Illegal parking by cops near this corner, abandoned trashed vehicles, bent bollards make this whole area feel unsafe. I recommend removing parking on this small area between Flatbush and 6th (and enforcing that cops don't flagrantly disobey it).
Bergen Street would be an amazing bike thoroughfare -- if it wasn't for all the trucks and buses. Nothing makes a biker feel less safe than getting passed by a huge truck with two wheels fully in the bike lane. The bus drivers are more respectful but it's still not comfortable to have a bus pass you given the width of the street.
During Barclays Center events, there is often double parking in the bike lane.
Drivers regularly park in the bike lane along Dean St. on the blocks between Nevins and Flatbush, including between 3rd and 4th Ave. Given the popularity of the bike lane along these blocks, compared to motor vehicle traffic, the bike lane needs proper protection from vehicle parking. Parking along the block, as a whole, could easily be eliminated, creating more space for deliveries.
Drivers regularly cut through the neighborhood and speed along this block to beat the light and turn onto 4th Avenue or continue onto Flatbush Ave. Nevins to 3rd Ave has two speed bumps, but there are none on this block.

Unfortunately, school buses (from Luria Academy I think?) are always parked in this bike lane around 3 PM. There is an existing no standing zone right there, but I assume teachers use it for parking? Either way, would be useful if more of the block was cleared of parking so the school buses can pull right up to the curb.
Can we also create a north south boulevard on brooklyn ave please?
Cars are always blocking the box here, making it very difficult to get to the bike lane. Maybe this is because of the NYPD car storage, maybe it has something to do with the timing of lights on Flatbush and Atlantic? I don't know the answer. All I know is that this is a consistent problem.
