Bike Lane Protection

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

Unsafe Crossing

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?

This area accommodates cars, cyclists, and runners and is insufficiently wide to accommodate all these uses. It would be good to redesign this area to support its proper use.

Flushing Bay Promenade and waterfront should have more public access - and safer public access. The Flushing Bay is still vastly polluted and so much garbage is being dumped. It should be cleaned up and offer the public more chances to safely walk there and even bring non-motorized boats, too. Would be better with more native plants as well - maybe more environmental educational programs.

The only way for me to get from Flushing to east Elmhurst is by taking the Q66 one stop across this overpass. The bus is unreliable and sometimes will have me waiting 30 minutes to cross over when there is no safe pedestrian path. East Elmhurst and west of there have citi bike accessibility and now north eastern queens has the scooter programs but I am unable to use them in the opposite neighborhoods which would be the only way I could take the longer way across without the bus.

Water access for non motorized boats. Along the promenade there is no dedicated water access spot for kayaks and other small non motorized boats. The community utilizes this the docks at the marina (ie dragon boats) but it would be nice to have a dedicated kayak or boat launch.

This entire stretch of Ditmars Blvd could have one of those classic NYC DOT 2-way bike lanes like on Crescent Street or 20th Avenue. BUT it will absolutely need jersey barriers. The road is definitely wide enough. This year I have biked this section about a dozen times. There is fast-moving but very little car traffic. I have never seen it backed up on either of its 2 lanes. HOWEVER, there are many Ubers and car services camped out on it, they basically take up and entire lane, so there is effectively only one lane anyway. So....give them what they want: one lane of traffic one eastern side, one lane for parking, jersey barrier, 2-way bike lane. It could lead up towards the greenway along to Flushing Bay.

This area will be a challenge. I have no idea how it will be integrated. There is that short path just to the right of the bridge over to LGA, but frankly I have never seen anyone there in dozens of times passing.
