It would be cool if there was some kind of treatment to allow "right turn yield on red", since the Smith Street bike lane is usually empty and cyclists can turn right from Bergen onto Smith without conflicting with cars, and many cyclists are taking this route during the AM commute
This is a heavily commercial block - both in terms of commercial businesses with delivery needs, warehouses, driveways, garages, PD and FD parking, a protected lane does not belong on this block.
It would be nice if this was made into a yield for Bergen Street, since traffic on Grand Ave is pretty sparse

It's annoying when biking through here that you usually have to wait separately at 5th Ave and Flatbush Ave when heading east on Dean Street. It would be nice if the green lights were timed together so that when 5th Ave turns green, Flatbush Ave turns green within a few seconds. Even if you don't change the light cycles, making them go green together would help people on Dean a lot
Timing the traffic lights for a green wave on Bergen/Dean would be really awesome!
this block of dean must be slightly narrower than others - cars frequently double park in the bike lane here, and the bus is not able to get past leading to lots of honking until the bus driver can get the double parker's attention. it would be great if these streets were both bus and bike only, as it would make them more efficient and safer for both modes of transport!
I don’t understand what is supposed to happen to the B65. This bus has been on Dean and Bergen for a very long time. I am very supportive of more bike infrastructure but why not on other E/W streets where the bus doesn’t operate? Better yet, consider removing some cars from Dean and Bergen St to make the bike and bus able to coexist here. Very shortsighted proposal.
There is frequently lots of illegal and disorganized parking around the Dean Playground — particularly when sports events are going on. There should be physical barriers to illegally parking around the edges of the playground and park here to ensure that it is open to the street.
the transitions between bergen/dean and the protected 4th ave bike lane probably need to be hardened. it feels like most days when I turn from bergen onto the southbound 4th ave bike lane, I have to bike in the street for the first block because the entrance to the bike lane is blocked by an idling truck or van (the constant construction along 4th also makes this worse)
