Traffic PLUS

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.

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.

Cars do not stop at the crosswalk for pedestrians at the corner of Arlington Ave. and Harmon St. The stop sign is hidden and not visible.

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 !

There are cars constantly parked blocking the pedestrian cross in Van Vorst St and Grand St this is a safety issue for all the kids that go to the schools in the area I understand from the crossing officer that this are cars owned by people that work in the firefighter house and that's the reasons enforcement doesn't take care of the issue If that is the case, it is unfortunate that they don't lead by example, and other measures should be take to protect the pedestrians at this corner

For driving south on Jersey Avenue at the Christopher Columbus Drive intersection, there is a desperate need for a left turn traffic light. There is a day care at 532 Jersey Avenue so there are a lot of parents dropping off their children on Jersey Avenue. And Jersey Avenue is a very busy road. When drivers are going south on Jersey Avenue and want to turn left on Christopher Columbus Drive there are too many cars going straight from the opposite direction (driving north on Jersey Avenue) so the drivers trying to turn left are stuck and usually have to try to force their way in. This is very dangerous and I have already seen numerous almost accidents. And, often times there are parents and children crossing Christopher Columbus Drive that almost get hit because the driver on Jersey Avenue trying to turn left is trying to rush to make it before the next car going straight reaches them. It is a very dangerous intersection and I think it needs a left turn signal.

There needs to be a light at this turn onto Ferry St. Just this morning, multiple cars turned at a high speed from Central Ave onto Ferry St and one of them nearly hit a pedestrian. Central Ave along the park is dangerous to pedestrians, children, and dogs.

The intersection of Sherman Place and Summit is perilous for pedestrians because cars race between the traffic lights at Manhattan and Hutton Streets. Drivers rarely stop for us when trying to cross, even when holding the hands of our children. There was yet another accident on Saturday when a car driving from Manhattan Ave to Hutton hit a car that was trying to make a left onto Summit — which is never easy. We need this intersection to become a 3-way Stop. The city added signs to stop for pedestrians a couple of years ago but the cars knocked them over and they were removed. It’s dangerous and unfair. I’ve lived her for 18 years and it only gets worse.

intersection of pavonia and summit needs either a light for each direction of pavonia or a turn lane/turn signal

We need bollards, poles, planters, or some other sort of physical deterrent to prevent vehicles from parking on the sidewalk on Baldwin Ave between NJ 139 and Fleet St. I observe personal, delivery, and city vehicles parking on the sidewalk here on a weekly basis. The barriers that are installed further north on Baldwin (poles between Fleet and St Pauls as well as between Hopkins and Beacon) seem to help to an extent. Please can this be replicated along the length of Baldwin Ave on the sides of the street with no parking to prevent this dangerous driver behavior? Baldwin Ave is on the city's high injury network, and the intersections at 139 and Jefferson are no strangers to tragic crashes.

Knucklehead drivers or deliverers knocked these down.
