This block desperately needs a protected bike lane, but any protected bike lane will also have to be blocked from the sidewalk to prevent Barclays attendees overflowing into the bike lane, as they currently do into the street and current bike lane. I can see this being a major danger to cyclists, with nowhere to swerve to avoid pedestrians if the bike lane is protected on the road-side.

I would love to see a protected bike lane on Nostrand to pair with the Bedford protected bike lane. It's very hard to find safe streets to bike south in this area.

I love that Underhill is so friendly and safe for cyclists! I often go out of my way to bike on Underhill instead of alternate, more dangerous streets. I would be so happy if Dean and Bergen (and all other streets that I bike on!) were structured like Underhill.

The stretch of Dean between Flatbush and Vanderbilt has had so much construction on it that it is basically unusable by cyclists. It is basically 100% potholes, patches, and rough areas and is incredibly challenging and unsafe to bike on.

Given that NYC is literally the only large city in North America without residential permit parking, perhaps this is a good opportunity to try a pilot program on Dean and Bergen near Barclay's. This would greatly reduce both the number of vehicles on event days by encouraging people to bike or take public transit, and the circling trolling for parking spots at all times of the day and night. The nominal fees raised should go to improve the public realm, as suggested by the parking authority/expert Donald Shoup who literally wrote the book on this. With parking only for residents, we may be able to get neighborhood consensus to free up a full lane now used for parking on Bergen and Dean to repurpose for truly separated safe biking (even for young kids) and planting. It's time to move beyond New York Exceptionalism to New York Awesomeness!

Taxis and service vehicles regularly park in the bike lanes in front of hotels, this is a universal issue.

Hotels along bike lanes are a real issue. People frequently cross midblock without looking to get to the hotel entrance, often leaving from a taxi.

The light timing at this intersection is confusing, especially for pedestrians. I ride my bike each way via this bike path daily, and every day I have to be extremely cautious to avoid running into pedestrians at this intersection. Because traffic flows in one direction, pedestrians are always looking in the direction of traffic and frequently do not look for cyclists riding in the direction opposite traffic. Because the bike green light is timed differently to the traffic light, that means cars are often stopped at the red light, making pedestrians think they should cross, while cyclists have a green. Due to blind spots created by illegaly parked vehicles (OFTEN police vehicles), I frequently have to stop abruptly, even when I have a green light, to avoid hitting pedestrians. This is an accident waiting to happen due to a confluence of factors.

There are always cars parked in the bike lane here. Service/freight vehicles and police vehicles most commonly. It creates a very unsafe condition at the intersection. The lane becomes very narrow, the blindspots created prevent cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians from seeing one another easily.
