The noise pollution stemming from the trucks, and the poor quality of the road, makes it exceedingly difficult to fall asleep. A residential street should not be used as a truck route.
"No Truck" signs are inadequate in dissuading trucks from using our thoroughly residential block from travelling through. Especially true of trash trucks leaving Chelsea Market and the Google building and heading east at night.
Signal timing is off. Trucks block intersection and trucks and cars coming from meeker service road can not make the left turn (difficult merge with cars coming off bridge and dangerous for peds and cyclists) need to look at timing or need additional signal to coordinate traffic.
Witness trucks going onto Jackie Robinson Parkway. Need better signage that states no trucks allowed. Saw a truck take down signal light right before entering Jackie.
Trucks often go through this residential street without stopping, just to avoid turning from Flushing to Knickerbocker. There's a small sign but that's not enough, it's very dangerous when they use this street as a through way instead of going to a truck route.
For the second day in a row! While taking my kids to SCHOOL I was almost struck by a huge truck which doesn’t fit on the street and nearly caused an accident . It was TERRIFYING and life threatening and sadly, I am not exaggerating. This is total bullshit!!!!
On June 24, 2024, an 18-wheeler truck crashed into a traffic light pole on NW and SW corners of Coney Island Avenue and Caton, in proximity of P.S. 130.
Countless Amazon trucks and vans use this street to get to a last mile warehouse further up the block. All of this air pollution compounds air pollution from the BQE that passes right next to a major athletic field where young people inhale these fumes.
Very little tree canopy/shade, shrubs, or green infrastructure here. Diesel truck pollution compounds power plant pollution next door, and there is no mitigation of this.
Major truck congestion, traffic, and idling next to a public park.
