The timing of the lights makes it nearly impossible to cross both sides of Meeker in a single traffic light cycle. Meeker should have shorter green lights and the McGuinness Blvd - Humbolt walk signals should be extended so that a person can cross both portions of Meeker and not be trapped underneath the elevated highway.
This intersection has extremely confusing conflicts between cars and pedestrians. Cars also come off the ramp too quickly. It would be better if the ramp did not allow cars to turn south and forced all cars onto Meeker.
This is a main thoroughfare and a vital artery for commercial traffic and deliveries. Do not reduce number of lanes - this will likely aggravate traffic and actually ADD noise and pollution as traffic grinds to a halt.
There is no need for bike lanes on McGuinness Boulevard. There are great alternatives to bike around the neighborhood. This is not one of them. A bike lane here would back up traffic for a road that is a critical connector between Queens and Brooklyn. This added congestion is not healthy for the residents in the area either.
All of McGuiness needs a physically protected two way bike lane. It is a biker death trap as currently engineered.
This area, where cars headed southbound off the bridge merge with bikers headed southbound off the bridge bike lane, and with pedestrians crossing at Eagle, is very dangerous for both pedestrians and bikers. Cars frequently come off the bridge at speeds over 40MPH and it's a situation where a single wrong move could result in a severe injury or death as speeding cars, bikes, and pedestrians move. Need some traffic calming here.
Drivers fly on the Pulaski. Frequently hit 50 MPH (I know from being in ubers). There should be a permanent speed camera pointed at the bridge in both directions, but especially southbound, given the lack of a light on the Brooklyn side.
Constant pothole issues along this stretch of roadway.
Disagree with removing any traffic lanes on this stretch of roadway. Both the two traffic lanes and existing parking lane are all needed to keep traffic fron constantly being congested here.
Do not bring back open streets, that horrible idea, especially near a park, only flooded adjacent streets with cars, made parking more difficult, and hampered response times for emergency vehicles.
