A survey of the Q66 route is essential now. It is never on schedule and could be improved by dedicated bus lane.
The road is extremely wide, and there is no way for pedestrians to know that eastbound traffic has a turn lane and signal. Often pedestrians cross before they have the walk sign, but are at huge risk from turning vehicles.
Cars are too eager to get on GCP and run reds and speed. This is a school zone- PS. 330, 143, and soon a middle school on DEADLY Astoria Blvd- onramp to highway!!!
Cars block the box going westbound & cars/bus can't turn left creating enormous amount of traffic. Dangerous for pedestrians crossing as well.
Road median needed here long crossing distance
I'm particularly interested in an eastbound bike lane from 31st st. to Woodside Ave. My morning commute is on Skillman (which is great) but for my evening commute (in the dark), only making right turns is safer so I take Northern Blvd (usually to 42nd Pl)... to make my way to Woodside Ave and 56th st.
Northern needs dedicated bus lanes along its full length and full-time SBS if not a proper center-lane BRT. The rush hour traffic is largely made up of vehicles that should be on the LIE or GCP but are instead seeking out the free bridge crossing to Manhattan (please pass congestion pricing!). The cars should not be there in that volume so focus on providing fast convenient bus transportation.
Another poor curb ramp for wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, and other mobility assistants.

This is the most egregious example, but these curb ramps are just not accessible. I'm not an engineer so I don't know the standards, but these have to be fixed.
