When the sheep's head bay community complained about parking on Knapp street just before fun time open , the city solved that problem by putting in parking meters . Will that be happening here also ?

I think the residents of Gerritsen Beach, better get ready to speak up against this stupidity! I understand the need to slow the cars racing up and down the avenue , which I totally agree with, but as others have said we need traffic lights not islands. The double and triple parking is a horror now, and will not end with these medians being put in. My biggest concern is for the fire trucks and other emergency vehicles being held up by a double parked cars and trucks making deliveries, how about in the unlikely case of an evacuation of the beach such as in a bad storm or some other emergency do you realize how these medians would hinder the flow of traffic out of the beach!... I for one will be boycotting this ridiculous idea, whose stupid idea is this anyway Gerritsen avenue is much too narrow for something like that.

On the week ends school buses double and triple park while dropping off children to play in the park During the week delivery trucks double park to make delivery . getting past the bagel place , the pizza place and the bars can be very dangerous . The city buses don't even pull all the way in to the bus stop . It may be ok up at the school of at the point but not between channel and Florence .

I see people park 3 deep and don't care if there is a back up, the cars have to veer into oncoming traffic.
