Neighbors for A Safer Austin Street is a group of neighbors tired of the pedestrian safety hazards on Austin St. in Forest Hills, NY. We advocate for a redesign of the street, with pedestrian safety and comfort as the priority.
This toot brought to you by the car-disaster that is #AustinSt in #ForestHills. I was biking on 70th Rd to get to Austin St, which has angled back-in parking because hey why not? Someone was parking, so of course there was a line of 4 cars that I was passing when the driver of one of the cars starts laying on the horn impatiently as I was literally a foot away next to the car. I made the mistake of not wearing headphones. Must remember to always wear headphones when biking in NYC.
Cap'n TransitRT @kenmcld How I feel every time I see a terrible "FAQ" by a member of AASHTO that dismisses lowering speed limits without engaging with the agency's choices that undermine slower speeds https://iowadot.gov/traffic/manuals/pdf/speedlimitbrochure.pdf

Steinway's and Austin's histories are similar, two local commercial streets, plagued with dangers, and disinvested by the City for decades.
Let's finally fix these and all other commercial streets in NYC!

On Nov. 21, Mayor Eric Adams' administration announced an investment of $12 million through the Strategy for Equity and Economic Development (SEED) Fund for public realm and streetscape improvements along Steinway Street, something that was promised by the previous administration but was not implemented.
