1 200 mile bicycle network to add more routes in Queens

The mayor's office announced more bike lanes in NYC to expand from the current 1,200 mile bicycle network for 2019.

This is in collaboration with NYC Dept of Transportation after reporting of decline of cyclist fatalities to a record low.

Compared to 24 deaths in 2017, there were 10 cyclist deaths in 2018. The average death was 19 when Vision Zero was launched in 2014.

These are the new routes to be added in 2019 for Queens. 73 Ave/233 Street (Alley Pond Park to Horace Harding Expw) for 1.8 miles.

43rd Ave/ Skillman Ave (Queens Blvd Br. to Roosevelt Ave) for 2.6 miles and expansion on Jewel Avenue.
