Massive improvement on the Manhattan side!
Streetsblog reports that Manhattan CB6 approved Astoriabike’s 2010 plan (# 2) for the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge!

The bike lanes through Queensplaza from Queens Blvd are starting to take shape. Very exciting! I’m still not clear how exactly you’re supposed to exit the bridge and head east. But I’ll assume they’re doing something logical and not leaving the long bike-the-wrong-way-against-traffic section heading east off the bridge.
Horrible bridge access is the weak link for any Queens to Manhattan commute. Improvements here would be the best way to positively impact and improve the commute for a large number of riders. Best of all, it can be done with very little money and no (God forbid) hindrance to motorists. It just takes will.…
