With Subway service extended from the Queens Blvd, Line I would recommend either the "V" train or the "R" train be rerouted from the 63rd Drive Station to the Beach 116th Street Station thus eliminationg the Rockaway Park shuttle. As part of this plan the train that gets extended down the Rockaway Line would not be able to serve the 67th avenue and 71st Avenue stations along the Queens Blvd. Line anymore. Big Deal. The 71st Avenue Station is also served by the "E" & "F" trains and the 67th Avenue Station doesn't get as many customers as the 63rd Drive and Woodhaven Blvd. local stations therefore one less train would not negatively affect the service to those two stations.

If the LIRR is instead extended south along the Rockaway Line the LIRR can operate trains from Whitepot Junction to terminate at a renovated Aqueduct Station. At the renovated Aqueduct Station an across the platform transfer between the northbound "A" Line and the LIRR could be provided. Southbound "A" trains would be a short distance away through various stairwells , escalators and elevator connections. For more information go to http://rockawaybeachline.org/
and hear our fearless leader Lew M. Simon.
