Jamaica Pathways

Jamaica Pathways is a system of enhanced pedestrian routes designed to create a safe and attractive environment to encourage visitors to leave their cars and explore Downtown Jamaica on foot. The first three Pathways, now open on Sutphin Boulevard, 159 th Street and 160 th Street, connect downtown street sections to transit or parking facilities. The project provides pedestrian amenities like special sidewalk surfaces, lighting, path finding information, trees, landscaping, and coordinated graphics. Jamaica Pathways will be expanded to connect other streets in the community in the near future.
