Please do not reroute the bus. Having the stop here is one of the main ways I get home. Atlantic ave is not safe enough to be directing more pedestrians to for transit. The population on these blocks is comprised of many elderly residents who rely on the close proximity of the bus.

This is a terrifying intersection to cross. There is not ample time for pedestrians or cyclists to go ahead of turning cars.
I always use the bus stop here and would appreciate if it was not relocated. Having buses going down Bergen and Dean is my main way of getting around. It’s much calmer than having to cross Atlantic which is stressful to cross.

Related to the low-visibility comment here, this intersection is often really difficult to navigate, and bikers and drivers can get into altercations.
Re: Dean&Bergen Bike Blvd Project: There's been no community engagement, no transparency. Current bike lanes are sufficient. Very disappointed with the Mayor.
The bus stops along Dean and Bedford in this area are vital for people in eastern Crown Heights to access downtown Brooklyn shopping and dining. Atlantic Avenue around Barclays is already a hectic mess with traffic due to all the double-parked ubers, delivery people, event traffic, and more. Please keep the bus stops on Dean and Bergen, so that people can utilize them without having to get involved in that busy mess on Atlantic.
Traffic light timing should be changed here and bike signals installed, so that Rogers Ave and the northbound bike lane turn green first, to allow bikes to safely cross the intersection while transitioning from the right side of the northbound traffic on Bedford Ave to the left side of northbound traffic on Bedford Ave. Then after the bikes have an adequate headstart to get across, the northbound signal on Bedford could proceed to green. Currently, it's already dangerous enough for cars merging here when both northbound lights are green at the same time, much less with bikes involved AND with bikes having to change sides of the lane of traffic. Chaos. Whoever came up with the current design clearly did not think it through. We also need separate signals for pedestrians and bikes crossing northbound at Atlantic while the left turn signal is red, and a separate signal cycle for left turns from Bedford onto Atlantic (with no pedestrian crossing allowed during that phase.) It is very difficult to make the left turn without putting pedestrians or cyclists at risk, and if you patiently wait for pedestrians to cross, inevitably, some impatient driver behind you will get tired of honking, whip out around you into another lane (illegally turning from the middle lane) and nearly hit the pedestrians in the crosswalk anyhow.
