My comment wasn't really about Queens Blvd. but more referring to the fact that that the mayor can actually do something else that will make a positive impact rather than doing something with disputable impact that even a whole community board is against. Remember the biker killed by the truck in Park Slope? It's astonishing that doesn't happen more often considering that many truck drivers around the city blatantly disregard the rules about which streets they can and cannot use.
When things like this are put in place, do they usually put in provisions to test their effects over a certain period of time and ways to adjust or undo things in case the effects aren't overall positive? It seems like things that are contentious, especially within the community itself, should have something to this effect. If there isn't this kind of provision, then this would make a lot more sense if there was actually Citibike expansions slated to be in place in the same time period, but that seems pretty much impossible.
Queens blvd in some years have the highest pedestrian fatalities. I'm pretty sure it's still up there in bike and pedestrian death. Good luck biking there.

Queens Blvd is significantly safer now then it was in the 90s, in 2011 there was not a single fatality on the street, and this was when Bloomberg was mayor. Of course DeBlasio won't tell anyone that.
