There is so much speeding and near misses between pedestrians in cross walks and cars speeding through lights. I've experienced and seen so many near misses. Begging DOT to incorporate traffic calming measures, especially here around the elementary school.
The bike path along Van Brunt feels so dangerous with it also being a truck route.
HEY NY DOT - DO SOMETHING! YOU DON"T HAVE TO WAIT 4 YEARS TO MAKE PEOPLE SAFER. HIRE SOME PEOPLE WITH TRANSPORTATION BACKGROUNDS. STOP PAYING $250K TO PEOPLE WITH NO EXPERIENCE! TRY TO CROSS VAN BRUNDT BETWEEN HAMILTON AND DEGRAW. PLEASE TRY IT. THERE ARE NOT EVEN CROSSWALKS YOU FOOLS. DO SOMETHING. AT LEAST LOOK LIKE YOU ARE MAKING AN EFFORT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE YOU JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN., HAPPY KARMA!
This area of Van Brunt Street does not have any street lights or stop signs and is a frequent location for speeding trucks and buses, especially at off hours.

This is the most utilized route for pedestrian/bicyclists, yet it is extremely dangerous. This route is the main way to get to the F/G Smith 9th St stop, so it must be updated for safety reasons. The crosswalk on the west side of Hamilton Avenue has many blind spots for pedestrians due to the columns under the BQE. Under the BQE, there is always construction and broken guardrails, which makes it dangerous for pedestrians waiting under the BQE to cross Hamilton Avenue in either direction. There needs to be more pedestrian/ bicyclist bridges over the BQE to make it safer (like the one from Nelson St that crosses over to Henry St)
Traffic turning onto W 9th street from Hamilton Ave higher than speed limit. The street is curved with side street parking so there are a lot of blind spots for drivers turning onto the road as well.
Please improve pedestrian safety at this intersection! There are a lot of desperate drivers here trying to get onto Hamilton, the BQE, etc., so crossing is always incredibly dangerous. Bike lanes on Court St would be a very improvement too – there is currently no good southbound bike infrastructure into Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens.
The signage at this intersection needs updated. Drivers are unclear on who has the right of way when turning right from Hamilton to van brunt or right onto van brunt from Summit. AdditionallyTesla double parks many cars making visibility and navigation through the intersection problematic.
