Bergen-Dean Bike Boulevard!

Bergen Street & Dean Street, Court Street to East New York Avenue
NYC DOT is proposing a street safety redesign along the Bergen and Dean Street corridors from Court Street to East New York Avenue in Brooklyn. The redesign will include a bike boulevard, a street design that prioritizes cyclists and pedestrians while maintaining local vehicle access. These corridors are designed to reduce traffic, calm speeds and create safer, more comfortable routes for riders of all ages.
