Signage Problems
Signage Problems
Rodney St - Ainslie St - Metropolitan Ave

Signage regarding No left turn from northbound Rodney onto Metropolitan is inadequate and confusing. One sign indicates Metropolitan Ave West and East, other signs say no Left Turn. There should be arrow greens indicating straight and right turn only and signage indicating for west bound Metropolitan need to go to Union. Same issue on southbound side.

Manhattan Ave - Skillman Ave - Jackson St

Stretch of Manhattan Ave between Metropolitan and Meeker is a speedway for drivers avoiding the lights on Graham Avenue and driving at high speeds downhill thinking they will make the green at Meeker. An additional traffic light at Skillman and Manhattan would slow them down and would make it safer for children going to the Settlement House programs on that corner.

Ten Eyck Walk - Manhattan Ave - Graham Ave

Ten Eyck St and Stagg St should have crosswalks across Manhattan Av, Graham Av, and Humbolt St (for a total of six crosswalks). And where there's no sewer grates, you can do sidewalk extensions too to make it a shorter distance to cross, and so drivers and pedestrians can see eachother.

Bogart St - Seigel St - Harrison Pl

Right in front of the station, the two parking spots in the T-intersection should be replaced by bike racks in the street. You can also add a crosswalk too.

Metropolitan Ave - Gardner Ave - Scott Ave

Grand Street and Metropolitan are the two streets that allow travel from North Brooklyn eastward to Queens, but both are very dangerous for bikes, with high speed truck traffic. One of those two streets should be made usable for bicyclists.

Metropolitan Ave - North 5 St - Marcy Ave

The light for pedestrians crossing Metropolitan takes far too long to arrive, and cars making left turns don't respect the pedestrians crossing Marcy.

This bridge is a pretty critical missing connection for bikes between Williamsburg and Ridgewood

Franklin St - Green St - Freeman St

this section on Franklin is really a missing link in the BWG, making it dangerous for novice cyclists to get betweeen Kent Ave and the Pulaski Bridge
