Posted by Osmosis Jones on Fri May 21 22:29:51 2010, in response to Re: Q 58 Limited, posted by BusMgr on Fri May 21 18:36:20 2010. While there are many people riding the Q58 along Corona Av destined for Flushing, that does not necessarily imply that all those passengers are actually originating their trips on Corona Av (many are coming from Queens Blvd).No, there are many Corona residents use the Q58 to get to Flushing as it's a major destination and transfer point. There is major development going on along College Point Blvd. At one time the roadway was lined with low rent industrial uses, but today it is lined with large residential condominiums and major commercial development. There should be a bus route along College Point Blvd between Horace Harding Blvd and Roosevelt Av (or even to Northern Blvd). College Point Boulevard brings little ridership to the Q58 and is in walkable distance to the Q20A, Q20B, Q44, and Q88. Main St is already well-served. It's not about serving Main Street its about connecting the other communities that the route serves with a major traffic generator in Main Street (like you said earlier in your post) adding turnover and ridership to the route. If not Q58 on College Point Blvd then what? Q65? I don't see the need for a College Point Boulevard route south of Northern Boulevard, but there are plenty of routes in Flushing that could be extended down College Point Boulevard (and not over-serve it like the Q58) should the Q58 stop serving it. |
