This corner is a hotbed of illegal parking — cars waiting do not fully pull to the curb on Dean, blocking the bike lane in an already narrow section of the roadway. Cars on 4th are almost always parked in the bus stop NSA, preventing busses from pulling to the curb. The excess width of 4th in this segment contributes to the problem, because the bike lane disappears through the double-length bus stop. Please consider adding a floating boarding island and fully protected interface between the 4th avenue bike lane and the dean st bike lane here.

Making a left turn from Washington onto Bergen is extremely difficult for bicycles, because traffic volumes often make it difficult to merge and then turn across the opposite direction of traffic. There's also limited waiting space to the right, and the bike box here is almost always partially blocked by double-parked vehicles using the shops on the corner.

This segment of Underhill was left as a 2-way street to provide access to the parking garage on the east side of the street. Vehicles traveling southbound on Underhill frequently accelerate around cyclists to try and pass in this single-block, and then continue at an unsafe speed into the block bounded by the playground to the south. The garage has been demolished and is being replaced by a residential building with no curb cut or parking. This means the block could be redesigned to mirror other one-way conversions on the blocks immediately north and south, preferably running the opposite direction (northbound) to cut down on speeding.

6th Avenue was incorrectly painted after construction finished and has never been fixed. The segment from Pacific to Dean has two different center stripes, 3' apart. The east side of the street has a parking lane that is only 4' wide, and a bike lane that is therefore continuously blocked by parked vehicles. The parking lane is an NSA during school hours, but placarded NYPD, FDNY, and DOE vehicles park there 24/7. This hinders school pickup/dropoff, endangers children and cyclists, and decreases road safety by making drivers unsure of where the correct lane is.

This intersection is rampant with speeding and red-light running, particularly cars going west on Bergen. This would be an excellent candidate location for raised crossings, narrowed crossing, and other traffic calming measures, in addition to properly protected bike lanes on Bergen and Dean.

Staff (or maybe the owner?) of the warehouses on the north side of Bergen just west of the grassy lot blow through this red light going west multiple times per day. Worst offender is a blue minivan driver who barely even slows down for the light, and I've seen him almost hit a number of cyclists going north on Classon who have the green light. He blows through the stop sign just to park illegally in front of what seems to be a warehouse mid-block on the north side. We need a protected bike on Dean and Bergen, but it's also got to go hand in hand with enforcement of existing laws!

We need to do something about the NYPD illegal parking on the sidewalks around the police station.

I'm extremely in favor of a protected bicycle lane along Dean and Bergen Streets! Keeping cyclists protected and moving is my highest priority. Thank you!
