Community Board reviewing new proposals for Queens Blvd

Queens Blvd from Union Turnpike to Jamaica Avenue has new proposals with more features from bike lanes to whatever can think of. The plan was presented to the community board on May 24.

The 1.2 mile long stretch has the following three proposals,

Repurpose a travel lane from Queens Boulevard and add a Protected Bike Lane to the median to reduce speeding and provide a safe bike connection.

Install dedicated left turn signals for left turns off Queens Blvd to reduce conflicts between drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Add painted median tips and channelization where feasible to provide additional pedestrian refuge space, encourage slower, safer turns, and visually tighten intersections.
