Cars constantly parked/idling in the bike lanes on this block, probably because of the park? Protect the bike lane so drivers need to idle elsewhere, please

Lots of huge trucks on this part, which is already narrowed by construction and ridiculous paving/covered metal slabs to skid on…
I'm a Prospect Heights resident, a parent of young children, and a certified League Cycling Instructor who has taught bike safety in Brooklyn schools. I strongly support the Bergen/Dean Bike Boulevard. I ride these corridors with my kids regularly, and the current painted lanes don't work. They're blocked by double-parked cars and delivery vehicles daily, the pavement is torn up from years of construction, and drivers use both streets as cut-throughs to avoid Atlantic and Flatbush. A painted line is not infrastructure. Families in this neighborhood want to bike to school and around Brooklyn, and many simply won't until these streets are genuinely safe.
There is a significant amount of double parking and blocking the bike lane on Dean between Nostrand and Rogers. This is particularly bad in front of the UPS store on the Nostrand side of the block. I recommend removing parking in front of the shop and adding more loading zone spaces. I would feel safer as a cyclist if it was a protected bike lane with bollards or physical barriers to keep cars from double parking in the bike lane.
No bike boulevard! area is too congested with trucks, pedestrians and now a ridiculous bus lane which will push more traffic to streets like Bergen and Dean. NO!!!!
This proposal is unacceptable to the disabled. Buses need to go down Bergen and Dean. How dare you even think of making it more difficult for the disabled who rely on that bus. Also this complaint form website is very difficult to navigate
I think it's very inconsiderate and outrageous that DOT wants to make Both Den Street and Bergen Street bike and pedestrian only streets . As a tax payer and a resident of Deb Street I want to keep the buses running on Dean street !
Changing the route of the B65 would be a hardship for all the residents of Crown Heights
The streets already has a bike line. The B65 shares the same road however it doesnt restrict the bike path. I have lived in the neighborhood for many years. It has never been an issue with bikes however re-routing the route will take more time to get there. Routing to Atlantic Ave will cause more dangerous access point for everyday riders. It will make matters worse for everyone. No one also really was giving a say on how this was even a thought. Not fair to the residence and the surrounding community.
