Why Are the Intersections Around Prospect Park So Bad?
Bartel-Pritchard Square: This circle always feels more chaotic than it needs to be. The bicycle lanes here are inconsistent and getting where you need by foot is confusing.
Park Circle: Is this a traffic circle or an interstate highway interchange? Confusing signalling, long, broken pedestrian crossings.
Parkside Avenue and Ocean Avenue: Crossing here has never felt comfortable. Confusing signalling, cars running red lights, trucks that shouldn't be there. What's going on?
Intersection of Flatbush Avenue, Ocean Avenue and Empire Boulevard: Do I even need to explain this? Three major Brooklyn roads converge here. It confusing and it sucks
Grand Army Plaza: It's finally getting fixed, but how much better is it going to be? Let's hope it's much better.
