Oversize trucks have trouble turning here. They often go onto the pedestrian medians. This is really a problem as there are over 1000 elementary and middle school students across the 4 schools that share buildings at 60th St (PS934/939 and PS503/506) here, and a new daycare and tutoring center at 61st St/3 Ave. There is also a NYU affiliated daycare which walks children nearby and a physical therapy rehabilitation on 60th between 2 and 3 Aves. Can DOT reroute trucks so they don't come into conflict with these schools and community facilities?

Van Brunt should not be a truck route - there are too many people around for these huge trucks on a narrow tight road!

Oversized trucks can't make this turn and get stuck blocking traffic.

So many speeding trucks on Van Brunt. This is a neighborhood street with schools, pedestrians, and cyclists. Not an appropriate truck route!

There should be more truck loading areas here, heavy commercial area- too much space for residential parking

This intersection is extremely dangerous--the trucks race down, and pass each other quickly, and they take up so much room that cars get stuck under the highway when the lights turn red, and some just speed up, run the red light, and almost hit pedestrians. The intersection is dangerous enough as it is. Adding trucks make it way worse. I have seen trucks almost hit the middle school students who are too close to the curb.

Extremely sharp turn. Some trucks barely make the turn and take MINUTES wiggling to turn. Some trucks try turning onto 3rd avenue from a side block (56-58th street) and can barely make the turn if a car is parked 4 feet into the avenue.
