Official city vehicles and civilian vehicles are always parked in the left turn lane. The left turn lane has not been possible to use for multiple years. It causes turning vehicles to cross the bike lane and I have seen cars hit cyclists.
This bike lane is unusable because there are cars, vans, trucks parked in it all day. No driver has ever been ticketed on this street.
Vehicles are constantly parked in this bike lane every single day. The bike lane can never be used. The NYPD never tickets or tows any vehicles parked illegally on this block.
Need to connect North-South bike lanes here
This road is the only path that makes my commute reasonable, a protected lane would make me feel so much safer here
The road here is quite bumpy meaning cyclists and cars often swerve to avoid potholes a protected lane and smoother roads would be a huge help!
Bike almost daily on this route and double parking here makes it feel very dangerous to cross flatbush at the same time as cars a protected bike lane would be huge!
This left turn from Atlantic Avenue onto Nevin Street is incredibly dangerous. The crash map data shows high incident numbers with both pedestrians and cyclist, just last month a car drove into my building on the corner, trying to jump the light and the pedestrians crossing. Atlantic Avenue is a vision zero priority corridor but this particular turn has not been addressed. It needs to be looked at immediately.
Please build this and take parking off one or two streets. Can it be shared safely with pedestrians or a bus, similar to an open street? As a daily bike commuter, it is crowded, dangerous, and frustrating to have the bike lane consistently blocked by double-parked cars and trucks. The block between Carlton and Vanderbilt on Dean is painfully bumpy and unsafe, with cars mowing over bikes due to construction. Streets around Bergen and Dean would be much calmer without bikes. There has to be a way to do this, occasionally letting in delivery trucks for moving, etc. Look at the percentages of car owners vs. bikers in these neighborhoods. Also, someone said to leave the parking for all the new towers going up! There is so little parking in this area; there will never be enough for towers, and that is why they build garages below. Thanks!
I use both a cargo bike & a car to transport my 2 children around Brooklyn. We all prefer the bike for trips < 5 miles. Our friends think we're crazy to ride around on a bike because the infrastructure is so poor and some drivers are lawless. I support this idea and hope it contributes to changing people's minds about the safety of using a bicycle for transportation in the city.
