Description

The intersection of Bergen Avenue and Academy Street is a busy intersection with high levels of traffic, particularly pedestrians. Although the new dedicated left turn lanes have helped, as a motorist, it is difficult to make left turns from Bergen onto Academy, or right turns from Academy onto Bergen, due to the high volume of pedestrian crossings. However, as a pedestrian, it is an important crossing in a central area approaching a heavily utilized commercial corridor, and the safe crossing of pedestrians should be promoted and maintained.
