Canal St - Eldridge St - Manhattan Bridge Bike Path

There is a lot of double parking, vehicle traffic, and bike lane conflicts in this area due to the numerous intercity bus companies with arrivals and departures here. This multiblock area of Canal and Allen Streets is essentially an informal bus terminal, which is not a problem in-and-of-itself in that this is an important niche of the travel market and this neighborhood a well-established gateway. The problem is that there is little formal infrastructure appropriately recognizing, supporting, and coordinating this unique traffic environment. The conflicts are not just the large charter busses themselves, but many passengers getting dropped off or picked up by idling private cars, with the adjacent fire station and the large amount of commercial vehicles from nearby local-distribution centers all competing. Beyond impacting traffic, I would imagine the amount of inefficient diesel bus and car idling in this area significantly impacts air quality for residents in the immediate area. DOT should study and test ways to better facilitate these uses--for the benefit of the buses, passengers, and neighbors.

Broadway - Canal St - Manhattan

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.

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!

Manhattan Br Approach - Chrystie St - Manhattan Bridge

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.
