34 Ave - 83 St - 84 St

34th Ave from Bway all the way to 111th would serve as a great bike route using median lanes similar to the Atlantic Ave Phase II reconstruction in Ozone Park. The roughly 17ft width on each side (excluding median and parking) will allow for the 6ft median lane (4ft bike lane directly adjacent with median + 2ft buffer) while leaving 11ft between bike lane and parking. This can easily start out as temporary works using painted lines and plastic bollards, including plastic curbs for the median-less portion between 59th and 69th. Have this protected route continue as a two-way PBL down one side of 58th street to connect with Queens Blvd and 48th Ave/Skillman Ave bike routes.

Junction Boulevard - 46 Ave - Alstyne Ave

Junction Boulevard is in a severe need of a protected bike lane. I see many cyclists use this road every single day traveling in close proximity to cars. Also, the Q72 is always crowded and slow. Additionally, I see parents with their children on bicycles rolling down Junction Boulevard with traffic in the morning.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A BIG JUMP if you have NO EFFING BIKES between Astoria and here? This portion of Queens already has promising bike lanes but we need some CITIBIKES!!!!!

99 St Pedestrian Overpass - 99 St - Horace Harding Expressway

Let's just agree that this awful chain link enclosure is an abomination that turns citizens into litterers, if not criminals...maybe some flowering vines to cover up this eyesore?

Horace Harding Expressway - Junction Boulevard - Lie Westbound Entrance 99 St

I'd argue that the width of the sidewalks along Horace Harding in this neighborhood is disproportionately narrow and utterly inadequate in relation to the size of the adjacent residential buildings and the number of occupants served. Walking along these sidewalks is an adrenaline-inducing experience. If by chance, you should have to step off the sidewalk to avoid colliding into other pedestrians, you are immediately in danger of being hit by an incoming vehicle traveling at 40mph+. There is no buffer whatsoever between pedestrian traffic and expressway traffic. A protected bike lane might provide such a buffer, while also providing an alternative means of travel for local residents.

Astoria Boulevard North - 23 Ave - 80 St

Either Astoria Blvd, or Ditmars/82nd St - please help!!! There are countless pedestrian and cyclists issues here and this is not safe for anyone; cars are out of control and there are never ending tragedies occurring here on a daily basis.

Please explore a way for cyclists to safely get into Upper Ditmars from East Elmhurst, either through 82nd St/Ditmars Blvd, or up Astoria Blvd. Thank you!

82 St - 23 Ave - Astoria Boulevard

Hi. This area is extremely dangerous, not just for cyclists, but for pedestrians. It is not even safe to walk across the street! Drivers are extremely aggressive and this area seems to bring out the worst in drivers. This may just be the worst intersection in the five boroughs. If not a bike lane here, how about dedicated green pedestrian crossings, while the traffic lights remain red in all directions? People cannot even cross on the eastbound side of Astoria Blvd. and 82nd St., with the cars making a left on Astoria Blvd. from 82nd St./Ditmars. Please please for the love of humanity, help this intersection!!!

There needs to be pedestrian and biking protection at this intersection - at a minimum, dedicated crossing for pedestrians, which cyclists could use. People can't even walk across Astoria Boulevard and 82nd St without risking their lives. Cars have taken over this area, and there at a minimum, needs to be pedestrian only green crossing lights, with all traffic lights red. Then bike lanes up through 82nd St and into Ditmars Boulevard, from East Elmhurst, into Upper Ditmars. Thanks.

108 St - Northern Boulevard - 34 Ave

Northern Boulevard should be given a complete "Great Streets" style redesign, providing paved and curbed protected bike lanes stretching all the way from Flushing via the Roosevelt Ave bridge through Citi Field, down Northern Blvd to the Queensboro Bridge entrance. Along Northern Blvd, bike lanes should deflect inward around bus stops creating bus stop islands for passengers while keeping bike lanes clear (refer to Mile End Rd in London, UK as a prime example). This would create another major bike route through Queens (in addition to Queens Blvd) connecting major centers of Flushing, Jackson Heights, Astoria, and LIC, and showcase everyday bike commuting as an attractive and safe alternative to car transport.
