Unsafe Crossing

Unsafe Crossing

Atlantic Ave - Bedford Ave - Nostrand Ave

This intersection is incredibly unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. As a pedestrian, I'm afraid of crossing Atlantic Avenue due to the traffic coming from Bedford and turning towards Atlantic while I cross. They literally honk and drive towards you while you try to cross. It's a real shame the DOT hasn't done anything about improving the safety in this area.

Really poor pedestrian visibility here due to the cars parked next to the pedestrian crossing

Improve pedestrian visibility at the Grant Gore intersections. Visibility is really bad due to cars parked next to the pedestrians crossings in Bedford and Rogers. It's also very hard to see cyclists due to this and this creates dangerous situations

As a pedestrian, I am concerned about the streets being overrun by bikes while cars are still needed locally. From what I experience living in Prospect Heights over the last ten years, bikes follow there OWN rules while cars drive too fast. Increasing bike safety does not equal increasing pedestrian safety-particularly when it comes to delivery drivers.

"People are going to be parking illegally and double-parking if you replace one side of Bergen St of street parking into a bike lane. Absolutely not in favor of this. It will become a chaotic mess, unsafe with cars parking illegally to get to the neighborhood - to deliver packages, to do work on homes, etc." I could not agree with this more. The congestion on Bergen Street between Carlton Avenue and Flatbush Avenue is horrendous - buses, cars, bikes, electric scooters, police vehicles, double parking due to Bergen/Dean playround and the long-established summer basketball league. Where is all this traffic - vehicle - bikes and humans included - going to go if you close off one side of the street. Not to mention the proposed new HPD affordable and senior housing buildings planned for Bergen and Dean Streets. Seniors will need access to Access A Ride and delivery of services. Have you visited the sites? I'm all for bike lanes, but please do what is the plan for the buses, deliveries and police and fire vehicles? Stre

I think it's a horrendous idea to remove the public transportation from Dean and Bergen Street . The community has incorporated this vis life line to those who depend and can only afford this type of transportation. I believe this is assault on the generational family

Enough already!! We already have existing bike lanes. Frankly, the current bike lanes do not get enough use to turn both Dean and Bergen Sts into a bike boulevard. This is just a land grab at this point. It is not about safety...it is a war on private cars!!
