We are a group of volunteers who joined forces on an initiative to request more bike lanes in Queens. Our initial focus is to create a network of bike lanes connecting small parks in Jackson Heights and connecting our area to surrounding neighborhoods.

Park access Jackson Heights ranks near the bottom among all New York City neighborhoods in park space. A network of bike lanes connecting the small parks that exist could help mitigate the problem.

We need your helpWe want to connect to bike riders and mobility planners who can help us create a strong proposal to present to the city. Also, experienced activists who can advise and work to get this idea in motion.

If you’d like to help us, email qnsbike@gmail.comhttp://facebook.com/qnsbikewww.qns.bikehttp://twitter.com/qnsbike

Note: Envisioning maps show possible routes. Final routes would be determined by New York City’s Department of Transportation.

Cut travel time in half, with zero emissionsBike lanes could cut travel time and improve life quality for hundreds of thousands of Queens residents, from Astoria to Flushing. It doesn’t pollute and it’s a healthy habit.

We just need to make it safe and spread the wordIt is important that as many of these lanes as possible are physically protected, to encourage use by children and inexperienced riders.
