To avoid waiting for the stop light at Jamaica Avenue and Forest Parkway, cars heading to the Interboro Parkway (a/k/a) Jackie Robinson Parkway west of Forest Parkway would turn up 79 Street instead jeopardizing safety of families along the narrow one-way street.
Residents had police patrols, requested speed bumps… Some proposed reversing the one-way direction, others a traffic light at Park Lane South.
Parking, break-ins and trash along this stretch are three other common concerns.
