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.

UNSAFE CROSSING between 77th st to the St Michael Cenetery and Q19 stop! Please fix here in East Elmhurst!
This intersection is so dangerous for pedestrians here in East Elmhurst. LIKE ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS.
Improve pedestrian access in this part. it’s really dangerous, especially for those trying to traverse north to south or for q19 bus.
Bulova Park in East Elmhurst is a nice local park on the pathway. This area has a lot of history since it was a site for Bulova Corporate Company and prior to that, Holmes Airport , which closed after LGA opened.
Please make this sidewalk access safer along Astoria Blvd South. the path between 77th st to the overpass pedestrian bridge is really dangerous and NARROW . it better connects pedestrians going from East Elmhurst to Astoria Heights.
East Elmhurst’s Landing Lights area is a true hidden gem because of its unique location as a landing path to LaGuardia Airport. This is an area in East Elmhurst worth highlighting on park guides.
Bike path needs to be fully protected (with green paint) on Vernon Boulevard in front of Queensbridge park so it connects to Vernon Boulevard protected bike lanes to the north and south of the Queensborough Bridge
It feels unsafe for pedestrians here, because the otherwise excellent Vernon Blvd bike lane has disappears for this two block stretch, and most bikes go on the sidewalk. Dangerous for pedestrians.
This little two block stretch in front of Queensbridge Park seems to be self-undermining. The city built a beautiful, well-used bike lane here, from Rainey Park to the Pulaski Bridge. I bike to work (from Astoria to Greenpoint) every morning on a bike, after dropping our two daughters off at school (on the bike). I LOVE my daily commute. Most of my route is on protected bike lanes, but one part is a little dicey: On Vernon Blvd, on the two blocks in front of Queensbridge Park, the protected bike lane vanishes. Most people, I observe (myself included) bike on the sidewalk. Biking on the street is dangerous (there’s no shoulder, and cars on Vernon drive fast). It’s a shame that the otherwise excellent bike path is missing on these two blocks. It limits the benefit of the bike lane (e.g. imagine if an interstate highway had an inexplicable 100 yards of dirt road in the middle).
Echoing the other comment that a bike lane should be placed here to connect utopia parkway to Little Bay Park Path. Even adding it on to the sidewalk is fine as that would at least allow bikers to more freely use the sidewalk without fear of police action/ticket.
