It is almost impossible to bike on this stretch of Morgan without feeling rattled by or cut off by a truck. The section north of Grand Street does not have a dedicated bike lane but is the only north-south connector in the area. I have seen bicycles and scooters get hit by vehicles.

Trucks idle and park on Morgan Avenue by Cooper Park as they're unloading and also overnight.

There are always speeding trucks going up and down the street and there are small children crossing at the crosswalks that are susceptible to getting run over. These big trucks have a hard time see small childern and are many times not looking for pedestrians when they turn on Bushwick and Metropolitan ave. Very dangerous!

In the morning, there is incessant honking at this intersection that backs up all the way down the block. Since the intersection at Bushwick and Metropolian is often blocked from the hours of 6:30 to 9:30. Trucks honk their horns. Not only that, when the trucks are idling at the lights their engines are sooo loud. I can't even have a conversation walking my kiddo to school. As a homeowner on Metropolitan Ave. it's been the worst part of living here. Please reroute the big 18 wheeelers back to Meeker! Do no allow them to cut through out neighborhood as a shortcut.

I have been hit several times walking across Bushwick at Metropolitan on the south side of the intersection. It backs up so trucks are in a hurry to make the light. They do not pay attention to the crosswalk lights. I am a homeowner on Metropolitan and do not allow my middles school aged son cross Bushwick there.

Giant trucks speed down Metropolitan Ave from Olive to Bushwick. It's a long block and they want to make the light. Since there is no crosswalk I've seen so many people get hit or nearly missed. The oversized trucks are so loud in the morning you can't hear. There are lots of elementary and middle school kids that walk along Metropolitan to get to PS132 or the subway/bus to get to school. The noise is unbearable and kids have a hard time paying attention.

At the corner of E 3rd st and Caton, vehicles block the box at nearly every light during high traffic times, making it difficult for pedestrians to cross. Each school day I walk my child to his school bus stop and we are blocked from crossing often by large trucks with cabs so high it is not likely the driver can see anyone trying to cross in front or behind--particularly a child. This presents a very dangerous situation for pedestrians. There are several schools in close proximity. Drivers of smaller vehicles also speed through the yellow light since traffic backs up. They end up blocking the crosswalks for pedestrians, as well as or cars driving up E 3rd street. At times I've had to sit through a couple of light cycles before I can make it through that intersection. Additionally, there is a lot of trash and pollution along Caton avenue from all the through traffic. This is a residential area with narrow streets, schools, playgrounds and parks that sees a lot of foot traffic, so inappropriate for such large vehicles and high volume traffic.

DSNY trucks speed down Parkside Ave to return to the DSNY BK 9 garage at the end of their shifts. Narrow condition and speed bumps near the school do not seem to be preventing this behavior.

Flatbush Ave btw. Empire Blvd. and Eastern Parkway is defacto truck parking on both sides of the street during nights and weekends.
