Most Dangerous and Haphazard Intersection Archived

340-350 Lark St Albany, NY 12210, USA - Albany

This intersection is the worst, for cars, bikes, pedestrians. No one follows the rules of the road and I avoid it at all costs, even though I live right down the street, I take the long way home.

I understand your idea of a roundabout, but as a resident of that area, i can tell you that the motorists that typically travel that route are not the smartest and that would confuse them even more. also, as Madison transitions from 2 lanes to 1 lane going eastbound toward the plaza and museum, it wouldn't work because of the bottleneck issues. I think what they really need is to more effectively use the priority arrows, install cameras at the intersection to ticket offenders, and repaint the lanes, as many motorists get confused easily.

Maybe the City of Albany should completely re-think the whole Lark St. corridor and turn it into a "pedestrian-only" street. I'm usually not in favor of doing things like that, but I think if the City of Albany took a good long look at the chaotic nature of the streets down in that area and just worked with simple geometry, they could come up with a better alternative than the jumble of traffic that exists there now.

While a roundabout would be nice in theory, I believe this corridor is too small for one and would easily get backed up when traffic piles up on Madison going east bound during rush hour. Clear lane paint and priority lighting would be the quickest and cheapest solution. However, transition Lark St to a pedestrian mall, at least during non-rush hour time periods would be great. Unfortunately such a concept would be too grand for our car obsessed suburbanites who pass through.

End bicycle prohibition Archived

S Mall Arterial Albany, NY 12207, USA - Albany

Bicycles should be permitted in the traffic lanes under the Plaza, on the Arterial and across the Dunn Bridge. The only reasonable explanation they are not allowed is that traffic is too fast. The simple solution to that would be enforcing the 30 mph limit as the painted sign under the Plaza claims is "strictly" done. The current lawlessness here has created a situation where driving under 50 causes road rage.

Even at 30 mph, most cyclists would quickly be overtaken and in serious risk of injury or death.

As opposed to every other city street where they wouldn't be overtaken at 30 mph?

Bike lane needed Archived

359 Northern Blvd Albany, NY 12204, USA - North Albany-Shaker Park

Route 9 in Albany, for the 1/2 mile from Northern Blvd north to the city line, is not safe to bike on due to the high-speed traffic and a too-narrow shoulder. Is there any chance a bike/ped lane could be built on the empty land that runs between the curb and the golf course? I know money's tight but I don't think it'd involve much more than moving a few signs and putting down some blacktop.

Alleyway being used as a landfill/drug stash area Archived

193 2nd Ave Albany, NY 12202, USA - Second Avenue

Alleyway for abandoned house, had several filled trash cans spilling over with bottles/cans some partially empty, household items such as baskets, buckets, umbrella and bags, along with fast food garbage and flies; alley is also being used as a public bathroom and a spot to stash drugs. The backyard is being used as a bike parking lot, with a table and chairs set up along with other household items not previously there. This issue has been brought to the City's attention twice and the Albany Police Department. The City came and cleaned out the alley and backyard, and cut down the overgrowth. This was just recently resolved and is being formally addressed here.
