Coney Island Ave - Turner Pl - Hinckley Pl
Trucks can get up to 60mph here if they hit a few lights right. Narrowing this road and replacing parking with protected bike lanes would help save lives.

Trucks often try to skip the slow lights at Church and Coney Island Avenues by navigating up 8th street. It’s difficult for them to turn back onto Church, so they often end up blocking traffic on 8th street.

Caton Ave - East 3 St - East 4 St
The volume and speed of trucks on this road, through a residential neighborhood with many children and multiple schools, make this a tragedy waiting to happen at worst, and an environmental hazard due to the noise and pollution even if the worst-case scenarios don't come to pass.

Greenpoint Ave - Manhattan Ave - Brooklyn
As a cyclist, I find it extremely dangerous to use the bike lane between mcguinness boulevard and Manhattan avenue. The constant flow of trucks up and down the street inhibits bikers from safely riding. The bike lane inexplicably disappears on Greenpoint Ave. between McGuinness and Manhattan, dangerously disrupting my commute. Something must be done!

Greenpoint Ave - Manhattan Ave - Brooklyn
This truck route brings noisy, polluting, and dangerous trucks right into the heart of a busy and densely populated residential neighborhood. Living on Greenpoint Avenue, I have experienced this route drastically decrease my quality of daily life. The DOT must find an alternative to the current situation which threatens the peace and health of the denizens of Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
