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.
