This entire area should have more public toilets that are nice and clean. Please, and thank you.

This entire area needs to be shut down to traffic at all times—except emergency vehicles—and turned into a green pedestrian plaza with protected bike lanes. The increasing volume of car traffic in the area is unsustainable, creating untenable challenges to pedestrian and bicyclist safety. It also disturbs the peace and quiet. Moreover, you need to strictly enforce the 6,000-pound weight limit on the Brooklyn Bridge and add a protected bike lane to the eastbound side of the bridge, switching one lane from heavy truck traffic to light bike traffic.

Cars on Gold Street (open to two-way traffic) are forced to abruptly stop at a dead end at John Street. Signs indicate a left on John (one way), but cars are forced to make an awkward, dangerous, and illegal U-turn because of ConEdison's seemingly permanent closure on John Street. ConEdison should reopen John Street.

This stretch of John Street, between Bridge and Gold, has been entirely overtaken over by ConEdison. Pedestrians, Cyclists, and through traffic do not have access. ConEdison uses what should be public sidewalk here for their trailers and equipment storage. They use this road for employee parking. ConEdison needs to relocate their equipment, remove the fencing, and reopen this stretch.

There needs to be a second entrance / exit to the York Street station of the F train. See other comments about the unsafe overcrowding that exists in the one small and ONLY entrance to this very busy station. Second subway entrance can be located in the small (underutilized ) park located along Jay street by the Manhattan Bridge pedestrian path entrance .

The subway entrance at York street is insufficient to handle the volume of people - many of whom are tourists. Thought needs to be give for people who actually live here and pay taxes. There are only three turnstiles and one exit door for the only entrance to the only subway station in this neighborhood which has experienced a boom in residential growth and daily tourist population. It is UNSAFE It is dangerous, the platform is narrow and often much too full of people to be safe. Often the exit is blocked and people can barely get in and out of the station. It seems often the majority of people are tourists and they are unfamiliar with turnstiles - slowing things down, huge bottleneck jams. Now the station has hired security guards to stop people from fare beating & using the exit door to enter without paying, but that means exiting the station is even more difficult as throngs of people try to use the three turnstiles to enter and exit simultaneously. We need a second subway entrance to access the other end of platform.
