Provide residential permit parking on side streets.
Implement residential permit parking program. Please do not eliminate parking on side streets - a lot of families who depend on car travel in this neighborhood.
Majority of the year there is an ice cream truck or other private vendor occupying the bike lane. This forces northbound bike traffic to swerve into traffic in a very dangerous part of CPW
Myself my toddler and my elderly parents all live on the upper west side. The streets are not designed for our safety when crossing. There is no daylighting. Drivers race around turns nearly killing us, they rarely yield while we are crossing with the green. It’s 2023 and the state of our streets is from decades ago. Keep up with the times: get rid of free street parking, extend curbs to force vehicles to slow on turns, daylight intersections, more protected bike lanes, lower speed limits. This is a pedestrian heavy neighborhood with many children and elderly. Protect us.
there are ice cream trucks that park in the bike lane all spring summer and fall. they bring pedestrians into the bike lane. bikes have to squeeze between pedestrians or ride into car traffic. it is a very dangerous situation and the police do nothing about it. the ice cream trucks sit there all day every day at major intersections up all of central park west. can someone please get the ice cream trucks out of the bike lanes and cross walks in the entire neighborhood.
Street cleaning is becoming inefficient and less effective because cars don't leave the block on alternate side of the street parking days. A bad practice has taken hold where people stay parked in their cars and try to pull out when the street cleaner comes. That results in traffic, dirtier streets, slow progress for the street cleaner and sometimes the street cleaner is forced to skip areas entirely. The streets need to be cleared for cleaning and enforcement needs to include summonses.
Broadway northbound between 73rd and 79th Street is basically unused by cars, it should become a new linear park with a bike lane.
Narrow sidewalks are often so packed with garbage bags that they're often impassable.
CPW currently has no loading zones and so much double parking that it's narrowed to one southbound lane in many places. We need at least two short-term loading zones per block (not just this block) during the day. (I am using the form because the drag-and-drop on the map wasn't working.)
Garbage from Shake Shack is frequently placed in the sidewalk. The sidewalk is very narrow here. Pedestrians are required to navigate over/around garbage, which creates an unsanitary and inaccessible environment.
