CIA Traffic Update

Week eight. Even though last week a neighbor noted that the blocked traffic situation on Coney Island Avenue seemed improved for a couple of days, whatever minor improvement there was did not last. The sign at M&M Auto Glass is still placed in a lane of traffic, as are cars that they, and many other businesses along the stretch from Caton south, are working on.

Additionally, as alsivi, who sent in the top photo, notes, on CIA at Cortelyou there is a no standing zone where cars continually park. Furthermore, the situation for drivers hasn’t gotten any better: “Traffic is still backed up on CIA going south and Cortelyou going east.”
