Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch

Although it would never be done I think a better ROW for a transit or light rail line would be the old Vanderbilt Motor Parkway ROW in Queens. At least it's cleared, has overpasses, and best of all, it's East/West.

What about the Bay Ridge Line? It runs parallel to the heaviest portion of the B6/B6 LTD and could serve as a valuable transfer between Brooklyn's subway lines. It would branch off at Livonia, and terminate at 62/New Utrecht (no point in being redundant to the L or N lines). It would be served by either rerouting half of the L trains or extending the V train.
