We really need to slow down traffic

Bike Lane Protection

Please extend the protected bike lane from Dean St up to Eastern Parkway. This area of Bedford Avenue is very unsafe for cyclists (and pedestrians) and would greatly benefit from a north/south protected bike lane connection

I have submitted several requests for the DOT to address the dangerous situation that speeding creates in Bedford and Rogers Avenues. I find it really hard to believe there's really nothing that can be done to improve pedestrian safety in Vision Zero priority corridors. I asked for speed humps = denied. I asked for additional signals reminding drivers of the speed limit = denied. How does the DOT expect to improve safety then? Do something!

This area would really benefit from safety measures for pedestrians. Cars frequently speed along Bedford and Rogers and there are public schools and senior centers nearby. Street improvement projects (SIP) to add daylighting, turn calming measures, extended leading pedestrian intervals and shortened pedestrian crossings are seriously needed here.

Poor Visibility

Poor pedestrian visibility due to the lack of daylighting in this area. SUVs regularly park their cars next to the pedestrian crossing.

Unsafe Crossing

I find it unbelievable that this is a Vision Zero intersection and it's so incredibly unsafe for cyclists and pedestrians. Why is there no leading pedestrian interval? Why is there no concrete pedestrian island? Why does it feel like you need to beg cars not to run over you? Please do something about this, there are way too many crashes here (and dozens of near accidents) to turn a blind eye

Illegal Parking

Auto shops along Atlantic always have cars parked on and across the sidewalks. Sidewalks are very narrow to begin with, so this forces pedestrians into three lanes of speeding traffic to get around. Only the brave, foolish, or mentally unwell walk along Atlantic for this reason, and that could be changed! DOT please commit to a road diet NOW. Reduce Atlantic to two lanes and widen the sidewalks. AAMUP means many more residents living on Atlantic in the near future.

Franklin is a thoroughfare for commuters going to and from the Fulton subway. The intersection at Atlantic and the block leading up to it are uncomfortable for pedestrians, with narrow sidewalks, litter, poor drainage, no daylighting, and short signals. Franklin could be reduced down to one through-lane BEFORE crossing Atlantic to minimize backups and frustrated drivers honking and making unsafe maneuvers. And with the influx of new residents and foot traffic from the AAMUP rezoning, Atlantic Avenue MUST be reduced to two lanes throughout the project area.

Unsafe Crossing

The extra wide crossing on Dean where Rogers and Bedford meet is dangerous and confusing as a pedestrian and cyclist. Cars speed by at 40mph and there is not enough room to stand safely in the middle of the crossing if you do not make it in time. Grant Plaza is useless as a neighborhood park. I would love for this block of Bedford to be closed entirely so that Grant Plaza could be extended, just like Underhill was closed to expand Lowry Triangle. Bergen's direction could reverse (except for bikes and buses) on the mini-block between Bedford and Rogers, forcing cars headed north on Bedford to turn right on Bergen then left onto Rogers.
