Trees pushing up Flushing Bay Promenade cobblestones / paver stones the cause consistent bumps for commuters to be thrown off there wheeled rides. I saw a guy on a e-scooter hit the ground after failed to see the bumps going from sunlight to shaded area. Feels almost like a pump track to cyclists but can cause flats and crashes

Bike Lane Protection

10/23/2024 - 16:59

The whole cross island park bike/walk path protects cyclists and runners/walkers from motorist that are moving upwards of 70mph(speed limit 55) by a single metal interstate guardrail. If a single accident happens at any significant speed on the interstate this puts pedestrians in danger. At interstate speeds a northbound vehicle could easily flip over or bust through the guardrail killing any pedestrians on the other side. I recommend a large stone barrier to be put in place. The same that are used for greenways to keep cars out. This will also keep road chat out of the bike lane which is closer to the interstate side. I have even gone home with cuts from trucks/cars road chat hitting me while riding.

Uncomfortable for Novice Cyclists

Please consider building a pedestrian/bike bridge to make this segment accessible for all ages and abilities. Currently conflict with traffic traveling to/from clearview expressway and cross island parkway makes this unmanageable for all but experienced cyclists, and risky even for them.

Unsafe Crossing

10/23/2024 - 11:36

The crossing in this intersection feels dangerous because of the combination of factors: 1) Cars speeding up to turn right, especially when there are people in the crosswalks as they want to turn even before people start crossing the street, 2) Cars coming in and out of the two gas stations, and 3) the diner and the restaurant in this intersection. It would be very helpful if an advance light signal is given to allow pedestrians to cross safely, especially given that there is a public school nearby and a lot of school kids are in the area.

If there is a 15th Ave connector, a Greenway segment could be integrated into Frank Golden Park, providing connections to Powell's Cove and possibly to the old Airport.

There should be clear signs from LIRR stations to the Greenway system. Improved connections could boost economic development, as the business districts aren't close to the Greenway, and visitors often need food and drinks after a day of activity.

Noise Pollution

Joe Michael's Mile is a beautiful community asset, but there's a lot of noise and exhaust pollution alongside the CIP - can anything be done to improve the experience for folks?

There's an opportunity to build a bridge crossing the creek here. This would allow access behind the NYPD/FDNY training facilities (so as not to disrupt them) and enable greenway users to circumnavigate the fort, which would more deeply integrate it into the greenway.

Difficult Turn/Crossing

Turning from the Little Bay Greenway to Fort Totten and to Joe Michael's Mile is difficult. There's a desire line there, let's formalize it.

Redesigning this intersection, making it modern and accessible to everyone, would allow the construction of a greenway for runners, walkers, and bikers from Utopia to 149th.
