This is just the worst street in all of New York City. It took 3 hours from exiting the Manhattan Bridge to enter the highway. In what world should parked cars be allowed on this road. Bikes don't even mess with this street, even if it is a great cross-town option. Just an utter nightmare for all involved.
Missing crosswalk and sidewalk on west side of Varick between Laight and Canal
Protected bike lane please
Please add a bicycle lane here to safely get from Canal St onto the bicycle lane to the Manhattan bridge.
As a pedestrian trying to cross canal, I am always having close calls with cars running reds. A lot of the time cars and trucks are waived through on red lights by traffic enforcement cops who don't even care or look at the pedestrians who have walk signals.
The crossings around Albert Capsouto Park are very difficult to make, and if they were easier, it would be a lot easier to enjoy passing through the park more!
The cobblestones on Greenwich St south of Canal St are rough to bike over. Adding a bike lane strip would be greatly appreciated!
Physically separating the southbound lane of Chrystie St and the bridge exit ramp would eliminate illegal left turns from the bridge onto Canal St, and reduce vehicle traffic at the crosswalks for the triangular plaza at Bowery. Entirely closing the southbound lane on Chrystie between Hester and Canal would create more room for a better-flowing and more inviting pedestrian thoroughfare.
Dangerous, fast driving.
Canal Street sidewalk should be twice as wide, easily, between 6th Ave and Bowery
