Editor: Re: When drivers ‘hog the box’, Record Opinion, Sept. 13.
I could not agree more that the traffic on 20th Street is a problem.
Money spent to supposedly move traffic freer on the Queensborough Bridge has not done what it was supposed to do. Think about what will happen when they start building highrises around 22nd Street station as well.
This is my neighbourhood. I have been blocked from turning into just about every road to reach my house. I use a right on 7th Avenue occasionally to try to get over the bridge but only at non-peak times. The frustration of the line butters and people blocking that road is terrible.
I now drive all the way down Southridge Drive and turn left at Marine Way and use that to go over the Queensborough. I arrive at my destination relaxed and in a much better frame of mind.
There needs to be dividers put up on 20th and better signage for lanes. Might solve some of the problems.
