What concerns do you have traveling on McKellips Road? Speed of other driver and the increased traffic in the recent year +. I use McKellips to enter and exit into my community, as well as College. Both are not only taking longer to exit due to heavier traffic flow, but the speed of the other vehicles makes it concerning when I am approaching the turn in to my community.
Do you support the proposed improvements? Not sure
Why or why not? I have my concerns about the change to single lanes east bound due to the increased amount of traffic. I find it odd the Tempe waited until there is such an increase of usage in this roadway to now make these changes. I've lived here since 1980.
Do you have any additional comments related to this project? What is the duration of these changes? What will the alternative route be if there is overlap with the round-about project?

Do you support the proposed Heat Safety Ordinance? Yes
Why or why not? Record breaking heat has become a common occurrence. It is important to provide workers protection so they can come home safely.
Do you have additional comments about the proposed ordinance? The education and whistleblower protections are so very important! I’m glad they were not overlooked! I hope one day this ordinance will cover even more people, including unhoused neighbors access to cooling stations and more hydration options in the city.

What concerns do you have traveling on McKellips Road? N/A
Do you support the proposed improvements? Yes
Why or why not? I travel often down College often by vehicle and walk down McKellips to cross into Evelyn Hallman Park area. Since safety is my top priority, I support the improvements because roundabouts have shown to significantly reduce the number of injury and fatal crashes compared to signalized intersections, especially when referring to pedestrian safety. The slower vehicle speeds in a roundabout also increase the likelihood of a pedestrian surviving if a collision occurs. On the environmental aspect, continuous flow of traffic in a roundabout, with less stopping and idling, can lead to lower vehicle emissions and fuel consumption compared to the stop-and-go nature of traffic lights. When it comes to these infrastructure projects, I feel our city needs to shift focus on energy consumption and maintenance costs: Roundabouts do not require electricity to operate, unlike traffic signals, leading to energy savings. Roundabouts generally have lower long-term maintenance costs compared to traffic signals, as there are no signal equipment, bulbs, or timing mechanisms to maintain.
Do you have any additional comments related to this project? Additionally, I'd also like to provide some considerations, especially for pedestrian traffic near a park. Before the planning of these improvements are finalized, consider well-defined crosswalks near the roundabout. I've also seen other cities that have roundabouts implement a pedestrian refuge island. I think providing splitter islands on the approaches can offer pedestrians a safe place to pause and cross one direction of traffic at a time. I'm really excited about this project and appreciate the city focusing on making things safer and smoother for everyone, while also being mindful of the environment!

Do you support the proposed Heat Safety Ordinance? Yes
Why or why not? As heat rises both in terms of high temps and frequency, it is imperative that those who work outside are taken care of. Heat needs to be recognized as a work place hazard.
