Please use the map below to provide any feedback, concerns, or suggestions you have regarding the Queens Waterfront Greenway. Please be as specific as possible.
This corridor will close gaps in pedestrian and cycling routes from Long Island City and Astoria to East Elmhurst and College Point, Queens. Running parallel to the Long Island Sound, this route will improve transportation options throughout New York City's most diverse borough and enhance park access for Queens neighborhoods with limited green space. Connecting these neighborhoods with an active transportation network will particularly benefit Queens residents living within much of the planning area who are underserved by public transit access.

Speed limit is 25mph, however due to road design, cars easily reach 40mph here, and aggressively drive to reach their exits for the expressways/Corona. Physical safety features are an absolute must for this area.
Expanding the work DOT has done on 34th Ave further east into Corona to FMCP would give Jack Height and Corona residents an easier and safer route to the central segment of the Greenway.
Broadway is a direct connection between Elmhurst and Astoria. Adding a bike lane here would help connect these neighborhoods, and with Queens Blvd, the ones further east. This would be a great way for people in Central Queens to access the western end of the Greenway more directly.
108th is the most direct route connecting Rego Park/Forest Hills to Corona. Not only would a protected bike lane here help connect to the waterfront, but it would also help connect these three neighborhoods, leading to more commercial activity in both. It would also help connect two areas of different wealth levels, which will help all of Queens.
No public bike parking for the mall
The bike lane just ends after the bridge, this results in an awkward merge on the roadway or bikes riding on the sidewalk
There are many conflicts between cars turning into skyview and the path onto the bridge.
finish the jackson ave bike lane
protected bike lane on jackson connecting the existing segments please. currently it’s quite dangerous cuz it expands to two car lanes for what, 1.5 blocks? which drivers use to slam on the gas to pass each other…just for it to reduce back to one lane
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.
Do you want to show us the area in StreetView before submitting?
