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.
This crossing is a dangerous bike trail crossing a high-speed highway onramp. This route MUST be grade separated to eliminate the high likelihood of severe accidents in this portion of the route. Please implement a bike/pedestrian bridge!
37th Ave is a busy commercial strip. There are many pedestrians and people riding bikes. Double parking often makes this street incredibly dangerous for people on bikes. A protected bike lane could mitigate unsafe driver behavior and provide a means for local residents to better access shops on this street.
Happy to hear that Ditmars Blvd will get physically protected bike lanes west of 27th Avenue all the way to 82nd St and up to 20th Avenue. Please implement these ASAP. Northwestern Queens is in dire need of on-street protected bike lanes!
34th Avenue west of 70th Street has plenty of room for protected bike lanes all the way to Broadway. Please implement asap!
34th Avenue east of 111th Street has plenty of room for parking protected bike lanes in both directions. Furthermore, the intersection of 34th Avenue and 114th Street/GCP Exit Ramp should be further improved for those biking and walking through this critical and unsafe juncture.
Shea Road in Flushing Meadows Park should have a physically protected bike path. I often bike into the park at UN Ave N, then onto Meridian Road, north to Shea Road to access Citi Field for Mets games. There are places where cars have access and people drive fast and recklessly during Mets games and other events. All of these routes should have physical protected for those biking and walking here.
55th Avenue is the most direct route to 111th Street & Flushing Meadows Corona Park from Queens Blvd. Please make this a friendlier crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.
53rd Avenue is the most direct route from 111th Street & Flushing Meadows Corona Park to the west and to Queens Blvd. Please make this a friendlier crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.
Lewis Avenue west of 100th Street is wide enough for a protected bike lane. Please add one here and continue it as far west as possible towards Queens Blvd.
