Walk way should be added across Seaview ave. Cars speed in both directions without stoping for pedestrians. Children and elderly are at risk

Vehicle Parked in Bus Stop

12/03/2018 - 12:42

Every other day, people drive into the bus stop to either pick people up or drop someone off when there's room to park in front of the stop. This especially causes an issue when it's done as a bus is close by.

Last week, yet another incident at this intersection. It looked like the speeding car's driver might've been some reckless kid or criminal trying to make a getaway, and they hit a car parked on the side of the street; maybe almost hit one or two people too. Then the driver sped off down Avenue K. Some people outside saw what happened but no one called the cops. This intersection is a block away from a school bustling with young kids and it has a ridiculous amount of speeding accidents weeks and months apart.

Crash occurred between two drivers this late afternoon right in the intersection who both seemed to be turning. I swear the traffic light facing E 80 st here makes turning and when vehicles can go or not confusing as hell.

This morning my mother and I saw a motorcyclist zoom down Ave K here and go right through a Stop sign. Luckily there were no kids outside crossing.

Area of Opportunity

07/09/2018 - 09:32

With only one subway line and the out-of-control buses, Canarsie needs a ferry service. Another way to travel to Far Rockaway and Manhattan's Financial District without having to take multiple buses.

Narrow Sidewalk

07/08/2018 - 21:22

The overgrown greenery with the narrow sidewalk makes it difficult to walk along here.

Weaving Vehicles

07/08/2018 - 21:15

Whenever there's double parking

Vehicle Parked in Bus Stop

07/08/2018 - 21:12

Sometime cars park in this bus stop, causing buses to stop behind them and partially block Flatlands.

Double Parking

Double parking in the bus stop

Long Distance to Cross

06/25/2018 - 15:28

Trying to cross Ralph Ave and Flatlands with all those cars, buses, and trucks going and turning is really dangerous, especially with the short green lights not giving people enough time to cross.

Another incident

06/22/2018 - 08:03

Some drivers go up and down E 80 so fast you'd miss them if you blink. Some even go through the red light.

On Monday, yet another incident

Signage Problems

05/29/2018 - 12:07

Often have to tell cab drivers that Paerdegat 4th St leads into Avenue K

Vehicle Parked in Bus Stop

05/29/2018 - 12:04

Cars tend to park here sometimes

Lane Marking Problems

05/29/2018 - 12:02

Cars sometimes need to turn onto Paerdegat Ave N from Paerdegat 1st St, and there's no lane markings for a straight or right turn here.

Signage Problems

05/29/2018 - 11:38

Many cab drivers do not see the sign giving them the OK to make a right turn here from Flatlands.

Long Distance to Cross

05/21/2018 - 14:57

The traffic lights around here don't have a countdown clock, even those all the way up on Flatlands Ave, so before anyone knows it, the light's turning red, and they have to either dash to the other side of the street or wait because they don't want to risk it and get run over.

Sidewalk Blocked / Damaged

05/15/2018 - 15:57

Large tree roots have made the sidewalk here an uneven mess. Walking through here feels like a workout and an obstacle course.

Speeding

05/10/2018 - 08:03

An accident occurred here that required police presence and caused one/two streets to be closed off.

Not Enough Time to Cross

05/09/2018 - 15:39

One side of the traffic light stays green over a minute longer than the other side.

Multiple Buses Arrive Together

05/09/2018 - 15:37

Sometimes four B103 buses arrive to this stop back-to-back, and some drivers don't bother to stop even though there's room on their bus and they clearly see pedestrians trying to signal them.

Speeding

05/09/2018 - 15:31

I hear a lot of car tires screeching like drivers think it's the Fast and the Furious.

Long Wait to Cross

05/09/2018 - 15:30

The signal facing E 84th street stays green for only what feels like 10 seconds before turning red again, while the light facing Flatlands stays green for between one or two minutes. This makes a great deal of difference between arriving to school/work on time or late.

Aggressive Drivers

05/09/2018 - 15:22

On the 13th last month, there was a car accident at this intersection as one driver was turning. One of the victims was taken away in an ambulance. The people living in this area also hear a lot of cars screeching and speeding.

Bike Lane Requested

10/30/2017 - 10:51

Build protected bike lane on E 102nd St to connect Shore Pkwy to Seaview

No Nearby Bike Route

10/30/2017 - 10:50

Canarsie needs safe, protected bike infrastructure.

Add Bus Service

10/17/2017 - 19:14

Not bus service. Rebuild the Bay Ridge Line and open the Triboro Rx with a stop at Ralph Avenue. Canarsie is really underserved, and this would allow for reduced travel times and increased connections to Queens, the Bronx, and South Brooklyn.

Long Distance to Cross

10/17/2017 - 19:11

I can't imagine how people cross here! It is extremely dangerous and it needs a crosswalk and a long curb extension!

Add Bus Service

12/15/2016 - 10:52

Need bus stop!
