The driving lanes in this neighborhood is all one way and narrow. I always hear cars honking because a delivery truck is blocking the road or if an food delivery car is double parked. It's quite disruptive.
Loading zone on WEA should extend from West 86th Street north on the east side of the street allowing for continuity from the corner northbound. Without continuity drivers do not use smaller delivery spaces.
The sign says Truck Loading and unloading ONLY, but there are city, state and federal officials that park in the loading zone all day and block business, with permits in their windows. FYI You could designate a space on the commercial street that will not allow permit abuse, by using a commercial zone as a permit parking lot.
Cars are always double parked and there is truck unloading as well. It makes bus movement very hard during busy hours.
Day and night, this is a high frequency conflict area with the food truck parked here, and the bike lane. Pedestrians are frequently in the bike lane, or the food truck is parked too close to the bike lane. Propose moving food truck vendor to west side of 7th Avenue, or if that is not possible parked across the street against traffic to allow for food truck vendor to open canopy to pedestrian sidewalk.
Bike lane is frequently blocked by cargo and trucks during Sunday farmers' market. Propose road diet for a protected bike lane, dedicated bus lane to prevent impeding M7 and M11 buses, and dedicated parking/loading for cargo and trucks.
Apthorp and 378 West End Ave buildings' loading entrances are both located on W 78th St. This means contractors and large deliveries are often double-parked blocking the bike lane AND the Citi Bike docks. Propose converting ALL parking to daytime loading zone only, and shifting Bike Lane closer to sidewalk for a "protected" bike lane. If not, at least propose also turning Citi Bike docks so they face the sidewalk rather than the road.
Frequent double and sometimes triple-parking from Instacart delivery cars. Propose road diet to widen sidewalk for pedestrian and cyclist parking use to discourage double/triple-parking, and direct these cars to load on existing W 74th St loading zone. Propose adding dedicated bus lane travel to ensure double/triple-parking does not impede public transit.
Beacon Theater frequently blocks bike lane for roadie trucks loading when there is an event (which is frequent) with no clear alternative bike lane detour provided. Propose moving all Beacon Theater loading to existing Broadway loading zone or converting parking on W 75th St to loading zone.
Existing non-travel loading zone is used for Fairway's deliveries or for stacking unused shipping pallets or for parked Instacart delivery bikes. Additionally, forklift and pallet jack traffic from Fairway poses a sidewalk hazard for pedestrians. Citarella trucks frequently double or triple park along Broadway travel lanes instead of the prescribed W 74th St loading zone. This causes a bottleneck for all Broadway southbound travel especially the M104 bus. Propose a road diet to widen sidewalk enforced with bollards for clear pedestrian path, and add dedicated enforceable bus lane to ensure clear traffic free of bottlenecks.
