Underhill Ave - Pacific St - Atlantic Ave - Brooklyn

I am in favor of the project, as a resident who routinely bikes on both Dean and Bergen. I am especially sensitive to how dangerous certain parts of each road are—especially when negotiating double parked vehicles, aggressive drivers, and car doors. Improving safety would significantly improve the livability of the area, and would contribute to community life—as has the bike boulevard project on Underhill.

I support the Dean & Bergen streets bike boulevards project, including an improved, protected bike lane. I am a resident of the area on Clinton and Amity Streets (236 Clinton Street). Currently, the bike space on Dean feels very narrow, and it's easy to come very close to vehicles when on a bike. Additionally, vehicles tend to speed and it would be great to implement methods to slow down traffic and increase safety. Thank you so much!

Dean St - 4 Ave - 5 Ave

This is a great idea. There are surely issues to address: access via a car from time to time or deliveries...but there aren't enough safe places to bike. This is a much bigger issue. (I'm also okay with losing parking on these streets.) If we had a dedicated bike boulevard across Dean + Bergen, it would open up so many possibilities - especially for the kids on our block (including my own). I'm too afraid to let my 12 year old daughter bike around the neighborhood. She loves biking - but she can only bike when we leave the city.

I am a regular B65 user and have waited at this corner for the B65 bus many times. Please don't change the route of this bus as it is the only East-West route in Central Brooklyn. Bikes and Buses can co-exist. Just have fewer cars.

I live on this relatively narrow street, which currently serves a truck route, 2 bus routes and a bicycle lane, as well as parking on both sides of the street. It is also a major route for emergency vehicles heading to downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan. Deliveries to my house, pick-ups/drop-offs by taxi or Uber and ambulance pickups are currently difficult. I am concerned that creating a bike boulevard on this street would make access to my home for these purposes impossible and/or even illegal. I have no objection to the bike boulevard if adjustments can be made so that there is adequate and safe access for deliveries, pickups, drop offs and emergency vehicles to the homes on my street.

I support any and all improvements to the bicycle infrastructure of this neighborhood. It would be wonderful to have a protected bike lane in both directions so that cyclists felt more safe commuting, and the neighborhood were quieter and had better air quality as a result of a reduction in car traffic

I regularly bike on this street and walk as a pedestrian since I live on this block. I am very supportive of a bike-only street. Cars are always double parking and blocking the bike lane. Multiple times i have been on a bus stuck on this street because of improperly parked cars. This bike way is essential for getting downtown Brooklyn or to Manhattan. I strongly support the re-design.

Both Dean and Bergen should both prioritize bus and bike, and PLEASE add substantial traffic calming measures to reduce traffic congestion. There are cars double parked here at all times, and delivery vans cutting the traffic, which also greatly disturbs the USPS hub that’s on the block and blocks access to the B65 bus

It would be amazing to have a protected bike lane on these streets, specifically on this stretch of Dean from Flatbush to Vanderbilt. I always feel so unsafe biking on this part especially because there’s been construction here for a long time and there’s always SO many cars double parked.
