Genuinely can’t believe the Atlantic / Bedford intersection remains so dangerous despite having been “fixed” by the DOT in the past. It definitely merits attention and investment
The DOT can’t leave these intersections just like they are right now with no safety improvements for pedestrians. Extend the curbs, improve visibility removing parking next to the pedestrian crossings and make sure traffic does not make turns to adjacent streets speeding while people try to get home. As a pedestrian, my neighborhood feels very dangerous now for no real reason.
I support the bike boulevards, but please let’s make sure the nearby streets don’t become thoroughfares with speeding cars sprinting through the neighborhood. Speeding measures should also be considered in nearby streets to calm traffic and ensure pedestrian safety
Finish the protected bike lane on Bedford 🙏🏻
No Citybikes available in this area. The ones in nearby streets are frequently full or have no space to park the bike. Should consider adding a few additional bike racks around this area given that many people use them to get to their subway stops
This intersection requires additional safety interventions from the DOT given the nearby school. Children regularly need to get on the road to actually confirm that cars are stopping at the red light because SUVs and vans are parked right next to the pedestrian crossings
I’ve lost count of the many near-accidents I’ve witnessed in this intersection due to the speeding traffic combined with buses and limited visibility due to cars being parked right next to the pedestrian crossing
Remove the vehicular parking lane from the west side of the triangle at Bedford Avenue between Dean and Bergen streets (Grant Gore) to expand and improve the open space. Expanded space could be used for seating and for public art created by local artists
Connecting Dean St and Eastern Parkway with a fully protected bike lane would significantly improve the overall connectivity of the Brooklyn bike network.
