Dangerous traffic, speeding. Hard to cross with children. Reduce lanes or build raised highway.
Almost daily drivers run red lights
Eckord is precariously narrow street and two side street parking is prohibitive to plowing and street cleaning. Reconfiguring parking to one side, allowing a protected bike lane running North along the South Bound route Leonard seems to make more sense.
Cars speed down Leonard St. as an alternate to McGuiness and Manhattan Aves. They travel at speeds unsafe considering the block is home to a PreSchool, Senior Center and Special Needs Home; let alone the major bike through way in Greenpoint. PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING A SPEED BUMP.
Protected two way bike lane
The late-night dump trucks should be fined for using their Jake brakes and engine brakes. They are louder than the dirt bikers and kids with loud exhausts
Two main issues: one is too many motorcycles are using the bicycle lane entering it to cross Pulaski bridge. This scares me as a cyclist and particularly scares me when I see parents with their children on the bike with motorcycles zooming past them: this is not safe. Second, many motorized bicycles and scooters are using the sidewalk on Freeman as they exit the bridge and zoom over from Pulaski along McGuinness, or along Freeman toward the Pulaski bridge. My dog has almost been hit twice because motorized vehicles on the sidewalk are going fast. It is very scary.
Table stakes would be wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes, automobile speed-reducing measures, more greenery (trees, shrubs, etc.). Going big would include making provision for street car service to link up to BQX, or eventual possibility that the I-287 corridor is torn down and replaced by more sensible transportation services.
Cars and trucks speed on McGuinness Blvd despite the signs posted for the speed limit and the cameras in the area.
A stop sign should be placed at the corner of Meserole Ave and Eckford Street to make it easier for all pedestrians to cross. A school is right down the block on Eckford and Norman and there is no crossing guard for the kids just a block away on Meserole and Eckford making it a dangerous area to cross for just about anyone when cars are flying up the block.
