UPS vans parked illegally right in front of the UPS store every single day, creating dangerous situations for pedestrians and cyclists.
Very narrow sidewalks in this area. Good opportunity to expand the protected bike lane along Bedford by removing one of the parking sides and expanding the sidewalk.
There's a school nearby and the visibility of this intersection is incredibly bad. Very dangerous for children to cross with buses coming down Rogers due to the big SUVs that frequently park on the pedestrian crossing or right next to it. Please implement hardened daylighting in these intersections.
Please connect the protected bike lane that stops on Dean Street with Eastern Parkway. We really need to start creating protected North-South pathways and Bedford Avenue has the space for it if we remove a some of the parking space and take the opportunity to expand the very narrow pedestrian area along these streets.
This intersection is incredibly unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. As a pedestrian, I'm afraid of crossing Atlantic Avenue due to the traffic coming from Bedford and turning towards Atlantic while I cross. They literally honk and drive towards you while you try to cross. It's a real shame the DOT hasn't done anything about improving the safety in this area.
Really poor pedestrian visibility here due to the cars parked next to the pedestrian crossing
Improve pedestrian visibility at the Grant Gore intersections. Visibility is really bad due to cars parked next to the pedestrians crossings in Bedford and Rogers. It's also very hard to see cyclists due to this and this creates dangerous situations
Please improve pedestrian visibility here
As a pedestrian, I am concerned about the streets being overrun by bikes while cars are still needed locally. From what I experience living in Prospect Heights over the last ten years, bikes follow there OWN rules while cars drive too fast. Increasing bike safety does not equal increasing pedestrian safety-particularly when it comes to delivery drivers.
"People are going to be parking illegally and double-parking if you replace one side of Bergen St of street parking into a bike lane. Absolutely not in favor of this. It will become a chaotic mess, unsafe with cars parking illegally to get to the neighborhood - to deliver packages, to do work on homes, etc." I could not agree with this more. The congestion on Bergen Street between Carlton Avenue and Flatbush Avenue is horrendous - buses, cars, bikes, electric scooters, police vehicles, double parking due to Bergen/Dean playround and the long-established summer basketball league. Where is all this traffic - vehicle - bikes and humans included - going to go if you close off one side of the street. Not to mention the proposed new HPD affordable and senior housing buildings planned for Bergen and Dean Streets. Seniors will need access to Access A Ride and delivery of services. Have you visited the sites? I'm all for bike lanes, but please do what is the plan for the buses, deliveries and police and fire vehicles? Stre
