I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue regarding the rampant double and triple parking of cars on the eastbound lanes of Neptune Avenue around and by Mark Twain JH. As a concerned resident of this community, I have noticed an alarming increase in the number of vehicles parking illegally, obstructing the flow of traffic and causing significant inconvenience to both residents and commuters. The presence of double and triple parked cars on Neptune Avenue Frow West 28th Street to West 23rd Street poses several hazards and inconveniences that need to be addressed urgently. Firstly, the obstruction of traffic flow on this busy road often leads to congestion, forcing vehicles to swerve into adjacent lanes, endangering the safety of both motorists and pedestrians. Moreover, emergency response vehicles may face unnecessary delays in reaching their destinations, potentially compromising public safety. Additionally, the illegal parking situation has a detrimental impact on the overall quality of life in our neighborhood. Commuters and residents are frequently delayed and frustrated due to the bottlenecks caused by the double and triple parked vehicles. This situation not only affects their daily routines but also creates unnecessary stress and impairs the efficiency of local businesses. In light of these concerns, I would like to request that the council take immediate action to address the issue of double and triple parking on Neptune Avenue. Here are a few suggestions that may help alleviate the problem: 1. Increase Enforcement: Strengthen traffic enforcement efforts in the area, particularly during peak traffic hours, to deter illegal parking practices. This could involve deploying more parking enforcement officers or installing surveillance cameras to identify and penalize offenders. 2. Public Awareness Campaign: Launch a comprehensive public awareness campaign to educate drivers about the consequences and risks associated with double and triple parking. This could include distributing informational leaflets, installing road signs, and utilizing local media platforms to promote responsible parking habits. 3. Review Parking Infrastructure: Assess the adequacy of existing parking facilities in the vicinity of Neptune Avenue. If necessary, consider increasing the number of parking spaces or implementing innovative parking solutions to reduce the demand for illegal double and triple parking. 4. Collaboration with Local Authorities: Engage with the local police department and collaborate on enforcement efforts. Joint operations and coordinated actions between traffic officers and council personnel can significantly improve the effectiveness of addressing the problem. By taking swift action to address the issue of double and triple parked cars on Neptune Avenue, we can enhance traffic safety, reduce congestion, and improve the overall quality of life for residents and commuters in our community. I kindly request that you prioritize this matter and keep me informed of any actions or initiatives undertaken to resolve this issue.
Parking was reverse in angled parking for a period of time and should return to this as it was effective and created more parking on neptune avenue. A lot of shops disobey the parallel parking and back vehicles in to park. It works, it is effective and makes sense.
Legal Parking spot blocked by used tires, car that does not run overnight, tire shop use by day.
No sidewalk/ crosswalk, crosswalk not accessable in front of 1526 Neptune. Cars blocking crosswalk on both sides, sidewalk is barricaded since May 2024.
Food bazaar is my local supermarket. There are 2 ways I can get there, wait for the B82 which is one of the worst buses Coney Island has in my opinion or walk slowly and carefully with my children. Cars are double parked and/or blocking the cross way. There's also a corner that's under construction and you have to jay walk. I've made a 311 report on it before. Very dangerous, I have to walk on the street with my stroller and children.
As displayed in the street view image, Legal street parking spot occupied by tire shop jacks by day, tires left on street by night. For sale items blocking Sidewalk and spanning 6+ feet into the street.
Derelict body shop vehicles parked for weeks/ months. Vehicles with fake plates, Expired out of state plates or plates not registered to the vehicle.
Parking on Sidewalk, Derelict body shop vehicles parked for weeks/ months. Vehicles with fake plates, Expired out of state plates or plates not registered to the vehicle. Check google maps you see the same thing year after year on previous and updated google maps street views.
Crossing the street on Neptune & Sheepshead bay road is always stressing and nerve wrecking. We really need a stop sign or street light. It is very dangerous crossing, some cars speed so fast when entering. It's an accident waiting to happen.
The bus needs to be replaced. It was supposed to be a temporary situation. One stop at west 17th and the other at west 23rd
