The Queensboro Bridge shared use pedestrian/bike path is already over-crowded. It's LOS is D between 7 and 8am and F between 8 and 9am. There's been an effort to separate the pedestrians and bikes onto separate paths. This would vastly improve the LOS. Much has been made of that most Amazon workers would be reverse commuters - from Manhattan to Queens. This would be a disaster for the current shared use path. The Amazons would be salmoning, making the LOS even worse because it depends on the directional mix. Anything that alters the east-west percentage closer to 50-50 will increase directional conflicts.
