One block traffic reversal on Manhattan Ave between Grand and Powers. Keeps trucks from turning onto residential streets and keeps them on truck routes like Graham
Crosswalk with clear lines of sight is badly needed here. Cars (including nyc official vehicles) park at both corners and in front of the fire hydrant next to Leonard Library. There is no enforcement and we should not pretend there will be enforcement in the future. Daylighting the intersection will make it safer for children and strollers to access Leonard Library.
One block traffic reversal on Leonard between Metropolitan and Devoe. Stops cut through traffic in this residential ar a between DOT dedicated truck routes. Designing the street this way allows NYPD to focuses on other safety measures rather than truck route enforcement which has not historically been enforced.

Sidewalks are used as two-way cyclist and e-scooter highway. Especially at night. Had to dodge a e-bike delivery coming from behind me only to nearly get hit by an e-scooter coming at me last night. This is a regular occurrence as cyclists don't feel safe on Metropolitan so they choose to make it unsafe for pedestrians on the sidewalks.
Tricky pedestrian crossing. Sometimes have to wait for three lights.
Cyclists (motorized and not) travel in both directions along this narrow sidewalk on Metropolitan between Meeker and N 5th because there's no bike lane and Metropolitan is too dangerous in this section. This puts pedestrians at risk as cyclists don't slow down and pedestrians are an annoying obstacle to them.
The bollards blocking Nth 6 often are taken out by drivers who mistakenly get in this lane and wanted to turn on Metro instead of N 6th. This allows cars/motorcyclists/cyclists going "west" on Metro to turn onto N6th and there have been several close calls with pedestrians crossing in the crosswalk as there is a huge blind spot that obscures the half of the crosswalk nearest the BQE.
Bikes attempting to continue along S 4th St need to exit the roadway and bike on the sidewalk for about 50 feet before they're able to re-join the bikelane. This is terrible design and has led to numerous instances of bikers almost hitting pedestrians on this narrow sidewalk section.
Marcy Ave could use a protected bike lane here to connect Metropolitan and Borinquen Place, both of which have protected bike lanes, and allow for safely entering the South Williamsburg residential streets without needing to navigate traffic that is merging onto the BQE southbound.
