This sentence caught my eye, and as I rode by this short block I studied the geography. There are 2 curb breaks, one for an apartment building driveway, (there's another driveway but no curb break) and one for a construction site where a factory is being demolished. This stretch has only two buildings on it, one of which is being torn down. On the West side of Kent is the DOT Salt storage and a graveyard for used city garbage trucks, then the demo site. One the east side of Kent is a park, with a gate I have never seen unlocked, an apartment building that extends through to the block to the east and then another park. The Salt storage has no access to Kent. The Apartment building has quite a bit of off street parking and a bunch of on street on Whythe. I am not sure what businesses are complaining, the lumber yard who parks his trucks along this stretch? He hasn't changed his operating procedure, his 18 wheelers still sit there, on the side, in the bike lane. The apartment building must have the loud mouth, even with all their parking.

This vid shows a typical (getting buzzed by a speeding car) morning on Kent, on the stretch between Clymer and Division. As New Yorkers, the imperative here is Safety, not private car storage on the city streets.

With the waterfront changing from industrial to residential and to accomodate current and future parks, things will have to change moving forward.
