It is very difficult to see oncoming traffic when turning left (or right) from Ekford onto Greenpoint Ave. This is especially dangerous because cars are going fast.
abandoned dumpster is sitting in the shoulder, almost into the driving lane. it causes drivers to swerve and can be dangerous for bicyclists
oncoming traffic makes it difficult to turn left here. And it's hard to see people in the crosswalk. Suggest a left turn light.
cars waiting in line at carwash back up in the street for 1-2 blocks. this causes backups of cars and lots of lane changing
I am not for the reduction of McGuinness into two lanes. I believe this project is short sighted. Decreasing lanes on McGuinness will increase traffic in other places. This project was spurred by a traffic death on McGuinness. We see traffic accidents and deaths on other streets in Greenpoint, such as Manhattan and West. Traffic will get worse in residential areas like Montior and Kingsland. If the goal is to reduce traffic flow in the area while still servicing the area's business, I would advocate for a wider view of all of those corridors. My opinion is that Manhattan should become a one way, southbound street from Greenpoint Ave to Driggs to alleviate congestion. You can eliminate one on the west side of McGuiness and have a protected bike lane that connects with the bridge. Maintaining a double lane along McGuiness would help push traffic out of the neighborhood while disincentivizing travel from LIC.
Greenpoint doesn't need anymore bike lanes. Too many idiots on bicycles disregard the bike lanes anyway and ride on the sidewalks. Between the bike delivery morons and dopey hipsters on Citibikes, Greenpoint streets are a mess! This city is a mess!
cars and trucks speed here, it is not safe for pedestrians or bikers
A lot of double parking on both sides of the street both trucks delivering to the bakery and bakery customers in cars.
This street has a lot of trucks, there is double parking of trucks, and during production all the corner sightlines are blocked by parking production vehicles.
There is a lot of speeding and double parking on this street, and it's not safe on a bike.
