This is a general comment that we've lived in this area for years and really love the idea of more bike boulevards for our family. My husband bikes to work every day.

Please look carefully at the results of the 2025 Court St protected bike line as you consider this project. I bike and walk on Court St every day and have very mixed feelings about the changes. Cars at non-signal intersections turn semi-blindly across bike lanes. Pedestrians pay less attention once they've crossed the vehicle lane and then walk into the bike lane without looking. I often feel less safe on my bike than I did riding on the old unprotected bike lane. The vehicular traffic backup on Court St and the narrow streets that feed into Court St is often terrible to the point of gridlock and I regularly see ambulances and fire trucks unable to move for multiple traffic light cycles. As you add bike boulevards to the network I worry there could be a tipping point where at certain times of day gridlock could expand and whole areas become virtually impassible for the angry honking vehicles. I am in favor of promoting safety of us pedestrians and bikers but please be thoughtful about how best to do this, over time, while allowing for the reality that vehicular movement is necessary for many daily needs and for emergencies.

This area absolutely needs a protected bike lane and it should run all the way from Bedford to the river. I use this almost daily and currently it is filled with double Park cars and is incredibly dangerous. This should be one of the safest and most convenient bike thoroughfares in Brooklyn if it’s done correctly.

As a home owner on this block and the also an independent contractor with a vehicle. I want to know if we’ll still be able to at least park in front of our homes. Loading equipment would be impossible if I can’t pull up to my gate, so I’m hoping that this won’t become an inconvenience for myself and the rest of my neighbors.

This is a super dangerous corner. Cars turn left from Rogers but immediately hit a red light and then folks back up behind them. Everyone is angry, honking , and speeding towards Atlantic Avenue. We have lived on an adjacent block and have seen 4 separate crashes in this tiny block in the past couple of years. Timing of lights should be re-examined to slow traffic all along this stretch.

This intersection is a nightmare for pedestrians. Cars come FAST down Dean Street and make the left turn into a giant intersection that takes a long time for pedestrians to cross. Even though there is daylighting at the corner it is frequently blocked by cars pulled over since there is no physical barrier. Would love to see one of those boulders actually blocking the parking spot to prevent this behavior and anything else that can be done (LPI?) to make crossing the street safer.

How will buses, which have routes on Dean St. and Bergen St. be affected by this project? Rerouting on Dean St., due to major construction on Dean St. is currently taking place. The Dean St. closure is due to major project, over two years now.

Longtime resident of Carlton Ave. between Bergen and Dean St.. While some will feel this project is beneficial, I have concerns. This neighborhood has alternate side parking four days a week This creates unnecessary burdens for those of us with cars. The City's commitment to reduce cars has been to reduce parking spaces and stagger lights unnecessarily, resulting in inordinate traffic congestion on Bergen St. and 6th Ave. Carlton Ave itself is where much of the traffic winds up. It comes in from Vanderbilt Ave., where a major construction project is taking place. Vanderbilt is also closed to traffic from Friday to Sunday evening. This results in a residential street becoming a preferred and sometimes only route to reach Atlantic Ave. Traffic also enters Carlton Ave. from Flatbush Ave as well, in addition to St. Marks, Prospect and Bergen itself. This results in daily traffic, with cars honking and idling. There are too many days that one can no longer open their windows, due to noise and fumes . Dean St. and Carlton Ave is closed for construction from morning to at least 5pm. This has been going on for over two years. Cement trucks and heavy equipment routinely creates more traffic issues and adjacent streets are routinely closed. The quality of life here has steadily decreased as a result. Add Barclays to the mix and also way too many bike riders, who ignore lights and one way street signs and this becomes barely sustainable. All this without even taking this new proposal into account.. Should this project be considered to move forward, current parking and traffic issues must be addressed. Alternate side parking should be reduced. Residents should also be provided parking permits for Carlton Ave., as well as Bergen and Dean St. These formerly quiet, residential streets can no longer continue to be sacrificed for the comfort of non residents. This is not a NIMBY rant. Progress need not sacrifice an already burdened neighborhood.
