This is a grassroots movement for a bike/ped trail between eastern Brooklyn and southeastern Queens.Visit our website, or email us at [email protected].
@NYCMayor Really hope you do bring the trail to Southeast Queens! Residents in Rosedale, Laurelton and Springfield Gardens need safe access to Jamaica Bay. Last time we heard this was in 2000 and it didn’t make it very far
Here’s an indicative map from the application. $7M may not seem like a lot in infra terms, but pure planning $ can be hard to come by.
It’s hard to develop new greenway projects without the right of way planning to guide detailed engineering & construction
YES! Case in point: #CuomosDOT could build out the entire @QueensGreenway network (@MotorPkwyEast, #KissenaWay, South Queens Greenway, Waterfront & Brooklyn-Queens Greenway gaps) instead of dumping $50-85M into widening a mile of the LIE.

Councilman Holden, we’ve also been fond of a greenway to connect your slice of Queens with the broader NYC bike network. SE Queens needs SW Queens to be connected before they can be connected.
🛑Have you been calling for a speed bump or stop sign on your block?
🏫Does your child's school need a gymnasium or an updated playground?
🏥Do you want to spend less time waiting when you go to the emergency room?
@RchBrecht 🤔 I’ve heard this too! But while #BKLN and #Queens are knit together by @NYCParks Greenway system, there’s no trail linking them to (Eastern) Long Island. With #MotorPkwyEast@NYGovCuomo can link all four Long Island counties together with a trail!
We wish to say thank you as well. Protected @NYC_DOT bicycle infrastructure is good for families, good for business, good for air quality good for the future 🚲🛴@eric_ulrich@Stacey23AD@SenJoeAddabbo
I want to thank @eric_ulrich@Stacey23AD@SenJoeAddabbo calling on @NYC_DOT for protected bike lanes on Crossbay Blvd. It’s wonderful to see bipartisan support for safety. Saving lives is what’s important. @NYCMayor please instruct @NYC_DOT to implement ASAP. Lives are at stake.
We need this this to be implemented yesterday. No more waiting for the next ‘killed or seriously injured’ statistic in the 2019 @NYC_DOT Vision Zero report @NYCMayor
Once the resurfacing of Crossbay Blvd is complete @NYC_DOT needs to install a protected bike lane on this stretch. Cyclists should not be put in harms way. This could have been avoided! #VisionZero

#BikeEast Looks like a great ride accessible to residents in #EastBrooklyn. Would love for the passion to cross borough lines @eric_ulrich@RLEspinal . Enjoy the ride everyone! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Everyone is invited to the Grand Opening of Bike NY’s new Community Bike Education Center & bike fleet in Forest Park, Queens, Sat Aug 10 at 10:30 a.m.
And please register for our Learn to Ride Kids class hosted by @BobHoldenNYC & @eric_ulrich, which begins at 11 a.m.
I'm happy to announce that we have rescheduled the FREE Learn To Ride class with Councilman @eric_ulrich and @bikenewyork for Saturday, August 10, at 11:00 a.m. on Victory Field in Forest Park!
@eric_ulrich@PedestrianTom@NYC_DOT Eric, remember meeting with you - you were a nice guy. I’d love to see a protected bike lane or greenway along Conduit Avenue. If CB10 opposes a @nyc_dot plan for a protected bike lane in your district, would you ask the mayor to overrule them?
The fourth @RegionalPlan proposed a Motor Parkway Trail that utilized parts of existing trails & the Long Island Motor Parkway to create a trail from Brooklyn to Montauk. @NYGovCuomo please sign #A6413 to start the process of making this vision a reality!
Late post but please join our friends this Friday for the #a6413 expansion study celebration out by the trailhead of the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway trail @MotorPkwyEast@QueensGreenway
Please join us for a press conference with our local elected officials to let the rest of NYS know we're excited to see the Motor Parkway Trail extended to Long Island! @MotorPkwyEast RSVP & get updates here: https://t.co/7LYo6Vrjdr
