Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sun Nov 16 10:15:28 2014, in response to Re: Queens Blvd speed limit will be 25 mph by the end of this year, posted by New Flyer #857 on Sun Nov 16 09:50:28 2014. Don't there already exist stoplights on Queens Blvd that are meant exclusively to accommodate pedestrians (no cross-vehicle traffic)?Only about every other block on average. That's in the Rego Park to Kew Gardens area. The railings that are designed to prevent pedestrians from crossing mid-block extend through these non-intersections. If population / activity grows on the more dormant stretches near Woodside, all that will mean is that those stretches look the way the Forest Hills stretch (approximately Yellowstone Blvd to Union Tpke) does now. The mere presence of pedestrian activity has not slowed down cars between Elmhurst and Kew Gardens. NYC will have to tame all of Queens Blv, if it hopes to derive money from new buildings in the under-developed sections. |
