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.

Tallman Island is a DEP facility, working with DEP, the team could propose a way to connect both adjacent greenspaces
Closing this section of the service road creates the opportunity to run a greenway alongside the CIP
Queens Block 4148 Lot 7499 has no owner listed, which usually indicates that it belongs to the city. If so, this could be used for a pedestrian and bike bridge that crosses the expressway here.
132nd St Extension could be a greenway segment connecting College Point Fields to Frank Golden Park
25th Ave is wider; thus, you can build a connector from College Point Blvd to College Point Fields here. From there a greenway is possible alongside the park or through the park to the 132nd St Extension
Speed limit is 25mph, however due to road design, cars easily reach 40mph here, and aggressively drive to reach their exits for the expressways/Corona. Physical safety features are an absolute must for this area.
Expanding the work DOT has done on 34th Ave further east into Corona to FMCP would give Jack Height and Corona residents an easier and safer route to the central segment of the Greenway.
Broadway is a direct connection between Elmhurst and Astoria. Adding a bike lane here would help connect these neighborhoods, and with Queens Blvd, the ones further east. This would be a great way for people in Central Queens to access the western end of the Greenway more directly.
108th is the most direct route connecting Rego Park/Forest Hills to Corona. Not only would a protected bike lane here help connect to the waterfront, but it would also help connect these three neighborhoods, leading to more commercial activity in both. It would also help connect two areas of different wealth levels, which will help all of Queens.
No public bike parking for the mall
