Eastern Rockaway Access

There is no sidewalk or way to access Bayswater Park from Norton Avenue or Beach 41st st houses.

This would be an idea spot for a ferry terminal. People in Far Rockaway might be inclined to take it as opposed to going all the way to Breezy Point

This corner has so many people waiting outside of the Teen Library. A bus shelter would make the experience waiting for a bus much more enjoyable.

Please add bike park for the Far Rockaway High School Campus. Students might want to bike to the school to and from their house

Need a crossing here for bikes and pedestrians trying to access Cross Bay Bridge

Parking on both sides of the street makes it very difficult for multiple cars to drive down the street. There is not enough room for cars to go two ways.

Poor lighting, poor visibility and no crosswalk when you go to or get off subway

This is a very difficult intersection and important for Beach 41st house tenants to use to get to food market.

aggressive drivers; dangerous to cross the street; potholes

Q114 is never on time

cornaga doesn't have a good bicycle lane

drivers going down Seagirt avenue very fast - like it's NASCAR

Beach 19 street and Smith Place should be realigned.

More PUBLIC parking is required.

Mott Avenue should be widened. Space can be taken from the shopping center parking lot. There should be no stopping signs for buses (except at bus stops).

Lighting needed on BCD from Gipson to Oceancrest.

Bike lane encourages pedestrians to walk in the street. There are far more pedestrians in the bike lane than bicycles.

The intersection does not meet the warrent requirements for an all-way stop.

The yellow line does not allow enough space e/b (to NY 878) for a vehicle to drive to the right of the line.

The yellow line does not allow enough space n/b (to Doughty Bl) for a vehicle to drive to the right of the line.

The NYS Supplement to the MUTCD only allows pavement markings as a SUPPLEMENT to signs. They may NOT be used alone.

The signal for Beach Channel Drive s/b traffic is not visible to vehicles at the stop line. See www.solutionsNY.NYC/dot.html

The timing of this intersection violates federal and state standards since all approaches are downhill. A 3 second yellow period does nopt allow suficient reaction time.

You have encouraged pedestrians to walk in the street.

Redesign this most confusing knot of converging/crossing roadways. For instance more safe pedestrian crossings, better signage, improve and add bike lane flow.

This is the most confusing coming cross roads conglomeration that is long overdue for a redesign. Better signage, more pedestrian crossings, add bike lane flow.

Should be a ferry dock

Calming needed along Brunswick. Cars speed and drive aggressively

No connection btwn Nassau expwy

Area needs to be repaved

Beach channel Dr. going east of 57th needs to be repaved

People cross in unsafe ways; a lot of foot traffic

Potholes on roadway

Bike lane along Central Ave

More frequent A line service

Local streets should have smart lights w/ motion sensor

Needs a light for safety

Extend Q52 between B67th - B25. No bus service out of Rockaway; isolates community from shopping corridor. Limited transfer options to other bus lines. Underserved community at Beach 49th to Rockaway Beach Blvd.

Don't remove extra right hand turn from Central to Mott Ave (slip lane) going Westbound. T.O.B.C.D.

Turn Police parking into public parking and move them to the bottom of bridge

Q113 & Q114 Long wait. Wait up to an hour and it usually 45 min wait!

Create parking

Bus shelter needed

Streets need to be repaired here. The roads are not leveled. This is from BCH 44 to BCH 54

Close the opening so no cars can turn! Dead end street!

There are no street lights here from 54 - 59 on Arverne Blvd.

There was a proposal presented by the Rock away Waterfront Alliance wants to convert this road into a bicycle only route! Is this the plan? You can make it accessible to bikers, but there is no reason why drivers shouldn't be allowed to be here.

We need A service to run and stop here not only during rush hour, but all the time.

The Shuttle doesn't run on weekends!

There is no sign/street light that alerts eastbound traffic they can't turn right onto Beach 94th. Cars looking for parking turn right on this street!

Earlier 6am bus service needed (Q17) going into MN

More left turns should be allowed off of freeway

Needs clear stop sign

Needs biking along the board walk

Redesign of road from 56-62nd. Install ped walkways and sidewalks. Landscaping and Parking needed.

The Q22 is SLOW! 45 min wait!

More frequent A trains to the Rockaways. Too many Lefferts only. Newer trains

Need more A trains; especially in evenings

Put bike lanes here! Bikers are using this road to bike. It's safer and less congested. In addition to that there is no intersection so this route is more bike friendly!

Beachfront Rd from 60th-62nd is a dark area on GPS not visible to emergency vehicles

Rockaway FWY- Poorly lit under elevated train. May pedestrians use this at night.

Longer greens to AM Rush

High volume of traffic on Beach Channel Drive.

Add more service on the Q53, During the summer many people are coming to the beach by bus.

Needs parking as part of any future developments

Sometimes the waiting time is 45 min for the A trainafter transferring from the Shuttle at Broad Channel. Extend the A train service!

Floods often in the low lying areas

Ave needs to be resurfaced

Bike lane on boardwalk

A train needs to improve service.

Dangerous location for bus stop. One lane East and West. Cars drive around it making it very dangerous for pedestrians

What makes the train trestle such an ideal bike/pedestrian location is the fact that it is safe and dry during inclement weather. With a little forethought it can easily be turned into an exit route during evacuations. It will allow cyclists to travel the length of the peninsula East to West, and vice versa, giving the east siders better access to the long wished for ferry.

There is a need for a STOP sign to be placed at the corner of Beach 62nd st and Beach front road. we need one for traveling east bound on beachfront road and B62nd as well as one traveling southbound of B62nd st. We currently have nothing there and traffic is dangerous.

Also if we can have Signage for chidren at Play, Slow down on Beach 62nd st. as well as Beach 61st, beach 60th, 59th st. cars are currently speeding through these streets.
Also would like to request speed bumps to slow down traffic on B62nd st between RBB and beachfront front.

Shore Front Parkway should have left hand turns that line up with the entrances to the Daton complexes.

Dormans Court needs to be paved and proper ADA corner curbs need to be installed. Street needs proper signage on pole.

Beach 88th St. and Old Beach 88th St. need proper connection.

This street (Old Beach 88th St.) is missing the curb and proper signage.

This subway station and the other stations over the Freeway have space other stations citywide don't have for bicycle parking (especially under the stairs) or even an elevator.

Use this unused space to create a continuous path, uniting the eastern and western stretches of the Freeway. This can be a good place for a park and/or wetlands providing environmental benefits.

Most of the freely runs adjacent or close, parallel, to another street that cars can anddo use, with available capacity. In this specific case, the Freeway is sandwiched between two significant streets; crossing here is like crossing Queens Boulevard. The Freeway should be a pedestrian and cyclist Greenway.

Connectivity to the Ferry. This comment is specifically in reference to making a connection from the Q22 to the ferry at 108th Street. When the ferry is put back in service in 2017, a Q22 bus stop should be added at the ferry pier to allow people to connect from the ferry to the bus without having to walk to Rockaway Beach Boulevard.

Add evacuation signs throughout the peninsula so that people know where they have to go in case of a hurricane, storm, etc.

Very long waits for the Q22

Add a bus connection for all the buses passing through

Crumbling curbs and medians along Far Rockaway Freeway from B108 - B87 (& Further East). Gull Court Median B88-B89. Sidewalks and medians in disrepair

Put crosswalk at SFP where curb cutout is and put yield to pedestrians sign

There should be a train that goes directly to Rockaway Beach instead of going to Broad Channel and waiting for the S train; an example would be the H train.

There could be less bus stops, i.e stops every 5 blocks.
- More buses should come into Rockaway. For example, the Q21 line could be brought back into Rockaway and alleviate crowding on other Rockaway bound buses, particularly the Q52 and Q53.
- The Q52 bus line should be extended to Mott Ave to alleviate overcrowding on the Q22.
- There can be double buses or extended buses so that there is space for everyone on the bus and less crowding.
- There should be increased busing where the train doesn't stop, particularly between 90th to 67th.
- There should be more frequent trains and buses so that missing a bus or train doesn't lead to a long wait.
- There should be a better alignment of the schedules for the Shuttle and A train so that there is less of a wait at Broad Channel.
- The buses should be more accessible to senior citizens and those with disabilities. This can be done by having more folding seats and a ramp that actually slopes downward and to the ground on buses. Extending the buses will also provide more space for people with disabilities.
- Increase the number of amenities in Rockaway, particularly hospitals, medical clinics, and more local businesses.
- Provide the Rockaways with a mall and a movie theater, and stop the increase of nursing homes and homeless shelters.

Why is the A train SO SLOW? It crawls all the way to Manhattan. It would actually not be such a bad commute if the train ran at normal speed. No other subway lines run at such a slow speed. Please fix whatever the problems are on this line so that the commute to Manhattan can be more reasonable. Lack of reliable transportation is the main reason people don't want to move to Rockaway.

Evening QM15 buses (after 7:30 PM when QM16/17 buses are no longer running) going to the Far Rockaway Bus Depot should drop off passengers going to Rockaways here instead of dumping us off at Howard Beach. This is critical especially during the winter months. It is heartless to refuse to drop off people in Rockaway when you are going there anyway. The bus driver should announce at the last stop whether he/she is going to Rockaway and let those who need to go there stay on the bus and be dropped off here. Thanks. Please listen. This is an easy thing to do.

Pedestrians attempt to enter through this area to head to the beach

Add bus shelter. This bus stop gets congested quick due to people getting on/off the stop to shop and participate in recreation

add wayfinding to help guide people to the beach.

Pedestrians do not have a sidewalk to safely walk along this stretch

pedestrians have no sidewalk, especially along Edgemare Avenue

vehicles running red lights

vehicles speed along shore front pkwy

Remove this bus stop. Pedestrians are blindsided by the bus when crossing the street. Vehicles tend to pass bus on the left side of the lane, which can swipe crossing pedestrians. Single lane also reduces visibility

Numerous potholes - needs repair

Add bus service for kids. Nearest public transit hub is at least 5 blocks away from Frederick Douglass Academy

Add bus connection here. Closest mass transit connection is far. Residents would like to see more transit options available for them to get into/around rockaways.

bring ferry service back

Poor lane markings make the intersection confusing

No lane markings on long stretch of rockaway beach Boulevard

Re-Open the Rockaway Rail Line. This would allow residents of Rockaway and other areas of Southern Queens easier and faster access to Midtown Manhattan and other areas of Queens.

Dix by beach channel people speeding

Open the Rockaway Freeway to car traffic again. There are currently 2 lanes for east and westbound traffic: BCD & RBB. We have many more residents & visitors, which equals more traffic. Drivers get aggressive because everyone is frustrated. All it takes is one very slow car or truck to get everyone backed up. We need more roads and BETTER roads.

Better St. lights on Freeway around B59th St.

B35th -B59th: Streets have a lot of potholes. Very dangerous for drivers

Roads running through Edgemere are in terrible condition. Serious resurfacing issues

Need a stop light at Seagirt and 28th

Trains and buses are always late. Had to wait 2 hours once

ADA compliant access needed for all stations

From 67th to 54th on Rockaway there are no legal left turns. Cars make illegal lefts all the time... especially on 62nd

Squatters are coming into this area and creating congestion

Crazy intersection; extremely dangerous

Cars come zooming around hill and it's a blinds pot intersection. Dangerous for peds crossing too.

N31 and N32 buses are always late.

Bad lights for cars at Mott and 22nd. Redo lighting system

For decades the City, State, Federal governments, our elected officials, and the community's lack of quality of living have all contributed to the decay of the Rockaways. With that being said, people need to grow up and act like human beings! Take care of where you live, because no one is going to give a rat's tail if you don't do it first! Trust me, no surfer or use of a beach is going to bring total revitalization to this Peninsula. Having viable transportation to and fro is key. The Ferry service should be afforded to everyone, using all sensible spaces along the waterfront to give residents a choice. The Q52, Q53 should be available to the East and West End. The "Underway" should not be for cars, why, because I've experienced out of town drivers who've wanted to end my life, at the wheel of their car while walking the "Underway"! Not once but twice, deliberate acts by motorists, not only not caring about the pedestrian's safety, however blatantly wanting to do me harm! You have to be kidding me with the studies, you people know that for decades people have been losing life and limb on account of the police not checking quality of life issues where drivers are concern! However they'll feel free to pull over someone, stranger, suspicion of buying drugs or speeding! Please give me a break. Start by repairing roadways, and extending the Shore Front Parkway to free up and ease traffic for all of where motorists can actually drive upon. Not only does your agency, HPD, Parks, DOT, Transit, you all know and have history of this area. First of all start taking a living survey yourselves, by actually staying and seeing for yourselves first hand. Come out the Ivory tower of your mind, stop beating us in the head about impact studies! Stop using our communities, Rockaway residents as lab rats for your studies that you already know the outcome of... My solution, build better roadways on both sides of the "Underway"! Take the plans of the Urban planning done by colleges with Rockaway Waterfront Alliance, now called RISE and implement those ideas. Began to follow the leading of the community with the plans Jean DuPont and participants have voiced thus far. Began to make a clear and concise use of the "Underway" from one end to the other end, East to West, for pedestrians, bikers, roller blades users, and roller skaters. Need I go on, you know the need, Obama's directed you to deal with infrastructure nationwide, and frankly long as I have breath, I will see the bright future, of having great shopping,(food, essentials, and clothing) housing, and cultural amenities. As long as sustainability, resiliency, and the quality of life issues rewards us all. Might as well get started...NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop pushing, paper and statistics and get busy

There are 2 different signals for crossing under the a train and people only expect one so when they cross under the train they continue into the cross-street and there are lots of crashes

Bus at beach 15th

Going from the q22 bus stop to the stop and shop is dangerous and hard to cross streets because drivers don't yield

Confusing intersection for drivers

Cars should be removed from this underpass all together. not enough cars to warrant keeping them and the ones using this roadway are speeding and fatal crashes occur on regular basis. The entire stretch of underpass should have lanes for bikers, walkers and cars. Very dangerous right now with pot holes, and cars driving across the entire roadway leaving no where for walkers to safely travel at day or night. Additionally the underpass offers shelter from rainy weather, snow and sun for pedestrians and bikers.

Underpass area is neglected and overgrown. This could be excellent bike path to connect east and west end.

Access to the Mott ave subway is blocked by fencing. This would be great place for bike rack or bike rental/amenities so people could make their way to subway and downtown Far Rockaway.

this area is a disgrace. car traffic is blocked off, lights are wrapped in burlap so there is confusion for cars and pedestrian. WHy not give people some benches, emergency call boxes, better lighting and trash cans to make the area better. Designate a walking and bike lane here.

no sidewalk along the street here. Pedestrians and biker have no designated lanes to safely travel. Cars speeding

Fatal car accidents are frequent at this site under the elevated due to speeding cars. Large stretch of neglected space south of elevated track should be better utilized with green infrastructure to reduce flooding in the street, parking, information kiosks and seating.

Cars and people cannot drive and walk safely. Need a concrete medium.

Cars weave and speed on street. Very dangerous. Need a concrete medium.

Cars and people cannot drive and walk safely. Need a concrete medium. Road way to wide.

cars weave and speed uncontrollable.
