Dec 10 - A Queens judge ordered DOT to halt a protected bike lane on Astoria’s 31st Street. Advocates staged a protest ride and die-in. DOT recorded nearly 200 injuries, two deaths and 11 serious injuries on the corridor over five years.

""This ruling is profoundly disappointing and deeply dangerous for our community."" -- Jessica González-Rojas

Matter: no bill number — Queens Supreme Court ruling. Status: judge ordered DOT to halt plans and remove an installed section. Committee: none. Key dates: Dec. 5, 2025 ruling; Dec. 9 protest ride and die-in; Dec. 10 coverage. The court is quoted as "ordering the Department of Transportation to halt plans for a protected bike lane along 31st Street." Council Member Tiffany Cabán joined Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets at the protest and said the ruling "puts lives at risk" and that "This project would save lives." Safety analysts say halting the lane "blocks a proven crash-reducing intervention, discourages cycling, and delays equitable street access improvements for vulnerable users on 31st Street." No council vote or committee action recorded.
