I’m against bike lanes in this neighborhood. There aren’t many bikers and this is not what our community needs. Please listen to the people who actually live here.
The Ocean Ave lane is frequently blocked by delivery trucks and cars in the bike lanes, we really need it to be upgraded to a protected lane.
I would love to see this bike lane extended further south.
The bike lane on Bedford Avenue as it crosses Flatbush is extremely confusing and unsafe and should be fixed.
Caton Avenue is currently very unsafe to bike on and many cyclists, including delivery workers, bike on the sidewalk to avoid the cars and trucks. There should be a protected lane on Caton instead of parking.
Unlike Flatbush and Ocean Aves, St Pauls Pl is a much better option for a bike lane as it lacks the heavy traffic and constant blocked access due to cars blocking the bike lane. It would provide a vital connection between Caton and Parkside.
Flatbush Avenue (both within the area in question and in other portions of Brooklyn) is far too dangerous (for pedestrians and bicyclists) and car-centric. It needs bicycle lanes and fewer car lanes (and wider sidewalks as well). More Brooklyn residents get around by walking/transit/bike than by car, so it is not fair for the majority of street space to be used by car drivers. Thank you!
Flatbush Avenue south of Empire Boulevard is full of speeding cars and double parking, and would benefit a lot from a protected lane. I bike the route at least 2-3 days a week, sometimes 4-5, and on every single trip a driver does something (run a red light, swerve out of double parking without signaling, pass over double yellow line, etc) that could kill me or another biker. Speed and red light cameras at the lights on Flatbush would also be a huge quality of life and safety improvement - I've never seen a driver get a ticket for running a red light ever on that stretch of road, and I've seen it happen literally hundreds of times.
Cortelyou Rd is a major restaurant and shopping destination where many bicyclist trips go to! Currently, it's hard to bike there because of double parking and unsafe delivery unloading.
Ocean Avenue has painted bike lanes in both directions, but it is so extremely dangerous to ride down due to double parking in the bike lane. The wide median in the center of the street means car traffic is not entirely blocked by double parking, so cars (and bikes) are forced to swerve in and out of the lanes. There is absolutely room for protected bike lanes in both directions on this avenue. They could begin at Parkside, where there is currently a planned expansion on flatbush avenue, adjacent to the park.
