Very unsafe crossing for cyclists and pedestrians in the Nostrand Av area that could be improved with traffic calming measures
Cars speed towards Atlantic Avenue in this area. Please add traffic calming measures
How many accidents (and near accidents) do we need here for the DOT to prioritize this dangerous intersection? It's a VZV Priority Intersection and it's still one of the most dangerous places for pedestrians in NYC. We need raised concrete curbs, real pedestrian islands, traffic calming measures, better signaling and better handling of the traffic light timing to cross the streets. It's so dangerous right now!
Cars and trucks continuously drive on the Bedford Av bike lane past Dean St!!
Need to calm down the traffic at Bedford for any of these bike lanes to be truly safe. Cars and trucks now speed through and it's very dangerous for everyone. Please add speed cameras, bumps, pedestrian refuge islands and curb extensions to force drivers to make slower, wider turns.
Probably one of the worst intersections for pedestrians in all of NYC. Not exaggerating
Dean and Bergen already have bike lanes. Why are we doing this exactly? These are multi use streets that should remain that way and they remain accessible for all, not just bikes and ebikes (which is really what we're taking about here, more ebikes). By all accounts the bike redesign on Court Street and Underhill have been disaster for residents & businesses in those areas. Court street neighbors even tried suing the city it's been so bad for multiple reasons. There is this mad obsession with prioritizing bikes over every other mode of transportation (including walking) in the city but very little serious look at the short & long term consequences of them. Neighborhood concerns are ignored. I say all this as both a bike rider and car owner.
I am in full support of the Bike Boulevards on both Bern & Dean. These bike lanes will be critical east west paths for cyclists and deliveristas. I would like to see it curb seperated, push the parking outbound and have a raised path if possible.
I don't agree with the plan to make Bergen Street a bike boulevard. There is a bus (B65) running on this street and the street is too narrow to accommodate cars, a bus and parking space. St Marks or Prospect are much wider streets (with no bus traffic) and would make more sense for a bike boulevard.
Fulton is used excessively for vehicle traffic and lacks prioritizing bicycle rides. Cars can travel on Atlantic. Frequent speeding and dangerous passing of vehicles while cycling to get to and from home in the area. Requesting a protected bike lane to improve safety for drivers and bicyclist in the area.
