Buses constantly get stuck in traffic on Lincoln Rd. It makes it take twice as long for me to get home from Prospect Park and feels intolerable while riding the bus with a tired infant.
NYC DOT is studying improvements for three major transit corridors:

While it's good to have good public transportation and good biking options, there is still an essential need for personal cars for families, large loads, and for traveling to/from out of system areas. You cannot make improvements to one and sacrifice the other too extremely. The citi bikes taking up parking spaces was a very selfish thing to do, and I am against making parking and driving even worse in this area.
I don't think the B41 has ever come on time at this stop. I've waited 20+ minutes sometimes for buses when the app says they should be there and nothing. I definitely support a center bus lane here if it'll speed up the B41
This bend can be extremely dangerous for cyclists. Cars are constantly doubled parked, cars are speeding down, and then you have the buses as well. It leaves no space for cyclists, and I've been hit on this stretch of Flatbush Ave a couple times. Any bus lane project here needs to address the rampant double parking and lack of bike lanes.
I do NOT want center running bus lanes, bike lanes, parking removed, only one lane of traffic - all the above will make it extremely difficult. I have driven here and it gets extremely congested. If you add bus lanes or add bike lanes, it would make life very difficult
Bike lanes are extremely unsafe. While riding bikes are great and a great way to get around removing parking and adding the bike lanes are not safe. Less parking spots means more double parked cars waiting for spots, means more hydrants blocked, means more frustrated drivers with less space to move around. all this creates more unsafe conditions for pedestrians. Emergency vehicles cannot get thru. ambulances busy backing up thru an entire block because they cannot get thru. While others believe that the entire world should get rid of cars and only ride bikes, they are small minded ppl who obviously dont care about others.
strongly oppose the proposed bike lanes because they could seriously harm local businesses and create dangerous delays for emergency vehicles. Many neighborhood businesses depend on vehicle traffic for customers, deliveries, pickups, service calls, and loading. Removing travel lanes and parking spaces can increase congestion, discourage customers from stopping locally, make deliveries more difficult, and place further financial pressure on businesses already struggling with rising costs. Parkside Avenue near Prospect Park is a clear example of this concern. Since the bike lane was installed, this vital corridor has effectively been narrowed to one vehicle lane in certain areas. When traffic backs up, drivers have very little room to move aside, leaving ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles struggling to get through. In a life-or-death emergency, even a delay of a few minutes can have devastating consequences. Cyclist safety is important, but it should not come at the expense of emergency access, neighborhood businesses, and the transportation needs of the broader community. Before moving forward with additional bike lanes, the city should carefully study their actual effect on traffic, emergency-response times, deliveries, parking, and local commerce. I respectfully urge the city to reconsider the current proposal and work with residents, business owners, and emergency responders on a safer, more balanced plan that protects cyclists without creating dangerous congestion or weakening the economic health of our neighborhoods.
DO NOOOOOOT WANT A BIKE LANE HERE THE KIDS ARE DISMISSED FROM SCHOOL AT THAT CORNER AND THEY WILL GET HIT BY BIKES !!!

The traffic is already full and difficult to drive around. Adding bus lanes and more bikes lanes will clog up the roads even more and make it difficult for everyone. There are families who rely on cars to get around as public transit often costs more and is a much more difficult route to access many places. Pedestrians will feel unsafe as well with bikes coming out of nowhere and less visibility to clearly see the roads.
