I actively avoid biking around this area due to how poorly designed it is
Can we please add bike racks alongside Bedford Avenue?
Never felt so unsafe walking down the street. This area is a literal pedestrian hellscape with buses and bike lanes fighting for the space while cars are speeding, trucks honk and SUVs are leaving and entering the nearby gas stations.
The fact that Atlantic Avenue remains so dangerous for pedestrians should be a shame for the DOT!
Remove the parking spots next to the Grand Gore plaza and add space for pedestrians and bike racks
Entering the protected bike lane heading towards Atlantic is not intuitive at all and the speed / volume of the traffic doesn't help either
it's time to start focusing on creating a *NETWORK* of protected bike lanes instead of creating new stretches of unprotected bike lanes just for the sake of pretending to be making progress. Connecting Bedford with Eastern Parkway would be *GREAT* for the area and provide a safe north / south connection to the Dean / Bergen boulevard
Too many trucks going down Bedford in a residential area
I see a lot of double parking and cars weirdly squeeing themselves into little spaces along here, especially on the north side of Bergen. When a car is double parked it forces passing cars into the bike lane on the south side making it dangerous.
Dean Street is always full of double-parked cars. Now, with the construction, the street has too many potholes too. I don't ride on Dean to go east anymore because I don't feel safe. A protected bike lane on Dean is long overdue.
