Uncomfortable for Novice Cyclists

10/02/2024 - 18:08

Center Boulevard - 50 Ave - 51 Ave - Queens

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.

Northern Boulevard - Linden Pl - Connector

Biking on Northern Blvd is terrifying

Narrow Sidewalk

Prince St - Northern Boulevard - Flushing Brdg Ped And Bike Path

Very difficult to make this left turn onto northbound Prince St, when crossing the bridge eastbound. No room, sharp turn, fast cars.

Long Wait to Cross

Van Wyck Expressway Et 13 W Nb - Flushing Brdg Ped And Bike Path - Marina Rd Bike Path

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.

Ditmars Boulevard - 46 St - 47 St

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.

Aggressive Drivers

82 St - 23 Ave - Grand Central Parkway

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.

Ditmars Boulevard - Ditmars Boulevard - 25 Ave

To go Flushing-bound from Astoria is easy -- you take 23rd Ave east through East Elmhurst, and then Ditmars to the Greenway. However, to go Astoria-bound from Flushing is not simple. There is no easy route. Google Maps suggests cyclists take Astoria Boulevard in a westerly direction, which is obviously very dangerous.

Difficult Turn/Crossing

31 Drive Pedestrian Overpass - Ditmars Boulevard - Flushing Bay Promenade

There is no traffic signal here for cars, so a cyclist leaving the greenway towards south on 31st Drive simply has to wait for cars to be nice enough to let them go. Needs traffic signal badly.

Sharp, dangerous turn.

Flushing Bay Promenade - Flushing Bay Promenade - Pedestrian And Bike Path Link

Fencing has been erected here for several months, with no public display of what kind of work they are doing. The fencing takes up half of the width of the path, which is supposed to be shared between cyclists and pedestrians. Dangerous collision point.
