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

DO NOOOOOOT WANT A BIKE LANE HERE THE KIDS ARE DISMISSED FROM SCHOOL AT THAT CORNER AND THEY WILL GET HIT BY BIKES !!!

I 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.

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.

DOT needs to put the needs of the legacy community first. The majority of Crown Heights residents do not want the Bergen bus bike lane that this survey is biased toward. It creates severe problems for accessibility for our elderly community and favors bikers commuting through our neighborhoods who don’t actually live on our blocks, but in wealthier neighborhoods. This survey also creates no accountability for bikers who violate traffic laws. Accidents caused by bikes are not accounted for. We are not against bikes, but we already have a bike lane. DOT needs to actually come to our community and hear the needs of our people. A survey placed below the waist and targeted towards bikers is not outreach.

Double-parking, Flatbush Avenue 'dollar' vans, and other activities lead to significant bus delays in the stretch of Flatbush Avenue between Lincoln Place and Parkside Avenue. The street is quite constrained here, with just a few lanes in total. Car parking should be removed in favor of drop-off zones and other temporary uses. Please consider making this stretch a dedicated busway. The busy nature of the sidewalk area also makes it difficult to visually identify bus stops along this stretch of Flatbush. They should receive a treatment that makes them easier to identify and use, even if that results in fewer bus stations overall.
