Caton Ave - St Pauls Pl - Ocean Ave

The B16 moves incredibly slowly through this section (and the section to the west, at least as far as Coney Island Ave). When improving the infrastructure on Church Ave, please consider allowing for the B16 run on Church Ave until it turns north, so it can benefit from the improvements as well.

Albemarle Rd - Deadend - East 17 St

A bike and pedestrian bridge across the subway tracks here could help make Albemarle Rd a safe east/west route for cyclists, which is badly needed in the area. Caton Ave, Church Ave, and Beverley Rd are all narrow streets with lots of traffic, but Albemarle Rd is a quiet residential street that could be made safe for cycling with few other changes.

Church Ave - East 17 St - East 18 St

My dream for this section of Church Ave around the BQ station is to convert it to a busway with expanded sidewalks, like Fulton Mall downtown. The B35 carries so many people, and it usually moves slower than walking through this area, when it's not fully stopped due to double-parked cars. Wider sidewalks are also necessary, given the current level of crowding.

East 17 St - Foster Ave - Brooklyn

There's no way to bike safely from anywhere around Church down to anywhere around the Flatbush YMCA or the Shirley Chisholm Center, stranding people in the northern part of the neighborhood who's like to be able to use the services there. I had to change my child's entire childcare location after realizing I couldn't bike him there safely using any of the routes I tried. Even if you make it down to around Foster safely, you can't go left on any street without it being a scary experience, especially during rush hour. Safe bike routes need to extend further south and be intentionally linked eastward into Flatbush. Also, at the T-junction of Parkside Ave and Parade Place, cars heading westbound need a turn lane onto Parade. It's possible to do this with the extra space that's been carved out on the northern side of the intersection (not the bike lane, the other part). Cars get backed up behind a turning car for a whole light sometimes, creating road rage and leading to constant running reds through a crosswalk usually full of families with kids going to the park. Please fix this - it's terrifying how often it happens. I'm a pedestrian and cyclist but I'm advocating for the drivers here because I understand their frustration and someone will get killed this way.

Franklin Ave - President St - Carroll St

Missing bike lane (ends for no reason at Eastern Parkway)

Flatbush Ave - Maple St - Beekman Pl

This is the most dangerous pedestrian crossing that I know of in the entire city. One traffic light governs auto traffic across two intersections and three crosswalks. Cars traveling north on Flatbush have a light at Beekman. When the light turns yellow, cars continue through (plus a little more after it has turned red), and then the pedestrian lights turn green. But the timing of these pedestrian lights is the same as a crosswalk 100 feet north of Beekman at Maple. But there is no traffic light at Maple for northbound traffic--only southbound has a light there. So cars make it through a yellow light, only to head straight toward pedestrians in the middle of Flatbush at Maple, who are always very confused as to why there are cars traveling at them at full speed. It's bizarre that anyone in the City ever thought this traffic pattern was satisfactory.

Lincoln Rd - Flatbush Ave - Flatbush Ave

This is a tricky traffic pattern. Pedestrians have the light to cross north-south across Lincoln between the two islands. WHILE THEY HAVE THE LIGHT, the auto traffic on the west side of Flatbush has a green light to travel east. The only thing stopping them from hitting pedestrians who are crossing with the light is a Wrong Way/Do Not Enter sign, but because of it's placement, drivers think it's referring to Lincoln east of Washington (where Lincoln becomes one way). So drivers are always driving into this intersection to turn left on Washington, while people are trying to cross in front of them. Very dangerous.

Washington Ave - Lefferts Ave - Flatbush Ave

This could be a great public space in an otherwise traffic-heavy intersection. Right now, it's all illegally parked cars.

Washington Ave - Lefferts Ave - Flatbush Ave

The most poorly used plot of land in the neighborhood. I don't know who owns this land, but it's a pedestrian area and is always full of tightly parked cars.

Ocean Ave - Albemarle Rd - Regent Pl

The entire length of the Ocean Ave bike lane is regularly blocked. It's a really tricky street to bike on. I'd really like to see a protected bike lane here.
