Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat Nov 15 19:31:22 2014, in response to Queens Blvd speed limit will be 25 mph by the end of this year, posted by Gold_12th on Fri Nov 14 23:59:16 2014. It's difficult to notice that Queens Blv is changing, while speeding along it at 40+ mph. Several new tall buildings have appeared within the past few years. Many more are on the drawing board.Developers have set their cross-hairs on the stretch between Roosevelt Ave and the LIE. The Queens Blv frontage is relatively unpopulated. You can expect to see it transformed to high density development complete with street shops within the next five to ten years. The new residents will not want to play dodge ball with speeding cars on Queens Blv. They will not want to walk 1/4 mile to cross Queens Blv either. Queens Blv's days as a pseudo limited access highway are numbered. So is its speed limit. It's going to become a street for residents and shoppers. P.S. these new residents and shoppers will contribute more taxes than cars and trucks speeding to Nassau and Suffolk Counties. |
