Cars constantly speed past this intersection, often ignoring stops signs. I've seen many close calls with cars almost hitting one another and cars hitting people. Put an elevated cross walk, daylighting, and/or some physical barriers.
Cars often park illegally on this portion of the bike lane. There are not physical barriers and people often park here and block the bike lane
There is a ice cream truck that consistent parks in the pedestrian cross walk, occupies the right turn lane, obstructrs the pedestrian signal, obstructs the entrance/exit into the park, forces pedestrians into oncoming traffic to go around. Someone needs to tell this person to move. It's ridiculous how this one ice cream truck is allowed to make a miserable experience for people biking, people walking, AND for cars driving to navigate around it.
The ~3 block stretch along Bedford/Rogers poses serious safety risks for pedestrians. With multiple daycares and schools in the area, speeding traffic and red-light violations are a persistent concern. A comprehensive traffic-calming overhaul, focused on pedestrians and cyclists, would make a meaningful difference. This corridor sees heavy foot and bike traffic from families with young children, and with the right prioritization, it has real potential to become a thriving neighborhood asset rather than a car-dominated throughway.
Combining the B49 with a truck route is not a great way to make our buses fast. Please reconsider removing one of the two from Bedford Avenue if you truly want to make this work
Implement daylighting / extended curbs to improve the overall safety of the area
There’s a literal block of cement placed across the pedestrian crossing here making it impossible for people with limited mobility to navigate this intersection safely
Why do these bus stops have zero trees nearby to protect users from the heat or rain while they wait for the bus?
Look at the map image: can the DOT argue we don’t need daylighting measures here to improve the pedestrian visibility and the overall safety of the bus lane?
Big SUVs and big vans frequently park right next to the pedestrian crossing, blocking visibility both for drivers and pedestrians. Why haven’t we already implemented street safety measures in this area when other calmer streets with way less traffic have then? We have a literal thoroughfare cutting across this neighborhood with zero pedestrian safety measures to improve visibility and make crossing the street safer.
Do you want to show us the area in StreetView before submitting?
