Point of interest/difficult crossing for pedestrians*
Trucks (especially Fed Ex) use Humboldt street as a shortcut to bypass McGuinness and get to the BQE (usually coming from Greenpoint Avenue). Humboldt street has become an entrance ramp to the highway where it meets McGuinness. Turning a portion of Humboldt in the opposite direction would greatly help the neighborhood.
Broome St is missing a crosswalk
Please don't remove a lane, it would be a disaster causing idle traffic between meeker to pulaski bridge. Not calming, this would cause rage. We need more signage for all users: bikes, pedestrians, drivers alike. Speed limit signs, Education for pedestrians and cyclists who don't follow road rules. No one uses sidewalks on Mcguinness, there are no businesses. Increasing ways to slow traffic is necessary ie, speed bumps, more and longer lights, anything but removing a lane. It would be chaos. Thank you.
With the narrowing of McGuinness to one lane in each direction, the Pulaski will have excess road capacity. We could turn the western travel lanes into a busway for the B32 & B62, since those buses turn onto Freeman and Green, or we could widen the pedestrian and bike paths!
Remove this slipway and create more park space instead. Aggressive speeding drivers don't stop at the stop sign from Graham Ave crossing Driggs, putting pedestrians, cyclist, other drivers (and themselves) at risk. Just have people turn right from McGuinness instead! Then we can use this as an expansion of the garden triangle for more green space and park space for residents.
This bike lane needs full protection and separation from traffic on the Pulaski. The northbound direction is missing any direct connection at all.
A PROTECTED bike lane is a much needed improvement here and will provide connections to other places around greenpoint!
There is no safe route traveling east from Williamsburg to McGolrick Park neighborhood. Bedford and Berry feed into Nassau ave so there is lots of car traffic heading east but not much heading west between McGuinness and Lorimer. Separate bike lane is needed instead of sharing with cars. Nassau could be one way eastbound between Lorimer and McGuinness to allow for more space for bike lane.
Removal of 1 lane of traffic on each travel side is essential to actually make McGuinness safe. This is truly the only way to improve this route and prevent more deaths.
