Good stuff. #ASaferAustinStreet mapped out the sidewalks on #AustinSt in #ForestHills, and the results were as bad as you were expecting. A very busy business district with sidewalk widths as small as 3ft.

Heat island effect in #ForestHills.

87F vs 91F, a mere 2-3 blocks away. A place with trees and grass, versus a place with mostly asphalt and cars.

@kristenrapp @mdruker It's also only 9'7" tall. That would solve a lot of problems here in #ForestHills, with for example the Q23 taking a longer route due to not being able to clear some low (10'5") bridges.

damn, that was a lot of cop cars (and a chopper)

Sigh.

Pros: get rid of some slip lanes, adds some needed sidewalks.
Cons: actually widens Union Tpke (2 -> 3 lanes), drops a crossing island so you have to cross two lanes at a time instead of one.

Heh. There I was biking on the narrow sidewalk on 69th Rd where it's uphill and multiple vehicle lanes in one direction and there's no bike lane, and coming in the other direction on the sidewalk was someone else on a bike.

Ridiculous that #NYC hasn't put a bike lane there.

Okay, where can I buy a #Tofurkey near #ForestHills in #Queens or in Manhattan? I didn't have one last year and I was sad, they're tasty.

Stop & Shop is the only place near me that's listed on their website, and that's on an unwalkable Union Tpke. There's gotta be some mom & pop grocers that carry them?

If #ForestHills had #BikeShare, I'd happily use it instead of my own personal #bike. My personal (non-cargo) bike gets used about once per month, so the tires are always under inflated when I need it.

Alas, no plans for #expansion despite there being an obvious path along the #QueensBlvdPBL.
