FINDINGS
•
Respondents revealed several areas with concentrations of barriers including:
o
The intersection of Dunne Ave. and Hwy 101
o
Main Ave. and Hwy 101
o
Monterey Rd. in Downtown
o
Along Tennant Ave. and Edmundson Ave.
o
Along Hill Rd.
•
Thirty-eight percent of respondents marked that wide streets were a part of the obstacle of
access, while one of the top responses within the “other” category was that roads were too
narrow to feel safe bicycling to their destination.
•
Parking does not seem to be the dominant concern when accessing bikeways, trails, and parks
within Morgan Hill. Few people (one respondent) indicted that a lack of adequate parking is a
barrier.
APPLICATION OF FINDINGS
•
Streetscape improvements that address the width of streets, speed of vehicle traffic on
streets, and lack of bicycle infrastructure will be important to improving access to Downtown,
parks, open spaces, facilities and trails in Morgan Hill.
