The NYC Truck Route Network is a system of designated roads that helps commercial vehicles navigate the city efficiently. It aims to:
Connect primary freight origins and destinations.
Maximize access to industrial and commercial zones.
Minimize conflicts with residential areas and vulnerable road users.
This network is crucial for supporting the local economy and livability by:
Organizing neighborhood truck activity
Reducing traffic congestion on non-designated routes

The bike lane creates problems with delivery trucks and other commercial vehicles that need to park or pick up merchandise. The trucks will stop and completely block McGuinness.The bike lane should be eliminated and put in one of the parallel streets with less traffic. It would be less dangerous for bikers.
Manhattan is a narrow street with a lot of traffic. Lots of trucks stop in double line and the whole avenue is blocked constantly.
Difficult turn from Greenpoint Ave into McGuinness and viceversa.
This is an "All of the above" corner. What makes it worse are the Laser Ship contract employees who don't follow any laws and sometimes make three lanes in one direction. They drive on sidewalks, go through lights and speed through the Western Beef parking lot. Now a big truck depot has opened at that corner right next to the Grand Avenue bridge and Trucks block all traffic trying to turn.
The amount of asian grocers and trucks makes it very dangerous and over crowded in this entire area. It is especially bad in the AM.
Lots of pedestrians frequent this block to walk between the MTA W4 Street station and the Path Train Station one block up. Truck drivers have a hard time seeing pedestrians who are crossing 8th street when turning right from 6th Ave onto 8th street
This road is very dangerous for bike riders. I do not understand why the city puts bkes and trucks on the same roadway. Bike lanes should be on less busy one was streets.
Trucks frequently accelerate to a high speed on this block to make the next light
This intersection is a nightmare. There should be a left turn signal on the lane entring Queens for traffic turning left on Review Avenue the same time the traffic towards the bridge has a left turn signal for Review. Also, the light half a block in at 37th street is timed wrong. It should not be red in the direction away from the Greenpoint Ave bridge. Trucks get backed up into the intersection. People go around and through that light and I never see people crossing there.
Trucks often use the cub on the park side as makeshift parking. This is unsafe for traffic using the street, completely eliminates any opportunity to ride a bike down the street, and misuses the sidewalks intended for those walking around, near, and past the park.
