It is extremely difficult to travel east/west in by bike in midwood. making a two-way bike path along campus road and avenue H would greatly alleviate this issu.e
Please please please make the bike lanes on Bedford Avenue protected to the south and into Flatbush, i.e. between Flushing Avenue and Campus Road by Brooklyn College. It is very dangerous to bike in Flatbush because a) there are always 1-3 parked cars blocking the bike lane on ever single street and b) you can get hit by a driver’s car door as they exit their parked car. But bike infrastructure would be huge improvement here because there are very few options for public transportation. Painting the bike lanes green and moving them to the other side of the parked cars on Bedford Avenue would be such an amazing improvement and safer for everybody! I’m a mother who does not drive and protected bike lanes would allow me to bike from Flatbush to take my daughter to classes up in Bed Stuy, PLUS it would be great for Brooklyn college students who are commuting to and from the college from further north!
Caton Fields should have a south side bike lane, and bike lanes running north south on either side. Connect the north south bike lanes with east west bike lanes to improve access to the park, which is the safest place for bikes in Brooklyn and reduces bike/car conflict. All bike lanes should be protected, with cars on the outside and bikes on the inside, closer to the curb, especially on busy commercial stretches of Bedford.

I have been injured by a passenger getting out of an uber in a bike lane on Bedford between Parkside and Clarkson. The Ocean Ave / Parkside entrance to Prospect park, especially for bike entering the park heading North up Ocean Ave is a nightmare and incredibly dangerous. It's an accident waiting to happen. That whole intersection needs to to be completely redesigned to improve access to the park for pedestrians, cyclists, families with strollers and kids.

Desperately need a way to connect the protected bike lane on Flatbush to Bedford Ave. Lefferts and Maple both have bike lanes going east but do not actually fully connect, leaving a 2-3 block stretch of incredibly dangerous multi-lane speeding traffic to cross.
Biking south on Bedford feels unsafe in the way it overlaps with the bus lane. Bikes and buses are constantly crossing each other. Put both the north and south bound bike lanes on the northbound side, between parked cars and sidewalk, like the one on Prospect Park West. This would be much safer for cyclists, much less annoying for buses and bus passengers, would keep cars from parking in the bike lane, and would take up the same amount of space on the road- leaving the same amount of parking and traffic lanes as exist now. Win win win.
Must connect Parkside entrance/exit of Prospect Park to Bedford Ave in both directions. Huge safety issue, and there are no options nearby.
We desperately need a way to connect Bedford Ave and Prospect Park entrance/exit at Ocean Ave and Parkside. Parkside would be the obvious choice, but with the multi-lanes and buses, Caton may be easier. All you would need to do on Caton is take out parking on one side of the street to insert a two-way protected bike lane. I emphasize protected here because Caton is also a giant truck route (which seems ridiculous- can we do something about that?)
There is no safe bike route leaving prospect park on parkside. Something needs to connext to Bedford. Caton is a big street. I feel unsafe everyday attempting to get to the park on Caton.
