Please do not reroute the bus. Having the stop here is one of the main ways I get home. Atlantic ave is not safe enough to be directing more pedestrians to for transit. The population on these blocks is comprised of many elderly residents who rely on the close proximity of the bus.

This is a terrifying intersection to cross. There is not ample time for pedestrians or cyclists to go ahead of turning cars.

I always use the bus stop here and would appreciate if it was not relocated. Having buses going down Bergen and Dean is my main way of getting around. It’s much calmer than having to cross Atlantic which is stressful to cross.

Related to the low-visibility comment here, this intersection is often really difficult to navigate, and bikers and drivers can get into altercations.

The bus stops along Dean and Bedford in this area are vital for people in eastern Crown Heights to access downtown Brooklyn shopping and dining. Atlantic Avenue around Barclays is already a hectic mess with traffic due to all the double-parked ubers, delivery people, event traffic, and more. Please keep the bus stops on Dean and Bergen, so that people can utilize them without having to get involved in that busy mess on Atlantic.

Traffic light timing should be changed here and bike signals installed, so that Rogers Ave and the northbound bike lane turn green first, to allow bikes to safely cross the intersection while transitioning from the right side of the northbound traffic on Bedford Ave to the left side of northbound traffic on Bedford Ave. Then after the bikes have an adequate headstart to get across, the northbound signal on Bedford could proceed to green. Currently, it's already dangerous enough for cars merging here when both northbound lights are green at the same time, much less with bikes involved AND with bikes having to change sides of the lane of traffic. Chaos. Whoever came up with the current design clearly did not think it through. We also need separate signals for pedestrians and bikes crossing northbound at Atlantic while the left turn signal is red, and a separate signal cycle for left turns from Bedford onto Atlantic (with no pedestrian crossing allowed during that phase.) It is very difficult to make the left turn without putting pedestrians or cyclists at risk, and if you patiently wait for pedestrians to cross, inevitably, some impatient driver behind you will get tired of honking, whip out around you into another lane (illegally turning from the middle lane) and nearly hit the pedestrians in the crosswalk anyhow.

This intersection is dangerous for pedestrians, bikers, and drivers, because the traffic light timing for vehicles heading southbound on Washington does not allow the cars to clear the intersection, which consistently causes a blocked box, honking, angry and aggressive driving, all for no reason. The southbound lights on Washington at Pacific and Dean need to stay green longer than the signal at Atlantic, so that the signal at Atlantic turns red first, but there's still time for cars to continue to move forward at Pacific and Dean, to allow the backup of traffic to fully clear the intersection at Atlantic. You can observe this intersection at any time of day and you will see there are always southbound cars stuck blocking the box at Atlantic. This then rolls into the E/W signal cycle, and then those drivers end up driving aggressively and angrily because they couldn't pass for so long while waiting for the southbound drivers to inch forward. Meanwhile, bikers and pedestrians are stuck playing frogger through the blocked box traffic to get across the street. DOT, please fix this traffic light timing to make this intersection safer for everyone.

My comment submitted on 8/10/26 at 18:22 was intended to be placed here, not on the block between Rogers and Nostrand. Please adjust.

There already is not enough parking for residents who rely on vehicles for work, those with disabilities, the elderly, etc. Between the 3 churches surrounding this block, each of which gets a huge chunk of street real estate reserved for them with a no parking zone that is only used one day a week (why can't it be available for parking the other days?? They already don't pay taxes...why do they get so much permanently reserved public space that residents' tax dollars pay for??) we absolutely cannot afford for a protected bike lane to remove even a single parking space from this or surrounding blocks. We already have bike lanes. Use them. The public streets need to work for everyone, not just the elite few. Most of us are not commuting via bicycle. This block has over 200 residential units on it, counting individual apartments. Many of them own vehicles that are necessary in their daily lives. Currently, people visiting or working in the commercial district on Nostrand use our residential side street parking so they don't have to pay. All of these factors make it very difficult for the people who live here to park. If this project moves forward (and it shouldn't, the people living on these blocks do not support it) you MUST make it such that all existing parking spaces remain (simply put the bikes between the curb and the parking lane, but keep both lanes of parking) AND implement parking permits so that ONLY residents of these blocks can park on them. Even then, there aren't even enough spaces for each household to have a permit. St. Marks is a very wide street, why isn't that looked at for an option for the bikes to cross through Crown Heights? Putting a protected bike lane there would impact no one, there's already more than enough space without removing a single parking spot.
