as a pedestrian using the crosswalk heading on Nassau wether it’s east or west. There is always an issue with drivers turning either north or south from Nassau. The are always impatient and sometimes do not bother to look for pedestrians crossing and end up hitting people or nearly hitting people. I’ve literally had to jump out of the way to dodge a car once and everytime I cross it feels more dangerous then other streets.
We need more bike lanes! For safety and increase mobility opportunities for those without cars
With new businesses and additional residential apartments on this stretch of the block, double parking often occurs. There needs to be a loading zone here to stop truck idling and double parking.
The Key Foods delivery bay is a huge problem on this corner of McGuinness & Manhattan. Their deliveries show up during key commute times (6 am - 8 am) causing huge congestion on McGuinness and causing trucks to idle for long periods of time. Frustrated drivers wait for huge delivery vehicles to pull into Key Foods, blocking the entirety of the northbound traffic lanes. The additional idling and honking caused by these deliveries are extremely frustrating for all residents in the area.
Very noisy, all day, all night! Way too many trucks passing by.
This section of McGuinness is often as noisy as highway with heavy trucks and other traffic speeding through. Reduce it to one lane each direction and it could be a beautiful neighborhood space!
Traffic from Nassau turning left onto mcguinness in both directions often leads to dangerous uncertainty and limited visibility, reckless driving to speed through intersection ahead of other traffic. Other cars frequently swerve out of lanes to pass turning cars. Needs some kind of staggered light or other improved traffic control.
We need a two-way bike lane for the entire length of mcguinness. It’s currently not safe, and the city needs to make non-car traffic a massive priority to reduce emissions and improve neighborhood quality of life.
Pedestrians are not adhering to the walk signals designed for their safety, they are crossing the street whenever they feel like it. Cyclists are running red lights ahead of cars but are blaming drivers for collisions. There is always a buildup of traffic around 4pm that is now starting to go into Long Island City. Cyclists should bike on the sidewalk and not be out in the streets if they are not going to follow traffic laws. The organizers of this petition censor any opposing views on their social media pages and silence opposing views on their workshops. They are lying about how much the community wants a change for their own personal gain. There is no one speaking up for drivers when they are not at fault. Pedestrians should not be jetting into oncoming traffic when the light is green.
Taxi drivers often run this light and as a resident of the area I’ve almost been hit multiple times
