LIC community groups fight for improved bicycle lanes on Vernon Blvd

Bike Lane at Queenswest

After installing new bike racks on Jackson Ave, it seems bicyclists in LIC and western Queens in general, still have a few hurdles to overcome in improving the bike lane situation. Streetsblog reports:

“Last month, DOT striped buffered bike lanes on Vernon Blvd, part of a package of safety improvements for the north-south corridor that parallels the western Queens waterfront PDF. Bike facilities are scarce in this part of the city, and the addition of the new lanes, which eliminated a lane of parking along parts of the route, has not come without opposition from the local community boards, CB1 and CB2.
