The number of food vendors around the museum on CPW has been increasing lately. This week there were no fewer than 3 Nathans Hot Dog carts within sight of each other. The vendors routinely park their carts in such a way that it bottlenecks pedestrian traffic and leaves the center of the sidewalk dirty after they leave.
The UWS has long been the bastion of the middle class. Many of those residents own cars to commute to their jobs outside of Manhattan. Doing away with street parking will hurt these residents. Adding bike lanes is not the answer . Overseeing and improving the existing lanes will alleviate much of the bike lane issues. We lost 435 parking spaces on CPW with the northbound bike lane . This bike lane has created a hazard for pedestrians, increased double parking /drop off/traffic flow issues , and the need for those original 435 spaces remains, causing those cars to circle longer looking for a space. Idling longer at every delayed light. Doing the exact opposite of environmentally friendly. Manage the bike lanes better, implement regulations for cyclists on city streets, remove the restaurant sheds, and CONTROL THE RATS! The rats are a bigger issue in this neighborhood than anything else. !
Double parking for school pickup each afternoon creates hazards for cars turning right onto 79th from Amsterdam
Bikes for deli chained around tree bed.
2-3 delivery mopeds consistently parked on sidewalk next to bus stop
again, this is a problme all over manhattan. Buses too often blocked from, or unwilling to pull up to the curb making it harder for those with diminished walking and stepping up and down capabilities to enter and leave the bus
Bikes ignoring red lights. Motorized bikes and scooters using the bike lanes, etc. etc. this is not a good form. Problems with bikes are on all streets, so identifying a particular street is not terribly relevant And I don't understand limiting it to the one area as the problem exists all over the city
in the summer an ice cream truck parks here all day running its motor and blocking the crosswalk. no matter how many times this is reported, nothing is done and the ice cream truck parks with impunity and idles with impunity all spring summer and fall long.
the corner of west 77th and CPW needs seriously daylighting AND something to force drivers to slow down when turning from CPW onto west 77th street to continue west. cars cannot see and do not look before entering the intersection and it is heavily trafficked by pedestrians.
there is construction at the NY Historical Society and the east half of west 76th b/w Columbus and CPW is one lane with no parking. we need Bollards or a jersey barrier or something on the south side of the street to keep cars and trucks from parking on the sidewalk.
