Is there an opportunity to slow and merge bicycling traffic from a protected Northern Blvd lane with Queens Blvd riders crossing the Sunnyside rail yard? The subway entrance poses dangers and I was hit by a driver trying to beat the light while he was driving from Jackson to Northern. The little chunk of street grid that shows on the map (where new development is going in) might be a good place to loop bikers around.
Cars coming off highway speed too munch. We need to transform how the entire Northern blvd looks. Add green, planted mediums so that it doesn't look like a highway. All along!
It would be great to have bike infrastructure here.
This is a busy intersection with a subway station and bus route. Occassionally straphangers cross at the red light to run from the subway exit on the south side of Northern Blvd to the Q18 bus stop on the north side of Northern Blvd.
In the evenings, there are almost never any drivers turning off of Northern during the left turn phase, but pedestrians are not allowed to cross.
This intersection is also missing some crosswalks.
The area from Honeywell to 46th Street is full of speeding.
At this loading dock I have seen trucks that extend from the dock across the sidewalk and the southernmost lane, forcing pedestrians to brave speeding traffic in the middle of the Boulevard.
There is speeding the whole length of Northern Boulevard, but the area between 49th and 54th Streets is particularly dangerous.
This highway merge intersection is not safe for pedestrians at all.
