Hurried drivers approaching Glendale and 59th avenues sometimes find themselves in a little circle of hell.
Drivers on Grand Avenue at this intersection swoop unimpeded under a wide overpass, but not the drivers on 59th or Glendale.
Up to 12 times a day, both streets are blocked by slow-moving freight trains running parallel to Grand.
The delays can last 20 minutes or more.
“It can be a hassle,” said Jack Kenyon, 23, who waits two or three times a week as he heads to service calls for his grandfather’s plumbing business at 60th and Glendale avenues.
“I take a different route through the neighborhoods if I’m squeezed for time. It’s irritating.”
