The lack of any "after hours" lighting along the Jamaica Bay Greenway bike path from the Marine Parkway Bridge to the Belt Parkway and Shore Parkway poses a serious danger for any cyclist or pedestrian. It creates not only a desolate environment, but hazardous riding conditions for cyclists and pedestrians who are unable to visually see any clear path or signage. 

Further, the NYC DOT, along with the Regional Plan Association, the National Parks Service are releasing the Jamaica Bay Implementation Plan this fall. Let's ensure this plan includes adequate path lighting that will create a safe environment for all cyclists and pedestrians while connecting the beautiful and unique parks, wetlands, and beaches surrounding Jamaica Bay.

Please sign this petition and urge the NYC Parks Department to install lighting along the Jamaica Bay Greenway bike path from the Marine Parkway Bridge into Howard Beach, Queens.  

Thank you for your support.
