Iriving, Knickerbocker, Jefferson and Hancock are slated for new bike lanes, according to the DOT.

Shore Blvd. will become one-way under the plan, which will also narrow 20th Ave. and Hoyt Ave. North.

The proposal would also shorten the sidewalk across the street and lengthen the roadway by four feet.

The former "Boulevard of Death" will get fixes between Roosevelt and Jamaica avenues.

Police arrested a driver and are looking for another, the NYPD said.

Mayor de Blasio allocated nearly $30 million this year to reconstruct streets in Hunters Point and LIC.

NYPD Inspector Dennis Fulton told Nicodemus' brother that he expected additional charges in the case.

The new DOT plan would also limit a turn at Utica Avenue, one of the borough's most dangerous crossings.

The mayor has announced his intent to expand the areas where speed cameras can be used.

Poor lighting and traffic light signal timing need to be improved at the intersection, police said.

The change is one of a number proposed by the city to improve traffic safety in and around Astoria Park.

Traffic deaths are down, but not by a significant enough percentage, advocates said.

The cameras, which are run by the state, are currently only activated when school is in session. 

The city will spend $115 million this year on additional traffic calming measures, the mayor said.

Mayor Bill de Blasio has hailed his Vision Zero safety plan with reducing fatalities citywide.
