  8. Intersection Geometry

  9. Intersection Geometry “Not enough room in left turn lane to 587” “The light from 587 towards Broadway turns green, then as you enter Broadway you have to yield to traffic coming from... where?” “No where for cars to go once there is a large amount of traffic. I work next to Probation and it takes me 20 mins to get from my office on Broadway to the light at this intersection.” “Cars get bottlenecked at rail hump on Albany Ave” “Seems like the roundabout near I87 handles as much traffic and isn't congested” “It is a confusing intersection. Because many pedestrians need to go through it too in order to get to/from uptown Kingston, speeding it up too much will make it less safe” “Have never experienced problematic congestion”

  10. Operational Issues

  11. Safety

  12. Safety “Cars go straight to I-587 in the left turn only lane from Broadway” “Pedestrians are confused; drivers are confused” “It is difficult to navigate with a bicycle” “I-587 traffic blocks the Albany intersection” “It’s safer for bicyclists to pass through a red light when there are no cars coming in either direction on Albany” “I myself have almost been hit at that intersection…” “I have almost hit several cars here…” I’ve seen accidents and near misses in many different locations…”
