Somehow ended up on this tiktok that has an update on the 31st bike lanes. So much ignorance in the comments. Also why does it matter that this is a truck route?
What is the update on the Flushing West development?
My hot take is that people do not travel and see what is outside the realm of their life and due to this do not realize bike lanes, bus lanes, etc are better for a city. So many developed or developing countries have figured this out and if we see what they’ve done then we could realize we can apply it here too.
OR
They have travelled and realize there are differences but are unwilling to deal with changes that will change their life but make life better in the long run.
I’ve gone travelled a lot and Paris amazes me at what they’ve done and how built out their bike network is. I’ve also gone to India multiple times and everytime there’s something new. In like 10 years time they have a functioning BRT, new metro, and a HSR under construction.
Farmers took the money the HSR gave them and were so happy they are getting HSR. The entire city is so excited for all these changes.
We are capable of change.
Gotham FC in talks to move to NYC.
It feels like Long Island lacks downtowns, there are some but not many historic ones? or am I wrong? Also why doesn’t Jones Beach have a downtown? If you don’t bring food, you’re SOOL.
The points should be decided anonymously. AND THEN GIVEN OUT IN THE OPEN. All the talking and choosing in the open does not give good drama.
Why don't they remove the Little Neck LIRR grade crossing? Only one left in Queens and as someone who uses the station, it's pretty busy.
I hope the IBX is so popular that Jackson Heights gets overwhelmed and they have to build a new subway expansion. I hope it’s so popular that the Flatbush Ave station Brooklyn College gets so busy they have to build the Utica Ave subway line. That’s all :)
Would be a welcome addition to the system especially because it would be on the cheaper side and give Port Washington LIRR access to the Queens Blvd line and vice versa. I could see a high transfer as more people have moved deeper into Queens. Also could allow for more density along Northern blvd/LIRR corridor in Northeast Queens if able to serve as a regional rail.

I’m from NYC and I’ll go first. The Second Avenue Subway, been talked about for ages and would relieve the Lexington Avenue Line. Once built at least up to phase 3, would allow a new service to run to Queens and give Queens East Side North-South access.
When will the completed 165th Street/Jamaica Bus Terminal open? What is the plan for that site? I heard an outside developer is building on it. Any info ?
Any reason there were like 0 subway expansion ideas in Queens? Multiple in Brooklyn were studied and Brooklyn is way better served by the subway. Queens is just shy of Brooklyn in population. Any insight?
What do you think actually can get built in the next 50 years?
