me: *sitting outside on austin st at a restaurant*
driver [in parked car 10ft away]: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK
me: *glares at driver*
driver: *shrugs and motions to an illegally parked driver in front of them*
me: *glares and motions to JUST FUCKING MOVE AROUND THEM YOU DICKWEED*
driver: *pulls around them and gets honked at by some other impatient fuckwit*
Anyways, #BanCars on #AustinSt in #ForestHills #NYC. These people are too fucking stupid to operate heavy machinery on this street.

Still blows my mind that people want to keep #AustinSt (#Queens) as it currently is. Went out there for vday, when it should be hopping. Just honking cars not going anywhere. Places weren't empty, but they also weren't full, because it sucks to walk and it suck to bike and it sucks to drive and it just sucks. #BanCars

.@nasas is looking for volunteers to staff a one block #OpenStreet on Austin St on weekends, if anyone's interested.. No specifics yet since they're still doing the application, but let 'em know if you'd be into it. #AustinSt #CentralQueens #SafeStreetsNYC

Pretty nice of Austin St business owners to let us know which businesses not to frequent. https://www.nyc.gov/assets/queenscb6/pdf/2023/Final-CB-6-Minutes-April-4-2023.pdf
[Note: there is no plan to remove parking from #AustinSt ; the Forest Hills Chamber of Commerce just got everyone worked up over a request for a *study* to look at different options to improve walkability on the street. But hey, business owners gotta drive in from Long Island, right? If only there was a Rail Road that ran from Long Island... Maybe call it the RRLI or something?]

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.

Man, #AustinSt in #ForestHills is way overdue for bike parking. #BikeNYC

So. On #AustinSt today (#ForestHills, #Queens), #NYC_DOT was out collecting feedback about problems w/ Austin St. I chatted with them and filled out the survey (it's available online here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AUSTINST?sm=GtO_2Bf11zXyuabB8CYM898ZEPgD4HDWITW1j_2FxCOyGiI_3D ).
When the lady saw that I had arrived by bike, she gave me this card and said, "Show this to NYPD if they try to ticket you for using the leading pedestrian interval*. It's legal, and this has the law at the bottom." I was like, "why don't you tell NYPD instead of me?"

Good stuff. #ASaferAustinStreet mapped out the sidewalks on #AustinSt in #ForestHills, and the results were as bad as you were expecting. A very busy business district with sidewalk widths as small as 3ft.

Just ordered some stickers. 😀
(It's no @qag #DurkanSpeedway design, but I like it nonetheless. Alex Weller from https://www.asaferaustinstreet.com/ created the design.)
