Rutland Rd - Rogers Ave - Nostrand Ave

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!

Empire Boulevard - Kingston Ave - Albany Ave

Upgrade Empire Blvd to protected bike lanes. Painted median is waste of space and just promotes speeding.

Fenimore St - New York Ave - Brooklyn Ave

The block of Fenimore between Brooklyn and NY Ave is wider than the rest of the corridor (34' vs 30') and could accommodate a protected bike lane in front of PS 397.
