Living on McGuinness Boulevard, I do not feel safe riding my bike as a novice biker. There has been a significant amount of new residential development in this neighborhood over the last several years and the street design should reflect that for pedestrian and cyclist safety. Many of my neighbors walk their dogs and go on walks with their small children on this busy street. Traffic calming measures should be added as well as a protected bike lane with bollards. A bike lane would allow me to bike to the Greenpoint or North Williamsburg ferry stops or to Long Island City without fearing for my safety. Residents also often cross in the middle of McGuinness to access the Key Food and Taco Bell. This is dangerous because of the traffic. A crosswalk and yield sign should be added to the middle of the street where people are crossing anyway.
Down Under the Pulaski Bridge Overpass. The area beneath the Pulaski Bridge is a great opportunity for art and commerce to collide. Over on Paidge Avenue, there are fantastic murals that tourists go out of their way to photograph. Creeping up Box Street are a bunch of exciting new businesses and restaurants that New Yorkers go out of their way to visit. Under the Pulaski Bridge, there could be farmers markets and/or flea markets going right up to the revitalized Newtown Creek. Well, there is a Bridge Maintenance facility there now, and that is very valuable obviously, but perhaps more creative minds than myself could figure something out. It's already a fascinating intersection for industry, street art, food enthusiasts, tourists and weddings at Box Hotel, boating. City can amplify all that.
Dangerous left turn with cars speeding. Needs an amber flashing light signal and adequate street lighting for cars and cyclists to turn safety
Please plant more trees along Mcguinness Blvd. The pollution and dust is unbearable and causing health issues like asthma, and pulmonary fibriosis.
Cars and Bikes use this as a cut-through street instead of McGuiness. Which is fine, but they speed through here as the same speed. They are reckless and often do not have regard for pedestrians. We need speed bumps at the very least. Cars are often aggressive, honking and angrily cutting around people trying to park or cross the street at Leonard and Greenpoint.
Bushes block view of oncoming traffic. They need to be removed!
Please add more trees along mcguiness blvd. it's heavily polluted and needs more greenery
Not enough time to cross especially with children, and then LONG wait in the car fumes for the pedestrian light to turn green again.
Remove this useless and dangerous slip
You can't reach the Pulaski bridge bike lane from this station!
