Confusing Bike Route Connection

Both bridges connecting the Flushing Bay Promenade to the city streets are badly designed and in poor condition. The inclines on the street side of these need to be normalized with the street, because as they are they make if very difficult for cyclists to get themselves safely to the curb so they can see when it's safe to cross. But also, could we get on demand stop lights here or something? It's like playing frogger from a dead stop on the side of a highway. It's diffcult to access the promenade all around, and very little indication to the public that there is public green space there.

There needs to be a curb cut for cyclists to get into the park. I either use the pedestrian curb cut to the south, or the Hall of Science curb cut to the north, but creates confusion and conflict. For new cyclists there's no way to know this is their best route into the park. Signage would be helpful as well. ALSO: it's off the map, but extremely important. The redesign of the bridge between the Hall of Science and the Tennis complex is a nightmare for pedestrians and cyclists. Having highway access at one of the few and most important ped/bike access points to the park (over the said highway no less) is insulting, confusing, dangerous, and offputting. This should be redesigned to prioritze non-vehicular usage.

The signage for Westbound cyclists does a poor job of indicating the 1 block camel hump. It's also an extremely unusual design, so not something anyone would look for. Also, the shared ped/bike space under the LIE is dark, dirty and depressing. There's also nothing to indicate to pedestrians that they are sharing that space with cyclists.

MASSIVE veto on the idea of making 99th the official bike crossing location, especially to cross the LIE. As a woman who typicaly walks and bikes alone I avoid what I call "rape cages" at all costs. But setting aside the safety issue, the second you ask a cyclist to climb a steep incline or dismount and walk their bike your bike route has a 100% failure. Road engineers design our streets to enable drivers to making sweeping unemcumbered movements with their car at speed, why should we expect someone who is powering their transportation with their body to expend that much additional energy and time just so we can enable those drivers to blast along with their foot on the gas pedal. My routes under the LIE are Queens Blvd, Junction and 108th. The Junction and 108th underpasses need to be redesigned to accomodate cyclists if you want any hope of new riders moving between Rego Park and Corona.

The insanse private passenger commuter vehicle parking near this policy precint, and gorilla parking spaces they have painted for themselves are an obstacle to walking, let alone cycling. Officers looking to commute by car need to find legal parking spaces for their commute, no different than any other commuter. Working for the policy should not put them above the law. This is not unique to this precinct, but the level of audacity is particularly astonishing.

Junction Boulevard is the main through route in this entire district and in my mind is absolutely essential as a bike route. I use it more than any other road in this section of map other than Broadway. I started using it when I discovered just how terrible the Q72 is. Huge headways followed by a creeping trip to get by the massive traffic at the LIRR and double parking near the 7 train. Massive rearrangements required between Queens Blvd and Norhern Blvd on Junction.

Add a protected bike lane on the south curb of Grand Av. Ban left turns on Van Horn St, 83rd St, and 82nd St. Add dedicated left turn for 80 St.

Es una buena idea poner un carril 98 St & 34. (It is a good idea to put a lane on 98th St and 34th Ave).

103-39. Me gustaria que hubiera mas indicaciones para los que andan en bicicleta. (I would like there to be more signage for those that bike.)
