East 13th street should have a protected one-way bike lane to provide a north-south connection on a relatively quieter street to connect Kings Highway in the South to the LIRR cut in the north, where the bike lane already exists north of the cut on Argyle Road.
Avenue K should have a 2-way protected bike lane to provide a crosstown route through Midwood/Flatbush and connect multiple bus lines as well as the F and B/Q train lines. There are already some bike racks installed on Ave K so this would make it safer for local cyclists, many of whom are children commuting to school who are forced to ride on sidewalks and dangerous busy roads.
Avenue J should have a protected 2-way bike lane to provide crosstown connection between various bus lines, the F and B/Q train lines, and the communities of Bensonurst/Midwood/Flatbush.
A pedestrian/bike bridge should connect these two dead ends. This will make this street more accessible to the community.
Exiting Prospect Park at the Lincoln Road entrance, heading East to connect to the Maple St. bike lane, requires biking south for one block on Flatbush Ave. and attempting to make a left turn onto Maple St. This is not safe. Thus, I generally cross Flatbush Ave. and connect to Maple St. using sidewalks. Given that the Maple St. bike lane is essentially the only bike route heading East from Prospect Park (south of Eastern Parkway), there should be a reasonably safe connection to this bike route from the park that does not require using the sidewalk.
This should be a protected bike lane connecting to the park entrance.
This should be a two-way protected bike lane from (East) Clarkson Ave via Woodruff to Ocean Ave up to the Prospect Park entrance (and Parkside protected bike lane entrance). It makes sense - it avoids the heavy traffic/busses on Parkside ave (between Ocean and Flatbush, so minimizes disruption) and runs down smaller local roads that are wide enough and could easily fit a protected bike lane (behind parking car rows) that connects the Prospect Park Loop to the Eastern neighborhood.
Add a bike lane that runs along Flatbush Ave from Clarendon/Dorchester up to Empire Blvd and leading into the entrance to Prospect Park and the Botanical Garden. Residents of these neighborhoods, who have little access to green and open spaces right by them, should have easier bike access to these large green areas.
Ocean Ave needs a protected bike lane since the painted lanes are always filled with double parked cars. Ocean Ave and Church Ave is especially dangerous for pedestrians and bikes to cross.
Trying to bicycle from Lincoln up to the protected lane on Flatbush feels incredibly dangerous. With no dedicated bicycle infrastructure, needing to cross multiple lanes of traffic, multiple wide lanes of speeding cars, and huge intersections, this needs a serious and immediate redesign.
