The NYC DOT has announced plans to transform Dean and Bergen Streets into bike boulevards, a designation intended to prioritize bicycle and micromobility travel. These east-west residential corridors already experience high cyclist volume and are now slated for safety treatments including traffic-calming measures and improved intersection designs.

While maintaining local vehicle access, the project aims to reduce through traffic and vehicle speeds. Specific design elements, such as standard or protected bike lanes, will be determined through a multi-phase community engagement process and ongoing data collection.
