Narrow sidewalk, please widen
bike lane on canal would be bomb dot com.
Today, this area experiences a lot of gridlock and blocking the box, which leads to a negative experience for all road users. With the CBD tolling program, congestion should decrease and some travel lane road space will become available to upgrade the corridor with new medians, wider sidewalks, and bulb outs. This can improve safety for everyone on the street.
We need safe bike infrastructure and we need it ASAP. The current timeline is a joke. DOT should use the tools it has available to make safe situations NOW. There is blood on your hands from your embarrassingly slow schedule- how many more need to die or be maimed in the next 2 years for you to actually DO SOMETHING. 2 YEARS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
The left turn from (AOA) 6th Ave to Watts, requires SIGNAGE to advise drivers turning (left or right) on a RED light, is forbidden in NYC. This is apparently *news* to a massive numbers of drivers and bike riders (all types).
Major built in conflict point for pedestrians and cyclists when cyclists leaving bridge continue eastbound on Canal.
Way too much space for drivers here leading to erratic and speedy behavior. Drivers fail to yield to pedestrians and cyclists.
Worth is an important bike connector between Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges to downtown.
RAMPANT placard abuse blocking bike lanes in both directions and critical north south routes. Placards do not allow users to park illegally, but the city does nothing to prevent this. Allowing this behavior also sends a message to private citizens that this behavior is OK.
Warren is a crucial connection to the Brooklyn Bridge and routes north or to the Williamsburg or Manhattan Bridges. There is an authorized bike route through the park, but it's not clear enough to pedestrians that this is shared space so they think cyclists are breaking the law and get angered, while cyclists get mad because pedestrians don't make way.
