That will definitely slow things down.Ajlounyhttp://www.nyautoaccidentlaw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-73509414957306277392009-07-16T12:22:18.747-07:002009-07-16T12:22:18.747-07:00Another huge contributor to the danger of this int...Another huge contributor to the danger of this intersection is the habitual illegal parking on its corners. During the day, more often than not, vehicles are parked blocking the NE curb cut in front of the bodega AND in the fire zone in front of the grocery. Often large trucks. This creates an enormous blind stop for anyone travelling on President Street. Perhaps scofflaws could be discouraged by actual enforcement of these parking codes.madlydeeplytrulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060491329572100502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-18954747707858074152009-05-12T11:22:00.000-07:002009-05-12T11:22:00.000-07:00I also think the because the B61 bus has 4 blocks ...I also think the because the B61 bus has 4 blocks between stops here, they're the worst on Columbia when they speed up. I completely agree there at least needs to be a stop sign put in here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-50109451964186466612009-05-12T11:19:00.000-07:002009-05-12T11:19:00.000-07:00If I'm remembering right, the 4-way stop is at Sum...If I'm remembering right, the 4-way stop is at Summit, not Carroll.
