I think it's very inconsiderate and outrageous that DOT wants to make Both Den Street and Bergen Street bike and pedestrian only streets . As a tax payer and a resident of Deb Street I want to keep the buses running on Dean street !
Changing the route of the B65 would be a hardship for all the residents of Crown Heights
The streets already has a bike line. The B65 shares the same road however it doesnt restrict the bike path. I have lived in the neighborhood for many years. It has never been an issue with bikes however re-routing the route will take more time to get there. Routing to Atlantic Ave will cause more dangerous access point for everyday riders. It will make matters worse for everyone. No one also really was giving a say on how this was even a thought. Not fair to the residence and the surrounding community.
This proposal is fueled by newcomer neighbors without consideration of legacy communities or community boards. It significantly and wrongly diminishes the needs of most of the community who live here. Apparently it is motivated by people who want to bike their kids to schools out of the neighborhood. Question: why don't people who move here, have their kids attend local schools?
If this is needed for kids to ride to school, the bigger question is why aren't these students attending schools in their neighborhoods? Are those schools not good enough? The MTA provides Metro Cards. Why aren't students using the bus? Why change 10 miles of two streets for a select few? Let me guess: gentrification!!!
This is just another way to get native New Yorkers to leave the very places they held down when no one wanted to be here. This plan would eliminate parking which the Weeksville Heritage Center relies on for their visitors. Of course DOT does not care because it is only catering to one demographic. NO to this bike blvd.
I was born and raised in Central Brooklyn. My family and friends do not utilize these bike lanes. We are not opposed to the bike lanes currently in place, but we are opposed to the Bergen & Dean Sts. Bike Blvd. The current bike lanes work fine and are not intrusive. The blvd plan will diminish our quality of life. I am a senior and DOT has no plans for New Yorkers aging in place. The only plans DOT comes up with are more, more bike lanes to appease a small percentage of the population. This is more about elitism than safety. Who is running DOT? Transportation Alternatives?
DOT recently added painted neckdowns here (great!), but there are no planters or any other physical obstacles to prevent cars from continuing to park exactly the same way they did before. Please review this!
A bike Blvd on this street would cause significant hardships to the elderly and handicapped whoo need easy access to access a ride
Please add plastic bollards to reduce the speed of cars turning at the intersection and daylighting measures to improve pedestrian visibility!
