Please install a green 2-stage bike turn box at Foothill and 14th Ave ahead of the crosswalk in the location shown here, so bike riders can safely and legally turn from the bikeway on NE-bound 14th Ave onto the bikeway on NW-bound Foothill.

I received a rejection letter from city staff on this issue stating "We reviewed your request and, based on objective criteria derived from safety records and census data, it does not warrant a detailed investigation compared to other requests."
However, I submitted this issue because I know the city will be repaving Foothill just east of here very soon, and re-striping it with bike lanes, and adding a turn box at Foothill/14th Ave would be a relatively inexpensive but useful addition to the striping plan. I encourage city staff to consider this as part of the planned paving project, as opposed to a standalone ask.
