        Flatbush Avenue is heavily congested — especially at the intersection of Flatbush and Church avenues.
        Residents in the area say they don’t feel unsafe walking the streets but make sure to be careful.
        Motorcyclist “Rock” says it’s dangerous driving in the intersection and most of Flatbush Avenue.
        "The city can't do anything to keep me safe; that's up to me," said Rock.
        We asked the city's Department of Transportation about projects happened at the intersection and throughout Flatbush and they never got back to us.
        Advocates with Transportation Alternatives say DOT made changes at Church Avenue and Flatbush Avenue like delayed green lights and an additional bus lane on Church Avenue.
