Good Location for a Citi Bike Station

Right across the street from the Prospect Park BQ station is a good location. This is a very busy area with overcrowded sidewalks, but directly across the street from the subway is spacious and a very-low trafficked sidewalk, since there's no subway exit on that side. Though painting a pedestrian crosswalk is probably necessary, since cars drive aggressively down this street. This block should probably be closed to non-bus car traffic but that's a different discussion.

It makes a lot of sense to place docks right off of flatbush, since Flatbush Ave. already has sidewalks that are too narrow, extreme double parking issues, and generally aggressive drivers. This particular spot is the side of a business, with no entrance and exits and no stoops, but still very close to Flatbush. The sidewalk is probably wide enough for a dock, since its a low traffic side street, but a street dock could work as well.

The end of Chester Court is a bad location for a Citibike dock. While the streetview image shows nobody parked illegally, more often than not multiple cars illegally park past the "no parking" signs at the dead end, making it much more difficult for cars to turn around. When cars are parked illegally, drivers coming down Chester Court to look for parking end up driving onto the sidewalks near the dead end for room to turn around. Sometimes, when multiple cars are parked illegally, drivers have to reverse out of Chester Court, creating a hazard as these cars drive in reverse through the pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection with Flatbush Ave. and directly into traffic. Adding a dock at the end of Chester Court, even if on the sidewalk, will make it more likely that drivers cannot turn around and have to reverse out, creating an additional hazard. Many drivers come down Chester Court looking for parking, sometimes multiple cars per minute during busy times. Conditions can already get hazardous, and anything that makes it more difficult for drivers to turn around will create additional hazards. Theres also an issue with standing water at the end of the Chester Court. I'd expect this effects the other dead ends off Flatbush as well.

You need to expand lower than Lenox road. Racist you don’t have bike racks here and you have them all the way into Windsor terrace

This would not be a suitable area there is a large church on the southeast corner of Dean St and Nostrand Ave and another large church on the southwest corner of Dean St and New York Ave—there is another church on the northeast corner of Bergen St and New York Ave. There are also bus routes that run in front of all these large churches.

The block of Brooklyn Avenue between Dean and Bergen Streets is not suitable. It is not a wide street and buses run on Brooklyn Ave as well as Dean and Bergen Sts.

This is a little triangle that wouldn't take up parking spots.

While i agree that being near the park is ideal, Rochester Ave is not a good road for biking - it is very tight and cars go fast. I think adding on any other side of the park makes more sense - particularly the south side for those outside of this area can still access.

Location next to a park, plus an underserved community, plus a high school, and right on a bike lane make this a good spot!
