There should be a crosswalk across Manhattan here, as there is at Lorimer. Although NYS law is that cars have to yield to pedestrians at intersections, in practice none of the cars do.
Most dangerous crosswalk in the city that I regularly use is the crosswalk across Metropolitan on the west side of the BQE. When pedestrians have a walk signal, the cars on Meeker have a yellow turn signal. But the cars are coming off of a freeway and are antsy and don't really understand that they do really have to yield. The cars constantly threaten pedestrians; someone is going to get killed here.
In my experience, there are ALWAYS cars or trucks parked here blocking the bike lane. It's not just that I have to swerve into traffic to get around them, they also often completely block off the entry to the concrete-barrier protected bike lane, so most of the time I have to travel in the car lane and no one can use the bike lane for the entire block.
This is a big intersection that's generally busy. Bikes need better infrastructure (in general) but here specifically for left turns from Morgan onto Grand.
Cars drive very dangerously on these blocks of Grand. Consider daylighting and narrowing the streets with larger, jersey barrier protected bike lanes.
this plan is a regression of pedestrian and bike safety. if anything we need protected bike lanes
Needs more clear no truck signage. Many trucks use this as a shortcut between Vandervoort and Metropolitan.
The slow down sign is knocked over once a week. Needs a cross walk. Trucks are knocking the sign down (on a no truck street). Consider adding stone or plastic ballards.
this area needs a bike lane, cars gain a bit of speed here
bike lane on graham!
