This whole street could be closed to vehicles and turned into a pedestrian and bike only plaza. Especially for events at Barclays, the popularity of the restaurants around the corner. The little community garden could also be expanded into a real park that is open all the time. And then the future development of those big box stores could activate this new plaza further with ground floor retail. And add a city bike station at the corner of Dean and Flatbush!!!!

There is an open tree bed on the sidewalk in front of Dean St playground that is a daily nuisance for strollers and wheelchairs. Because the cops park on the sidewalk, it's impossible to navigate around the tree bed and it's extremely dangerous and inconvenient.

Don't listen to the other comment here. Bike infrastructure is much needed and makes the neighborhood better for everyone. Move cars, trucks, and buses over to Atlantic which is the major thouroughfare. These small neighborhood streets should not be heavily trafficed. In fact, I wish you made the whole area between 4th and Court steet, Atlantic and 3rd St a slow neighborhood with no through streets (maybe only Union). Instead force cars to turn every two blocks so they can't easily cut through.

Close the left hand turn lane for cars. Turn the lane space into an island for pedestrians or bikes who are crossing the street. Add plants to this space as well (ideally a tree for shade). Closing this left lane will allow you to rework the traffic lights so vehicles going straight will have more time to get through the light. It will help reduce traffic jams on 4th. It will also reduce auto traffic on Bergen.

Put 3 no parking, loading only spaces in front of the Bergen Condos. This should be reserved for uber/lyft/taxi drop off and pickup, and other delivery and not space for parking. With no loading zone here there is often double parked vehicles or delivery trucks blocking the street and then traffic backs up and selfish car and truck drivers blast their horns disrupting life for everyone who lives nearby. A loading zone here would solve this problem. Also close bergen from being a truck route, and move the buses over to atlantic.

Don't let cars go down this road. Make it bike and pedestrian only between flatbush and 5th. Rework the paving to tripple the width of each sidewalk, give the businesses there outdoor space, make this a permanent change. This street could be so cool if it was a plaza instead of a road.

This is a residential block and can't possibly be used as a bike boulevard, a truck route, an emergency vehicle route, and now TWO bus routes. The traffic constantly backs up and stuck buses and double-parked cars mean that people just lean on their horns or bike bells, disrupting residents trying to work or sleep. Taking parking away will not fix the traffic and will only mean that residents don't have anywhere to even pull over to unload families or groceries. Many of these need to be routed to a commercial street like Atlantic or a two-way street like Union Street.

Truly the worst section for riding a bike on Dean. Just terribly paved. Creating a boulevard needs to take into account how the road is designed and paved for cyclists and how each type of traffic on that road affects (and costs) the paved sections. (Cars have a high impact to a paved surface in comparison to bikes or pedestrians, resulting in a higher cost of maintenance overall).
