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.
Trucks are double parked and cause roads to be completely blocked. This results in cars unable to pass and consistent honking
Trucks turning left on Kingsland Avenue on to Maspeth Avenue are unable to make this turn. They should be redirected to avoid Kingsland/Maspeth and stay on Morgan Avenue.
Large rig semi trucks constantly speeding down Maspeth Ave between Kingsland and Morgan Avenues. Dangerous for the children visiting the park and at Carrig Montessori. Also a ridiculous amount of noise created from trucks hitting the speed bumps.
A massive US Foods semi truck going way too close to the sidewalk collided with the large tree here, knocking it over onto the street. The falling tree could easily have killed someone, and now the tree itself is dead and there is just a stump there.
Trucks and buses CONSTANTLY parked inside the new concrete barrier separated bicycle lane. Please install flex post at the entrances to these citywide!
Failure to yield to peds.
Trucks fail to yield to pedestrians here when turning right (east) off north bound Bruckner.
