This intersection has heavy traffic from cars, commercial vehicles, and transit buses. Many double parked cars also cause traffic.

The stretch of Ocean Ave between Parkside and Ave H is very dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Drivers constantly double park in ways that are illegal and hazardous, blocking bike lanes and travel lanes for cars. There needs to be better enforcement of double parking and safer biker lanes that are protected by parking lanes or grade separated.

Overdimensional trucks parked here. NYPD consistently closes service requests without taking action.

Sidewalk is hard navigate because it is full of unlicensed vendors selling junk.

+1 to the other comment about large pools of water here causing pedestrians to walk into traffic, which is both dangerous to the pedestrians and causes traffic slowing as well.

This is a very high conflict zone for cyclists, the light timing doesn't work well for riders and the bike lane just kind of ends, if going east

Subject: Official Scope Extension Request: Central Brooklyn Fast Buses Corridor (Church Ave)Dear Council Member Hanif and District Managers of CB12 and CB14,I am writing to submit an official constituent request regarding the NYC DOT / MTA "Next Stop: Fast Buses" plan for the Central Brooklyn corridor.The current proposed scope for the Church Avenue transit improvements terminates at Ocean Avenue (stretching to Kings Highway). I am formally requesting that your offices advocate to extend this project scope westward to McDonald Avenue.Justification for Extension:Severe Congestion: The stretch of Church Avenue between Ocean Avenue and McDonald Avenue is heavily congested, severely delaying the B35 bus. Leaving this segment out undermines the effectiveness of the entire corridor upgrade.Subway Connectivity: Extending the BRT infrastructure to McDonald Avenue directly links the new bus corridor to the Church Ave F/G Subway Station, creating a seamless, high-speed transfer hub for thousands of daily commuters.Please log this as an official public comment for the upcoming Transportation Committee agendas, and urge the NYC DOT to adjust the project boundaries during this initial planning phase.Thank you for your time and advocacy for Kensington and Flatbush transit riders.

The current plan for the Kensington-JFK bus corridor stops at Ocean Avenue, but the BRT on Church Avenue needs to be extended west to McDonald Avenue. The B35 crawls through this segment and the B55 SBS will use this segment as well, and a direct, fast connection to the F and G trains at Church Avenue / McDonald Avenue is critical to fixing the corridor congestion. So I am strongly urging DOT to have the proposed Church Avenue BRT to extend west to Church Avenue / McDonald Avenue, as that section is very congested with double-parked vehicles (double-parked trucks and cars) and because the buses on this street currently travel at very slow speeds, the extension here is necessary and I am calling on DOT to take action. Thank you.

At the northwest corner of this intersection, on Dorchester, there are always cars parked overnight blocking at least half of the crosswalk, including the ramp / curb cut. This routinely requires me to push my child's stroller out side the crosswalk and potentially into the path of oncoming traffic on 19th street. This also regularly occurs at other intersections throughout the neighborhood. We need NYPD or DOT to take responsibility for ticketing these cars every night until this kind of parking stops.
