This bike boulevard will make life safer for every child, teen, and adult on Bergen and Dean streets. Cars currently use these streets as alternatives to Atlantic avenue, but they speed, double park, open door without looking, and turn recklessly which makes life unsafe for us all. The bus would still run as normal on most of these blocks!!! NYC should be a mecca for pedestrians and bikers, and a world leader in non-car-centered infrastructure. Support the bike boulevard and support safer streets!

I am strongly in favor of expanding bike infrastructure here, and I would specifically ask for a protected bike lane along the entire stretch of Dean St. A two-way could very nice, or it would also be great to have one protected bike lane on Dean and the other on Bergen. Very supportive of this project, which would make life safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable for myself and neighbors!

The DOT should take advantage of this new bike boulevard to extend the protected bike lane in Bedford Avenue beyond Bergen up to Eastern Parkway and improve the north-south connectivity of the bike network. This stretch between Bergen and Eastern Parkway feels incredibly unsafe due to speeding traffic and lack of respect for the painted bike lane

Prospect Heights resident and regular cyclist. I support a westbound bike boulevard on Bergen/Dean (or an alternate nearby street if it reduces conflict with drivers). The key link is westbound into the Ashland Place protected lanes toward the Navy Yard and the bridges: it would get me biking to work and unlock bike drop-off and pick-up for my young children, which I would only do in protected lanes. A boulevard also pulls cyclists out of dangerous intersections like Atlantic and Flatbush. Please design separated space for bikes, buses, and cars, with buses separated from bike traffic.

The left turn lane makes biking here feel really dangerous. I'd appreciate physical separation here so drivers are less likely to run me over trying to make the turn onto Vanderbilt

I live on Dean Street and 4th Avenue and strongly support the bike boulevard. Like many residents of the neighborhood, I do not own a car and prefer to walk, bike, or take public transit. Dean and Pacific streets are essential to the bicycle network, but as others have pointed out, cars speed on these streets despite there being multiple schools located directly on them. Please slow down traffic and make the bike lanes safer.

Unsafe Crossing

09/24/2026 - 23:11

There is low visibility here for pedestrians to see the high speed traffic on Atlantic Avenue turning right. Cars can be parked way too close to the crosswalk so seeing any oncoming traffic until they are right in front of you is not possible. Crossing here is a roll of the dice of almost getting hit.

Put secure bike parking here or make it a public plaza with plants and trees. The street here is no longer used for anything.
