Implement daylighting / extended curbs to improve the overall safety of the area
There’s a literal block of cement placed across the pedestrian crossing here making it impossible for people with limited mobility to navigate this intersection safely
Why do these bus stops have zero trees nearby to protect users from the heat or rain while they wait for the bus?
Look at the map image: can the DOT argue we don’t need daylighting measures here to improve the pedestrian visibility and the overall safety of the bus lane?
Big SUVs and big vans frequently park right next to the pedestrian crossing, blocking visibility both for drivers and pedestrians. Why haven’t we already implemented street safety measures in this area when other calmer streets with way less traffic have then? We have a literal thoroughfare cutting across this neighborhood with zero pedestrian safety measures to improve visibility and make crossing the street safer.
Zero measures to protect pedestrian safety in this area despite having a difficult combination of bus lanes, high speed regular traffic, frequent turns and several schools nearby. Implementing daylighting measures, extended curbs and traffic calming initiatives should be a priority.
This stretch combining the Bedford and Roger’s Avenue traffic is a bottleneck and slows down buses. Cars frequently drive on (and even park!) on the bus lane since there is no automated enforcement from the DOT. Painting lanes when you don’t enforce their meaning does very little
The B49 frequently gets stuck in traffic here in Bedford Avenue due to the lack of bus lane. Does it make sense to keep it here when we already have dedicated bus lanes in Roger’s, Nostrand and New York Avenues?
It’s fine to connect the protected bike lane in Bedford Avenue with Eastern Parkway for better north/south connectivity
The Grant Gore plaza could be significantly improved by extending the area by removing the few parking spots that are next to the Citybike dock. Including an extended hardened curb with additional planters would make this area way safer for pedestrians
