This area has public schools planned, high school nearby, pretty busy oval nearby, and is on the path to get to the oval from either 7 train or the LIRR train. Yet, the infrastructure surrounding it gets all the idling train noise pretty much all day. This could be modernized in that folks could use either the subway or LIRR to come to the waterfront. More trees, lights and dedicated bike lanes would make the area more attractive being the center of it all.
The escooter program is so new it is not listed as a category for comments. However, it has already proven to be both quite successful and quite contentious. Please ensure that this program will remain available to folks in these communities so that they can enjoy our safe greenways.
The Cross Island/Joe Michaels Mile must have a green tree border separation with the traffic on the Cross Island. As it is, it's not a pleasant ride.

There is an existing path across Flushing Field at 26th Ave. Since the park prevents through traffic, this would be a good street for a bike boulevard like the one on 33rd Ave in Bayside
The LIRR has been doing work that has taken up a driving lane, and traffic still flows on Borden. This perfectly illustrates that the street could accommodate a PBL.
Years ago, DOT took the existing class 2 bike lanes on E Hampton Blvd and flipped them into a protected 2-way bike lane along the edge of Alley Pond Park. DOT should do the same on Center Blvd. This would reduce double parking, speeding, and myriad other complaints.
This is mapped as a city street, if it is indeed then it could be used to bring cyclists and pedestrians to 21st Ave
While you may wish to avoid building pedestrian bridges generally, this is a clear example of where one is needed. On game days, I often see the NYPD manually directing traffic here - indicating that PD also feels this intersection is unsafe. There's an elevation difference on the two sides that can be exploited to allow ramps only on one side.
There is a lot of channelization and excess roadway capacity on the service road for the Cross Island. Since the waterfront from Utopia Parkway to Francis Lewis Park is private, why not build protected bike lanes here to connect Francis Lewis Park and Little Bay Park?
