Taxis are always blocking sidewalk
This tangle of slip lanes is horrific, and a pedestrian on the NE corner of Humboldt and Maspeth still has no way to cross either street.
Mark the unmarked crosswalk.
Unmarked crosswalk is 70' long
Shallow uncontrolled turn and unmarked crosswalk combine to encourage speeding and failure to yield to pedestrians attempting the 70' crossing. Build out the sidewalk to regularize the intersection and narrow crossing and stripe crosswalks.
Shallow slip lane controlled only by yield sign encourages dangerously fast merge onto Franklin.
Build out sidewalk to square off intersection, reducing crossing distance, and put in the missing two crosswalks.
The first blocks of Baker and N 15th St just west of Nassau are redundant. One of them should be pedestrianized.
There are no crosswalks on Berry/Nassau from N 12th St to St Lorimer 1400' later.
N 14th St doesn't need to be two-way. West-bound traffic can use 13th or 15th. Make 14th one-way heading east and upgrade the sharrows to a real bike lane.
