A new city report proposing more ways to get people biking in Naperville has been released at the same time another group’s findings deem the city among the unsafest in Illinois for bicyclists.
Early this year, members of the Naperville Transportation Advisory Board, Environment and Sustainability Task Force and city staff created a pedestrian and bicycle survey to better understand how people bike and walk in the city and to determine residents’ needs and priorities.About 1,425 residents answered the questionnaire, which found 91% walk and 67% ride bikes when not using their car for transportation.
Survey respondents also asked for additional on-road bike lanes and improved amenities, including better lighting, call boxes and water stations. Some called for better trail connectivity throughout the city and with other municipalities. “Thinking as an individual, I believe Naperville is pretty darn good and we’re always looking for ways to improve,” Monge said. “But relatively speaking, Naperville is pretty impressive.”
Survey respondents who don’t like walking or biking in Naperville said they’re deterred by distracted and reckless drivers, cyclists and pedestrians and by unsafe intersections and crossings. They also cite vehicular speed, road and trail traffic, insufficient paved trail availabliity, and conflicts between walkers and bikers.
