When the parents drop their children this area becomes clogged with double parked cars. Can this street be turned into a one way street?

The current Cohancy Street exit from the westbound Belt Parkway poses significant safety risks due to its poor sight lines and short merge zone onto North Conduit Avenue. Drivers have limited visibility of oncoming traffic, creating dangerous conditions—particularly during peak hours or in bad weather. To improve safety and traffic flow, the NYC DOT should consider realigning the exit to create a more perpendicular angle with North Conduit, enhancing drivers’ line of sight. Additionally, extending the merge lane to approximately 125–150 feet—similar to the well-designed Sunrise Highway exit—would allow drivers more time to accelerate and merge smoothly into traffic, reducing sudden lane changes and collisions. Incorporating clearer signage and advance merge alerts would further enhance safety, particularly for local residents and emergency response vehicles. These changes would not only reduce the risk of crashes but also align with the city’s broader Vision Zero goals and improve a key egress route for nearby neighborhoods.
Crossing the street here is scary. Many cars drive very fast to try to make the left turn onto Atlantic (going east) and especially if you are crossing from the north east corner of Atlantic and Logan it's very hard to see them. My kid is old enough to go to City Line Park on his own but I hesitate to let him because of this intersection
This part of the intersection is very unsafe for pedestrians, because the triangle doesn't extend all the way up to Jamaica Avenue. And for anyone walking up for Force Tube Avenue towards the park, you must walk on the West side of the street, especially for kids, because the sidewalk on the east side of the street is usually full of cars that are parked at the auto body shop / gas station. My kid is old enough that he wants to be able to walk to the park on his own, but this along with a few other intersections makes that feel really unsafe. For example if he were walking up this block of Force Tube Avenue, he can't be on the east side of the street because of all the cars going in and out of the gas station, and he can't be on the west side of the street because then he'll end up in this spot where the sidewalk runs out before he is in a safe spot to cross.
There should be a cross walk here. Cars move very fast coming down the hill from Highland Blvd, and crossing at Jamaica Ave isn't a good option either because it's such a hectic intersection and the sidewalk that's part of the Triangle doesn't fully extend up to Jamaica Avenue, so people crossing there, especially children, are very vulnerable. Coming out of the park, people should be able to continue down Highland Place to this intersection at Etna, and safely cross here to get over to Force Tube Ave
There should be a stop sign and cross walk here. There are curb cuts as if there should be a cross walk, but there are none. Cars drive very fast on this stretch, and they can't see people well when they're crossing from the left This is one of the intersections that makes me hesitant to let my kid walk to the park on his own, though he is mature enough to otherwise
This intersection is very unsafe for pedestrians. When you are on Norwood Ave crossing Force Tube Avenue, below Ridgewood Avenue, cars take the turn very fast, and if you are facing south, the cars coming are completely out of you field of vision. My kid is old enough to walk to school on his own, but I hesitate to let him because of this intersection. There should be some turn calming here.
add a bike lane or a bikeway along the whole corridor
