This connection between Flatbush Northbound and Caton Ave Westbound is a significant challenge for trucks turning left onto Caton Ave. Caton Ave is not wide enough to accommodate the turn. There is street parking on the north side of Caton that decreases the turning radius. Trucks often get stuck here, trying to back up onto Flatbush Ave to correct the turn. This causes massive delays for all cars on Caton Ave in both directions and in Flatbush southbound. Pedestrians cannot cross Caton Ave during these episodes. This leads to idling, noise pollution from horns and terribly unsafe conditions as drivers attempt to do unpredictable things to get around the log jam.
Bikes Routes should not follow truck routes
Trucks constantly pull over here and sit in the bus lane. This is a major stop for local and express buses and it slows down service significantly. This morning I watch a truck sit in this lane disrupting all the bus service to go inside the bodega before getting on the expressway which is also a hazard in the community. The turn onto the expressway is dangerous for anyone not in truck. we all suffer here everyday.
trucks always trying to beat the lights cause conflict with cyclists navigating this intersection
Saint Johns Place is very dangerous for 2 short blocks between Rogers and New York Ave. There should not be trucks on such a skinny two way street that already has two-way busses and two-way bike lanes. The trucks barely fit, bikers are almost squished, the street is torn up and the trees limbs often get hit.

extremely dangerous stretch of the intersection. vehicles do not stop so there is always a conflict between cyclists, pedestrians and trucks. It is frustrating that this part of the neighborhood sits between two truck routes
Saint Johns Place between Rodgers and New York Avenue is a restricted truck street but the signs are missing. Please re-establish Saint Johns as a truck restricted Street.this stretch is very dangerous for 2 short blocks.
