Begging you for a bus lane on Astoria Boulevard between 21st St and 31st St. That's all that is needed. The Q19 crawls because of car traffic, the chaotic intersection of 31st St and Astoria Blvd, and cars making illegal left turns from Astoria Blvd onto 30th St southbound. A bus lane would fix the 19 so much.
Cars coming off highway. Very wide roadway. Does not feel safe as a cyclist
Would be great to have better protection on 34th Ave between Junction and 114th. Drivers drive into the unprotected bike lane all the time.
Difficult to make any turn here on a bike - lots of cars
The protected bike lane starting at 50th Ave on Center Blvd is constantly filled with pedestrians walking their dogs or kids in strollers making it difficult for novice cyclists to use the bike lane safely. Pedestrians seem to think it's a walking lane. Better signage is needed. There is no protected bike lane from 49th Ave to N. Basin Rd and there are always double parked cars on both sides of Center Blvd, forcing cyclists to navigate around vehicles.
Biking on Northern Blvd is terrifying
Very difficult to make this left turn onto northbound Prince St, when crossing the bridge eastbound. No room, sharp turn, fast cars.
Cars do not have any signal to stop, so if you want to cross this unnamed road to the bridge path, you just have to wait until a car is nice enough to stop. Usually they don't.
A bike lane on Ditmars would be very helpful. From 31st St to 45th St, it's traffic-clogged, so difficult to bike on. From Hazen St to 81st Street it's extremely wide, and usually not too many cars, but cars could go very fast if they wanted to. No reason not to have a bike lane here.
This is an extremely dangerous intersection for cyclists. If I were a novice, I would never, ever bike here. Going southbound on Ditmars / 82 St, crossing the GCP off / on ramp is terrifying. Drivers zoom by without any regard. Additionally, when you cross with the pedestrian signal, drivers turning left from 82 St onto the on-ramp do not yield. I have been hit before by a car here. The turn from 82 St southbound to 23rd Ave eastbound is similarly difficult / dangerous. Cyclists need to be protected.
