Withers St - Leonard St - Manhattan Ave

Dangerous intersection for pedestrians, when there is a green light, there is cars going south at speed on Leonard crossing withers. There should be a pedestrian walk sign and road markings. Cars should not be parked close to the intersection (so there is better visibility).

Cars have no clue how to line up for the left turn and take space efficiently. This creates a backup, and then cars on meeker are doing dangerous passes around.

Cars park to close to the intersection creating blind spots for crossing.

Please add two lanes to the exit ramp to meeker ave. There is space for this and some cars just use the median as a means of passing the other cars waiting in a queue to get off the highway. Two lanes on this off-ramp would shave off around 5 minutes when there’s heavy traffic from people’s trips and improve air quality as cars are not just sitting on a ramp pointlessly through multiple lights cycles. The only real cause for this traffic jam that occurs at this exit is that there are 3 directions that cars can go and everyone is just waiting on people turning left onto vandervoort. If an additional lane was added it would extend the dedicated turning lane to vandervoort, letting the cars that are not turning left bypass them and not clog up the ramp+ highway.

Dangerous intersection. The walk time is not long enough to cross the entire intersection at once. So you either have to run or stand under the BQE which doesn't always feel safe.

this offramp - i've gotten a ticket for speeding just as i come off this ramp. I think its a very short amount of time/distance to get from 50mph to 25, esp as youre navigating entering traffic. the dedicated lane for entry into this street maybe should be longer. ive since 'slowed down' only to be beeped at by someone behind me who was mad bc there was 'no reason' to slow down...

drivers mostly ok but there's clearly marked pedestrian striping that a meaningful percentage of drivers Completely Disregard. Ive had yelling matches with drivers here who are telling me to get out of the road while they themselves are driving through the striping i'm using. Maybe its confusing bc the corner is not a traditional perpendicular one, but i think it's that some drivers DGAF and see anything not with an engine to be a nuisance.

Vibrations from heavy truck traffic shake our building from time to time.

please add 2 lanes to this exit, there is enough room, and its split to 2 lanes close to the light, but if you bring it back and force cars to create 2 lanes further back it would save 5 minutes or more on heavy traffic times. meeker ave and vandervoort ave are both 2 lanes. would make this exit flow a lot more during heavy traffic as there are a lot of big trucks at this exit also.

Meeker Ave - Union Ave - Skillman Ave

Cars driving north turn from Union Ave to Meeker Ave at high rates of speed across crosswalk. Cars driving south on Union Ave make blind turn onto Meeker Ave across crosswalk. No curb cut for pedestrians for Union Ave at SE corner. Needs traffic calming for safety. Very dangerous.
