Posted by trainsarefun on Sun Oct 12 14:08:40 2008, in response to Re: Q75 route question, posted by New Flyer #857 on Sun Oct 12 13:30:07 2008. I was trying to say that it's very, very possible to serve both Oakland Gardens and Queensborough CC, via (if I remember the name right) East Hampton Blvd (a two-way street that crosses Horace Harding right at the tip of Alley Pond Park.Going via E Hampton Blvd, though, is the most useless routing in the Oakland Gardens area; one side of the street is single-family homes and the other side is parkland south of the LIE, and then north of the LIE it's more single-family homes, with QCC still many blocks to the west. It just makes very little sense to send any bus route that way. The only route that makes sense through Oakland Gardens is via 73rd Av and Springfield Blvd. That goes along the main shopping corridors, and it also goes past the multi-family buildings in the area. Basically, the (few) people at the short segment of the current Q75 route east of Springfield Blvd would have to walk to Springfield Blvd under any feasible plan. After all, the problem with the current route endpoint is that it bypasses the heart of Oakland Gardens and the biggest trip generator in Oakland Gardens. |
