- Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?
- 3rd avenue and 127th street
- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- as drivers exit the third avenue bridge coming from the bronx to manhattan, many folks/cars/trucks get bunched up right there on 128th.. along the harlem river park going to 2nd avenue, to then either go south on 2nd avenue or to make that turn to go over the triborough bridge to queens. HOWEVER, IF you changed the traffic direction between 127th street and 128th street on third avenue to go 'south' for only 1 block to 127th, then folks bunched up on 128th street there by harlem river park, can easily just make the right turn on 3rd avenue, and then immediately make a left onto 127th street to goto 2nd avenue south, and be on their way, without getting caught up in all the traffic along 128th planning on going over the triborough bridge. you may ask, well what about the folk that want to go upto 128th on third avenue... well there no place for them to go actually, and they can only make that right on 128th, and then theyre back in the congesiton... but let say a driver is driving up 3rd avenue towards the triborough, well then they make the right on 127th.. BUT that 1 block (in front of the 'kings academy') can easily take much of the traffic backed up on 128th, and cleanly route them to 127th and then on their way down 2nd avenue. Currently, i always, always see drivers, 'backing up their cars' on that block to goto 127th to goto 2nd avenue south)
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- change the direction of the traffic to go 'south' on 3rd avenue for only 1 block, 128th to 127th., and place little barrioers on 127th and 3rd ave. directing all traffic to make right on 127th street. this way they can goto the bridge, as well 2nd avenue South traffic can easily goto 127th and then to 2nd avenue south.
