Failure to Yield

Cars and trucks are just rash here. Traffic calming won't not be the solution. Canal St. is also an important tourist area. So the whole street should be closed to traffic except for emergencies—like 14th St., but more pleasant and friendly for pedestrians and with protected bike lanes. Please borrow ideas from this https://youtu.be/j2dHFC31VtQ?si=DIIS_Yb0VRbVtLC1 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymcBC7MFRIk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbnBc-97Ps. Thanks!

The intersection of Greene St and Canal St lacks curb cuts on the North West corner, and South West corner. The crosswalk across Greene, parallel to Canal, should be at grade with the sidewalks. For some reason the North East corner has a South facing curb cut despite not having a painted crosswalk.

Greenwich St diverges uptown and downtown from Canal St, with a bike lane only going uptown. The Greenwich bike lane currently begins at Canal with no safe way to reach the intersection by bike. The Greenwich street bike lane should be changed to a two-way which extends up and down from Canal so bikes can safely counterflow against car traffic in both directions.

direct 2-way bike connection Manhattan Br...Hudson Greenway desirable, most readily on Canal St

The sidewalk is too narrow. Compare the ratio of people walking to cars and the space given to each. Its completely disproportionate.

The Hudson/Canal intersection should be redesigned as follows: Eliminate the right turn lane on Hudson from Hudson onto eastbound Canal. This lane is mostly unused. Now, shift the two Holland Tunnel lanes to the right into the previous turn lane. This leaves a new lane available for a left side buffered bike lane to connect to the Hudson bike lane north of Canal. One of the Hudson through lanes is often blocked by loading trucks. Make the blocked lane an official loading zone which will protect the new bike lane. At the Canal/Hudson intersection, eliminate the porkchop since it is no longer needed to shorten the crossing distance and increase pedestrian safety on the south crosswalk.

The sidewalks on Canal, especially between Lafayette and Bowery are *way* too narrow for the number of people who use them. Walker Street should be closed to car traffic for that last half-block and the remaining area should be opened to pedestrians. Additionally, lanes should be taken from cars and used to expand the sidewalks, as well as create a full crosstown bike route from river to river with fully protected bike lanes. There also isn't nearly enough tree cover. It's brutal to walk there in the summer.

Pedestrian congestion around Canal Triangle makes Walker between Baxter and Canal a prime candidate to be closed to cars and pedestrianized. Perfect place to put tables and chairs and increase usage of Canal Triangle.

Aggressive Drivers

Difficult intersection for drivers, bike riders and pedestrians alike. Heavy traffic from Holland Tunnel approach and 6th Ave. Long walk distance for pedestrians. Would remove one eastbound lane on Canal, convert lane to protected 2-way bike path and add mid-crossing pedestrian refuges
