This Week: Amsterdam Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Queens Boulevard

DOT has reportedly modified plans for an Amsterdam Avenue road diet north of 110th Street. On Thursday the project will be presented to CB 9 for the second time. Images: DOT

In March, DOT presented a plan for an Amsterdam Avenue road diet with painted bike lanes to the Manhattan Community Board 9 transportation committee. The project would stripe bike lanes from 113th Street to 162nd Street, defining space for bicycling but not adding physical protection.

We got word that DOT made changes to the project after it was presented in March, possibly in response to negative feedback from CB 9. You can weigh in when DOT brings the plan back to CB 9 on Thursday.

Two other big street redesign projects are on the calendar: On Wednesday, Queens Community Board 6 will take up the Rego Park phase of DOT's Queens Boulevard redesign, and on Thursday, DOT goes to Sunset Park for the second workshop about the redesign of Fourth Avenue.

Here are this calendar week’s highlights. Check the full calendar for more info on these and other events.
