  I heard from an Ex-employee that they had financial issues. Could not pay for the items they had on credit(beer-soda) and some of those items were returned to the companies they could not pay. You have to admit, there prices were not a discount compared to Walmart. The place was dirty and the staff were rude.I went there 2 times and did not see any DISCOUNTS...

Street name signs make no sense Archived

658 Ulster Ave Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Lincoln Park

When people try to find Development Court, they often get lost on the first try. Why? Because there's no street name sign at the stoplight where you can actually enter "Development Court." Instead, the street name signs are at the corners of the county property, where there are no roads -- a few hundred feet away from the actual intersection.

The orphaned street signs should be removed, and reinstalled at the actual intersection.

travel south on rt. 32 between old stage road an scott ln there is a curved downhill grade to the road. the side of the road is extremely overgrown and creates a blind spot for the driveways. also there is no warning signs that there are driveways and a school bus stop right after the turn. cars speed thru this area and it's only a matter of time until there is an incident

  Being a state route that has a driveway or entrance almost every 50 feet at times the speed limit should be knocked down to 30 or 35 mph giving more time for someone to stop. I've traveled this road many times in my life and find that people exceed the 40mph limit set by the state. Maybe some road patrols checking for speeders and reckless drivers are in order.

  The speed limit is appropriate for this road. I don't think we need to make motorists drive slower on this already-congested highway.
  
  The main problem here is that the NYSDOT or whoever is responsible for clearing the brush and overgrowth is not doing their jobs. There are tree branches hanging everywhere, and the brush isn't being cleared from along side of the road in order to make the lines of visibility better for safety.
  
  It's time the Highway Department started doing their jobs instead of just sitting around collecting a paycheck!!
  The taxpayers are sick and tired of paying for getting NO SERVICE! I mean, it only took them 20 years to re-pave Route 9W!!
  
  Not to mention, the street lighting is virtually non-existent! Driving this stretch of road at night is literally frightening, to say the least! There have been numerous times when oncoming drivers are practically in your lane because they can't see around the turns.
  
  Disgraceful!

Extend 4-Lanes South on Route 209 Open

U.S. 209 Kingston, NY - Ulster

The portion of US Route 209 south of Hurley was originally designed to be 4 lanes, extending all the way to Stone Ridge.

With the unbelievable amount of traffic which has exploded on this stretch over the past 40 years, I think it's finally time to finish the rest of the 4-lane portion, to alleviate some of the horrendous traffic here, so that commute-times can be shortened, which would give a significant boost to the Ulster County economy.

Our economy is in shambles here in New York, and the people are desparately yearning and crying out for some good-paying jobs! Completing the southbound portion of 209 would provide the boost this area needs!

Let's finally FINISH some of these infrastructure projects, and bring some good construction jobs here to Ulster County, instead of forcing our citizens and taxpayers to use this dangerous, crumbling, overcrowded, obsolete highway forever!

Let's upgrade, and think about our FUTURE, ULSTER COUNTY!!!

  I'd prefer we spend the limited highway funds on safety issues. There are many bridges in the area that need structural repair. The Wurts Street Bridge is a prime example. Let's make sure folks are safe before we make the ride to Stone Ridge quicker.

  I drive this road a lot and have never encountered much of a problem. And I do believe that the large expanse to the east of Rt 209 is due to the removal of the railroad not a proposed expansion of the road. We need to spend our money on more important road issues.

  First, To Frank=fmerg Did you ever stop to think the number of accidents might decrease if you were able to safely get around the moron in front of you that hasnt done the speed limit since they bought their Prius????? I know how to make the commute to Kingston shorter......Lower the speed limit to 25 miles per hour! Nannys.... everyone so afraid ..... The speed limit used to be 55 from just south of Tongore but the Marbletown Town Board petitioned the State DOT to lower it for "Safety" and to pocket more trafiic ticket money! Speed limit on County Rt 2 used to be 55 then 40 now they want it down to 25 because of a handful of whiners that think its too dangerous..... Big gulps are next to go in Stone Ridge right along with common sense! If everyone would be taught how to drive properly to begin with we wouldnt have these problems..... Dont see it changing with all these "Progressive" types crying for safety!

Political Signs on rt 28 Archived

301 State Route 28 Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Ulster

There are political signs all up and down rt 28. There are some in front of private properties which are fine, but way too many are on State property and in the median. That is illegal and punishable by a fine. Not the fault of the candidates just the lazy people working for them.

Signs show support by people or business. When place on road sides only show disrespect for the law and the environment.

  Cars entering 209 don't have to yield to enter the acceleration/deceleration lane over the bridge. That's THEIR lane of traffic. They're already in it.
  
  It is the responsibility of the vehicle *changing lanes* (from the traffic lane to the deceleration lane) to slow down and ensure that they can do so safely.

  Absolutely not true Derek. Cars entering 209 from 9 W are NOT in there own lane. If they stayed in the lane they entered from they would then exit back off. They have to move into the lane to their left into oncoming traffic to proceed onto 209. Therefore, cars already on 209 would have the right of way.

  Cheryl: Cars entering on the ramp have the right of way to that accel/decel lane. They must still safely change lanes into traffic. But the accel/decel lane is - legally - theirs.

  Once again, similar to the Leggs Mill Road/Neighborhood Road intersection, people just need to pay attention while driving. Putting a stop sign in this intersection would make the traffic back up even worse than it is now. Most malls have incoming traffic with the right away, not those driving around or leaving the mall. A little consideration and paying attention while driving goes a long way, plus the assumption that others are going to stop (especially with no stop sign) is ridiculous especially these days. Everyone is such a rush they barely stop at stop signs, let alone where there is no stop sign.

Missing 55 MPH Signs Cause Drivers to Drive too Slowly Open

681-701 Flatbush Rd Kingston, NY - East Kingston

Many 55 MPH signs on NY State Route 32 northbound are missing, especially between Sottile Drive and Ulster Landing Road.

This causes drivers to mistakenly think this area is still 45 MPH, and motorists drive too slowly, holding up the traffic behind them, causing road rage.

Drivers ride the brakes down the hill because they have no idea that the speed limit is 55 MPH along this section.

This needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY in order to stop this needless confusion of drivers who don't know the proper speed they should be traveling!

  No, there aren't two lanes going DOWN the hill. The two-lane section is going UP the hill.
  
  The speed limit there is 55MPH, but all of a sudden during the last few years has become this phenomenon where people RIDE THE BRAKES down the hill for no reason!
  
  Well, I know the reason! It's because people DON'T KNOW that the speed limit there is 55MPH because there are NO SIGNS!!! They think the hill is some HUMONGOUS HILL that they need to ride the brakes to go down!

"School bus stop ahead" sign needed. Archived

101 John St Kingston, NY 12401, USA - East Kingston

There is a well established bus stop at this stop sign where kids play while they wait for their buses. Until last year there has been a crossing guard but not anymore. Most people roll through but don't actually stop. Some don't even tap the brakes! Tuytenbridge Road got their signs recently. May we have a couple? Without the benefit of a crossing guard, people passing through East Kingston may not realize there are kids in the area from 7AM to 3 PM. We'd hate to lose a kid because we didn't have a sign.

Formisano Trucks/ Removed Stop Sign Archived

Old Stage Road Saugerties, NY - Ulster

The ongoing blockage of Formisano Trucks from leaving Old Stage Road and entering it ,wires strawn across the road make this entry very unsafe.These trucks are always blocking the vision of traffic coming in on a right hand turn onto Old Stage or leaving to go right or left onto Rt.9W.
Now the stop sign has been broken by these trucks and just placed along side of the front part of the Formisano building.
In the evening when when trying to enter Old Stage Road they have these rental trucks parked across,sideways ,along side the road and when traffic trys to come in there is trucks blocking the vision.
This complaint continues to become a issue when no one does anything about it,Why is that ? It is clearly visible during the day and evening there will be a serious accident as it is totally blind coming off 9w when making a right hand turn to come in Old Stage Road ,the driver CANNOT see if anyone is coming out off the Old Stage Road.
Now the stop sign was backed into by these trucks and is clearly broken and just place there ,now we have people coming out of Old Stage Road and they don't want to stop .I had a man tell me as he veered onto 9w 'That there is no STOP sign ....why does this serious situation continue?

Stop sign ought to be Yield sign Archived

1435 Ulster Ave - Ulster

The ramp from eastbound 209 to southbound 9W (Ulster Ave.) is marked by a STOP sign, which causes a lot of congestion backing up onto 209. There is a clear line of sight under the 209 overpass to the driver's left. A YIELD sign would move traffic more safely and more swiftly. The required full stop doubles and triples what the normal wait time could be without adding any safety, and actually makes the intersection more dangerous. This is because rather than a rolling start from a YIELD sign the required full stop for many drivers adds so much time that the clear access they initially have when they make their decision to start erodes and their progress becomes either only a single car exiting the ramp (instead of 2 or 3), or with slower drivers an outright cutoff of oncoming traffic.

  You are absolutely right, Ron! I'm glad someone else finally noticed this as well!
  
  That ramp always USED to have a YIELD sign at the bottom until about 6 or 7 years ago (if my memory serves me correctly.)
  
  Back then, whoever it was, shoddily re-configured the entrance of Old Neighborhood Road near Staples, and steepened the angle where the 209 ramp meets Route 9W.
  
  At that time, they changed the YIELD sign (which was originally there), to a STOP sign! I could not believe what I was witnessing when I saw it for the first time!!
  
  Since when do cloverleaf off-ramps like this one have a STOP SIGN at the bottom instead of a YIELD sign?!?!
  
  That is just completely BIZARRE!!!
  
  I said to myself, "This is going to cause either massive backups on Route 209, or a slew of rear-end collisions from drivers careening down the exit ramp at 60 MPH, not knowing that they have to stop at the bottom! (Or both)!!!"
  
  The only solution I can envision there is to addressing that situation is to completely redesign the entire Staples's parking lot as a whole, so that Old Neighborhood Road can share the same intersection as Frank Sottile Blvd.
  
  That way all of the needless extra business-entrances and wide open "free-for-all" parking lots around there can have all their traffic efficiently funnelling into one main intersection, instead of cars and trucks going every which way because there is absolutely NO organization of the current traffic chaos there whatsoever!
  
  Then, the exit ramp from Route 209 east to Route 9W south can be brought back to its original shallower angle, so that the traffic can safely merge onto Route 9W with a YIELD sign, instead of coming to a screeching halt at the STOP sign that's there now!
  
  Yet one more example of where the government bean-counters tried to treat the simptom, instead of curing the disease!!!

  There used to be a yield sign, but it was changed because of all the accidents there. The best answer would be to get rid of the wide median on 9W and shift the lanes over so there could be a dedicated lane for traffic exiting 209 onto 9W, giving everybody about 1/4 mile to merge. Maybe after it is "studied" for 20 years or so, it will get fixed.

  It is ridiculous how they did this intersection! I believe there should be a right turning lane as well as a full left hand turning lane. It's not like there isn't enough space there! Whoever designed this should so be fired!

  Nothing was done to that area with either any cones or those straight cones so no one turns right at that stop sign, I still see people turning the wrong way there....

Signage for Roundabout Needed Archived

Roundabout Kingston, NY - Ulster

Needs signs to say right lane must exit. Too many people ride around the roundabout in the right lane preventing people on the inside lane from exiting.

  Boy, here's something that won't work. Gee.
  This isn't how roundabouts work.
  Roundabouts do fill up. And rapid lane changing really messes things up.
  Slower, courteous traffic is the best that can be accomplished.
  But when it fills up, it fills up.
  One has to wonder if the driver asking for the right lane to be cleared immediately shifts to the left lane and back out to the right. If that driver consciously makes it easier for traffic to enter. That would be good.
  Actually, that is a good idea! I'll try that myself. I didn't think of that.
  So, a rewrite: "it's often hard getting into the roundabout. It would be nice if traffic already in the roundabout did what they could to mek getting in a bit easier."
  Good idea. Thanks.

  I agree - improved signage is needed.
  
  In case you missed the issue which discussed how to navigate traffic circles, here are some links:
  
  https://www.nysdot.gov/main/roundabouts/guide-users/motor-vehicle.
  
  I've also attached a picture.
  
  Now we just need someone to reach out to the DOT to install the signage.

  yes! you saw this! really nicely marked. one does have to pay attention, but one of the things I've done, as a result of people being concerned about that roundabout: I don't zip through there any more... whether I need to or not, I slow down... 20 mph.... that makes it a whole lot easier for others to come in, change lanes, etc...

"Exit Only" signs much needed at traffic circle! Archived

Kingston Traffic Circle - Ulster

"exit from right lane only" signs would greatly help the MANY NUMBERS of people who are not using the traffic circle correctly. Numerous accidents have been caused due to people exiting the traffic circle from the left lane, especially without signaling, causing an ENTERING car to slam on their brakes while the exiting car passes over two lanes of traffic to exit. Simple signs encouraging drivers to signal and use the right lane only to exit would prevent the issue.

  the people who are in the right lane that choose to go around the circle after the exit should be the one's to yeild to the people in the left lane who are properly using the circle, It infuriates me when I signal to get off and someone in the right lane just keeps on going, not even paying attention to the fact that they should either exit as the signs on the road state, or they need to yeild to the drivers who know how to navigate the circle who are trying to exit from the left lane, if you can't follow simple road signs to get around the circle, maybe an alternate route would be better!

NO U-TURNS Archived

Intersection Of Frank Sottile Blvd & 9w - Ulster

There really should be a "No U-Turn" sign at this intersection. Many times coming down F Sottile Blvd I have a green arrow and some idiot decides that they want to go north instead of south...just pull a u-turn and be sure to pull into the far lane because the car's turning radius is too large. I just lean on the horn and start yelling at them. But there's going to be an accident and their excuse will be that there is no sign.

  Scott: it's not at all illegal.
  
  http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/dmanual/chapter05-manual.htm#mku-trn
  
  "You may make a U-turn only from the left portion of the lane closest to the centerline of the roadway, never from the right lane. Unless signs tell you otherwise, you may make a U-turn when you are given the go-ahead by a green arrow left-turn traffic signal, provided it is not prohibited and you yield to other traffic."
  
  So, the left-arrow traffic on 9W *does* have a legal right, absent a sign saying otherwise, to make a U-turn and go north, provided they yield to other traffic legally in the intersection.
  
  So if Sottile Blvd traffic has a red-light only, the 9W traffic can make unfettered U-turns without worry, since by law the Sottile Blvd traffic has to wait until the intersection is clear of all traffic before attempting a right-on-red.
  
  If the Sottile Blvd traffic has a right-turn green, then they are legally entitled to pull into the RIGHTMOST TRAFFIC LANE (the legal way to make a right-turn), and proceed from there. So long as the U-turn traffic from 9W doesn't interfere with that (and it can be done, I've done it) there's absolutely no law being broken.
  
  For larger vehicles with clumsier turn-radii, the U-turn traffic would have to hold until the Sottile Blvd right-turn-on-green traffic was out of their way before proceeding.

Rt 32 and Old Lasher Road Archived

15 Old Lasher Rd Saugerties, NY 12477, USA - Ulster

This is an area that should have a warning sign on the northbound side of 32 just before Old Lasher Road.
When you come down that hill, motorists tend not to slow down. If someone is making that left turn on to Old Lasher it can be quite startling to see someone stopped awaiting to make the left turn.

Enterprise Drive And Boices Lane - Ulster

The light at that intersection get stuck and does not change in any direction or it remains green for Enterprise Drive but not to leave Boices Lane. I sat at that light for 10 mins or more waiting for my green with NO traffic coming in any other direction. Motorist are sometimes forced to go through the red light.

  The issue continues. The other problem is that when it does finally turn green, it is not green long enough for the car to go thru the intersection. It immediately turns red and usually only the lead car gets thru the intersection. This is becoming a big issue. I have seen alot of cars just go thru the light since they are sitting there with no cars coming from the Enterprise drive direction and the light continues to be red.

  The problem here is a case of finger pointing as far as who is responsible. The folks from the town/county say it's not their problem, because IBM put that light in when they were here, and it's the resposibility of the folks that own Tech City. Ask the Tech City people, and they point it back to the town/county, since it's on a main road. Bottom line is you have people who can't get through the light withouth running it and risking an accident or ticket. Can't someone get to the bottom of this. United Healthcare is the largest employer in this area, and a lot of employee's encounter this issue on a daily basis.

  I sat at the light this last friday at 2:00pm. I sat for 15 mins. There were a number of times that I was the only car at the intersection and the light remained red on me. It finally turned green because someone came to the light from the direction opposite of me sat and it turned green within seconds of them coming to the intersection.
