8/1/08 Congressman Weiner, According to the Department of Motor Vehicles cars on Queens Boulevard struck and hurt an average of 100 pedestrians and bicyclists a year from 2000 to 2005. Queens Boulevard is known to be the Boulevard of Death. Fifteen pedestrians were killed in 1998 alone. Although Pedestrian fatalities are down to about one a year, this past February my friend, Asif Rahman, was killed on the boulevard riding his bike. In effort to keep pedestrians safe, my friends and I are demanding a bike route. Rebecca Murphy

RIP Asif. Way too many people lost on this road. Put the paint down and give us some space.

Ridiculous that people are still getting killed here. My friend got clipped last year just trying to get to work. We need this lane now.

I ride to the subway every day and feel like I am taking my life in my hands. A lane would change everything for us.

So scary to bike on that street. I avoid it like the plague but sometimes you have no choice. Fix it.
