Can the DOT add protection for cyclists on Vanderbilt as part of this project? I frequently cycle from GAP to the greenway via Vanderbilt, and it's the most treacherous part of my trip from Park Slope to Williamsburg.

I would encourage fully closing the blocks between 4th Avenue and Court Street to non-essential vehicles - to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

Please prioritize cyclist safety by installing fully protected bike lanes and/or adding traffic diverters on Bergen and Dean Streets to limit non-local traffic. While the Underhill bike boulevard is an improvement, cyclists still face dangerous tailgating and aggressive passing when taking the lane. To ensure true safety, the Bergen and Dean bike boulevards must implement stronger protections than the current Underhill design.

This and the other crossings of Atlantic ave in this area are super dangerous. Cars are constantly waiting for red lights in the cross walk, speeding to catch lights, running red lights, turning at high speeds. We need to reduce crossing distances, add speed bumps at intersections, and speed deterrent infrastructure, bus lanes, bike lanes. Atlantic Ave cannot be the only car sewer left after we make the rest of this neighborhood livable for pedestrians, bus riders and cyclists.

Thousands of people, including me, walk and bike through Bergen and Dean every single day. It is a miserable experience for so many reasons that others have already described here. I believe there is a huge opportunity here to improve the whole community's quality of life. The following things are very important to these stretches of road: - large apartment buildings and business need active loading zones that are not blocked by illegal parking - cyclists and pedestrians need more space given the high density of the area, and they need more protected space to transit safely through this area - buses need to transit efficiently through this area. many people rely on these buses and they are constantly delayed by private vehicle traffic and rampant double parking - emergency vehicles need to be able to access this area. in my years living here i've seen ambulances stuck behind private vehicle traffic way too many times what's not important: - making it easy for people to drive their private vehicles in this area - giving away incredible valuable and high utility land for free for people to store their private vehicles The ideas that DOT has already presented for Vanderbilt Ave are exactly the types of things we should be considering here-- eliminate through traffic with bus/bike/pedestrian plazas and/or flipping the direction of the one-way on some blocks; massively reduce private car parking; implement active loading zones; put physical barriers between bike routes and cars; repair the road and sidewalk surfaces [we can do this one right now btw!].

The rampant illegal NYPD parking makes the streets less pleasant, safe, and usable for all. Please please please redesign the street such that they can no longer park on the sidewalk.

Bergen street is too narrow for your bike boulevard! I just saw what you did in front of 2108 Dorchester in Ditmas park and there’s no room for a fire truck. This boulevard is overlooking basis neighborhood needs for the sake of fulfilling campaign promises for a selection of the people (cyclists only). The “cycling network “ doesn’t have to all be boulevards; things are fine the way they are on Bergen

One of the most dangerous pedestrian crossings in the CH area. Cars coming from Bedford turn left towards pedestrians while they cross Atlantic due to the lack of leading pedestrian interval here. I've seen so many near accidents that I actively avoid this area. It's really unsafe
