The S Conduit Blvd is the only road accessible to get to JFK from Bushwick, Cypress Hills, and Bed-Stuy, you need to seriously think long-term, JFK terminal 4 is expanding; don’t make a mess for us Taxi Drivers, do not cut lines, 3 lines is more than enough, and please eliminate the traffic light where S Conduit meets Linden Blvd, just make that a roundabout or something more practical, not a single pedestrian walks through it.

Consider replacing the intersections at N and S Conduit with Sutter and Pitkin with roundabouts, which would remove the need for the heavy left turns for traffic being forced to bend around the Conduit.

Add contraflow bike access so cyclists can continue and use the ped crossings where the minor streets become one-way for flip traffic direction to limit cars, e.g. this block of Crescent that if you continue south is a good place to cross Conduit using the traffic light and crosswalks here.

Add turn lanes and/or ban turns along Euclid and Crescent between Liberty and Jamaica to improve throughput and decrease honking/congestion between Cypress Hills St and the Conduit.

Improve access to north end of ped bridge for cyclists and pedestrians, hard to ramp up from the street via bike, and hard to find entrance.

If a bike lane is planned on Conduit, please consider how it will connect to the Jamaica Bay Greenway/Belt Pkwy (which basically ends at 90th St in Howard Beach)

This current configuration serves nobody well and is a safety nightmare for pedestrians, drivers, and bike riders. Something to make this area more human oriented and safety oriented for all users within a two to three block radius is much needed here. The dark underpasses and broken sight lines are a nightmare for everyone.

The Conduit is the primary way we drive to JFK via Atlantic Avenue and it's always a little confounding to have so much mess in the grassy divider. But primarily the problem is that it feels like it should be a highway but it's not so either make it a highway with exits for Cross Bay and etc. or make it a more person-friendly city road.

Would be great to get rid of these highway-like overpasses and reclaim more of this area for public open space and recreational opportunities

As someone who walks this corridor regularly, I’m urging NYC DOT to completely rethink the Conduit Avenue/Boulevard redesign. Right now, it’s dangerous, loud, and completely hostile to pedestrians. The current setup favors cars at the expense of basic human safety—and the proposed changes don’t go far enough. This is what needs to happen: • Remove a travel lane in each direction. There are simply too many lanes encouraging high-speed driving through residential neighborhoods. No one needs a six-lane highway cutting through East New York. • Add continuous sidewalks on both sides of the corridor. It’s unacceptable that parts of this street don’t even have sidewalks—especially near schools and transit stops. • Reclaim the massive, wasted median space in the center. Right now, it’s just dead land because the corridor is too dangerous to cross safely. That space should be used for protected pedestrian crossings, green space, or even a community promenade—not as a buffer for dangerous driving. • Add raised crosswalks, pedestrian islands, and tighter turn radii at intersections to slow drivers down and protect people crossing. • Midblock crossings should be added on the longer stretches where there’s currently no safe way to cross. • Fix the signal timing to give pedestrians a head start and enough time to cross, not just a few seconds before cars start turning into them. If NYC is serious about equity, climate, and Vision Zero, this corridor cannot stay a mini-freeway. It should be a safe, connected, walkable street—designed for people, not pass-through traffic.
