This stretch of Caton Avenue that runs alongside the Parade Grounds should NOT be open to heavy trucks. There are several playgrounds, a school and it is all residential. The trucks are dangerous as kids and adults cross this street to enter the playground and ball fields all day long, and the pollution and smoke from trucks contributes to high rates of asthma and breathing problems for anyone who lives or plays along this route.
Local warehouses like FreshDirect use these routes to enter local truck routes in the community. Excessive truck congestion causes negative environmental and health impacts
NYPD disregarding the law. Big issue with illegal parking around the blocks surrounding the 40th precinct. Private cars (owned by officers) parked on intersections, creating issues of visibility and congestion. This is particularly the case on Alexander Avenue between 138th and 139th streets. Dangerous all around.
The traffic light on 139 and Willis Avenue: its turn left light is a good idea BUT double parking is an issue
Double parking is an issue all over, particularly on main roads
Right after exiting the bridge into the Bronx, this corridor is always clogged and dangerous to all: pedestrians, drivers, cyclists. The main issues are folks turning left on 135 (which is prohibited) and double parking.
1,000+ unit housing development under construction; a new population of residents will be receiving poor air quality, noise, and higher temperatures.
Lack of green space accessibility. This causes higher temperatures and poor air quality, resulting in a range of illnesses
6 lanes available but completely inaccessible. Traffic lights are disregarded and flow of traffic isn't regulated
Ever since the WIM started on the BQE cantilever, overweight trucks are using Furman Street as a bypass, speeding, noise polluting and a danger to pedestrians crossing to the Park. Furman needs to be removed from the truck route.
