Crossing Skyline is a challenge for Lake Merced users who take public transportation, coming from Pomeroy. The path gets very dark near the Sunset Circle parking lot going south. No detailed bike path on portions of LM Blvd.

Gap in pedestrian crossings b/w Skyline and Middlefield and Font and Higuera. Northbound cars speed turning right onto Font from LM Blvd. LM Blvd. and Sunset is a dead end for bikers trying to get to the Outer Sunset.

Missing a crosswalk at Middlefield and also Higuera. Fix the Sunset/Lake Merced intersection by deleting the slip lane and squaring it off. Reinstate the 57 Muni bus.

South part of the crosswalk at Winston is closed. High speed traffic on the lake path b/w Everglade and Clearfield. No transit service on LM Blvd. b/w Font and Brotherhood Way.

The pedestrian refuge islands at Font and LM Blvd. don't feel like islands. Cars making right turns onto Middlefield Dr. do not come to a full stop at the red light. No detailed bike signs on portions of LM Blvd.

No sidewalk on east side of LM Blvd. b/w Vidal Dr. and Brotherhood. Waiting for the bus on the north side of Winston at Lake Merced feels unsafe. No curve warning signage on LM Blvd. b/w Winston and lower Sunset area.

No crossings b/w Font and Higuera.

Lighting needed along LM Blvd. Slip lane at Winston crossing is unsafe. Missing sign for Broderick Terry Duel site.
