Dean St - Smith St - Hoyt St

The bike lane is on the left, and turning right on to smith requires merging with traffic. Some sort of treatment here to protect cyclists to make the right turn on to smith easier would be great

Dean St - Nevins St - 3 Ave - Brooklyn

As a cyclist and car user I love a protected bike lane, but on our section of Dean Street, across from PS 38, there is already limited parking for residents. so...how will the school drop off traffic be managed if there is only one lane for cars and no ability to double park while allowing traffic to pass. And if there are delivery only areas proposed (like on Court Street) can we keep these to a minimum to not lose residents parking spaces.

I'm a big fan of bike lanes but would really like to keep the b65 bus route where it is! it would be great if the street was just for bikes and buses

Bergen St - Nostrand Ave - New York Ave

It is very difficult to park in this area most of the time. If half the parking spots disappear, then it will be actually impossible to park a car. This area is too high density, and the b65 comes too infrequently, to remove parking spots. If the b65 came every five minutes and had a Limited option to connect with the Atlantic Terminal faster then this would be less of a concern. But since the bus is so unreliable, it’s a fool’s errand to count on it for commuting. That’s why so many of us drive. I’d RATHER take the bus, But we can’t count on it. Please do not remove the parking spots.

Jay St - Willoughby St - Fulton St

I'm primarily a bike commuter and have been for a very long time. I wholly support the Dean and Bergen bike blvd projet -- but want to point out that these are already relatively stronger links in the bike network in the area. One major issue is the lack of North-South connections that aren't super stressful. I often take Bergen/Dean to and from the Brooklyn or Manhattan bridges, and the stretch as soon as I turn onto Smith/Jay becomes enormously stressful: gridlock car traffic even on small Smith street; cars veering into oncoming traffic lanes on jay; bike lanes constantly blocked; the space for peds/buses/cars/bikes becoming all jumbled up in the noise and chaos. I know this is a bigger lift, but there should be some car-lite, local-traffic only treatments through downtown brooklyn itself. The network as a whole is very important and currently the North/South connections are the weakest link!

Place bollards on this corner, so dangerous with speeding cars and so easy to imagine a car or truck jumping the curb and causing a tragedy.

Bergen St - Rogers Ave - Nostrand Ave

Crossing bedford and rogers always feels dangerous with the volume and speed of cars. There's not enough time to get across both streets with the current light timing. Standing on the triangle feels very exposed. Cars are way too fast traveling up Rogers. Would like to see bollards to make the triangle feel less exposed.

Please time the traffic lights for cyclists (green wave).

Difficult Turn/Crossing
Difficult Turn/Crossing
Bergen St - Bond St - Nevins St

It's often difficult to turn from Bergen Street onto Bond Street as a cyclist (because the bike lane is on the left side of Bergen, so you have to cut across the car traffic to make a right turn - and there isn't anywhere to stop and wait if it's unsafe to cut across, so you end up blocking the cyclists behind you, creating a dangerous situation for everyone).
