As a resident, I would like to see Dean Street pedestrianized (no vehicles) - or only local vehicle traffic (in the style of a Low Traffic Neighborhood)

I constantly have vehicles encroaching my space while biking the stretch of Bergen west of 4th Avenue. Would love to see more protection for cycling and less mixing with vehicles (consider making the street bike and pedestrian only)

Can we also turn Bond Street into a protected bike lane or bike boulevard? The cars are constantly parked in the bike lane - and this is a commonly used route to get from Bergen to the Brooklyn Bridge

Make Bergen St bike and ped only (no cars - the cars already have every other street in the city!)

Please fix the timing of the intersection of Flatbush and Dean. Typically if you encounted a red light on Fifth Avenue and Dean, when the light turns green, you do not have enough time to cross Flatbush before it turns red. This encourages dangerous behavior to beat the light because no one wants to wait at the red light on Flatbush after having waited on a red light a short a block earlier on 5th. When the light turns green on Fifth, cyclists should have ample time to also cross Flatbush on a green light.

This stretch of Dean St. is horribly bumpy. The road has been eaten by all the construction that's been happening on this stretch. Please smooth the pavement before or as part of the boulevard project

As a long time resident of Dean Street, biker with a small child, and car owner, I have serious concerns regarding the proposed bike boulevard corridor. While I understand the city’s goals for expanding biking infrastructure, our street is not the problem. I am deeply concerned that the plan will severely reduce the quality of life for residents on our block and create unmanageable parking conditions. Dean Street is a residential community, not just a transit corridor. Converting this into a continuous bike boulevard risks turning our quiet residential street into a highly congested bottleneck for remaining vehicle traffic, while actively eliminating critical parking spaces that families, workers, and elderly residents rely on daily. The existing parking infrastructure is already beyond capacity (we need permit parking!); further reductions will significantly increase vehicle circling, which conversely elevates localized carbon emissions and creates more traffic friction, not less. Furthermore, sacrificing curb space heavily impacts the desirability and accessibility of living on this street. I urge the DOT to consider not placing the entire burden on a residential corridor, or to ensure the design has zero net loss of residential parking and robust protections for local vehicle access. Thank you for considering the feedback of the tax-paying people who actually live on Dean Street!

My kids go to school here. Parents and students at BHMS support this bike boulevard. Finally, my son will be able to ride his bicycle safely to school. Thank you for this! Remove all street parking and let's reclaim this space for kids, community, and commerce!
