Starting 30-40min before Mark Twain/I.S.239 school ends their classes, parents of the students double-park their cars for 3-5 blocks in both directions, on both sides completely blocking the bike lanes. Please convert Neptune Avenue to have a segregated bike lane by swapping bike lane with parking lane. This will make cycling on Neptune Avenue much safer and will prevent double-parking traffic violations.
This intersection is like a real-life Frogger game for pedestrians. This intersection is extremely busy and very dangerous. Based on the traffic lights patterns, cars ALWAYS ignore yellow and often ignore red, making these LONG pedestrian crossings very dangerous. I don't know how this intersection could be improved, but I'm dreading every time I have to cross it.
During the day hours the bike lane on Neptune Ave between West 5th and West 6th streets, especially in front of NetCost supermarket is ALWAYS blocked by double-parked cars. Please convert this block into a protected bike lane by swapping the bike lane and the parking lane to prevent this blatant continual and habitual traffic violations. This shopping center has free roof-top parking lot. There's no reason for people to block this bike lane. Dozens and dozens reports to 311 result in (occasionally) cops rolling by, turning on their sirens for a few moments, double-parked cars scatter and then come back 30sec after cops leave. With so much traffic on this block I'm dreading riding there because I know I'll have to swerve into the fast-moving car lanes. Please convert this block into a protected bike lane by swapping the bike lane and the parking lane.
We need to increase the bus service on Cropsey Avenue go to and from Coney Island.
This is a high problem srea. It's a 2 lane turn and people turn in 3 lanes due to the congestion as they are trying to ho to work and get there kids to school on time. It's a huge safety concern. I'm shocked there have not been more injuries at this intersection. On the other side, due to the auto shops, the 2 lanes turning onto Neptune from Crospey have to merge into one lane which is also dangerous and causes congestion. This will only get worse as the new developments get filled.
The study needs to also be done during the school season to collect a full picture of the huge amount of traffic that comes into the area causing huge congestion from parents and others in addition to those coming on for the amusement . You also need to quantify how much additional traffic will be added based on all the new buildings once they are occupied. I reside in Sea Gate and it's always a struggle to get out of the area on Neptune avenue. The current directi ok n of the streets leads everyone to Neptune and causes a back up to Sea Gate. It's very dangerous. It impacts emergency vehicles from getting to us timely. Robbin Paraison
Please make sure these studies are done during the summer days as well. Traffic in this area is unbearable and we can't continue to be trapped. In addition I noticed you placed upcoming projects. Unless DOT isn't listening a casino is in the works. We need to add to the upcoming projects. Which will add additional traffic all hours of the day.
