Trucks are illegally parked along this stretch of Shore Parkway service road. Some look to be abandoned. These wide vehicles create a safety hazard.

All of the bike lanes are blocked by triple-parked cars from the auto repair shops. Abandoned cars, tools, equipment, and garbage from the auto businesses block bike lanes and driving lanes. THIS IS NOT LEGAL?! WHY ISN'T THERE ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC LAWS?? NEPTUNE AVENUE, FROM 19TH STREET TO STILLWELL AVENUE, AND ALL OF CROPSEY AVE BETWEEN HART PLACE AND NEPTUNE IS A DANGEROUS HELL HOLE FOR CYCLISTS, DRIVERS, AND PEDESTRIANS.THIS HAS GONE ON MUCH TOO LONG. IT HAS TO STOP!!

On Stillwell Avenue between Neptune Avenue and Surf Avenue, wherever parking is prohibited, the curb space is consistently filled with personal vehicles belonging to MTA employees who place orange vests in their windshields. Even in areas with posted signs designating “TAXI/FHV PICK-UP / DROP-OFF ONLY,” the entire stretch is occupied by these illegally parked vehicles. Traffic enforcement appears to knowingly ignore this behavior, which not only undermines the posted rules but also contributes directly to double-parking and unsafe congestion conditions on the block.

Cell phone charging stations are needed along the Boardwalk. To be successful, they must be designed in a way that makes them less likely to be tampered with, ensuring reliability for visitors.

The public restrooms at Stillwell Avenue on the Boardwalk need an upgrade. This is possibly the busiest, most frequented, and most relied-upon restroom in the entire amusement area, serving both visitors and businesses. Additionally, restroom hours are a recurring issue each spring. From the first day of Spring until Memorial Day Weekend, Boardwalk restrooms typically close around 4–5 PM — even on mild days when the Boardwalk is crowded and public schools are closed. Extending hours to 8 PM (or sundown), whichever is earlier, from the first day of spring through beach opening — even only on non-school days — would make a meaningful difference. Even a partial extension, focused on the busiest restrooms such as Stillwell (Coney Island Amusement Area) and those in Brighton Beach, would greatly improve accessibility during this busy window.

The existing metered and 2-hour time-limited parking currently available in the Coney Island Amusement Area is critical for visitors and businesses. It is imperative that the current number of available spots is not reduced. With heightened importance to the following three streets between Surf Ave and the Boardwalk — Stillwell Ave, West 15th Street, and West 10th Street — with utmost importance placed on Stillwell Ave. Please note that current meter data is not an accurate measure of usage, as Traffic Enforcement does not actively enforce the 2-hour time limit.

On the south side of Surf Ave between West 15th and Stillwell (Nathan’s Famous block), DOT should consider establishing a short-term curb zone to accommodate both customers and app-based delivery drivers picking up food orders. The goal would be to maximize the number of spots available on this block for this use by designating them as a Passenger Loading Zone (15-minute limit) for quick food pickups, with clear signage indicating that the spaces are for both customers and delivery drivers.

Since June 2020, available metered street parking during the summer in the Coney Island Amusement Area (between Surf Ave and the Boardwalk) has most often been inaccessible due to routine, unpermitted daily and nightly STREET CLOSURES. The blocks affected include West 15th, Stillwell Ave, West 12th, and West 10th. (While West 12th does not allow parking, it is frequently filled with illegally parked cars.)

On the Pedestrian Mobility Map, the Coney Island Amusement Area is categorized as a “Neighborhood Corridor.” This seems miscategorized — a “Global Corridor” would be far more appropriate given the volume of pedestrian activity and tourism.
