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.
Cars speed up Meserole Avenue from McGuinness Blvd all the way to The stop sign on Leonard making it hazardous for children and other pedestrians trying to cross the street in Eckford Street.
Bikers making deliveries ride fast and swerve between cars trying to get by almost causing accidents to people driving cars.
We all know we've been taking our life in our hands crossing this crazy boulevard for as long as any of us can remember. You can just feel it the minute you step off the sidewalk and it's ALWAYS been that way. So I hope no one really works to save a bunch of car lanes just to avoid having a "fashionable" bike lane or whatever else you think they're bringing. We finally have a chance to make a change and I for one hope we do!!
There should be a painted crosswalk to signal the entrance to the park here. The new speed bumps on Russell are a definite improvement and a painted crosswalk would make it plain to drivers why they are being asked to slow down.
Trucks blatantly ignore the No Trucks signs and use Monitor Street to cut through the neighborhood. Why are these the only street signs that seem to be so freely ignored?
Left turn signal is very inconsistent. There are days where it never appears at all. It’s confusing drivers and pedestrians and someone is going to get hurt.
Please don't take a lane from McGuinness for a bike lane. The traffic is too much for only one lane. If you really need a bike lane on McGuinness, you can use the SIDE WALK for BIKE LANE. McGuinness has never had much pedestrian on the side walk from BQE until Pulaski at any time of the day.
McGuinness already has a lot of traffic and noise compared to adjacent streets. While I like the idea of protected bike lanes, it seems like that would only make traffic congestion, loud vehicles, idling, etc. even worse. Unless there is a way of diverting traffic, I think those changes would make the experience of living on this street much more unpleasant.
