Beverly road in CB17 is definitely wide enough to accommodate two directions of bike lanes. It could connect to the existing bike lanes on Beverley in CB14.
Park access to the residents of CB17 should be a top priority, since we have so few of them. Bike lanes on interrupted stretches of residential side streets should be explored for this purpose.
Park access to the residents of CB17 should be a top priority, since we have so few of them. Bike lanes on interrupted stretches of residential side streets should be explored for this purpose. Paedergat park is very popular with people of all ages and it should be as easy as possible to access.
CB17's city grid has some challenging features that interrupt many of its main thoroughfares. Because of this, it seems essential to capitalize on bike lanes oriented north-south wherever possible. Albany ave is a wide street that could accomodate such lanes.
There needs to be a better way for the residents CB17 to access Prospect Park!! there's no uninterrupted two-way route that would do this, except Linden/Caton/Ocean. A possible solution would be to do an east-bound lane on Parkside ave, and a west-bound lane on Woodruff/Clarkson.
This could be an alternative route for access to the park/flatbush bike lane, but Empire is notoriously dangerous here (would have plenty of space for a protected lane, however.)
Would be great to get a bike route connection between the lanes in PLG to the new protected bike lane on Flatbush (between GAP and Empire). At the moment it's difficult and confusing to navigate the small but very busy stretch around Empire.
An ideal goal would be to figure out how to connect a potential bike lane on Linden Blvd (and the existing ones on Bedford Ave) to the bike lanes accessing the park on Ocean Ave. The section of Caton in between Ocean and Bedford would be the ideal place for it, but the street narrows out significantly between Ocean and Flatbush. Perhaps, for that short segment only, a lane of parking could be eliminated to create a protected bike lane--it would be essential because extremely heavy and dangerous 18-wheeler trucks use this route every day as well.
A bike route along New York avenue would help give alternatives to the residents of CB17, and also connect to existing lanes on Clarendon Rd, Lincoln, and Maple Ave.
Bike lanes on Snyder ave that ultimately connect to the existing network on Bedford ave would also provide essential usefulness of the bike network! East of Brooklyn ave, along the cemetery, a lane of parking could be eliminated to make space for a protected bike lane.
