Re: Queens-Brooklyn Light Rail (Was: Lower Montauk Branch Report)

Posted by ClearAspect on Mon Feb 12 20:02:22 2018, in response to Lower Montauk Branch Passenger Rail Study (Final Report 2018) could cost over $2 Billion, posted by gold_12th on Fri Feb 9 12:11:41 2018.

Ive been geeking out over such an idea for a very long time. Ive designed a light rail system for Queens and parts of Brooklyn that would take over various functions.

The first line would take over the LIRR Atlantic Avenue Branch
It would have stops at Atlantic Avenue Terminal
Nostrand Ave
Utica Ave
East New York
Woodhaven Blvd
Lefferts Blvd
Queens Blvd
Jamaica Station

The montauk branch would have the same stops as the proposed project

The airtrain from Jamaica would be coverted to light rail and stops would be made at
Jamaica Station
109 Avenue
Linden Blvd
Foch / Rockaway Blvds
Then lines would enter JFK terminal and loop 1 thru 8 or vice versa

A North-South Branch would extend the Howard Beach portion of the airtrain and then follow the A line and the old LIRR line with stations at
Casino
101 Avenue
Atlantic Avenue
Jamaica Avenue
(A connection would be built to the lower montauk branch)
Union Turnpike / Woodhaven Blvd
Metropolitan avenue
Yellowstone Blvd
Rego Park - Whitepot Junction

After Jamaica a branch would head out east on a new structure above the LIRR main line stopping at
York College - Guy R Brewer Blvd
177 st - Liberty Ave
Farmers Blvd - Hollis Ave
Francis Lewis Blvd
Queens Village
Hempstead Ave - Belmont Racetrack

Of course theres more but for now thats where Im at
