Metropolitan Ave - Olive St - Catherine St - Brooklyn

Metropolitan Ave west of Morgan Ave quickly goes from an industrial thoroughfare to a much more residential street, in the span of only a block or two. Yet commercial trucks, box trucks and semi-trailers, routinely speed through residential areas, block intersections, and endanger pedestrians and cyclists. As the neighborhood shifts to a largely residential zone, these trucks are an increasing hazard as well as quality of life issue.

Monitor St - Driggs Ave - Nassau Ave

An easy and low-cost solution to speeding trucks (and all traffic) could be to place a stop sign and a crosswalk in the middle of Monitor Street at the McGorlick Park entrance. One was placed at the Nassau St. entrance and it has proven to be a success at slowing traffic and increasing pedestrian safety.

147 Ave - Guy R Brewer Boulevard - 181 St

This area is plagued by truck activity, which includes truck traffic and parking. Trucks are traveling between the busy Rockaway Blvd and 147th Ave (making the turn onto 147th Avenue via Guy Brewer Blvd. This area is not part of the JFK BID. The residents who live in this area are subjected to constant truck traffic and congestion, especially during rush hour. This is compounded by the presence of a truck repair business on the South side of 147th Avenue and 178th Street. This area is also a part of the city bus route. The diesel fumes and traffic generated by all of this activity makes for an especially hazardous living situation for the people in the area, including the single- and two-family homes, the two shelters located on the corner of Guy Brewer and 147th Avenue and the public school located just past 147th Avenue (along Guy Brewer Blvd). The property values of the homes in the area are sure to be depressed by this activity. I am particularly concerned about the fact that, in addition to all of these burdens, clearance has been given to developers to construct a mixed-use building on the corner of Guy Brewer and 147th Avenue. This construction will increase traffic, pollution and risk to more residents and pedestrians. In closing, I will point out that much of this activity includes the movement and parking of 53-foot/18-wheeler trucks which, with few exceptions, are not allowed on NYC City Streets, per Section 385 of the NYS Vehicle & Traffic Law, (https://www.dot.ny.gov/about-nysdot/faq/are-53-foot-long-trailers-allowed-in-nyc). Such large trucks should NEVER be allowed on local NYC streets, as our roads are not built to accommodate them and they pose safety and health hazards to residents and pedestrians.

Caton Ave - East 2 St - East 3 St

This is a residential stretch of the avenue with two schools and many families and children living on it. The trucks affect the air quality and and health of the people who live nearby. We have children who want to play outside, but the fumes from the trucks make this dangerous. We cant even keep our windows open because of the air and noise pollution.

Metropolitan Ave - Manhattan Ave - Graham Ave

Many trucks have bad shocks/brakes or engine issues that make them excessively loud. They break noise ordinances when they drive on this road. Also the road is bumpy which makes them even louder. They need to fix their trucks.

Trucks and large vehicles like yellow school buses speed and cause congestion. Bicyclists have no safe way to cross or drive through this busy intersection.

Super dangerous road. Conflicts with large vehicles and trucks. Needs traffic calming and protected bike crossing to avoid turning vehicles.

Trucks passing by are very loud: a decibel meter at an open 3rd floor window near this location reads 90-100 dB when a truck passes by, which they do starting around 3-4AM. Also, air quality is worsened as a result of trucks getting backed up in traffic, which they do starting around rush hour.
