inches away from riders.
I would like to see Placentia become more bike friendly in general and do the right thing by adding these bike lanes back to our streets for greater safety
Thanks

Traffic on Brookhaven Ave is just way too fast and police officers do not have the time to sit and ticket every individual driver. The "dip" on Brookhaven Ave has slowed traffic down but people still speed up right before the dip. We need speed bumps to slow it down before a dog/cat or child is hurt.

We urgently need for a 4-WAY STOP SIGN on this intersection. Please give this issue HIGH priority, is a hazard with great potential for an accident to happen any minute! With Lakeview closed til 2016, traffic is many times greater on Orchard-DETOUR. Orchard has STOPS and people assume the opposite traffic on Highland have it too, then quickly stop and go, not aware cars are coming at a high speed. Cars coming from North to South come downhill WAY TOO FAST for not having a stop, are a real danger to cars/pedestrians. We reside on the 100 block of Highland Ave and park across the street; we need to cross the street safely without cars passing by at a high speed. Many times we have almost been hit when crossing; we even have had several cars lose control, ending up in our front yard almost destroying the property (record on City files). By adding stops on Highland, cars will be obligated to stop and reduce speed, being able to yield to pedestrians. Thank you!

I would like to see Bradford Ave completely repaved between Yorba Linda and Madison. The intersection of Bradford and Doverfield is especially horrendous! Major potholes, pits, ruts!

This section of road way is in desperate need of repaving. There are major cracks, ruts, and potholes!
