A once bustling railroad track could be turning into a park, similar to Manhattan's "High Line." But as CBS2's Elijah Westbrook reports, some residents think the space should be used for something else.

Honestly this is a big fat L for not reactivating the Rockaway Beach into a subway line. How huge could have this been approving Queenslink. This would bring riders from Rego Park to Rockaway beach without having to take a bus. New transit connections and a boost to public district. Shame on the Mayor. Queenslink should have been chosen.

To be honest, I'll say to reactivate the line. This will help a lot of the riders living in the region have a faster commute and to remove the Rockway Shuttle, since that shuttle doesn't see high ridership and causes many delays along the A line.

We NEED QueensLink. The last thing we need is a big park, which in other parts of the city already have. QueensLink is two in one, a subway line AND park.

This abandoned rail line needs to be restored to rail service, not turned into a useless park. The High Line should have been turned into light rail service too.

Why not connect the extension to Forest Hills instead of Rego Park? First of all, the former is an express station whereas the latter is a local station. So if the former is chosen, it can connect to the layup tracks on the lower level immediately to the east of the station and allow convenient transfers whether the extension is served by local or express trains.

You're calling the Queensway a waste of money? The Queensway is needed to help allow Queens riders a faster trip. sure city safety comes first but they are installing security cameras on the subways. also the MNR and the LIRR has great safety already edit: yeah the park idea is ok, but i can sorta agree with you. Just I prefer it being reactivated as a subway instead of it being converted to a park

They Really Should reactivate the Rockaway Beach Branch instead of Building Stupid Queens way If you want to reduce Cars on woodhaven boulevard and Solve climate change then the Rockaway Beach branch is the Best option To encourage people to take Public Transportation and ditch their Cars and Know this because I Am a Mass Transit User of Subways and Buses it takes me a long time for me to wait for a Bus

Political powers and economics can only determine what comes next in this project. Central Queens has been a transit desert since and in Mayor Hylan's time, he envisioned it getting served. As much as the IND had ambitions to expand in this area, the dreams of achieving its extent is getting hampered yet again by political and economic forces. Queensway will only add more congestion on exisitng subway lines and more buses adding to congestion, hilariously enough. Who are we exactly serving in this city? Queenslink is the answer to reviving rail service on the right of way and serves everyone. This is cheaper and easier. Queens has enough parks. We need more transit in Queens.

@aqua2poweros699 Fr, you cannot look at crowding on the 7, or on the E,F,M,R in Queens, or Crowding on the 4,5,6, in Manhattan, or crowding on all the highways through the city, and just say we don't need new lines. We clearly need more lines, and buses just won't do.

Doing both is Queenslink. It's a subway and a park in one. Queensway has no train and only a park. The people behind Queensway basically don't want neighborhoods with POC being connected to the wealthier white neighborhoods. The Queensway founder got caught on video saying it.

No. Building a queensway does nothing but problems. First off, this might increase homeless people and crimes. Second, People are stressful for waiting local buses and Q52/Q53 select bus services during rush hours on weekdays. And Third, not enough people to clean all the way long queensway park. More New Yorkers vote for Queenslink for fastest way to get to the near destination, even though it will take years to re-build and cost billions of U.S. dollars.
