Dean & Bergen Streets
More bike boulevards please! The Dean and Bergen one is a great idea.
the quality of the street on Dean is absolutely atrocious. pothole-ed to hell and frankly dangerous to ride bikes down for threat of being thrown off. I rely heavily on both Dean And Bergen bike lanes for my daily life and would like to see them fully protected as bike lanes and with attention paid to the condition.
Dean and Bergen already have bike lanes so why are we doing this exactly? Why is this of all things a priority right now? I guess a another question is -- what do residents and business along these streets and surrounding areas have to give up/ accommodate for these "boulevards"? Sounds good on paper (who wouldn't want safer biking) but how will it impact the entire area and all the ways these neighborhoods function (not just for those commuting on a bike to/from manhattan). No transparency on this, just an agenda. A good indication of where this is going is to look at the changes on Underhill and Court Street where residents and businesses are livid and in the process of suing the city.
I'm writing in favor of the Dean & Bergen bike boulevards. I use them for my commute to manhattan for work every week thank you.
i’m trying to comment on the Dean & Bergen bike boulevards. this is such a brilliant idea that would make Brooklyn a better place for my child to grow up in. I don’t own a car and take my child everywhere on my bike. Anything that makes it safer to do so deserves my full support.
Step one has to be getting the cars off of the sidewalk. It's such a nightmare to walk or bike through.
the problem is heavy truck traffic in an overbuilt no affordable public parking residential neighborhood. REMOVE trucks, build self parking garage these are narrow streets, save taxpayers money from unnecessary street modifications but provide affordable self parking garages
Adding my voice to several comments I already see: this street is horribly, horribly torn up with construction. It's quite unsafe to bike on as the potholes and construction equipment force cyclists to mix in with cars. Has been like this for what feels like more than a year.
This can be a scary intersection as a pedestrian, especially walking west. Cars whip around the corner taking the left from Dean to head north on Bedford, through the crosswalk. There were recently some improvements made that made it a bit better, but it's still rough. Some kind of traffic slowing (speed bump? something else?) would be great.
There's often cars double-parked on this block and speeding as well, which makes it feel unsafe to bike. A protected bike lane would be a great help for cycling safety and could help motorists as well by separating bikers from the part of the street where cars drive.
