Cars Speeding Toward Golden Hill on Residential Street Archived

Glen St Kingston, NY - Kingston

The back entrance to the Golden Hill Nursing Home is on Glen Street, and cars and trucks frequently speed down it, as there is no stop sign for about a half mile stretch. Can anything be done to ensure the safety of the children and other residents of this otherwise pleasant street? Perhaps speed bumps approaching the stop sign at Golden Hill, or a lowered speed limit sign?

Cars Speeding Toward Golden Hill on Glen Street Open

Glen St Kingston, NY - Kingston

This is an otherwise pleasant, residential street that dead ends at Golden Hill Nursing Home. The only stop sign is about a half mile from the GH entrance, at the corner of Marius & Greenkill. Cars and trucks zoom along our street, seemingly without regard for the children and other residents. Is there anything that can be done to ensure safety-- speed bumps, a lowered speed limit sign, etc?

  I agree. The posted 30mph limit is routinely flouted.
  Maybe a couple of strategically place speed bumps or KPD handing out the odd ticket could help calm matters?

  I have also noticed that it's not just the cars going towards Golden Hill that are the problem - those leaving seem to be in even more of a hurry!

Speeding, No Stopping, Loud Music. Open

96 Newkirk Ave Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

Cars are comming down Newkirk Ave. speeding, playing very loud music at all hours of the day and night and into the early mornings hours and cars are not stopping at the corners of Newkirk Ave and Maple St. They also come from Maple St. and not stop to go up Newkrik Ave.
I've seen kids come down Newkirk Ave on their bike's and one of these days someone is going to get killed. I've already had in the past and just last year, cars crashed into my gate and now into my fence. I've already asked to have the guardrail I asked to have installed, to have it extended around the corner. I was told that this will be done. I am also making videos of these problems to show if needed. Five DVD videos have been given to the police to look at, and each contains about 40 scenes.
Thank You.

We also have to think of young kids and babys that have to listen to this while sleeping. Have you seen kids who jump or shutter in there sleep when loud sounds happen. How does this affect them mentaly.

Dangerous Street, probably illegal Archived

Belmont St Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

Belmont Street is a disgrace and I doubt if it is even legal from a safety/code standpoint. Entering Belmont wreaks havoc on one's vehicle and exiting is like a game of russian roulette. The steep grade makes it difficult to pull out and if there is snow or wet surface you can get stuck halfway on West O'Reilly spinning your tires. Add that now with spring growth you cannot see traffic from the left and you are basically taking your life in your hands anytime you pull out. I get complaints from family, friends and delivery drivers and there are even people who will not come over because of this man-made disaster.

  Hi Ms Turco-Levin! Thank you for the information and its good to know the new Chief is taking you/us serious. I understand some posts do fall through the cracks; we are all human. I have not only had 1 problem but three now on the street. I've lived here for all most 2 years and I have lost a cat, my dog got hit ( I know he is my responsibility and should not be loose, he was a puppy and escaped) and now the accident. All three are serious, but the accident is the icing on the cake. I am just thankful no children have been hurt. I have walked with two 1st grade classes from Edson to Micky's igloo and a car scared all 50 + kids because he speed around the corner fast and did NOT slow down.

  It is an ongoing problem. Nothing has ever been discussed to address it. No cops have done a speed radar on Snyder or parked to witness it, nor has the alderman asked me or the neighborhood to come together to discuss it. There are several cars that come by daily the gun it. I would like to know if a speed bump would be possible? A " Children at Play" sign will not work. A few months ago a Sheriffs van gunned it coming off of Hurley onto Snyder and nipped a garbage can right before the house I was talking in front of. I physically had to jump back because his tires were on the side walk. Snyder is small; the side I was on at the time porch/front door is not far from the sidewalk. I was about 5 feet away.... Imagine if this was a Sheriffs van how other non officials drive down the road.

Broken streetlights Archived

595 Broadway Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

The new streetlights outside UPAC look nice... except that two of them have no globes any more. One's got a naked light bulb, the other doesn't even have that.

The lights need to be fixed, both for safety and to keep the block from looking run down.

Speeding on Delaware Ave. and dangerous entry from side roads. Open

490 Delaware Ave Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

This street has become a dragstrip and a danger to anyone living or using the street. In just a 1/4 mile strip there is a school, a church, a church building used weekly for bingo, a heavily used hall, a bar, a salon, a pizza parlor, and two delis. In my 16+ years of living here, I have seen at least a handful of accidents every year. I've seen multiple pets struck and killed. I have even seen a child hit by a speeding car. There is another post on here about the dangers of exiting Second Avenue. The same can be said for when turning up Delaware from the street next to the White Eagle. There are two simple things that would virtually eliminate both problems. One involves no new equipment. Just a reprogramming of what is already there.

First, the light at Murray and Delaware should never be made a blinking YELLOW light for Delaware Avenue traffic. This gives a straight run from the Delaware turn by Poppy's Pizza all the way to the S-turns near Hasbrouck Park with nothing to slow traffic. Anyone who thinks a YELLOW light will slow traffic is just being naive. A flashing RED light, or better yet, a light that stays RED until you approach it, would solve that sections speed problem.

Second, there needs to be a three-way blinking RED light at the intersection of Delaware And Second Ave. Not STOP signs. Many of the patrons of the local businesses have large trucks that would block the signs. There are far too many businesses in that small strip for there to be nothing to slow traffic. We certainly can't expect the patrons of the businesses to find somewhere else to park. A three-way blinking RED light would not only slow traffic, but would guarantee a safe entry on to Delaware from Second Ave. which solves both problems.

speeding on Pearl St. west of Washington Open

375 Pearl St Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

you take your life in your hands driving on Pearl St., nevermind trying to go for a walk there. Drivers seem to have issues with moving to avoid pedestrians, as though they had the right of way rather than the pedestrians, and most drive way too fast for what is still a residential area in the city. Part of the problem seems to be that young drivers see it as an exhilarating drive where they can test their skill, not to single out young drivers or anything, they should just have to wait a few years longer to get their licenses, that's all. In any case, some traffic enforcement, starting with one of those radar speed readouts, would be appropriate here. Of course, that might be an invitation for record attempts, but maybe a patrol car could accompany the device. Try morning and afternoon school drive time, city revenue will increase.

Dangerous Intersection Open

592-698 Delaware Ave Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

Speeding traffic on Hasbrouck Avenue, illegal turns onto Livingston Street and cars going the wrong way on the Delaware Avenue one way street have created many fender benders here. Also cars trying to pass on Hasbrouck Avenue (heading toward East Chester Street) have crashed numerous times into a telephone pole on the SIDEWALK.
What would be a plausible solution? A traffic circle? Speed bumps? A four way traffic light?

  @ Gerald Burke. Would be nice to "know your alderman." Been on this street ove five years and have never met the alderman. Neither have my neighbors. Nobody heard from him until the election period when the postcard came through the mail. Who is Bill Reynolds? The only alderman who has shown any concern for this block is Mike Madsen, who is now Legislator. Madsen still cares and still shows up. Don't know that Reynolds guy.

  I "know" my alderman: that's Shirley Whitlock... I can contact her if I really work at it, getting a reply, that's something else. Getting just information without having to ask: that doesn't happen.
  Bill Reynolds, oh so you're the ward that give us that guy... thanks but no thanks :-)
  He's the majority leader of the council: I've seen him give two lame, annual, "state of the city" reports, where he was blown away by Andi Levin, polite and competent. The democratic council just lets that stuff happen.
  I think Bill will be stepping down? if he's not, wow, now's your chance.
  Andi Levin was pushing for term limits... something, that to my mind, would work not so much to get a democrat replaced by a republican but get an unsatisfactory incumbent out and replaced by a competent member of the party.
  Bill does have a blog, but he writes to it just about not at all and interacts with people less.
  If Bill is running, ouch... that's bad. Anyone opposing him? Can we go for a write in?
  They have a strong mayoral candidate in Hayes, and those guys will come in on his coat tails, and Hayes is not likely to work against his party's candidates... he had to listen, silently with the rest of us, through 2 of Reynolds "state of the city"... But I do fear the Republicans... I mean, even Cahill, doesn't want to marry same sex couples, wants to give incentive money to small business to stay... no way he could have field tested those ideas...

  Here is one of the vehicles from the April 2012 car accident at this intersection. The two lanes on the overpass over Route 9W appear to continue around the turn onto Hasbrouck Avenue. This can be deceiving because the lanes merge into one. Unfortunately for this driver there was not room for two vehicles around the turn, especially with oncoming traffic headed Eastbound on Hasbrouck Ave. This photo shows the tow truck retrieving the vehicle from the ravine, as it landed, on it's roof. Living trees refrained the car from sliding down into the abandoned trolley tracks just feet away.

  Good Morning,
  
  The point that seems to need clarification is that reporting something on SeeClickFix is a proactive step towards resolving the problem. This is a forum for addressing problems, not just complaining about them.
  
  If you click on 'Where did this report go?' to the right of the screen, you'll see all of the individuals who were notified about issues reported in this area. As you can see, several of the people listed are aldermen, who have the ability to impact things like where police resources are deployed, and other municipal issues. Therefore, they can use the feedback from this site to make real changes.
  
  I just want to help everyone understand what the goal of SeeClickFix is. If you have any questions about this, feel free to email contact@seeclickfix.com.

  Kevin, it's nice to know that the complaints don't fall on deaf ears (or blind eyes!). But sometimes it makes more sense for someone to directly contact the appropriate (i.e., concerned) parties. Perhaps you could include a "directory" (include names, numbers, and perhaps email) of people to contact for particular complaints; e.g., Central Hudson for a street light outage. It's amazing what people don't know - many people don't know who their alderman or town board member, etc., is.

  The State allows the assessor to lower the value of your property for any and all contiguous or adjacent nuisance factor(s) up to 10 of them per parcel. In this case, I would award you five of them, 50%, as that is about as much chance I would give you that they will ever do a job good enough for your tastes, and as we know, there is no accounting for them.

A lot of people complain about speeding, but we can't expect the police to do anything about it if they are guilty as well. I understand police need to drive fast sometimes, but speeding through neighborhoods without your lights and siren on is pretty unsafe. How about a fighting chance Kingston?

  @hiybbprqag: I measure their speed just like any other person would. I watch them coming and going by at a high rate of speed. I would also like to point out that I'm not the one that submitted any issue on speeding. I'm just giving my 2 cents.
  
  @Kingston Neighborhood Watch: I also realize that we have a lack of police in the city and they must be able to get calls or emergencies fast but that is not what I'm referring to. I've on numerous occasions seen police,sheriffs & troopers speeding, running stop signs/red lights without any emergency lights on nor using their sirens.
  
  It all boils down to the fact that this issue is very serious. They like every other Kingston resident must follow the rules of the road. Its sad to say but I doubt anything will be done until one of us gets hurt.

  Robert is correct - all police agencies are required to obey the rules of the road unless their emergency lights and sirens are on. I've seen KPD blow through stop signs, not use their directional signals and talking on the cell phone (all at the same time - corner of Joys Lane and Lucas, Greenkill Ave onto Wilbur, etc.). Once I saw KPD put his lights on at the intersection of Cinton Ave and Westbrook because he didn't want to stop at the stop sign - there was traffic at the intersection and he didn't want to wait his turn. As soon as he got through the stop sign, he turned his lights off. The arrogance of the police is going to hurt someone some day. And when the lawsuit comes in, we'll all be paying for it.

running stop sign Archived

drivers are using Coffey Pl as a shortcut from Hurley to Fairview. They are speeding on Coffey and running the stop sign at Coffey and Howland. We have a lot of children on the street and walkers to and from Bailey and Edson schools. This is especially true at 6:15 to 6:45am although it does happen all day long.

  I agree that it is a city road, and anyone can drive on it. I have a problem with setting aside roads that are city. I believe the reason they discourage it is one part that a lot of elderly people do daily walks on it, and there is no sidewalk. The other reasons might be because of the traffic going to other places on the hill, but everyone else has to deal with traffic around kingston, they should not be exempt from it. This issue wasn't about driving on it, it was about the stop sign, and a lot of kids right there.

  It's usually during heavy traffic hours in the afternoon-when school gets out or people are getting out of work-just saw it yesterday. A gray van speeding right through from East Chester to 32.

  I haven't really seen that, but there are atleast 2 accidents a month if not more of people attempting to get out of Hess during rush hour. I frequent this store too but I try avoiding it during rush hour unless I plan on making a right turn out...

  Are there any updates to this issue? The only solution is to post police there occasionally - and to attempt to catch the perpetrators. Signs might help as well. Don't give up! Change takes some effort.
  
  If there are no further responses, I will close this issue, but if it is still a problem - someone comment and we can all continue to work on this.

Areas of Concern Archived

Andrew St Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

Student/School Safety Issue...The resident next to the cancer center and Sophine Finn school has not trimmed his hedges. They continue to protrude very far covering nearly half the width of the sidewalk. Children are unable to walk side by side with an adult(s) causing the parent or adult to walk into the street. One of which has high traffic. The same resident has a tree with over grown branches blocking the view of the Schools Yellow Traffic Light. Cars never slow down and im quite sure it may have to do with not seeing this light. Seeing as how they arent paying attention to the fading school zone paint on the street.

  No consensus or solution. If this continues to be a problem, contact the police department and see if they will place the speed checking device there.

  The same guy who panhandles at the bottom of the mall entrance is the same guy who also asks for money at the traffic circle. I am not sure if it is the same one you saw Frank, but they brag at the Clinton Ave church about how stupid people are to give them money. They collect Social Sec. and they also get some welfare benefits, but panhandling offers them the opportunity to get the beer and cigs they need for the month when there money is gone. I am so surprised that people are giving them money.. If you are on of them PLEASE STOP. You are being taken advantage of. Donate your money to a charity in Ulster County or to a local Church that is also a soup kitchen. They need the help more than the men who are taking it and buying the wrong things with it..

  Don't let the criminals outsmart the LAW. Sometimes they work went shifts, change, etc. Continue to do whatever is nescessary to FIX the problems. What can residents do to help? If you think that neighbors aren't frustrated with these crimes you're VERY mistaken. Let's get the word out - WHAT can residents do ? ? ?

Speed Way near school & residential area Open

Snyder Ave is a constant speedway. I have seen people 'gun it'. I've lost a cat, my dog got hit $650. Yes, I know my dog is my responsibility but still... and my 7 year old child is my main concern. We can not take a family walk together, now that sad. On top of it, I participate in school walks. Last year the 1st grade all got scared by a speeding vehicle to a man who would not slow down to yield the corner and approaching 50 plus children standing on the side of the road. Scared every single one of us, the teachers, and the children; Sad to say the least so pleas help!

  I forgot to add that I reported this as a guest over 9 months ago. Today as I was driving out of my driveway and on my way to return a rental car I got hit. Thank god I purchased insurance on my rental car, but MOST people do not. I am telling you this is a hazardous area. Maybe we can get a flashing light? Our children and families do deserve to enjoy their lives without the concern of speeding vehicles.

Drivers speed through Fairview to cut through the neighborhood. You can't walk down the street without someone speeding on this road that because if the hills and curves has limited visibility. Have cops patrol or put up speed limit signs big enough for drivers to see.

  And there are no sidewalks for pedestrians. So we HAVE to walk in the road. I have almost been hit numerous times by people driving extremely fast on Fairview & in the neighborhood.

Please enforce speed limit!!!

  Speeding within the city and the surrounding area is a huge problem. The only thing that seems to be done is for police to enforce traffic law but that rarely does anything to curb the behavior. In reality all that needs to be done is for drivers to learn some driving etiquette & have respect for the roadway.

  I live right around the corner from you and we have the same passerby's. We are not on or near Broadway and I think people are forgetting that we are not in the middle of the city of Kingston. We are on the outskirts near the boarder....That is the key to our focus. We are out of the mid city or major traffic route, but yet our streets are used as a shortcut to Lucas avenue or hurley ave. I live closer to Hurley ave, but you may be closer to Lucas Ave.

drivers going straight instead of turning left at the end of broadway Open

Broadway kingston, ny - Kingston

Everyday I see drivers speeding down at the end of broadway toward chandler drive to beat traffic by going straight in a left turn only lane it is extremely unsafe is it really worth risiking a life to get yourself to your destination about 5 mins early now if I'm not mistaken if you find yourself in the wrong lane your are supposed to slow to a stop put on your signal (which I never see drivers even use anymore) and wait till you can safely enter the other lane.
