Why is the Q23 the 'slowest bus in Queens?'

It should be obvious.

(Picture: #FixAustinStreet + 71st Ave, a single car is blocking the whole bus from turning, which is making the bus also block pedestrians during the pedestrian scramble phase)

We're happy to see #SammysLaw be included in the NYS budget. Lower speeds save lives, but a sign with a number is not enough.

NYC DOT must continue redesigning streets with safety, especially for pedestrians, as the main priority!

I'm unfamiliar with the Ridgewood Reservoir (never been), but I got an email about Ridgewood Rides wanting a better connection to it on Cypress and Vermont.

This is what Google Streets View shows. Tell me how bikers are 'privileged.'

You don't have to look at other countries. Newark St is a great local example of what happens when you build for people!

Let's #FixAustinSteet !

businesses on Neighbors for a Safer Austin Street, can we talk. This is such a wonderful adjustment

It's easy to blame the truck, but ask yourself: how many people are served by the bus and truck, vs the cheap parking on the curb that's blocking the truck?

There's limited space on #FixAustinStreet . It should prioritize the many!

Our neighborhood is filled with young parents, many attracted to the abundance of parks and large inventory of 2bd+ apts.

These are the neighborhood's future, and they're avoiding walking through our downtown.

This isn't economically sustainable. We must #FixAustinStreet .

Safe streets are better for businesses. So why do some business owners continue to fight it?

Let's stop ignoring the data and #FixAustinStreet , for EVERYONE'S sake!

Great to see neighbors & friends tonight at Queens Borough President Donovan Richards' Central Queens Town Hall for Community Board 6 & Community Board 9 constituents!

MacDonald Park now has some bike parking! Right outside of TJs.

Thank you Friends of MacDonald Park for pushing for this!

We're sad to not see #FixAustinStreet as one of the upcoming projects NYC DOT. Hopefully, this isn't an exhaustive list.

Either way, we'll continue to advocate until we have a Safer, Better Austin St!

I was planning on getting a Kung Fu Tea NYC on Austin St. But I left because the 70th Ave was again gridlock, causing drivers to honk and wake up and upset my infant son.

That's a lost sale, by no fault of their own.

Remember this when talking about businesses closing on Austin

Yup, the status quo of a noisy, car-polluted Austin Street is killing retail business & allowing the landlords to shift to medical suite tenants who pay more. If we're to save it we need a more pedestrian friendly Austin St. NYC DOT Neighbors for a Safer Austin Street Lynn Schulman 舒曼琳 Queens Borough President Donovan Richards

This is sad to hear. Austin Street is in decline.

We must rethink it before it's too late. At this rate we will lose our lovely downtown.

On my home I noticed that the Boston Market on Austin / Continental is gone. we have another vacant store front that WASNT caused by a pedestrianization proj. Let’s put that ridiculous claim that prioritizing pedestrian safety and comfort is shutting down businesses to bed

Exactly. The status quo, which is a hostile car-dominated and dangerous street, is killing our local businesses. Make Austin Street a real destination for people, one they want to spend time in, rather than a congested mess. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Lynn Schulman 舒曼琳 NYC DOT
