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.
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.
These stores always have people parking in the bike lane. We need to move the cars out into the street and put the bike lane against the curb for a green protected bike lane instead of a Conventional bike lane.
This bike path is trying to do too much. It's split between walkers on one side and skaters and cyclists on the other. during after work hours this park comes full with walkers who park there cars for free at the parking lot near by to either go play hockey, the dog park, or just to look at a nice view of the bridges. This park is a prime example of cars being subsides will all these road ways and cyclists are given to work with the scraps for paths. And when cyclist win walkers flood into our spaces. I recommended a wider bike lane but that might not even solve it.
There needs to be a fence that goes high enough for cyclists to feel safe. As it stands there is just a stone wall here that comes to waist height. if a walker was to meet a cyclist on this bridge which happens a lot the walker could either maliciously or accidently push the cyclists off the bridge into the creek which is more than a 50ft drop. I can't believe there is not a fence here like there is on the promenade bridges that cross over the grand central parkway.
Very confusing end to a very dangerous bridge path
A bike lane after the northern blvd bridge would be a perfect way to show cyclists that connections matter and there commutes matter. Giving people a preferred direction after getting across the dangerous northern blvd bridge will show them that they can travel by bike to work or even with kids. Instead of just dropping them off at a six lane highway to fend for themselves. Like how bike lanes just end in LA. Also this road needs a complete repave after the construction crew for The Prince apartment building on 35th destroyed this road. It would be nice to see a re-designed paint scheme for a bike lane since your are going to have to redo the road anyways.
