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

I generally agree.

This might be an exception.

Another exception -- mind you, I'm biased here, since I'd find this particular line very useful myself -- might be a light rail line from the Sheepshead Bay subway station (inside fare control) across the Bay and along the waterfront to the KCC campus.

What I am definitely opposed to is light rail that runs on streets most of the way. Especially in Manhattan, where such proposals invariably ignore the multitude of bus routes that typically run along the corridor. Are you going to convert all of them to light rail, or are you going to leave some of them on the newly narrowed roadway?
