Queens, NYC, has recently enhanced its bike infrastructure with a 1.1-mile bike boulevard on 31st Avenue. This project restores public space from vehicles, prioritizing cyclists and pedestrians. The bike lane is exceptionally wide and is separated from traffic by painted buffers. Innovative modal filtering slows down vehicular traffic, making streets safer. This design features raised crosswalks and flexible bollards for enhanced visibility. Overall, the transformation supports a community-focused environment, making streets safer and promoting sustainable transportation.
