This stretch of vanderbilt desperately needs to be fixed. It is so unpleasant to bike down that I opt to bike in the middle of Flatbush Avenue up to St. Marks to avoid it.
I would like to see the bike lane upgraded to a protected lane (similar to the recent Court St redesign), which will preserve the B65 bus route. Vehicles are constantly parked in the bike lane outside Chelsea Piers Fitness/Fieldhouse and causes extremely unsafe conditions.
Building a bike lane that takes away parking will block access to two churches on Bergen and Bedford where the majority of parishioners drive to services. Eliminating parking will reduce access to these religious institutions and make it harder for their majority elder populations to attend.

I would like to highlight the importance of the B65 bus to this community. This route serves neighborhoods that are home to many of Brooklyn's oldest residents, along with individuals who rely on public transit because they do not own a car or have limited mobility. Whether through the proposed Bike Boulevard or by relocating the B65 to another street, any reduction in convenient bus access could have a disproportionate impact on seniors and other vulnerable residents. Where is the compassion for those who depend on this service every day? When do they become a priority in the planning process? Why should some of the city's oldest and lowest-income residents bear the burden of these changes? Most importantly, what practical, accessible alternatives are being provided to ensure they can continue to reach medical appointments, grocery stores, places of worship, and other essential destinations?
Would love a protected bike lane! Ideally along the entirety of Dean St, connecting Atlantic Ave Barclays Center and the bike path along Brooklyn Bridge Park. Thank you so much!
Pedestrians and cars are hit by bikers who run red lights and make illegal turns into traffic. Now that Mamdani has legalized hit and runs as well as all traffic infractions by bikers, motorists and pedestrians are even more at risk. Encouraging more lawless biking is putting us all at risk. Additionally, disenfranchising 99 percent of the people who live, work and attend faith services along the corridors of Bergen and Dean Streets is unconscionable. Why is Mamdani playing the role of plantation owner, privileging bikers over all others? How is it that bikers have literally been given a free pass to break any law, including running over pedestrians with no repercussions, while all others on the road pay the price? This is not what I voted for. Were his campaign promises about giving voice to the common people who don’t get heard, all a lie? Seems like the only voices Our mayor thinks are important are those of bikers. It truly saddens me. I was hoping for so much more when I voted for him!
The B65 is the only east/west transit within the neighborhood (not running on the perimeter). What will happen to this bus route? There are already other routes that run along Atlantic Ave.
Bike riders traveling down Vanderbilt and Bergen/Dean often run the red light or stop in the pedestrian cross walk. This is very dangerous for pedestrians and there should be a mechanism to stop or fine these types of bike riders. Some travel at high speeds and try to wind around people crossing the street.
