That is just one small part of the problem- Joys Lane traffic is treacherous. This should be a one way street from Dietz Stadium to Lucas Avenue. Joys Lane was an alley road and it was cobbed into a street by the city with no regard for width or parking needs of the home owners. I am sure this was initiated by Abel Garraghan, real estate monger, who pressured Lucas Avenue home owners to sell half their property for the building of a commercial building and parking lot which is posted no trespassing so no in the neighborhood can use it.

I think that NYS should enforce the law when it comes to pedestrians. The law states that cars must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks but try crossing and see what happens. You know what will happen. In Mass., drivers are ticketed for not yielding to pedestrians. We should enforce the laws already on the books.

And the push button "walk" traffic signal doesn't work! It's really dangerous and scary to cross between the Trailways bus depot and the parking area across Washington Ave. Then add darkness on a busy night...

We called City Hall about this over a year ago. They claimed to not know about the problem, thanked us for telling them, promised to fix it, then did nothing.

This intersection has been under review and the Public Safety Committee is working on resolving some of the issues with this intersection. Problem is we need a sidewalk too. As for the crosswalk light on the corner of Washington & G'ma Brown has been ordered and should be replaced soon.

Done in the fall of 2011. Thank you!
