Bike boulevards on Bergen & Dean Streets are a great idea! So important for kids to develop safe street riding skills given that they are not supposed to ride on the sidewalk once they turn 13, and there are not many places for them to practice. Car owners have enjoyed decades of free use of public space for their personal property. It's important we all share the space. Cyclists are not interlopers. Would be great if DOT promoted courteous riding skills, e.g. warning other cyclists & pedestrians before passing.

The bike boulevard is an awesome idea. More space for bikes, and fewer parking spaces please--drivers put everyone at risk, and we should minimize driving as much as possible

Classon Ave - Bergen St - St Marks Ave

This area sees frequent double-parking due to school dropoff. It would be great to eliminate some parking spaces here and turn them into permanent drop-off spaces. Also, making the bike lane on Classon a protected lane would help a lot.

Congress St - Clinton St - Court St

Please add a two way bike lane to Congress Street to allow riders to safely and quickly connect to the Brooklyn Greenway. Currently the west route on Bergen ends on Court Street. Riders wishing to get to Brooklyn Bridge Park and other waterfront attractions must either navigate deadly Atlantic Avenue or take a ~6 block detour via Kane Street

A bike boulevard on this street is a terrible idea! This street is too narrow for bicycles, trucks, buses, and cars. If there is a bike boulevard, how will people, especially the disabled and elderly, get deliveries, car services, and ambulance services. Please do not privilege bicyclists over residents. Consider a different block with less traffic. Don't eliminate the B65, which is an essential part of public transportation for residents.

Right now, there are two buses that go down this block. The B63 is a new addition, and it has created all sorts of safety issues for pedestrians. It regularly blocks the street at the corner of 4th and Bergen, so people cannot cross the street. These safety issues are compounded by bicyclists not obeying traffic lights and routinely occupying crosswalks. The bike boulevard would compound all of these issues for local residents.

The street is not wide enough for this, full stop. This decision must have been made in a vacuum, without visiting the actual site conditions to see for yourself. How on earth will the bike boulevard fit, unless at the expense of everything else that the community needs to function? Bikes are not the only mode of transportation that people need. The majority of residents will still depend on vehicles and the space needed to park one way or another: deliveries, taxi/ride share, emergency vehicles, moving in or out. The traffic right now is already terrible with TRUCKS (which I heard is the result of a historical typo that has never been fixed), delivery e-bikes, buses, all on top of regular traffic. This is a monumental impact on the people who live and work in the neighborhood.

Dean St - 6 Ave - Carlton Ave

This block is the most painful gap in the existing Dean St bike lane for two main reasons. First, literally the street is incredibly painful to ride on - the worst road surface I've ever seen. Second is parking - this street is a regular mess of delivery vehicles, double parked cars, and illegally parked police cars. This adds to the feeling of chaos. Most days, I choose to bike a less direct route home with few protected bike lanes because at least I can avoid the mess that is this block of Dean Street.
