Queens Plaza Dutch Kills Green - Margie Ruddick
Queens Plaza, the street approaching the Queensboro Bridge, was transformed from a concrete, auto-centric wasteland into an 'urban green machine' in 2011. The department of transportation added a two way protected bike lane, ample pedestrian space and a greenspace for stormwater protection. Image by Margie Ruddick.
