No, but the city does want to do SBS on Woodhaven and Cross Bay boulevards and has not made any mention of the unused rail corridor sitting just a couple blocks east of Woodhaven from Forest Hills down to Ozone Park. Also, there are those who say the rail line's condition has deteriorated so much over the past 53 years that it would be too expensive to bother putting rail back on it. Then there are those who say the r.o.w. is "too far" east of Woodhaven and points west to be well-used. I honestly don't think it's too far to be useful. I mean, we have the Brighton Line in Brooklyn which is very well-used and it's not directly on a major roadway. Neither are the Sea Beach or Dyre Ave lines and both of those lines get decent ridership. |
