The Conduit, a residential highway connecting Atlantic Avenue to JFK Airport, is set to undergo a major safety overhaul due to troubling accident statistics, including five fatalities within the last five years. The Department of Transportation noted the need for improvement, as the corridor lacks adequate pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure amidst high-speed traffic. Local officials have called for urgent changes to address these safety concerns and are seeking community input for a future safety project, with the aim to make the Conduit safer for all users.
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards emphasized the importance of redesigning the Conduit for better safety, noting it currently doesn't meet the requirements for drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians.
The Department of Transportation announced plans to collect community input on necessary safety improvements for the Conduit, highlighting a focus on addressing pedestrian and cyclist concerns.
