I live Carlton Ave; Bike lanes need to be expanded take out an entire lane of parking, I walk to work on either on Bergen or Dean I notice MORE bikes than cars & bikes move traffic more efficiently & DON'T HONK relentlessly ALL MORNINGS!
Would love to have protected bike lanes on Dean and Bergen! It'd be amazing for people to be able to bike through Brooklyn (E/W) with a peace of mind.
LOVE the idea of bike boulevards for these two streets. The bike lanes on these routes are already very well used, and anything that adds more space and protection would help. Also, encouraging bikers to use this route will hopefully mean fewer bikers on routes without bike lanes.
As a frequent traveler on Dean St via walking, biking, and driving, I would love to see more traffic calming measures. Protected bike lanes will help break up the street width, causing all road users to slow down and improving safety for everyone
There is so much speeding here at all hours of the day and night. IT is shameful that people choose to speed without regard for others. This is somewhere where a raised crosswalk would be beneficial to dissuade speeders and provide more safe crossings for pedestrians.
Global concrete (and cement) production accounts for approximately 7% to 8% of total global CO₂ emissions, which is roughly equivalent to the entire global emissions of all passenger cars and buses combined. No concrete protected lanes.
As a biker, I believe this area is sufficient for bikers and cars. This street is narrow and I wouldn't want a redesign without true community input.
I commute on Dean and Bergen via bike to take my kids to school every day. Drivers going west blow through the stop sign at Bergen and Grand daily, and they actually have the nerve to be pissed off if they have to actually stop at the stop sign. Between the illegal parking in front of the car repair places, the lack of consequences for drivers blowing through stop signs (let alone having ghost plates...), and the massively increased traffic in the bike lane, vastly better protections are needed otherwise I fear there's going to be more deaths at the hands of cars soon
I walk on Bergen and Dean as a pedestrian every day, often with my two toddlers (5 and 3), to get to school, to do errands, etc. We are not big bike people, in large part because the drivers on Bergen are terrifying. They blow through the stoplights at Bergen and Washington a full ten-count after the light turns red, it feels like there's no safe time to cross, even if you have the green light. We would consider biking a lot more and visiting a much wider radius of small business in prospect heights and crown heights if we felt like there was a safe way to do so on a bike, and if the way the streets were set up forced drivers to go slower and not put them in conflict with pedestrians.
I would love love love walkable pedestrian path with trees, as well as a dedicated cycling area. The less cars the better
