NYC DOT is looking to improve safety for students who walk, bike, and ride in the neighborhood. To learn more about the project visit the Project Overview page or review the Community Board Presentation.
Please use this map to share any existing safety or transportation concerns in the project area, as well as your ideas for how DOT can improve safety on Brooklyn Ave and Kingston Ave. Your feedback will help inform the project design and improve safety for students!

there should be a physical protected bike lane on empire, it’s dangerous for delivery drivers and cyclists. And as a driver, I would like to see more traffic calming measures so there’s less accidents.
I live on this road and bike on it daily, and it's very dangerous and scary. I think a protected bike lane would go a long way towards making it a safer way for anyone to get around without needing a car.
Cars speed along this section all the time and I don't feel safe biking; having a protected bike lane would be a literally be a lifesaver in this chaotic environment.
Empire Boulevard feels unsafe to bike on. Needs protected bike lanes!
Since East NY/ Lincoln widens here, is there room to make this a proetcted bike lane rather than merely a buffered painted bike lane. If not here, because of school buses parkign near St Francis, what about farther west. It may be out of the scope of this project's perimeter, but we have no protected lanes...yet.
Despite the stop signs, I often find motor vehicles not yielding right of way to traffic coming east on Maple Street here. When I am on a bike, in the bike lane, they barely see me or my kids, and tend to blow through the stop signs they have rather then proceed. Narrowing the roadway would help slow their mph a bit and maybe make it more tolerable. This corner already has neckdowns, but Kingston is still far too wide for the street to feel safe to pedestrians or cyclists.
Please fill out these as PBLs- they would provide a safe route between schools and prospect park+ other train lines, increasing safety and accessibility, especially when it's dark outside or drivers speed- as they do.
great proposal along brooklyn and kingston aves! but make these lanes along rutland and fenimore protected bike lanes as well, instead of conventional ones. you know the safety benefits brought by PBLs, so just install them here too. zero reason to introduce additional risk to people when you're already doing the right thing on different roads *in the same project* thanks!
