Although Caton Ave is a Truck Route, St. Paul's to Coney Island Ave is residential block and more should be done to move the truck lane elsewhere to protect lung health of the local community. The smoggy smell on Caton Avenue is oppressive from the idling of trucks at red lights.

Because vehicles can no longer turn right from southbound Flatbush onto westbound Schermerhorn, trucks make a right turn earlier from SB Flatbush onto narrow Nevins Street. Then, they have trouble turning right onto Schermerhorn two blocks further down Nevins. Traffic is always backed up on Nevins because a change in the traffic pattern removed the ability to turn right from SB Flatbush onto WB Schermerhorn. New housing and hotel developments are drawing more traffic to Schermerhorn. DOT should reconsider restoring the ability to turn right onto Schermerhorn from SB Flatbush.

Narrow Roadway

12/21/2017 - 15:48

Taxis wait in the "No Standing" zone and so trucks cannot make it through this narrow street.

Trucks and city buses in this area create way too much pollution f or the surrounding pedestrians such as myself. It appears that diesel trucks have to be banned from these areas in order to reduce the Environmental damage and terrible air quality. I don't even want to breathe in this area when I walk around it. Either trucks have to be switched to alternative fuels or they have to be banned. City buses are also major disturbance to air quality

Very heavy truck traffic despite not truck sign. MOst trucks are not delivering locally just inflow from waterfront businesses. More needs to be done to enable and enforce the use of designated truck rotes.

There used to be a tree here, until an 18 wheeler took out the tree trying to make a turn onto Kent Ave. 18 wheelers have no place on our local, residential, mixed use streets. The truck that took out this tree blocked the entirety of Kent Ave preventing pedestrians, cyclists, buses and more from getting through. Kent & Franklin should not be a truck route for drivers looking to get around traffic on the BQE!

Narrow Roadway

09/20/2017 - 12:55

Franklin Street is no place for trucks! It's insane that this is a truck route. Franklin is a vibrant street with heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Trucks of all sorts create deadly conflicts here. Space on this street needs to be reallocated to put people first. Another person shouldn't have to die for these changes to be made.

There are many times that 18 wheeler big rig trucks are blatantly parked in the "protected" bike lane on Kent Ave while doing deliveries.

18 wheeler big rig trucks constantly take illegal non-truck routes to get to Kent Ave. When they try and turn onto Kent, they typically get stuck as they are unable to make the turn. A lot of times trucks will block the entire width of Kent Av preventing buses, pedestrians, cyclists, emergency services and motorists from getting through at all.

I live on Purves Street. Because of the construction, there are constantly trucks and construction worker cars parked on Purves even though there are no parking signs. There are also UPS, FreshDirect, USPS, etc. It is also a dead end street. The street is narrow, so if any cars park the cars and trucks have to maneuver slowly through. The cars and trucks frequently have to make difficult three point turns at the dead end. There is a residential garage at the end of Purves and it is also frequently blocked. There's sometimes no way for the trucks to go, so sometimes that either (1) block up Jackson Avenue idling or (2) drive up on the Purves sidewalk. There are ALOT more residents these days are Purves.

Difficult Truck Turn

06/12/2017 - 16:51

Large trucks are frequently unable to make the right from Thomson Avenue onto Jackson Avenue because vehicles are parked in front of the businesses on Jackson Avenue. When it is exceptionally large trucks, they have to keeping back up and back in to try to squeeze by. This blocks up traffic on Jackson and Thomson and may cause damage to people's cars.
