Clinton St - Hamilton Ave - Mill St

Confusing and unsafe to navigate this area by bike

Richards St - Pioneer St - Brooklyn

There is not a stop sign here and there is also not a crosswalk here, so it is not possible for children to safely cross the street to access the park and playground. There really should be a crosswalk because it is the main way for families to get to the park and to the playground.

Wolcott St - Richards St - Van Brunt St - Brooklyn

Between Richards and VanBrunt there used to be a sign that said that Wolcott Street is not for trucks (except Delivery Trucks), but I've noticed that the sign is gone. Please add the sign back to this street - it is a street with an Elementary School and there is no reason for trucks to be on this street.

Dikeman St - Richards St - Van Brunt St

Trucks try and fail to make impossible turns here all the time. It's a constant disturbance at all hours.

Gowanus Expressway Exit 25 Eb - Gowanus Expressway - Bklyn Btry Tnnl En Hamilton Ave

The 9th street crosswalk signal under the BQE is no where near long enough. If you are able-bodied and you hustle, you might make it across in one cycle. Anyone with a stroller, wheelchair, child, elderly person, groceries, or anything else inhibiting their ability to walk at a very brisk pace will be stuck under the BQE where there is loud, fast traffic on all sides. The area where the crosswalk crosses is also dirty, poorly kept with uneven surfaces covered in bird feces, and is generally unpleasant and feels unsafe at times. I feel fairly confident there are no predominantly white neighborhoods that lack this very very basic accessibility consideration. It’s a shame and a little embarrassing for the city.

Very dangerous road to cross. Cars speed to merge onto Hamilton Ave and don't stop for pedestrians. No crosswalk or stop sign.

Very dangerous road to cross that doesn't have crosswalk or stop sign.

Bowne St - Hamilton Ave - Richards St

The intersection where Bowne St. merges onto Hamilton Ave and where Hamilton Ave merges into Summit St as it wraps around the tunnel entrance is extremely dangerous to pedestrians. Cars speed and accelerate on both streets as they approach Hamilton Ave. Anyone trying to walk from Richards St at southside of Hamilton to the north side of Hamilton has to cross several very dangerous roads that don't have stop signs or crosswalks.
