Initial response was Queens Blvd as I believe it is the most popular but I voted Northern due to its sheer length and how many different neighborhoods it runs through.

Obviously the OP hasn't been around in Queens enough. Roosevelt Ave should be the most popular street with most people going through that area, it's also very long stretches many dense neighborhoods.

Yeah, Roosevelt should have been an option, but I would still have went with Queens blvd. Roosevelt would be my 2nd, and Jamaica ave 3rd.

There is an "other" option. I wanted to add more streets but wasn't sure I can add more poll choices.

Queens Blvd is not a street that people walk on, most stretches are for cars going town to town.

Roosevelt Ave has a lot of pedestrians spanning Jackson Heights, Corona, Flushing, etc. There are more pedestrian on this ave than any other street in Queens that I can think of. Jamaica ave is very long but not as much pedestrians because many sections have higher crime and no business presence.

Initial thought was Roosevelt, but then I thought maybe the BQE.

Queens Blvd easily has just as high of a concentration of pedestrians, especially in Elmhurst, Rego Park, and Forest Hills. There's a good reason why so many pedestrians use to get hit and killed on this street, well, asides from its design of course.
