  • KML is from Wikidata Kissena Boulevard is a thoroughfare spanning the Flushing and Pomonok neighborhoods of the borough of Queens in New York City, extending from Main Street in the Flushing Chinatown to Parsons Boulevard in Kew Gardens Hills. The road's name is derived from Kissena Lake, a name given by 19th century horticulturist Samuel Bowne Parsons for the Chippewa word meaning, "it is cold". The lake is located in Kissena Park. The road is one of the oldest in Queens, a 4-mile path connecting the colonial settlements of Flushing and Jamaica, known originally as the "Road to Jamaica" and later Jamaica Avenue. After Queens was consolidated into the City of New York in 1898, the undeveloped sections of the borough were subdivided into a street grid. The section of the Road to Jamaica below 75th Avenue was absorbed into Parsons Boulevard and much of the north-south traffic between Flushing and Jamaica was taken by newly created Main Street. Kissena Boulevard serves as a diagonal route connecting Main Street with Parsons Boulevard. The boulevard is only 2 lanes wide for the majority of its run, but becomes 4 lanes wide with a median divider between the Long Island Expressway (LIE) and 71st Avenue. Additionally, Queens College borders the boulevard to the west, south of the LIE. A branch of the Queens Library is also on Kissena Boulevard. In the 2020s, Downtown Flushing is undergoing rapid gentrification by Chinese transnational entities. (en)
  • 凯辛娜大道（Kissena Boulevard）是纽约市皇后区中心地带的大道，从法拉盛华埠延伸至Kew Gardens Hills帕森大道。十九世纪园艺师山姆·邦恩·帕森依照齐佩瓦语命名凯辛娜湖，即“好冷”，道路得名于此。该湖位于凯辛娜公园。 这条路段是皇后区最古老的街道之一，最初总长4英里，连接殖民时期的法拉盛和牙买加区，被称为“牙买加之路”，后为牙买加街。1898年皇后区并入纽约市后，开发中的社区进一步依照街区定格。75街以下的牙买加之路并入帕森大道，法拉盛和牙买加之间南北相向的路段被划为新的缅街。凯辛娜大道成为对角连接缅街和帕森大道的斜街。大部分路段为2车道宽，在长岛高速和71街之间变为4车道。此外，皇后大学在街的西侧，长岛高速以南。 街道上有凯辛娜公园、皇后大学、Pomonok Houses。皇后图书馆分馆也在凯辛娜大道上。 (zh)
