User:QueensLink

The QueensLink is one of very few north south lines in Queens, as most rail lines run east-west to Manhattan and the suburbs of Long Island. As such, the QueensLink corridor can play a critical role in improving movement, accessibility and efficiency of travel within Queens, by providing much needed integration of Queens communities, by connecting the existing east-west NYCTA and LIRR commuter lines to provide access across the city.

QueensLink will be built on the disused segment of the former Rockaway Beach Branch of the Long Island Railroad that has been lying idle since 1962. The proposal is to bring the segment, now named QueensLink back into service as part of a subway and trail project.
