The Transformation of Queens Boulevard, Block By Block from STREETFILMS on Vimeo.
Jan. 27, 2016 Staff Report
A block-by-block video that details all the changes made to Queens Blvd since last summer has been released.
Ryan Russo, the Deputy Commissioner for the New York City Department of Transportation, discusses the agency’s goal to redo the entire 7-mile Queens Blvd stretch, which it has broken down into three phases.
The video focuses on those changes that have already taken place on Queens Blvd between Roosevelt Ave. and 73rd St, which represents phase 1.
At a press conference last week, Mayor de Blasio said that there were no fatalities on Queens Blvd in 2015, the first time in a quarter century.
The mayor attributes this to Vision Zero.
