Posted by B49 Limited on Wed Mar 10 10:33:15 2010, in response to Re: It's time for a Green Acres-Cypress Hill Rockaway Boulevard route, posted by Osmosis Jones on Tue Mar 9 17:10:48 2010. "Extend the Q9 down to 150th Avenue & 130th Street"Agree. Let it replace the Q 10 Rockaway Blvd Branch "Create a branch of the Q6 down 150th Street to Terminal 4 in JFK Airport" It should not be a branch but instead it should be streamline to replace the Q 7 portion to Cargo Area and terminal 4. The remaining portion of the route (to the Post office) should be replace by the Q7. This will be temporary for future service to Green Acres. "Create a branch of the Q110 that continues down Jamaica Avenue east of Jamaica Avenue & Hempstead Avenue." partially agree. The Q 36 and Q 110 should swap routes East of Hempstead Av. having a branch will duplicate the route. (Trying to do tihs by saving money) "Reroute the Q40 to the Merrick Boulevard & Archer Avenue area instead of Hillside Avenue." Disagree Q40 routing should remain the same. There is already too much traffic in the area, and the route serves both major subway lines on Suphin Blvd. "Reroute the Q2 so that it serves Jamaica Center instead of Hillside Avenue" Agree with the swapping of Q 36/110 that would now allow one bus to serve 179 St station and the other to serve the Jamaica/Parsons Station "Extend the Q112 to Broadway Junction, reroute it in Jamaica so that it serves the Jamaica LIRR Station and Jamaica Center before ending in the Merrick Boulevard & Archer Avenue area." I think it makes sense for the Q 112 to replace the B 12 in City Line but the MTA would not support it due to duplication and the Q 7 being nearby, but in terms of your Jamaica routing: What benefits would the Q 112 have if it serves the Jamiace LIRR station? Also its routing serves Jamaica Center already and terminates at the Parsons Blvd Station. So there is no need to change. "Create a branch of the Q35 to the Kings Highway subway station" No. Q 22/ 35 should be merged. Then extend the B 2 to Rockaway Pk. The new B 2 extension should operate rush hours only. other things I would suggest: Q111 Cederhurst rush hour service should be extended to Far Rockaway - Seagirt Blvd. The route should be extended along the old Q 113 LTD routing. Q1 and Q 43:Either eliminate Q 1 and keep the Braddock Av Branch of the Q 1 and streamline with the Q 43 route. (So both the New Q 1 and Q 43 buses terminate at Jamaica LIRR Station and Q 1 serves Queen Village and the Q 43 still remains to Floral Park) During Rush hours, make all Q 43 run limited stops, and all Q 1 will replace Q 43 local service. Q 21 and Q 41: Eliminate the Q 21. Extend the Q 41 to Arverne - B 108 St or all Q 53 buses make all stops in Broad Channel. Q55: Extend the Q 55 to 165 St terminal via Hillside Av. Here is some ideas for Jackson Heights/ LGA routes area Proposal#1: Combine the Q 32 with the Q 33/Q 47. The new Q 32 will serve the full LGA terminals (Central and Marine Air). The route will extend along the former Q 47 routing. To reduce delays some Q 32 will terminate at Queensboro Plaza or the former Jackson Heights Q 47 terminal. Q 29 will absorb the remaining portion of the Q 33 routing and terminate at Ditmars Blvd or LGA central terminal. Proposal #2: Combine the Q 32 and Q 33 routes with some buses terminating at Queensboro Plaza. Combine the Q 47 and Q 48 bus route, it would provide service from Flushing to Jackson Heights. Proposal#3: Combine the usage of buses for the Q 33 and Q 47 (I forgot the term but something similar to the S 55/56 setup I believe). |
