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.

Kingston Ave - Midwood St - Rutland Rd

Cars often don't stop for people (and especially students!) crossing here. I've seen a lot of near misses.

Flatbush Ave - Fenimore St - Hawthorne St

As there is no crosswalk or light on Hawthorne to get from one side of Flatbush to the other this is normally the crosswalk I take to access the local B41 stop at Chester ct. the cars turning left onto Flatbush from Fenimore do not wait for pedestrians to cross before turning. This crosswalk should definitely receive daylighting measures to lessen the pressure for pedestrians to cross and avoid being hit by inpatient drivers.

Drivers speed like crazy here and do not stop at red lights. Fully support protected bike lanes but also daylighting every intersection in this area.
