At the entrance of Joe Michael's Mile, folks often take a break at the benches. It might be nice to have a bike work stand, public art, and a map showing the greenway system in the area and connections to destinations.
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 cycling routes from Long Island City to Astoria to East Elmhurst to Fort Totten. 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.

There is no bus service on Bowne between Northern and Sanford; therefore, this section could more effectively support a north/south protected bike lane.
The Utopia bike lane is a class 2 buffered bike lane; simply flipping the alignment to place it between the parked cars and the curb would increase safety without any change in roadway space allocation.
This location already hosts a NYC bike map from several decades ago. It would be good to replace the existing map with one that shows connections in the area and focuses on where the greenways in the area take you. It should also have a bike repair stand, seating, art, and other elements to brand the greenway and allow people to spend time there.
Ferry Service to the City
no sidewalk, many uneven sidewalk flags in this area
All 3rd Ave heading to Francis Lewis Park are discontinuous sidewalks, ending abruptly or property extending into sidewalk.
The brige conneciton here is confusing because you would think the wider ramp area would be used for cyclists but the wider ramp has a curb leading into it as well as a pop hole. They just repaved the smaller pedestrian side with a wheel chair red ramp that is very enticing to cyclists who don't want to hit the curb at high speed or case a pot hole. So the cyclist end up taking the walker ramp which could cause someone to ride into a person with a baby stroller or a runner because the trees block make it a blind corner.
150th Street has a massive amount of speeding and was even worse before the stop sign at 26th Ave was put in. I think there needs to be speed bumps and speed cameras put in from Bayside Ave all the way to Willets Point Blvd.
The road Narrows here and squishes cyclists into the driving lane but then the lane re-appears after 2 houses. Seems like very pour designed road way that can put cyclists in danger. A bike path all along 26th Ave sounds like a great bike path connection to the cross island bike path bridge on 28th Ave.
