Metropolitan Ave - Rodney St - Union Ave

the N/S of Metropolitan Ave is 'no standing' in the morning but should be 'no standing' all day. There needs to be 2 lanes for moving traffic at all peak times.

Kent Ave - North 5 St - North 4 Pl

There is a need for traffic lights on north 4th and Kent avenue. Four major apt complexes with over thousand units and their deliveries are using this crossing!

Bushwick Ave - Grand St - Maujer St

There is no catch basin here so when it rains puddling makes the southern and eastern crosswalks very very dangerous. DDC/DEP need to install a catch basin or other mitigation measure here ASAP

Franklin St - Calyer St - Franklin St

Franklin St. and Manhattan Ave. are too narrow for shared bike lanes. It's harrowing for everyone. Too much truck and bus traffic. Make West and Leonard the bike lanes. Leave Franklin and Manhattan for buses and local deliveries (NOT endorsing double parking)

Skillman Ave - Meeker Ave - Lorimer St

There is no crosswalk here and vehicles drive up Meeker at a high speed and take this right turn as pedestrians try to cross Skillman. Also, the view for cars making the right turn is blocked by vehicles parked on the corner of Meeker and Skillman in front of Union Pool

I have barely missed being struck several times.

Jackson St - Graham Ave - Humboldt St

Cars park to the edge of the corner on the East side of Graham. Drivers coming out of Jackson need to move very far into Graham to be able to see if they can turn, cross. There have been several accidents at this intersection.

Jj Byrne Memorial Bridge - Kingsland Ave - Qn-kings Cnty Boundary

On the Queens side of the bridge, an insulation warehouse consistently uses the bike lane and bus stop for a loading area, causing congestion that extends into the study area.

Wythe Ave - North 12 St - North 11 St

Wythe Avenue is the only one of four major North/South streets that is one way southbound with three northbound. On Friday and Saturday nights with the proliferation of clubs, hotels, bars and music venues on Wythe it is impossible for traffic and particularly emergency vehicles to get from Greenpoint toward south Williamsburg. Either Kent should be returned to two way or one of the other two streets, Berry or Bedford should be reversed.

Greenpoint Ave - Franklin St - Manhattan Ave

Large trucks continue to use this increasingly residential street as a connecting corridor, and the slope of the street seems to encourage trucks to speed here.
