The only access to the site itself from Roosevelt Av is near the subway tunnel portal, and that is to the parking garage, a structure that has too low of a clearance for buses. A developer would not "waste" valuable frontage on College Point Blvd itself for that type of use, so that leaves only 40 Rd for possible bus use. Perhaps integration could have occurred earlier, but I think it's too late now.The best site for a bus terminal is the municipal garage that is to soon be developed as Flushing Commons. A bus-only ramp (or ramps) from Union St leading to an underground terminal, along with passageways to the subway station (lined, of course, with rent-paying tenants of the development) would have been ideal. |
