Dean St - New York Ave - Brooklyn Ave

I am very concerned that this project will mean relocating the B65 bus. I am disabled and take this bus regularly. This is the only east-west bus in Crown Heights near where I live. I am on crutches and am not able to ride a bike so I will not be able to take advantage of this proposed project. Although I am in support of bike paths in general, removing the bus line from Bergen and Dean streets will make it difficult for disabled people to get around, especially since almost none of the nearby train stations are accessible.

Bergen and Dean are both already safe and already both have bike lanes! To make them into bike boulevards the bus will have to be moved. 68,000 senior and disabled rides were swiped on that line last year. CB8 voted NOT to move this bus line. But who cares right? What are those people going to do? They can't take the train, no elevators on the Atlantic stops and they can't ride a Citibike, can't afford Lyft and Uber, the corporations lobbying our electeds to do this. Guess they'll just have to move right? Shame on you all for ignoring the generational community who built this neighborhood to satisfy your lobbyists and gentrifiers.

I’m excited about any protected bike lanes and hope we copy Amsterdam in terms of elevated bike lane design. Thank you for protecting cyclists and pedestrians from awful drivers.

We need safe streets and sidewalks for pedestrians, as well as public transportation and safe access to boarding vehicles. Providing safe streets for bicycles without concern for pedestrians is extremely negligent. The current DOT representatives clearly lack NYC experience.

Bergen St - Bedford Ave - Franklin Ave - Brooklyn

It often feels like Bergen and Dean don’t have a bike lane because of how many cars are double parked. A bike boulevard should have parking protected lanes (that also deter people from parking in the protected bike lane) - ideally it should be primarily bikes and buses going down dean and Bergen. As someone that takes this route every single day. I’m excited for changes.

Poor Visibility

Bergen St - 3 Ave - 4 Ave

Visibility along this stretch is a concern for cyclists, especially during bright sunlight, since there is currently no tree canopy. The area was previously a parking lot, but it is now fully residential. Adding street trees would improve shade, reduce glare, and enhance safety and overall comfort for everyone using the street.

Bergen St - 3 Ave - 4 Ave

The intersections along 4th Avenue have become increasingly hazardous for bikers due to overflowing trash, illegal dumping, and persistent littering. I frequently encounter debris in the middle of the street while biking, which forces me to swerve to avoid it and creates unnecessary safety risks for cyclists alike.

Dean St - 6 Ave - Carlton Ave

The bike lane on Dean from Flatbush to Vanderbilt frequently has cars illegally double parked in the bike lane. Combined with aggressive drivers, this is really dangerous! Thank you for doing this project.

southbound on 4th ave between Flatbush and Bergen we lose the protected lane. I hope as part of this project, you consider adding protection to the southbound lane on 4th ave to better connect to Bergen and Dean
