too many car lanes encourages speeding making everyone unsafe. Bikelane would keep people on bikes safer and slow cars

This is a very wide, dangerous intersection, with drivers going in too many directions.

This is a very wide street that is a main route between Jamaica and downtown Brooklyn. There is plenty of room here for bikelanes, and those lanes would help to calm traffic, slowing drivers and making everyone safer.

Conduit Boulevard - Atlantic Ave - Wells St

I've driven here thousands of times and NEVER feel safe even as a motorist. Cars speed along at this merge point and it endangers all road users.

This is a busy intersection and cars too often blow through recent red lights to get to the super fast (and dangerous) stretches of both Atlantic & the North Conduit that follow.

zebra striping markings are not enough to slow speeding traffic and stop cars from weaving. Build out a real pedestrian refuge island here instead.

There was a 2014 fatality at Cleveland Street and each year there's been a half dozen or more injuries. Plus, there is a school just down the block so there are students naturally crossing here. This intersection ought to be prioritized in all ways... new signage, speed & red light cameras, the full DOT tool kit.

Look at the streetview. There's a cyclist and he is rarely the only one. DOT should pursue a bold redesign. Yes this is a truck route, but it needs to accommodate all other users too. Perhaps an expanded median/ mall like Allen Street that offers both ped & bike space fully separated from vehicular traffic?

Hendrix St - Atlantic Ave - Atlantic Ave

The concrete medians are not ata ll safe havens for pedestrians and none of them are ADA accessible. They all need to be rebuilt and made into safe zones for those on foot who cannot cross Atlantic Avenue in one shot. If you're wheelchair or walker bound, there are no ramps here on Hendrix or nearly any of the other crosswalks.

Miller Ave - Fulton St - Atlantic Ave

This is a direct connection back from Highland park and all downhill. We need better markings on signs and bold indicators on the ground to safely direct bikes and alert drivers that cyclists will be crossing Atlantic here, especially because of the tremendous speed a cyclists can gan simply from rolling down the Miller Ave hill .
