Trucks have a challenging time making the right turn onto Coney Island Avenue and often go over barriers separating the lanes of traffic to do so.

Trucks often speed here, in a residential area with a bike lane and heavy pedestrian traffic.

Broadway - West 28 St - West 29 St
Broadway, 24-32 should be de-designated as a truck route. It is no longer part of a through route, it is very difficult to get to, and no longer gets you anywhere once you're on it. It has also been transformed into a shared street making some truck movements more difficult.

Trucks are frequently parked in the unprotected bike lane which many people use to get to work. Makes commutes very unsafe, especially on such a wide road where vehicles speed

E. 17th between Broadway and Park Ave South should be de-designated. It no longer makes sense as the e/w connection it once was.

There is so much truck idling here and on surrounding intersections due to the amount of traffic congestion during peak hours. NYC DOT needs to reduce the volume of vehicles by downsizing the number of travel lanes. There also needs to be much more tree canopy and green infrastructure because it is almost entirely asphalt, like a parking lot, and it's all impermeable surfaces that don't absorb stormwater and makes the area significantly hotter in the summer.

Broadway - 38 St - Steinway St
This is one of the intersections in Astoria with the most foot traffic. Trucks, especially tractor trailers, frequently attempt to make turns in limited space that jam up foot and vehicular traffic.
