Cars come fast down this street when the light changes, and people cross here to go into the parking lot. When it’s dark there’s bad visibility as well.
Hold pedestrians responsive for their actions, most accidents here are caused by jaywalking, or people walking against the light. Y'all are complaining about idling trucks now? wake up, they want to turn mcguinness blvd into a parking lot. If you think traffic is bad now, it's gonna get worse, pushing traffic into side streets. These transplants don't even drive, they take their bikes, and ignore the same traffic signals they fight to get in place. Want to make it safer for pedestrians/bikes? Have give them a bike lane on a side street, not a main artery between Brooklyn and Lic
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
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.
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.
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.
