Please please please add a traffic light at President and Columbia we desperately need it. Lots of kids on the street and neighborhood and I can’t tell you how many times trucks and cars come barreling down the street and have almost hit people. I’ve sent it at least 10 times in just this last week.

Large trucks constantly park on the southeast corner and make pulling out of this street extremely dangerous. I have had numerous near misses in the years that I have lived here. It really is an awful corner to pull out of. It's very active due to the 2 corner stores across from each other on President.

Cross Columbia Street at President Street is very dangerous and I wish for a stop sign or street lights. It is so dangerous because your line of sight is blocked by cars parking illegally in front of a corner store at 247 Columbia St. There is a playground and soon to be school at the end of that street on Vanbrunt. It draws a lot of families in our area and is an accident waiting to happen. If you are driving down President trying to turn left on Columbia, it's impossible to do that safely. It's like rolling the dice every time. I only turn right and even that feels sketchy because cars are blocking your view.

Every day I try to cross Van Brunt Street @ Hamilton headed towards the park. Cars and trucks on Hamilton whip around toward the left there and don't seem to be aware that this IS a pedestrian crossing, too. I've nearly been struck down countless times.

The speed at which cars and trucks roar through this neighborhood is extremely dangerous. This is a residential area! It's nearly impossible to cross here safely, between parked trucks blocking sight lines, fast-moving traffic, and general congestion. Due to Cabrini Playground, President street is a draw for children and caregivers, and this intersection is literally an accident waiting to happen.

This is a very dangerous crossing for pedestrians. Cars and Trucks go through the red light, traffic is moving VERY quickly, cars and truck block the intersection making dangerous to cross. Also, the light is extremely short, it's impossible to make it all the way across both sides of Hicks during one light without literally RUNNING.

Hicks at the base of the footbridge is a very dangerous pedestrian crossing. On multiple occasions my son and I have almost been hit by cars/trucks going through the red light, also, cars/trucks block the intersection making crossing safely difficult.

The bike lane transition for cyclists continuing onto Van Brunt street is extremely dangerous. Southbound traffic on Van Brunt street do not anticipate cyclists to merge. The addition of a protected bike lane here would be especially helpful given the uptick in trucks. Even as an experienced cyclist I'm quite scared of biking this part of Van Brunt every day with the number of trucks coming through and no protection available to me.

The truck roaring over this area shakes my apartment every second. They are incredibly loud and the fumes are horrid. The BQE needs to come down. This is a safely, environmental, and quality of life issues for those forced to live close to the BQE due to lack of affordable housing.
