Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced that the city will restart the process to redesign 31st Street in Astoria one month after a Queens judge ordered the Department of Transportation to halt plans for a protected bike lane along a one-mile stretch of the street.
Mamdani announced the move on Jan. 7, describing 31st Street as one of the most dangerous corridors in Queens. He said the decision to restart the redesign process and comply with a ruling issued by Queens Supreme Court Judge Chereé Buggs represented the “fastest path” to delivering “critical safety upgrades” along the corridor.
