Traffic PLUS

These car service vehicles keep parking in the bike lane. They sit here unattended for quite a while. The bikes have to swerve into traffic to get around them. Very unsafe.

Something like 30-50 / hr buses try to squeeze through the block of Congress between Paterson Plank and Palisade—plus hundreds of vehicles and pedestrians. The onstreet parking of 20 cars should be banned during the morning rush. It makes difficult for buses to turn and reduces visibility of pedestrians at crosswalks. This would be a minor inconvenience for 20 people easing travel for thousands.

Claremont is a two way street which allows parking on both sides of the street. If two cars are coming in opposite directions there is no room to pass. This street should be a one way street or have parking on only one side

Wayne Street between Monmouth Street and Brunswick Street is considered an Access Easement, but drivers frequently use it as a shortcut to skip the traffic light at Monmouth and Columbus Drive or a shortcut from Brunswick to Monmouth to avoid the traffic light at Montgomery Street. Drivers frequently race down this narrow access easement at high speeds. Previous signage indicating the status of Wayne Street is old and illegible at this point. Please consider posting new signage of the status of Wayne St., multiple speed bumps / humps, a reduced speed limit of 10 or 15mph, and additional enforcement.

Something needs to be done to slow the traffic and acceleration of vehicles traveling west on Columbus. Once they get through the congestion at Grove and pass Jersey Ave, drivers rapidly accelerate and speed from Jersey Ave west past Varick, Monmouth and Brunswick. It’s increasingly dangerous, not to mention a noise nuisance.

Please consider making the right turn from wayne onto grove NO TURN ON RED. Right turn is the only option for cars at this intersection. During a red light, drivers look to their left (but have trouble seeing oncoming cars from grove because of the parked cars there) but as a result do not look to their right whatsoever for pedestrians or bikes who have a green light.

Hi - I am a longtime resident and mom living in Hamilton Park. I’d like to request that the corner of Erie and Pavonia (but really all corners around Cordero) receive the white parking towers that prevent people from parking in the crosswalks.

Two weeks ago after checking repeatedly, a woman who was parked very close to the crosswalk in the location attached hit me and my 6 week old son who was in his bassinet. Last week, I saw it happen again to someone else.

Both times happened after normal school hours, but during Casper after care. I believe installing the white parking towers would prevent possible tragedy by giving a buffer between parked cars and pedestrians. They’re in many other locations in our neighborhood and it seems that surrounding the school should be a priority.

That specific crosswalk does not even have pedestrian signage. Just the crosswalk.

Thank you.

Turning right on Marin while going west on Christopher Columbus is a nightmare. The pedestrian crossing is on and there are traffic trying to get on Marin from both sides of Christopher Columbus. Either have a dedicated right turn signal or dedicated pedestrian crossing signal. There is ton of foot traffic and it’s unsafe for pedestrians and drivers.

At this crossword, there are stop signs for cars but they routinely ignore it. Additionally, the street doesn’t have lane delineations and is wide, so even if a car does stop for a pedestrian, other cars swerve and go around it without realizing there is a crosswalk.

Today a car almost hit my husband in the corner of Newark and Pavonia. They driver was texting and he didn't Stop ( there is a Stop sign). Please add a Traffic light here or one of those small lights you have all over Newark. This is very dangerous, and hundreds of people cross this street everyday

This is the retaining wall in my backyard ! This is just a part of the wall that's crumbling ! The road behind my house (Highview Road ) and my yard is right in front of 30 Highview Road which is now being repaved and I'm sure it's only going to make the wall crumble more !
