Community Board Six Calls for Total Redesign of Queens Boulevard

Last week, Community Board Six passed a resolution calling for the complete redesign of Queens Boulevard. As Streetsblog reports, “The board is the first along the infamous ‘Boulevard of Death’ to request the study, joining a united front of City Council members.” You can see the resolution [PDF] — which calls for a comprehensive study on the feasibility of a redesign that involves CB6 — here.

Make Queens Safer and Transportation Alternatives started talking with CB6 about the resolution last month, and then presented one to the full board on May 14th. According to Streetsblog, “Advocates are building support in part because they don’t want DOT to lose sight of Queens Boulevard while other dangerous streets get improvements,” like Northern Boulevard. On top of the resolution, there is a petition calling for Queens Boulevard safety improvements with more than 3,500 signatures.
