Description
This intersection at Broadway/Albany Ave is a serious cause for concern. The traffic flow is constantly backed up as far as the eye can see during peak hours. The traffic lights are hard to see and lanes are poorly located for even traffic flow. I know over the many years I've lived in Kingston there have been numerous accidents in this location.
Remedy: An on/off ramp/s on 587 to the Kingston plaza and/or Schwenk Dr would reduce traffic on Albany Ave toward Clinton thus reducing traffic issues on the many troubled intersections uptown.

There is a major plan on this intersection (587 and Broadway/Albany Ave by Ulster County)... the plan is in action, having started the first week of April 2010 and looks to a major overhaul of that area... work starting 2011.
