This block is very dangerous. Two bus routes and a truck route. Trucks often go way too fast. They are a danger to pedestrians.

Illegal Parking

Bergen St - 4 Ave - 5 Ave

A hydrant right around here often has cars illegally parked, idling and creating air pollution and noise.

This corner serves BOTH the B65 and the B63 bus lines. The B63 was rerouted along this block with little to no communication or dialogue with the residents of this block. The B63 has to take a left from 5th Avenue onto this NARROW stretch of Bergen Street. Often traffic on 5th Ave is backed up because of congestion from Barclay's Center patrons combined with the Flatbush Avenue "redesign" to make it a 1-lane-per-direction vehicular route. This means that traffic cannot proceed along 5th Ave, and the B63 Bus blocks traffic - including emergency vehicles - that need to progress along Bergen Street between 4th and 5th Avenues. With two bus lines along the block, there is a great deal of additional noise from engines, honking as traffic contends with double-parkers and delivery vehicles, and air pollution from vehicle waste.

Hi I think that this project is not a good idea because a lot of bike lanes already exist. This will cause traffic congestion to increase, also with the added bike lanes, it makes the roads smaller and when EMS or police try to get thru the traffic it’s impossible to move out of the way.

As a frequent pedestrian here, I am concerned about the combination of bus traffic (B65 and B63) plus trucks that are rerouted, plus e-bike delivery people who do not follow traffic rules and often ride on the sidewalk, plus the high volume of police, fire, and ambulance traffic that regularly use this particular block.

This block is used as a re-route for trucks, the only residential block along Bergen Street to suffer this particular affliction. Trucks regularly barrel their way down the block at very high and dangerous speeds.

This block is particularly problematic for ordinary vehicle drivers. It is far narrower than many other stretches of Bergen Street, and cars must share the road with the B65 bus, the B63 bus, trucks that have been routed, an existing bike lane, traffic overflow from the narrowing of Flatbush Avenue to be essentially a 1-lane road in either direction, e-bike delivery people driving against traffic, double parking, delivery vehicles blocking through-traffic, and emergency vehicles (police, fire, and ambulances). It is already overwhelmed.
