Difficult Turn/Crossing

03/07/2022 - 23:13

Canal St - Manhattan Br Approach - Bowery

The car crossings here are daunting, as a pedestrian--too wide! Drivers go too fast and it makes it less pleasant to walk

Blocking the Box

03/07/2022 - 23:11

Grand St - Chrystie St - Forsyth St

Drivers block the box constantly here, making it very challenging to bike or walk through--this is especially a problem because this is the main northbound bike route heading to Greenwich Village etc. It makes the lane along Sara Roosevelt Park much less useful.

Bike Lane Requested

Canal St - Baxter St - Centre St

The entirety of Canal Street between bridge and tunnel should be sunk and decked over, converting it into a pedestrian/bike linear plaza, with a path for buses and emergency vehicles only. Canal Street has been a dangerous street my entire life, and I've never seen it worse than lately.

Bike Lane Requested

Canal St - Bowery - Elizabeth St

A protected bike lane on Canal St would add a key east-west connection to Lower Manhattan and provide an important, direct connection into the popular Manhattan Bridge bike path. Canal St, as a major thoroughfare, sees lots of pedestrian traffic that would also benefit from the traffic calming that a protected bike lane on Canal Street would bring.
