The rationale for north-south Queens travel ignores geographic and historic realities. The Terminal Moraine effectively separated Queens into two distinct regions. The regions developed at different times and from the west. Therefore, travel and economic patterns for the two regions are east-west rather than north-south. You are also ignoring the economic imacts [impacts] that this line would have to the surrounding areas in terms of new job opportunities The only areas close to the ROW that are not built up are already used as parks and cemeteries. The one area that might be used for development - Aqueduct Racetrack - is beyond the RBB's scope and already served by the A train. Aqueduct lies in the flood plain, so don't expect too much development there. |
