Being born with a disability, this route change does not account for when I have to wait for ride shares or city appointed transportation to my appointments. How will they come get me ? What does this do to my commute to and from . I will feel like a prisoner in my home .
This is a school. Making this a bike blvd will make discriminate against parents who do not drop their child off via bike. With bus stops less than a block away in each direction it also allows for those who have mobility challenges to easily obtain access. Changes this is a violation.
yes please to bike boulevard! Sorely needed
Please put a speed bump on this block of Pacific Street! We have many young children on the block, and cars are routinely speeding to avoid traffic on Atlantic. The block before ours is not as residential so I think they have a false sense of security. I'm also worried that more cars will come down Pacific once the bike boulevard is implementd on Bergen.
This is a triangular street grid that is often blocked by vehicles not yielding at the corner, bus route, NYPD parking issues that would need to be ameliorated before creating a bus boulevard. It is heavily used by pedestrians, cyclists, deliveries and vehicles. Please be sure to implement "real time study" information. Please consult with the North Flatbush Avenue BID and the NYC DOT Bus Priority Project under construction.
Underhill is much better than it used to be, but it still doesn't feel safe. Impatient drivers frequently race past me. I would encourage the DOT to make a much more ambitious approach on Underhill and on the new Bergen/Dean bike boulevards - more redirects for car traffic (ideally at every intersection) so no one uses the street for through traffic. More bike/ped only blocks. More physical protection for cyclists whenever we do need to share space with automobiles.
Can we have some blocks be pedestrian/bicycle only? I think the DOT should challenge the notion that every block should be accessible to cars.
Can the DOT add a protected bike lane to Vanderbilt as part of this project? That way we can safely get to the new bike boulevards!
Bergen / Dean cyclists need more protection from cars - the section between 4th Ave and Bond Street is very dangerous, with cars frequently speeding past very close to me. I would request the DOT limit it to only local vehicle traffic on each block (with Low Traffic Neighborhood inspired redirects each block), having a fully protected bike lane, or - even better - shut down this section to vehicle traffic completely.
Implement hardened daylighting, turn calming, neckdowns, extended leading pedestrian intervals... this area has seen several deaths in 2026 and it's still being neglected by the DOT. Safety measures are urgently needed
