The pedestrian cross light at Newark and Summit Ave (crossing from one side of Newark Ave, in front of the library, to the other side) takes a very long time to change. As a result, most pedestrians don’t wait. I strongly suggest that this light is fixed to make it pedestrian friendly and/or that a crosswalk is added here.

Hello. People speed down the road. I think you should add a stop sign. This is between 18 park and the vantage towards the water

There is a signalized intersection on Sip Avenue at the access road to the Journal Square Bus Station. The crosswalk at the western side of the intersection across Sip Avenue is missing. In addition, there is a temporary ramp up to the curb made of asphalt, but it is frequently blocked by parked vehicles. This is one of the main areas of pedestrian access to the bus terminal, and is busy with pedestrian traffic. As a crosswalk is missing and pedestrians frequently need to enter the street around parked cars, it feels very unsafe crossing here, like an accident waiting to happen. At a minimum, the crosswalk should be repainted, and the curb access should be restricted so that cars do not park blocking the crosswalk and ramp.

People continue to park in the limited pedestrian areas along the JSQ buildings forcing people to weave between idling trucks/cars or walk into traffic. This issue has been raised multiple times. Enough is enough -- there are so many actual parking lots in the area so there is no reason for this egregious behavior. The city needs to hold these drivers or the developers accountable.

Hi! There's a new traffic pattern at 9th St. and Manila Ave. Tonight, walking across Manila on a GREEN pedestrian light, I noticed that traffic turning right onto Manilla from 9th Street ALSO has a green at the same time. Cars understandably seem a little peeved having to stop as I walk across, but we both have a green light.

It seems like there is potential for a car to continue through on the green without stopping and hitting a pedestrian who is crossing Manilla on their (simultaneous) green. Please see my image taken Feb 3rd to get an idea.

Since it's a revamped intersection, I figured it's worth flagging ASAP since it's not very safe. There is no obvious indication or flashing "yield to pedestrian" light here for cars who are driving legally through a green light. Thanks for checking this out.

Multiple broken bike racks outside of JC Eco Laundry. Likely because their van continually parks illegally in a pedestrianized space.

Unsafe crosswalk. Just witnessed a person pushing a stroller with a child in it almost get hit trying to cross here. The cars yielded to her, but cars behind them swerved around. Very close to hitting the child in the stroller. The car that did not yield actually honked at her as if she had been in error. A version of this incident has happened to me countless times at this intersection. A stop sign is needed to protect against a tragedy waiting to happen. The speed limit is 25 and signs are posted but defaced- there very little adherence to limiting speed, and awareness of the presence of pedestrians (particularly children from Little Gym, Brunswick center etc.).

Pedestrians do not feel safe crossing over Tonnelle at Van Winkle.

The city really needs to do a traffic safety study at this location The crosswalks on Newport Parkway just east of Washington boulevard are very dangerous Cars fly through here and do not stop for pedestrians in the cross walk It's been requested months ago, but the city hasn't done a thing Someone is going to get hurt or killed Let's address this issue

Hello - the visibility on south at New York is very bad. Cars park right up to the corner and there is no stop sign on South. Pedestrians have to walk way out to the street to see if cars are coming. Could we haveaC stop sign installed and enforce no parking to the corner Thank you.?CCuneeopeaC

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
