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

* A transfer passage would be constructed along the Jamaica Avenue El to connect the Brooklyn Manor station with the 104th Street station on the J.

What's so unfortunate is that when they abandoned the 102 Street Mezzanine at the 104th St station , they COMPLETELY removed it. That mezzanine would have been of great use if this ever panned out. It's the same thing they did at Junius St on the 3. They abandoned the Junius Street mezzanine (but at least it's not removed compeltely like it is at 104th St/Jamaica), because that would have been easy to connect to the L line at Livonia.

Anyway, back to the Rockaway line. it would make no sense to call that station "Brooklyn Manor" again, just because that is what the LIRR called it. It would make a lot more sense to call it "Jamaica Ave". The same with Parkside. That station would make more sense to call "Metropolitan Ave".
