39th street lic
The argument that Mr. Ryan Gelber gives for keeping 39th Street between 50th Avenue and the LIE oneway is self serving. Because of the oneway southern direction of this street, unnecessary jamups occur at Greenpoint Avenue due to the inability of cars to turn north for five blocks.This is a very wide street and should be two ways.

39th Street should remain one way
I've heard recently that there are plans to return 39th street to a two way street between 50th Ave and the LIE offramp. I strongly disagree with this plan.
The only reason for changing 39th Street from what is has now been for 25 years is convenience. It is more convienent for some drivers to have the option of turning off the highway onto 39th Street. The reason for keeping it is safety. This block of 39th street is filled with young families with small children. These children will now live on a busy intersection that will have 18 wheeler trucks whizzing past at all hours of the day and night. No doubt there will be children injured and perhaps killed as a result of this ill-advised decision. I believe that a few extra seconds in the car are worht the safety of our neighborhood children.
In addition, there would be a much simplier solution to the traffic problem. If the city would simply place a right turn ramp at Greenpoint and the LIE off ramp, traffic problems would be solved. There is space currently at this intersection to do this.
Keep 39th street one way.

ILLEGAL MASSIVE TRUCKS
Although this 5100 block of 48th street) is a NO TRUCK street we have been unable to deter the !assive trucks from the Maspeth Industrial Park from using this block.
Going north, they should be directed to enter the LIE eastbound, exit at Maurice Avenue, then go north on this wide, non-residential avenue.
The noise, day after day, is horrendous!!
With all the summonses give out by the Police the infractions continue.
