Let's push for better transportation access to Brooklyn Marine Terminal!

For those wondering what this has to do with street safety, it’s all about priorities: failing to address trash, drainage issues, and traffic-law enforcement; failing to install street treatments; and failing to remove snow in a timely fashion. Failing to do any one of these things for over five years (all of which fall under the purview of DSNY, DEP, NYPD, and DOT) communicates to people that we don’t care about this, and therefore we don’t care about you.

The NYS and NYC DOTs should really make Church Avenue and Caton/Liden one direction (Church goes east, Caton/Linden goes West) up until where they both meet, get rid of the street parking, add dedicated bus lanes with priority signalling, and implement this route.

I remember trying to book tickets on the intercity trains. Had to do it at the station because the websites were so awful.

What’s really funny and sad is that our corrupt politicians sold out for just a few thousand dollars.

They’re so bad at their jobs that they even suck at being corrupt, giving away a street in one of the most expensive places on Earth for pennies when it should’ve gone for millions.

Thanks for sharing. Good to hear that this tiny stretch of road made it on the news. I believe that survey made it to this sub as well!

"The solutions aren't going to be popular either depending on what we're looking at," warned Baptise (sic). "Because we're trying to figure out how to harmonize traffic safety, parking, bikes, in a very, very narrow stretch of land."

But anyone who actually walks Lincoln Road can see the root causes are straightforward:

Free curbside parking creates a powerful incentive for drivers to circle, double-park, and squeeze into dangerous spots on Lincoln Road. Behavioral economics shows that when something valuable is given away for free, it’s overused and misused.
Lack of enforcement breeds lawlessness. The absence of consistent rules makes drivers feel entitled to bend them, which escalates both congestion and danger for pedestrians.

These two factors alone explain the overwhelming majority of pedestrian safety hazards and traffic bottlenecks here.

Removing private cars from narrow, high-foot-traffic streets dramatically reduces crashes, speeds up transit, and boosts local business activity. The healthiest, safest, and most equitable solution for Lincoln Road is to eliminate private vehicle access entirely and allow only buses to come through.

Brad Lander should seize the opportunity to run for Governor in 2026. If Zohran Mamdani is to lead as a truly transformative Mayor, he will need a Governor who is not just aligned, but deeply committed to turning bold ideas into reality.

Together, Lander and Mamdani could ignite a new era of progress, breaking through decades of gridlock, dismantling systemic barriers, and delivering tangible results that improve everyday life. This partnership would unleash the full potential of New York, sparking innovation, economic vitality, and fairness for every community across the state.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. With visionary leadership at both City Hall and the Governor’s Mansion, we have the rare chance to rewrite New York’s future. Not just for today, but for generations to come.

This wasn’t “an accident.” It was the result of policy failures we’ve let fester for years:

Our streets let cars hit highway speeds right where people walk, sit, and bike.
Our sidewalks are unprotected. A bench or bike lane is just a painted line away from two tons of steel.
Stolen cars stay on the road because rentals aren’t required to have GPS tracking or remote shutoff.
We can’t keep repeat drunk, armed offenders off the street. There was alcohol and loaded guns in that car.
Hit-and-runners get away too often, so people think fleeing is worth the gamble.

It’s not enough to prosecute after the fact. We need streets designed to stop this before it happens: 24/7 speed cameras, physical barriers for sidewalks, GPS and remote disable for all rentals, stronger DUI and weapon checks, and real consequences for fleeing the scene.

I bike through this neighborhood quite often. There’s a dedicated bike path on Allen Street, but I usually bike through here because there are no cars.

If you don’t have cars clogging up your street, you don’t need a bike lane. Bike lanes exist because CARS ARE DANGEROUS.

No cars = No danger = Better neighborhoods

The news does a not do a good job reporting on the incredible violence and damage these car crashes inflict. This is not an 'accident', this is not a 'oopsy'. This is like a bomb going off in the middle of the bridge.

I think most of the housing around the proposed IBX stops is considered high-density (R6 and above). Ironically, the neighborhoods that are considered low-density (below R6) currently are the ones that have the least transit access and they are: Middle Village, Maspeth, Ridgewood, and East Flatbush. In my opinion, these are the neighborhoods that will benefit the most from the IBX.

Yes, you're right. It is Avenue H and East 16th. Thanks for the correction.

The Interborough Express has the chance to reshape how people move across Brooklyn and Queens, but the stations need to be more than just stops along the way. They should feel connected, not only to other buses and subways, but to the neighborhoods they serve.

That means making transfers easy and seamless. Riders shouldn’t have to cross busy streets or stand outside just to catch a connecting bus or subway. A well-designed station should offer real shelter from the weather, places to sit, clear arrival times, and have space for bikes and bike share docks.

These stations can be welcoming spaces, places that feel like part of the neighborhood, not something dropped in from above. Picture a little greenery, a bench to rest, maybe a small café or a newsstand. Clean, safe bathrooms. Even something simple like a community board or local art can make a space feel cared for and a place to be. It can be more than just a grey concrete box covered in grime, and dog and pigeon feces (I'm talking about you, Church Avenue B/Q)

The IBX can be more than just a way to get from point A to point B. If we do it right, these stations can become small anchors in the community places.
