If you have a opportunity to make it wider then go for. Because eventually if the Democrats and environmentist plans come to reality we all are going to be all electric in the future. So you can have your earth saving benefits well also being realistic about the fact that traffic is going to always happen hence why the BQE should be wider.

Underrated comment. The electrified future is fast coming; 10% of new cars sold last year were electric. Grid is switching to renewables with battery storage. Cars aren’t going anywhere as much as some militant f*** car advocates wish they would.

Well apparently from the downvotes I'm getting most people on this subreddit think the world's going to be a bicycle one.

We need it all: highways, better subways, bike lanes and great pedestrian space. The new BQE is a 50 year investment. Crippling the major artery of queens and Brooklyn with two lanes in a metropolis of 20m is asinine.
