"great place to shop, bad place to park"
This street has a great deal of stores along it. The Annual St Patricks day Parade takes place here attracting thousands of local residents. The street is also very long stretching miles across Staten Island. The traffic is about as worse as it gets on staten island, good like traveling from a to b on this street. It's location in the heart of many neighborhoods is a contributing factor to it's perpetual traffic. In the long run if you have to go on forest Ave make sure that you don't stay on it for too long.
