ASTORIA – New York City Council Member Costa Constantinides, District 22, issued the following statement on May 13 in response to Mayor de Blasio's announcement that work would begin to build a protected bike lane along Crescent Street.
"Though Crescent Street deserved this protected bike lane long before this pandemic shut down New York City, I am thrilled to see its construction finally begin. Going to work shouldn't be a daily life-or-death scenario, but sadly it too often is. Those who can cycle deserve a safe north-to-south route, from the Triboro Bridge to the Queensboro Bridge. My office is ready to work with the Department of Transportation to get this right, especially as later phases move north and interact with Mt. Sinai Queens. I hope this is just the first step in creating a holistic transit network for western Queens."
