Turn Notre Dame Drive back into a 2-way street Archived

1 Notre Dame Dr Albany, NY 12208, USA - Albany

Since the city of Albany decided to make the first half of Notre Dame drive a one-way street by Albany Law, traffic leaving the university heights area has been a living nightmare ESPECIALLY in inclement weather (which includes snow AND rain). Several times in the last year alone it has taken me more than one hour to go from outside the Law school to Clara Barton Drive (which should also have a light at its exit onto Hackett). This issue has only gotten worse as the pharmacy school has taken over the old transportation building and increased traffic. Why was the change made, and couldn't the city do a traffic study on this area to alleviate the congestion? In gridlocked conditions, people make Notre Dame a two-way street anyway - just to make it out onto Holland without running out of gas waiting in your car for SOMEONE to move. There should also be a left-turning signal and separate lane on Princeton Drive's exit onto Holland Ave, as it is nearly impossible to make a left-hand turn at rush hour especially with the VA traffic.

  I completely agree! There is no reason for this street to be one way - especially with the addition of the traffic lights on Holland.

  In a time where we are all trying to be environmentally conscious, making ALS entrance 1 way in and forcing them to go all the way around to the light in order to get back out on Holland Ave, is a terrible waste of resources in that several hundred people are adding over 1/2 mile to their trip which adds up to many gallons of gas wasted for no reason. With the new lights on Holland, there is no excuse for keeping Notre Dame Dr one way!!

  I work in the area and have a horrible experience leaving every night. The traffic is absolutely horrendous, and there is no reason why it should be taking me over an hour to get home - 6 miles away. I strongly agree that Notre Dame should be turned into a 2 way or there should be a left only lane onto Holland somewhere. While you're at it Albany...
  
  Please re-pave New Scotland. It has thrown my car out of alignment on more than one occassion and you expect ambulances, with injured people in them, to drive up and down these pot hole filled roads. I know they jerk my car to the point hurts to go over them sometimes, I can't imagine having to go over them under life threatening circumstances.
  
  I understand that it is winter time, and things like this should be expected, and they are... but the road problems in the area have gotten out of control. Does anyone know if there is someone in particular that can be contacted regarding this problem?

SINKHOLE Archived

139 Lancaster St Albany, NY 12210, USA - Center Square

Crews worked on this street before the winter and either did a bad job filling it in or the past couple of rain/snow storms have created a 5 feet wide hole that has every car bottoming out when they drive by no matter what their speed.

  it looks like they filled it in but it's definitely going to get worse in the spring with rain and warmer weather. STAY ON TOP OF THIS!

Dangerous pothole Archived

Washington Ave And Fuller Road Intersection Of New Road Work Albany, NY - Central Avenue

Dangerous pothole in the left-turning lane off Fuller Rd to go to east onto Washington Avenue, about 5pm Sunday evening. It's a dangerous area: there's a car with its back-up lights on in the middle of the round-a-bout, in with the worker's supplies, another car crossing through the round-a-bout to make a left turn and I'm watching out for these stupid drivers and I ruin my tire and rim in a crevice in the intersection of this nice, new road! It's a newly-made road...why is it torn up already?? What will it look like, in a couple months, after the snow plows and salters have gone over it? Where's the "quality products" and the "pride in a job well-done"? Not in Albany. I am glad that I don't live in Albany.

Missing one-way street sign Acknowledged

Wendell Street Albany, New York - Albany

This used to be a one-way street, but I believe snow plows ripped the Street & One Way signs out (corner Wendell & Howard St) a couple years ago. The street name sign was replaced but the one-way was never replaced.

Not sure if this was on purpose, due to trucks going in/out of Pepsi arena parking lot can't make the corner at Beaver/Wendell, so they go straight up the hill.

Wendell St is a single lane street. Cars rip down this street without looking, so if a car is coming up the street (unaware this was a one-way), this is a dangerous situation. You cannot see cars coming down Howard street due to the Wellington Garage on the corner. If a car turns right down Wendell, it's collision time...

If it's supposed to be a two-way street, there is no room for two cars. Please post a one-way or "single lane" sign at the corner of Howard/Wendell and bottom of the hill at Beaver/Wendell (with "do not enter/one-way) at bottom.
