There are no current plans for bike lanes on Coney Island Avenue.
Note the double parkers. Note the standing at a hydrant. Note the speed limit sign!
Standing in bus stop. Again standing at a hydrant. And more double parkers.
It won't take much to change Coney Island Avenue from a highway to a street and substantially deter "egregiously irresponsible conduct." It will however take more than a speed limit sign.
"The Department of Transportation plans to install
pedestrian islands.... The safety study will particularly focus on where
Coney Island intersects with Avenue L, Avenue C, Dorchester Road, Ditmas Avenue, Quentin Road and Crawford Avenue, Gastel said."
To give you an idea of what Gastel is talking about, here's one pedestrian refuge island with bell bollards (photo NYC DOT):
