Main Street and Roosevelt Ave in Flushing - My Choice for the Most Crowded Sidewalk in Queens

 

I just read this New York Times article Think N.Y.C.’s Roads Are Crowded? Good Luck on the Sidewalks.  It made me think about the intersection of Roosevelt Avenue and Main Street in downtown Flushing.  Since the #7 subway line ends there with connections to numerous bus lines, that area is so crowded with pedestrians.  A few years ago the sidewalks were widened, but street vendors took over that space.  The police chased them away, but some came back.  You never know when there are bicycle riders on the sidewalk.  I read that the police confiscated some e-bikes on the sidewalk, but they can't get every bike.

This is a consequence of city life.
