Many fast and dangerous U-turns from drivers heading East on Astoria blvd west onto 27th Ave. I suggest extending the curb and creating a proper turn from Astoria to 27th Ave. In other words, drivers on Astoria Blvd heading East would turn left on Astoria Blvd and Astoria Blvd heading West would turn right onto 27th Ave. Like this https://www.adamfishercox.com/_projects/safe-astoria/ Same treatment on the East side of 21st St with Newtown Ave.

There is no crosswalk to access the triangle formed by 18th St, Astoria Blvd, and 27th Ave. There are many young children crossing with parents at this spot in particular. We need a STOP sign and a crosswalk here. I would suggest having a stop sign on 27th Ave on both sides of 18th St. It feels very dangerous and I worry about drivers running over kids that are obscured behind parked cars.

I support DOT Option #3 with center bus lanes for 21st Street. The dedicated bus lanes and elimination of curbside parking (and double parking) will compensate for the lane reduction when it come to traffic. It will also become a much safer street due to shorter crossings and less speeding.

As a senior who lives near 21st Street and 34th Avenue I am concerned about the side effects of the redesign options on my ability to travel to the doctor, to go food shopping and to receive packages. Therefore, I favor the redesign option that will have the smallest impact on passenger vehicles and package delivery services. I would urge the planners to take a more holistic approach and examine how their redesign options will impact the entire daily life of the neighborhood especially the daily life of us Astoria seniors. Thanks.

The left-turn restriction during rush-hour signage on 21st St, NB and SB, is difficult, to impossible, to see at this intersection.

The new bike lanes are a welcome addition, however, cars and trucks view them as an opportunity for additional car parking. On these streets where bike lanes are adjacent to businesses, often bikes need to swerve into the street to avoid double parked vehicles delivering to businesses, or awaiting repair, or just parking in the "extra" parking space afforded by the bike lane. This is a dangerous situation for bicyclists and moving vehicles..

Along these back streets, 22rd St, 23th St. cars regularly do not stop fully at stop signs, instead, gently rolling through, a danger to bicyclists.

The Q66 and Q69 both stop here, the morning rush hour is (before COVID, at least) extremely crowded, with crowded buses by-passing the stop. Why not allow the Q100 stop here, in both directions, to help alleviate the overload of riders waiting to get to work? Even if it's just for rush hour? It seems like an easy and sensible bus node... three buses at one location.

Cars can be heard racing along 21st St during late hours, Can't something also be done about the super loud radio playing in vehicles, and also super loud engines on both cars and motor cycles, which rev up and down 21st St, also with large groups of motorcycles loudly riding up and down 21st St?
