Karen,
Please also inform the DOT of the fact that this is a city wide issue not just
a Manhattan thing.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi All,
Thanks for all this work, Gene!
What I plan to do in this call is to point out the issues that this planned
intersection change raises for us in a very general way - no mention of APS's,
shortening of crossing times, and the critical need for properly-installed
warning strips especially where the bulb out is. I will ask for a call or
meeting with us and one of our o&m members and then ask the question of how we
can as a coalition representing a community, have input as plans are being
made. I hope if Margaret takes the time to grasp the importance of our issues
at this one intersection, she'll see that it's an important conversation to
have across the board.
Let me know if you think anything else is needed. Thanks, everybody.
Karen

I just looked over the community board 4 presentation. There is no mention at
all of APS. They make a big point that this intersection is at the 99th
percentile for injuries (55 in 5 years), with not a peep about Selis Manor
being located on the block. It seems amazing to me that APS are not in this
presentation.
The presentation materials state in text there will be a southbound protected
lag turn, meaning the left turns are allowed at the end of the green phase.
But then they show the exact signals in the three phases and the left turns are
leading, meaning they happen at the beginning of the green cycle, which would
be disastrous.
Overall, there is less time to cross all the crosswalks except the west.
Crossing at the east crosswalk, the WALK and DON'T WALK signal time is now
reduced by 3 seconds, and the north and south crosswalk times are reduced by 7
seconds.
The rendering of the intersection clearly shows the islands' cut-throughs will
narrow the north and south crosswalk pathways by about half.
The pedestrian islands, which are on 7th Ave., are 7 feet wide, meaning they
will want to put in the wrong width DWS.
Here is the presenter's name and email: Hillary Poole at
