Dean St - Classon Ave - Franklin Ave

We live a block from this intersection and we are welcoming a new child into our family next month. Turning Bergen and Dean into a bike boulevard will make this area safer for our family both as pedestrians and potentially cyclists. Right now there is little chance that we will be biking with our child on these streets because it is not safe, despite me biking around this city myself for 15 years. It's simply not safe enough for me to want to risk it with my child, and the new bike boulevards are a step in the right direction.

Very hard for the community to make comments on this proposal without knowing what it really is. The city should be straightforward about what they are ( already) planning so we can properly address concerns. I’m concerned, as a long time resident ion Dean street, that bikes/ e-bikes have become the priority without taking into account the multi use functions of Dean/ Bergen. There’s lots of comments here that say these two streets should become bike only streets. That idea suggests a completely naive understanding of the practical everyday needs/ uses of these streets. These are residential neighborhoods, not just passthrus for bike commuters and e-bike deliveries

Bikes are wonderful. BIKERS are too often another story. Hence, bikers: obey the rules; ride safely for yourselves and pedestrians; stay off the sidewalk; stop at red lights; don’t cut corners at turns or in riding; don’t speed; and defer to pedestrians, older people, parents with strollers. Bikers: ride safely!

Pedestrians are at risk always at Bergen and Fifth and along the sidewalks and cross walks near and flowing from that intersection and others. Walkers’ head turning, in all directions, while a good exercise, is too often required. Also some bicyclists do not stay off the sidewalks and approach pedestrians from behind, some cyclists at speeds that if any pedestrian moves left or right, could be disastrous. Enforce the rules: No cyclists on sidewalks. Stop at lights, Defer to pedestrians in crosswalks.

Red light running, crosswalk and corner cutting is nearly all by bicyclists. Enforcement is non-existent. Enforcement via random, mobil, surprise enforcement teams should be established and ongoing. At Brgen and Fifth, I have never see any, enforcement, even on busy weekends, peak travel times of the day, or Barclays Center event dates. That should change. Then, over time, bicylclists' behavior will change.

This block should not be a truck route. It is already a bus route, now for 2 buses, and an emergency vehicle route. Bergen, a narrow street, should not also be a truck route.

It's difficult to comment without knowing details of the proposal. Very important to share the details and ask for comments before plan is finalized. I am in favor of biking that is safe and respectful of others. Residents of the block need to have access to their homes with cars (their own or taxis and ride shares,)

The 65 Bus is needed here for travel. Removal of bus discriminates against elderly and disabled who cannot go up and down subway steps. Putting it on Atlantic cause more traffic problems and is not fair to people who live gere.

Huge problem with bikers running red lights and making turns in front of cars who have the green light. Bikers need to be held accountable and follow traffic laws. They should be required to have license plates so that they can be held accountable and decrease hit and runs of pedestrians by cyclists.

I believe the proposal for the Bergen Dean Bike Boulevard will have a negative impact on this community. Congesting already busy streets by removing a lane of parking and narrowing driving space will make deliveries impossible. Where will trucks park for deliveries? In the middle of the street? Then all traffic behind them is stuck til delivery is complete. How will emergency vehicles pass when cars and delivery trucks are all jammed up polluting our air from idling. Studies are already showing higher rates of asthma in areas where streetpac and low density streets proposals have been implemented.
