Bike

A designated bike lane is unsafe for residents who need to access their homes from a car, especially those with young children like us. The fact that the e-bikes go as fast as they do is a serious safety threat to our children. They'll go EVEN faster if they have their own lane. It is unsafe for other bikers and pedestrians and impossible for residents to access their homes when exiting a car. The barrier is unsafe for children to stand on to wait to cross.

Illegal Parking

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.

Unsafe Crossing

The pedestrian crossings in this area of Bedford are a nightmare with buses, speeding cars and bike lanes that don't respect the pedestrian timing to cross the street. Implementing SIP solutions here (extended curbs, no parking next to the pedestrian crossings, bollards...) would go a long way to improve the safety of this area.

Why do we allow cars to park right next to the pedestrian crossings in these intersections when the DOT knows that reduces visibility -particularly for children- and puts pedestrians at risk?

I have lost count of amount of times I have witnessed children from nearby schools being at risk here due to the poor pedestrian visibility in this intersection, particularly for cars coming down from Rogers. Cars park right next to the pedestrian crossing in Bergen (if not literally on the crossing) and make it really hard to see incoming vehicles. It's really unsafe given there's also a bus lane

Please explain why there is a block of concrete impeding people with reduced mobility safely cross this street

Very unwelcoming and unsafe intersection for pedestrians due to the traffic speed and lack of safety measures (daylighting, extended curbs, etc.)

Very unsafe intersection for pedestrians due to the speeding traffic and overall design of the pedestrian crossings. One of them even has a block of concrete in the middle of the pedestrian way, making people trip when they walk distracted

Bike Lane Protection

My family and I are in strong support of protected bike lanes or better yet, bike boulevards on Bergen & Dean Streets. It would be an amazing corridor that would give safe, bikeable connections to a wide swath of communities along this much traveled corridor. It's clear that people of all ages using bikes as a form of transportation has increased dramatically, including commuters, shoppers, people transporting and/or accompanying children to school, tourists and of course, delivery people. Cities around the world like Paris, London, Copenhagen, Oslo, Tokyo, Vancouver and parts of the US like Portland and Hoboken have made their cities much more liveable, rideable and walkable using strategies like this - NYC can too!

Bike Lane Protection

the confluence of chelsea piers double-parking, bus lane, dean street fire station, USPS annex, and 10+ years of ongoing construction, has made this a very dangerous blocks for cycling. It also used as a alternate route for cars looking to avoid Atlantic Ave. and with ~9,000 new residents on the block in the last decade increasing bike and pedestrian traffic, it's in dire need of a protected bike lane.
