The Queens Ribbon
The Queens Ribbon The proposed “Queens Ribbon” a bicycle-pedestrian bridge connecting Queens to Manhattan (rendering by T.Y. Lin International). A plan for three new car-free bridges to Manhattan’s Business District from Queens, Brooklyn, and New Jersey June 24, 2020 Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Background 3. The Need for Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridges 4. Three New Bridges – Alignment Options 5. Queens-Roosevelt Island-Midtown Manhattan Ribbon Bridge Case Study 6. Conclusion Appendices A. Worldwide Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridges B. Bicycling Growth in New York City C. Level of Service on East River Bridges D. Our Team 2 1. Introduction At the start of the Covid-19 crisis a group of transportation engineers began working together, on a pro bono basis, to develop a transportation system that would provide an almost risk-free method of travel to Manhattan’s Central Business District (CBD – Manhattan south of Central Park). The impetus for this grouping was the realization that the city may face similar epidemics, a severe flu season, or other man-made or natural disasters in the future. Experience told the group that the two forms of transportation that are most risk-free from both infections and crashes are walking and bicycling. These “active transportation” options are also healthy modes that burn calories, and build muscle, bone, heart, and lung strength while improving mental and emotional health. From this discussion, the idea of a bicycle-pedestrian bridge was born. Importantly, these facilities would be equitable. Costs to use them would be a pair of shoes or a bicycle. The group included teams from the Institute of Design & Each bridge could handle Construction (IDC) Innovation Hub of the NYU Tandon School approximately 20,000 people of Engineering, T.Y. -
