This instersection needs another stop sign to make it a 4-way stop . Cars speed down Comumbia street and the ability to see in either direction when at the stop sign on summit is limited. This is in part due to the increase in traffic since construction started on the BQE.
The intersection at Degraw and Columbia is extremely dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians because cars turning r. off Columbia onto Degraw often don't stop for red lights and trucks and cars heading for the BQE from Columbia and turning left Degraw charge into the intersection, blocking pedestrians and cyclists, ignoring lights. I've filed multiple complaints at least asking for a delayed light for cyclists and pedestrians but the DOT and NYPD literally respond that traffic is normal, no problems. Obviously, other people have observed the same thing, as witnessed here. I'm adding my voice to this, as the refusal of responsible officials to even acknowledge the problem is extremely frustrating.
Drivers speed through intersection and don’t yield to pedestrians, most of whom are children trying to get to school.
Tesla cars are backed up along Imlay and around the corner, forcing drivers to use the bike lane to get access to the traffic light. Particularly dangerous b/c the line of cars awaiting service not visible until after the turn.
On Beard Street from Van Brunt to Columbia Street, the Amazon drivers go at dangerous speeds and along Beard and enter/exit from the Amazon warehouse at excessive speeds and without checking for pedestrians traversing their driveways. It is particularly dangerous at night. Also trucks parked along Beard Street obscure the view of the sidewalks.
Abandoned cars and trash make this public space dangerous
This street is always clogged with trucks, especially 53' trailers. They often double Park and park on the sidewalk.
This intersection is often clogged with traffic. When traffic is flowing drivers bound for the BQE take the right turn very quickly. This makes it dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists joining The Greenway from this intersection.
This bike lane needs to be protected with a jersey barrier, right now it is a magnet for parking. Or, when people illegally park on the otherside, cars drive in it.
