It will operate along Jamaica Avenue between 168 Street and Queens Boulevard stopping only at 160 Street and Sutphin Boulevard replacing the Jamaica Avenue subway line which was cut back to Queens Boulevard. Free Transfers are issued at that location to the subway trains. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

Always found it amusing that given the importance and cachet of Queens Boulevard, the only subway stop named for it was located at Queens Boulevard's smallest and most undistinguisted point.(OTOH, one of the first McDonald's in Queens was at the intersection of Queens Blvd. and Jamaica Ave. So perhaps not so undistinguished after all.) |

It was never widened, so it’s an ordinary two lane undivided local street. A mighty contrast from the rest of the road. Not only that, but it just abruptly drops off at Hillside, like they forgot to build the last block (this actually makes sense, though). |
