Extend greenway to 134th and College Point Park
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.
Extend greenway to 134th and College Point Park
7.1 - In the long term, it would be very good to connect to Whitestone and go down to Northern. A safer option. (Spanish: 7.1 - Sería muy buena para hacer a largo plazo → Alimentar a Whitestone y bajar a Northern = más seguro)
... Consider a Whitestone Route?
Crossing Northern Blvd is difficult to share space with pedestrians to avoid collisions. (Spanish: Pasaje de Northern Blvd es difícil de compartir espacio con peatones para evitar colisiones.)
Alternative routes are very narrow for shared greenways, especially Roosevelt. (Spanish: Vías alternativas son muy angostas para greenways compartidos, especialmente Roosevelt.)
Lots of potential to better use street space on Center Blvd.
Center Blvd is a bit of a free for all. Would need safer crossings/controlled intersections, rules are not clear. Would need to be obvious.
1.1 requires construction of two bridges. Question becomes whether the state will commit to construction effort.
Currently the park is accessed as a destination. Commuters aren't going along the waterfront. However, may have economic value to visit and relax. 1.2 is more of a TOD approach versus 1.1 because somewhat closer to current/potential businesses.
1.1 as the low speed route – cater to kids, skateboards, 10mph with design choices → develop 1.3 as high speed alternative
