Queens Plaza
A renovation of Queens Plaza is expected to begin in early 2007 with a projected construction period of 18 months. The project has been designed by the Department of City Planning (DCP) and will be managed, during construction, by the city's Economic Development Corporation. Initial designs include plans is to realign traffic lanes and entire streets in order to achieve several goals: make automobile traffic smoother, encourage alternate means of transport, like biking, walking, buses and subways, and to create new green space. The rough boundaries of the $22 million project will be the East River, Queens Plaza North, Queens Plaza South, and Queens Plaza East. It will include new bike lanes, landscaping, public art, lighting, crosswalks, street furniture, directional signs, and artistic banners. The parking spaces at the JFK commuter triangle will be relocated to the municipal garage (a location across Hunter Street that itself may soon be developed into a skyscraper on top of a parking garage) and will be replaced further to the north (after all the traffic patterns are redirected) by what DCP is tentatively calling JFK Park.
