Looks like we’ll finally get the overnight *full bikeway* markings we’ve been 👀 for since spring #morespaceQBB #bikenyc (more pedestrians in the bikeway today)
Sign over West Street near Hubert.
#MorespaceQBB
Green sign with arrow in a flowerbed saying “new pedestrian path” next to a green bike lane
We did it! Many years of activism came to fruition today as the #MoreSpaceQBB south outer roadway was finally repurposed as a pedestrian-only path. People can now walk and jog across safely. You can even walk side-by-side!!
Big news for cyclists and pedestrians in Queens! qns.com/2025/05/quee... #MoreSpaceQBB
Five people (2 bikes and 3 walking) on a path with white stripe and grey railing under a bridge
Five (six if you include me) commuters smooshed into a tight, four-lane space with no room to safely pass, one false move and everyone gets bloodied and injuried…while the South Outer Roadway was *empty* as usual. NYC Mayor, you will never live this down. #MoreSpaceQBB
This is Streetsblog: We are live @transalt.org rally for #morespaceqbb with the great @cmjuliewon.bsky.social and @sengianaris.bsky.social
Picture showing a portion of the Court of Appeals decision in Turturro v. City of New York, discussing a municipality’s potential liability for road safety with the following portion highlighted: "an unjustifiable delay in implementing [a remedial] plan constitutes a breach of the municipality's duty to the public just as surely as if it had totally failed to study the known condition in the first instance" (Friedman, 67 NY2d at 286).
@nyc-dot.bsky.social has long known of the dangers on the #QBB NOR & finally after many years, crashes & injuries, designed a plan to improve safety by opening the SOR to create #MoreSpaceQBB. But it is now inexplicably delaying that implementation & exposing the City to liability.
Good video by Miser on why the #MoreSpaceQBB pedestrian lanes in #bikeNYC may have been delayed again

Can we now please get rid of the cars on the south sidewalk of the Queensboro bridge, and put the pedestrians there, and give bikes adequate space on the north sidepath?
Please?

Idk what this means, but today there was a big crew of workers on the #MoreSpaceQBB fixing stuff, and I smelled paint? They seem busier than usual. So maybe they’re almost done with the decking project that allegedly is responsible for the delay opening up the SOR…?
Voting for whoever will open the South Outer Roadway on the #MoreSpaceQBB and prohibit speeding mopeds in bike lanes

Reupping this due to late night deep thoughts on how Adams & other mayors have successfully blocked #MoreSpaceQBB for so long DESPITE local electeds (state & city) supporting it. The mayor is ridiculously powerful. NYC desperately needs better mayors.

Interviews with state senators Zohran Mamdani & Jessica Ramos & council member Julie Won at the rally/march today on the need to finally deliver the long-stalled pedestrian lane on the Queensboro Bridge.
#MoreSpaceQBB
NYC DOT needs to stop delaying the opening of the Queens Borough Bridge South Outer Roadway and open it to pedestrians now. Squeezing everyone into the NOR is increasingly dangerous! #MoreSpaceQBB
On my way to the #MoreSpaceQBB march, I witnessed a guy on an e-bike make an unsafe pass (passed on the right, for no reason— he could have waited till it was clear) almost smash into a guy jogging. The narrow shared path is egregiously dangerous. We need more space!!

The Queensboro bridge bike-ped path has been stupidly dangerous for a long time. Pedestrians are supposed to get the south outer roadway but it keeps getting delayed. Rally and march for #MoreSpaceQBB THIS SUNDAY 10/13 at 11 AM, E 59th St btw 1st & 2nd Ave
More space for pedestrians and bike riders on the #QueensboroBridge has been delayed....again.
Join us this Sunday for a rally to demand more space NOW!
#MoreSpaceQBB
Our advocacy continues 🌉
The Queensboro Bridge South Outer Walkway was supposed to open by now, but the city has delayed it again — this time until winter.
Join us on Sunday with @CMJulieWon, @ZohranKMamdani and others to demand #MoreSpaceQBB!
The changing of the South Outer Roadway of the Queensboro Bridge from a car lane to a pedestrian lane is needed to clear the bike lane and make the QBB safer for both.
#MoreSpaceQBB
Please join us in pushing for this to be done now.
