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
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.
