Saint Johns Place between Rogers and Brooklyn is a small, residential street. Semi trucks, dump trucks and other heavy, enormous trucks use our street illegally because they are prohibited from using Eastern Parkway and they don't want to go down to Atlantic like they are supposed to. Saint Johns Place is constantly being damaged by these trucks being over weight and last year, an enormous semi truck was over height restrictions and took out a beloved tree on Saint Johns Place. These trucks damage our roads, pollute our air and create havoc with the B45 and passenger cars. Saint Johns Place is NOT a designated truck route. It is a narrow, residential street. DOT must take action to keep these enormous trucks from barreling through our community damaging our roads, creating a terrible amount of noise that negatively effects our health as well as terrible air pollution. Cyclists and pedestrians are terrified of their speed and dangerous driving as well. Saint Johns Place is too narrow to be handling east and west traveling traffic, B45, passenger cars, cyclists and enormous illegal truck traffic. There are constant traffic jams and dangerous games of chicken between drivers trying to get by the stuck B45. Regular car crashes involving cyclist, pedestrians and motorists. Please address this dangerous street (especially Saint Johns Place between Rogers and Brooklyn Avenue) and figure out a way to keep these trucks from illegally blazing through our neighborhood.
