Protected upland connectors are needed from Shore Road to at least 3rd or 4th Ave
Bay Ridge Parkway is wide enough for a bike lane and is the most direct route to the shopping districts on 13th and 18th Avenues
If the 4th Ave safety plan from 2013 was enacted, there would be room for a protected north-south bike corridor here from 86th St to Sunset Park, AND it would bring pedestrian safety improvements that never should have been cancelled to begin with.
Getting across the highway at these overpasses is challenging - high-speed thru-traffic and turns onto the highway. Protected bike path would be helpful here.
A bike lane on 14th Ave would provide a useful connection from Fort Hamilton to Ocean Parkway
The bike path by the waterfront needs better bike access. Except for the endpoints and under the Verrazzano Bridge you have to dismount and carry your bike down stairs. Not ideal.
86th St needs more bike parking
Bike parking for school and playground
The disruption in the street grid presents a challenge for novice cyclists. Drivers typically attempt to bully them out of the way.
Cyclists making a full stop here have to contend with drivers exiting the Belt Parkway at highway speeds. This can be tricky for novice cyclists exiting the park or heading to the future protected bike lane on Wakeman Place. The exit ramp to Colonial Road and Wakeman Place is redundant and really should be closed.
