Mcguinness Boulevard - Java St - India St

The concrete median in the middle of McGuiness Blvd. is useless, wasted space that would be the perfect width for a protected bike lane. Alternately, remove the median and shift the lanes on the west side of the road over, to make space for an unprotected bike lane alongside the parking. This will facilitate access to the Pulaski Bridge bike lane for commuters and delivery guys.

There really should be two cross walks (both sides) crossing Nassau to get to Jewel

Nassau Ave - Mcguinness Boulevard - Newel St

There really needs to be crosswalk on both sides of the side for the corner of Nassau and Newel. Cars are traveling very fast coming off of McGuiness and there's a good amount of foot traffic.

Mcguinness Boulevard - Graham Ave - Mcguinness Boulevard

Driver's rarely, if ever honor this stop sign that is here. They are traveling at high speeds coming off McGuiness and I guess they just don't see it. There is a cross walk there but it's really risky when crossing on foot because of cars assume they have right of way. There really needs to be a stop light.

As a resident I have conflicted feelings about the ideas of a bike lane on McGuiness and reducing traffic to one lane. I like the idea in theory but it does raise an important and practical question. If we do this, where will the vehicular traffic go? I'm concerned that this not being taken into account and the result may be that a large amount of traffic will end up the smaller residential streets, which is dangerous. Or that traffic on McGuinness will forever be caught in a deadlock with one lane, increasing noise and pollution as cars idle. I'm all for the protected bike lane and one line of traffic if there is a practical plan to deal with the bottleneck that will be created. But I fear that addressing the increase in congestion will require cooperation with road plans that fall out of the scope of this project. If the DOT can reduce the traffic in a practical manner then I hope the protected bike lane can be added.

Pedestrians on Nassau crossing McGuiness are very confused by the intersection. A while back the traffic light was altered to allow an explicit amount of time for drivers to make left hand turns on Nassau. Previously drivers had to turn left while traffic was coming in the opposite direction (yielding). However, now pedestrians often are confused or are unaware of this left turn light. Traffic across McGuiness stops, the signal for left turns green, but the pedestrians don't see this. They only see that the traffic has stopped but the walk signal is still red. Confused they start crossing unaware that a car coming can hit them b/c the car has the green light to turn left. This is made worse in by the facts that the wait to cross is long and cars on McGuiness regularly speed. I've seen a few close calls and I fear it is only a matter of time before another fatality occurs.

Nassau Ave - Mcguinness Boulevard - Mcguinness Boulevard

It it extremely common to see cars speeding through this intersection. I had no idea the speed limit was 25 mph. If i had to guess I would say most cars are traveling at 45mph to 55mph when there is low traffic. I have personally witnessed a hit and run accident in this intersection which was caused by speeding.

It is extremely common to see cars running red lights at the intersection of Nassau Ave and McGuinness Blvd. I have seen numerous car wrecks at this intersection. It is also extremely dangerous to pedestrians.

Mcguiness Boulevard - Norman Ave - Brooklyn

despite the small "no trucks" & the "no turns" signs for trucks, 55' tractor trailers continue to turn WEST onto norman ave from mcguiness blvd. blocking crosswalks, clipping trees, hitting parked cars. they cross my n front of ps 34, grammar school, the public library, doctors offices, small businesses, & private homes. the school crossing guards are powerless to control these violations. it is extremely dangerous to pedestrians, older folks, and school children. why can't the police or traffic control be present to enforce the traffic laws & protect our children & citizens?

norman ave between mcguiness blvd & ekford st. early in the morning, from 8am to 9am and again at 2pm to 3pm school busses need to drop off & pick up children on norman ave in front of ps 34 grammar school. there is no one present to control the traffic created at these times. the school crossing guards are powerless to control traffic. car horns are blasting, crosswalks are blocked, spilling out into mcguiness blvd & blocking mcguiness. why can't the police or traffic control be present at these times in order to direct traffic more effectively? ______________________________
