I have to agree with the OP. What kind of message does it send when you see this on Rt 209 before you get to the Mall area or the rest of Kingston?

Many of the signs along 9W under this overpass were replaced over the summer. Why not this one on 209? It looks trashy and shows a sign of social decay.

Overgrowth on side of road and POTHOLES galore! Ouvert

495-599 1st Ave Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

This road is in rough shape. Growth on the sides of the road need to be trimmed back desperately and there are a couple sections where I do not even want to drive on my side of the road heading southbound due to numerous potholes! Please fix. This would be a great area to ride a bike or walk but there is no shoulder due to the growth and I don't think it would be too safe with cars avoiding potholes and potentially creating a dangerous situation.

Bums in the plaza. Ouvert

100 Kingston Plaza Kingston, NY 12401, USA - Kingston

The bums in the plaza specifically hanging out at Hannaford are disruptive. There is a woman named Barb with blond hair, her and her friends are constantly buying beer in and out all day and harrassing everyone for money or a ciggarette. There are also plenty of fist fights in the parking lot over their "camping site" right behind Hannaford in that little patch of woods. Not to mention the constant calls for ambulances because they have drank to much or took too many drugs and are passing out on the benches. Who do you think is paying for this?

I do see Hannaford making some effort - but the staff often ignores it. Winter time results is less of a problem because it is cold out. We'll see more next year.

Everyone that uses this Hannaford needs to keep on it.

Not your personal dumping ground Ouvert

Just because no one lives on this road doesn't mean that people need to dump their garbage off the side of the road. People do like walking on this road. The rotting deer carcasses a few months back were especially pleasent..

Get Rid of the HUMP! Ouvert

Interstate 587 Kingston, NY - Ulster

Can we please get this stupid HUMP taken out of this roundabout?! What is its purpose? All it does is blocks motorists' view of oncoming traffic, and this is VERY dangerous when you can't see other vehicles coming. Why did they ever install this humongous MOUND in the middle of this roundabout anyway?

No other roundabout I've ever seen has a huge MOUND in the middle of it! Most of the ones I've ever seen have a low brick apron and a few little flowers or shrubs or even a lightpost or two in the middle, so you can at least see the other cars coming towards you! This huge HUMP doesn't let you see other cars coming around the turn until it's TOO LATE!!!

GET RID OF THE HUMP!!!

None of the other newer-style roundabouts have this hump built into them! I think they should remove it because it is dangerous because you can't see around it!!

I travel to eight different states regularly, and some of them have it, and it serves the purpose. It is there to slow people down. Go slow and it is not a problem. Lawlessness, there is nothing lawless about a mound in the middle of a roundabout. It is not a problem, There is nothing emotional about it. People have to slow down and they don't like to slow down. The old one was like a racetrack, it was bad. I got hit there, people thought they were ona racetrack.

Oh I totally agree with the fact that the old design was a nightmare. And the design we have there now (with the little bypass ramps and everything) is fine, except for that obstructive hump! Drivers literally have to creep up almost to the middle of the lanes in the circle, and then peel-out in order not to be smashed into by someone flying around the turn!

At least if the hump were removed (like in MOST other newer-style designs I've ever seen), drivers entering the circle would have a better vantage point and be able to gauge more-accurately how hard they have to accelerate in order to safely pull into traffic.

This is an issue which has to be addressed! This design is already 12 years old, and it needs to be updated in order to keep up with the times, so we don't have a dangerous design sitting there for 40 years like the original, infamously-dangerous "Traffic Circle" that used to be there!!!

the hump is there because your attention should not be divided between whats going on in front of you and what might be happening elsewhere. if you obeyed the posted speed instead of trying to avoid it this should'nt be an issue . the hump also serves as a headlight visor between i587 and rt28 without the hump night blindness would occour.

Unmowed lawn Ouvert

Traffic Circle - Ulster

Why can't we keep the lawn in and around the traffic circle mowed and kept neat? It is embarassment for all of us when friends and business associates come to Kingston and the first thing they see is grass that is a foot tall in this area. Are times that tough that we can not afford to mow this area. This is the first thing that people see when coming to this area and must be kept up. Who is reponsible for this? The town? The city?

I have never seen so much overgrowth along side of our roads and highways around here. There are literally tree branches almost falling on top of cars all over the place. What do we pay our highway crews to do? Why even pay our taxes when they aren't doing the job we put them there to do? I expect more from my government, and we, the people, shouldn't let them get away with this theft of our money.

MOW THE LAWNS, TRIM THE BRANCHES, AND FIX THE ROADS! THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE PAID TO DO!!!!!

good, if you want everything mowed and trimmed, then be the first to pay more taxes. The state is broke and facing a deficit, along with the towns. The last thing on the list is mowing. Thed top is roads, sewers, things that matter.
This atitude that we pay our taxes doesn't fly anymore. They cut costs, laid people off to balance budgets, made cuts where they need to and had to. Be thankful we have roads to drive on, and thankful for everything else we have and take for granted.
There is a adopt a highway or road program, someone can adopt the traffic circle.
The first thing people see when they come to town is the same thing they see in their towns. It is not any different..

We DO pay our taxes! New York State has the highest taxes in the nation! And what do we get for it? NOTHING! We get crappy roads, decrepit bridges, overgrowth beyond compare, urban blight, and choking traffic!

Mowing the weeds and cutting back brush is part of doing the WHOLE JOB, not just this disjointed, little-bits-and-pieces approach the State of New York has taken on these things for the past 40 years! Do the WHOLE JOB, clean up your act, and if the government officials REALLY wanted to attract more TOURIST DOLLARS, then they would at least make the town look ATTRACTIVE to people wanting to visit here! Instead, tourists come here and find giant potholes, broken concrete curbs, rusty guardrails, 1920's-style traffic lights, and Amazon jungle-like WEEDS and BRUSH everywhere along side of the roads and highways!

I expect MORE out of my government!

I expect my government officials to DO WHAT THEY ARE PAID TO DO!!! Their 6-figure salaries and taxpayer-subsidized pensions need to be DRASTICALLY CUT even MORE than they already are!

This is ridiculous! Your type of "status quo" thinking is EXACTLY why New York State is in the financial mess we are in! Because people are LEAVING and the tax base is SHRINKING, precisely because of these types of quality-of-life issues.

If it were up to me, PRIVATE COMPANIES would be taking care of these issues and maintaining our roads because GOVERNMENT ISN'T DOING THE JOB!!!!!!!

and this state is dealing with a multi-billion dollar deficit, along with counties having the same proble, along with cities. The person who was doing one or two jobs is now doing 4 or 5. They cut back on employees and time spent on needed things. I agree we pay a decent amount of taxes, plenty. But at the moment, that is not enough. They delay cutting along the thruways, county roads, citiy.
if you can figure out a way to get it all done with no money to pay for it, they might listen. I'm not arguing. Status quo, until things get better, is about the best it will be. The adopt a road program works good. No reason why it can't work for the traffic circle. And covering the surrounding states for work, I can tell you we are not alone in delayed cutting.
Cut the salaries of those making a bunch and retiring very well, you have my vote. people and business are leaving because they cannot afford the taxes here, not because of the grass. I am from the west coast originially, and taxes there were lower than the price we pay to live in NY..

Repainted intersection missing lines & causing traffic jams Ouvert

Boices Ln Kingston, NY - Lincoln Park

After the County repaved Boices Lane, it didn't do a very good job repainting the lane lines. There are no stop lines, and the lane lines extend farther into the intersection at Morton Blvd than they used to, so traffic isn't stopping where it should.

The worst part, though, is the lane lines on Boices Lane westbound between Morton Blvd and the train tracks. The left-turn lane has been truncated; it now backs up regularly, blocking traffic traveling straight from its lane. This, in turn, backs traffic up across the railroad tracks unnecessarily. The lanes are also still too narrow to comfortably hold vehicles; it's too bad this stretch of road wasn't widened slightly during the repave job to adequately accommodate the three westbound lanes.

The County needs to survey the traffic flow at this intersection and repaint the lanes accordingly, to avoid unnecessary traffic jams (and the risk of cars being hit by trains). It wouldn't hurt to paint in some stop-lines where the train crossing gates come down, to help people gauge where they need to stop in order not to be hit by the gates or a train.

Correct! The new lane (in front of Stewart's) to make a left turn into Tech City is way too long! What were they thinking? No, Tech City is not going to grow that fast where will you will need that long left turn lane! Stop lines at all intersections would be nice too along with cross walks. The Town of Ulster has never been good with issues like this. Let's not get our hopes up though.

I have complained to Town Highway Superintendant Frank Petramale about this and the timing and railroad pre-emption of the traffic signals numerous times. I spoke to Mr. Petramale who told me that stop bars are not a requirement which is incorrect. According to the National Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), stop bars are required in ALL intersections with traffic control devices.
As far as the traffic signals, the NYS DOT tried to help with the programming of the traffic signals and had implemented a program that was working perfectly until they were requested to change it because the school buses couldn't make a right on red when the rail preemption kicked in which held up traffic until the train passed. Now the signals are all out of whack along with the road markings! If Mr. Petramale would like my vote in the next campaign, he has to get this fixed once and for all.

1. As I have stated before, Boice’s Lane is a County Rd and any problems with the road markings or anything else on that road should be directed to them 845-340-3131.

2. As to the stop bars not being installed, I told you that they were not needed based on the information from the Commissioner of the Ulster County DPW. If that is in correct I will look into it further.

3. As to the traffic signal all out of whack, it has been worked on by the NYS DOT Traffic crew numerous times, yes a new program was installed and working fine but there were several things that went wrong after they installed it. The DOT Signal supervisor met me onsite with a crew and they reprogrammed it so it was working properly as to there specifications, not yours or mine. Recently there were some problems with it and once again they came and went through the unit and made sure it was working as they programmed it. I think you may have the DOT number you might try giving them a call if not I will forward it to you.

4. As to me getting your support in the next election I don’t think this site was started as a political site and my concern is not getting your vote I think already know that answer, it is the safety to all that travel our roads and I will reach out to the DOT to try and rectify your concerns once again, but you have to at least give me credit for answering everyone of your calls, emails and returning all of them in a timely manner and yes also taking action each time to try to rectify a problem if one is present, that doesn’t ever seem to make it into any of your comments on the internet.

Missing 55 MPH Signs Cause Drivers to Drive too Slowly Ouvert

681-701 Flatbush Rd Kingston, NY - East Kingston

Many 55 MPH signs on NY State Route 32 northbound are missing, especially between Sottile Drive and Ulster Landing Road.

This causes drivers to mistakenly think this area is still 45 MPH, and motorists drive too slowly, holding up the traffic behind them, causing road rage.

Drivers ride the brakes down the hill because they have no idea that the speed limit is 55 MPH along this section.

This needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY in order to stop this needless confusion of drivers who don't know the proper speed they should be traveling!

No, there aren't two lanes going DOWN the hill. The two-lane section is going UP the hill.

The speed limit there is 55MPH, but all of a sudden during the last few years has become this phenomenon where people RIDE THE BRAKES down the hill for no reason!

Well, I know the reason! It's because people DON'T KNOW that the speed limit there is 55MPH because there are NO SIGNS!!! They think the hill is some HUMONGOUS HILL that they need to ride the brakes to go down!

This causes tailgaiting and people honking and road rage due to CLUELESS MOTORISTS!!!

There should be a right-turning lane (headed north) and a left-turning lane (headed south) so that the people going into Main Street East Kingston and Ulster Landing Road don't hold up traffic driving the normal speed on Route 32.
