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 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?
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.
