CARS FROM ALL MECHANIC SHOPS ALONG THIS STREET AND INTERSECTING STREET (NEPTUNE) CONTINUOUSLY BLOCK THE SIDEWALK AND STREET MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UTILIZE FOR WALKING & DRIVING
1) The boardwalk from Coney Island Avenue to West 32nd Street and Steeplechase Pier need major repairs. Nails are popped up everywhere and boards are broken. Some weak looking strips of metal tape appear to be holding planks together. And the plywood boards are already deteriorating. Wood benches are stained and broken. Almost a decade of disrepair. Please fix these things for all pedestrians’ safety and enjoyment (and tourist $$$$). 2) Ban electric bikes and scooters entirely from the boardwalk. They are a menace to pedestrian safety and public use. They are ruining the already deteriorating wooden boards and popping up nails everywhere. The ridiculous signs that say no scooters or e-bikes probably cost more to design and install than assigning a permanent ‘quality of life’ team to enforce the law.
add lighting and benches along the bike lanes. and whatever happened to the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative that was supposed to run from Bay Parkway to Home Depot and to Knapp Street, along Cropsey?
The left turn lane on Cropsey at Neptune (going south) is ignored for the most part by drivers who illegally go straight across Neptune to 17th Street. So many near collisions! Also, some people illegally turn left from the center lane and cut off drivers making the legal left turn from the proper lane. All of this confusion is further complicated by the car repair shops who block all sides of all the streets in this area! Completely illegal parking that's ignored by the police and traffic control Something has to be done about this. It's a crisis. Why has nothing been done to stop the illegal double parking?
On West 12th at Surf Ave, below the elevated line, transit police park their private cars on the sidewalk, sticking out into the street, all day, every day. This is a "NO STANDING" zone. Creates a dangerous situation for cars and busses turning at this intersection. Also blocks pedestrians. This is a narrow street and if a truck or bus is making a turn, they are blocked by the illegally parked cars until traffic clears. This causes traffic jams and backups onto Surf Avenue.
Please put up a chain link fence by the bridges that would prevent trespassers and their illicit activities.
The municipal parking lot for residents is about $600 for the quarter. That is simply an astronomical price to expect the older adults on fixed incomes to pay. Please make it affordable again
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!!
Cropsey Avenue has double parked cars, and triple parked cars, all belonging to the body shops and auto repair shops. They block fire hydrants, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and all traffic coming in and out of Coney Island. This mess extends onto Neptune Avenue from 17th Street to Stillwell Avenue. This is illegal and dangerous and it's been going on for much too long. It needs to be stopped!!
