Limited Curb Access for Trucks

Road and sidewalk blocked with deliveries unloading.

Often as I am walking my dog and grandchildren, we have to back away from the curb in order to let a turning truck cut this corner, since Bergen Street is not very wide. It's especially upsetting that bikes should have to move onto the sidewalks as well to avoid turning trucks. Also, the noise they make barreling down our street between 5th and 4th Ave rattles the house and seems quite unnecessary given that the wider, and commercial, Flatbush and Atlantic Ave (which runs parallel to Bergen) is only a two blocks away. Not to mention that the narrowness of Bergen St makes it impossible for these trucks to pass local construction vans or other delivery cars, which results in a lot of idling and honking, and quite often yelling and shouting road rage.

Bergen St - 5 Ave - 4 Ave - Brooklyn

Trucks routinely speed down this residential street where I live. There appears to be no reason why trucks should even take this route - there are large arterial roads (aka Flatbush) that would be more appropriate than the detour that trucks currently take through a brownstone residential area filled with children, pets and a bike route.

Bergen St - 4 Ave - 5 Ave

This is a heavily trafficked intersection with lots of trucks, cars, pedestrians and bicycles. I propose that trucks be kept off Bergen Street between Flatbush and 3rd Avenue since these are residential blocks. These blocks also have a bike path with lots of bicyclists on the street and with trucks speeding down the block, there are multiple chances for a dangerous accident. Another reason trucks should be re-routed off Bergen Street is that there are a LOT of pedestrians - going to stores, restaurants, the Barclays Center, and the subway stations. The several blocks of Bergen Street that are designated a truck route make no sense in terms of ease of transportation (why is the city re-routing trucks off a major street like Flatbush onto residential blocks?) and creates a dangerous situation for bicyclists and pedestrians. Also, trucks speed down the streets trying to make lights and shake the houses.

Difficult Truck Turn
Difficult Truck Turn
Metropolitan Ave - Bedford Ave - North 3 St

Many tractor trailers and large box trucks (often delivery trucks going to Whole Foods) try to turn from Metropolitan Ave to Bedford Ave here. This is a sharp turn and the trucks will often hit parked cars or cause major traffic backups as they take multiple light changes to make this turn as they try to go back and forth.

Very dangerous pot hole cave in. Needs urgent repair! Keeps falling in, trucks continuing damage and shaking buildings. Land fill here. Will cause a death if someone hits it wrong.

Bergen St - 4 Ave - 5 Ave

It is only a matter of time until someone gets killed here. I observe this situation almost daily: Trucks come from Flatbush Avenue or 5th Avenue. Often they speed. The road is very narrow and there are a lot of cyclists. The street barely fits a bike and a car next to each other. It gets really dangerous when cars double park or trucks sway into the bike lane. Due to their size they often don't see what is going on behind them or next to them. Just today I saw a mother with her children almost squished to death on a bike by a truck driving into the bike lane while bypassing a double parked contractor car. It was pure luck that she found a gap between two parked cars that she could drive in for protection. Please block this road for trucks before someone dies. Trucks don't need to go here. There is plenty of space on Atlantic and Flatbush for trucks. This is a major bike route and residential block a speed bump would help with the speeding and make cyclists safer.

Given that there is an elementary school and an L stop entrance on this block, having a truck route here is completely illogical and dangerous. The noise is disruptive to the school, and the sheer amount of trucks is frightening with the amount of kids getting on/off school buses and roaming around on this corner. There is also high pedestrian traffic from the L stop (and this area in general) which makes these roads even more congested and dangerous for trucks to be driving through. Please change this truck route for the safety of this block and neighborhood.

Truck is always parked ON the sidewalk, blocking it entirely and forcing pedestrians on the street. Every single morning

Kingsland Ave - Driggs Ave - Nassau Ave

Trucks constantly speeding through Kingsland Ave between Driggs and Nassau. There are some speed bumps on this road, but they do nothing. If anything, there should be more. The trucks race through, barely stopping at the speed bumps, then land with an extremely loud crash at each one. Unacceptable, when there are children who live on this street, and the PS 110 a block away! It is extremely dangerous. Not just trucks, but many vehicles coming off of busy Meeker Ave cut through this small neighborhood street constantly, at all hours of the day. The street is also double wide, which results in drivers racing down like it is a freeway. The street should be narrowed, a bike lane added (there is a Citi Bike rack on this block), at MINIMUM, for safety.
