Ha! It's 3 yrs. behind schedule but better late than never, I guess.

The NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) has started work on the fourth and final phase of the Queens Boulevard redesign project, the agency announced Thursday.
Crews have begun installing protected bike lanes, a pedestrian path and other traffic safety features along Queens Boulevard from Yellowstone Boulevard to Union Turnpike as part of Phase 4.
The work has faced continuous setbacks due to the pandemic and earlier resistance from the local community board and Council Member Karen Koslowitz.
The board and Koslowitz expressed reservations about the plan—since the project will result in the loss of about 200 parking spots. They fear that the loss of parking spaces will hurt businesses located along and near the boulevard.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in May that the DOT would complete the final phase of the redesign in November — which is about three years behind schedule.
