Cars are regularly double-parked and block the bicycle line. I experience it every single day on my morning commute. The road is narrow and it's hard to avoid the car safely.
Frequent double parking for unloading. Buses and heavy traffic forced into one-lane traffic. Worst in the mornings.
At the intersection of Columbia St. & Congress St. large trucks constantly park in front of the fire hydrant. There is absolutely no daylighting to begin with at this corner because of the shed that has been there for SEVEN years. Sometimes drivers park many feet from the curb and cars going north must cross over to the south lane. Given the bumper to bumper traffic imposed on the community with ZERO effort at mitigation, every effort needs to be made to allow traffic to flow. Also, across the street there is a bus stop which is mostly used for deliveries. This forces passengers to board and disembark in the middle of the street, which is extremely dangerous. DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE AN EFFORT TO REDUCE THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION. STOP TREATING THE COMMUNITY LIKE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS.
The USPS always has trucks in the bike lane and on the sidewalk here.
Trucks delivering to the shops on 2nd Ave between 38th and 37th streets often use the left-most traffic lane to double-park. The problem is: that's one of 2 left-turn lanes that allow turning into 36th St and/or the Queens-Midtown tunnel 1 block further down. So, it limits the stacking of vehicles waiting for the left-turn light at 2nd Ave & 36th St and causes traffic to back up into the 2nd Ave - 38th St intersection, causing gridlock in that intersection.
The buses and fire trucks are constantly honking due to the number for double parked vehicles on this street at night. We need a loading area for delivery driver vehicles.
Both sides of the street have large apartment buildings with near-constant delivery trucks. Multiple times per week, delivery trucks park in the travel lanes on both sides of the street, bringing all traffic—even emergency vehicles—to an indefinite standstill. Endless choruses of honking ensue. Rather than collaborate on solutions, the anti-loading zone activists like to scream online at those of us asking for the city to address this, as though keeping the streets clear is somehow anti-car.
The bike lane right by the corner is almost always blocked by a car or van on weekday evenings.
The bike lane through this stretch of Knickerbocker is basically just a parking lot every day during business hours.
I don't believe I have come down Dekalb any day in the past year without seeing rampant double parking, whether in the bike lane or on the other side of the street. Even worse when the farmer's market is going on.
