I said in the last post:As for the issues in Southeast Queens, yes that also is needed, and I have said myself many times what I would do there extend the E/J/Z lines in Queens all the way to Belmont Park, where there could be a HUGE terminal/underground yard under the parking lot on the backstretch there that can also on big race days (i.e. Belmont Stakes Day for instance). This can make Belmont Park a huge park-and ride facility for those coming from Nassau County as well as be very attractive since by the time this was built, Belmont Park will likely be a "racino" with Video Lottery Terminals. I meant to say: As for the issues in Southeast Queens, yes that also is needed, and I have said myself many times what I would do there extend the E/J/Z lines in Queens all the way to Belmont Park, where there could be a HUGE terminal/underground yard under the parking lot on the backstretch there that can also on big race days (i.e. Belmont Stakes Day for instance) serve as a major loading facility for loading people on trains more efficiently than the LIRR trains there on those days.
