HUGE WIN! 🎉 Last night, Queens CB6 passed a resolution supporting BOTH Rails & Trails on the abandoned Rockaway Beach Branch!! More details to come...
@thejoevisuals@Streetfilms QueensLink doesn’t go into Brooklyn. The IBX does. The IBX doesn’t go to the rockaways. This jpeg from a QueensLink presentation nicely lays it out.
@Streetfilms@thejoevisuals I remember when I moved down here I spoke to a prominent community leader about QueensLink and he was like “QueensLink? I’m trying to get them to get rid of the J!”
@thejoevisuals@Streetfilms I hear this all the time regarding Queenslink. Why do you need Queenslink if you have the IBX? Where I live in Richmond Hill, this is how long it takes from get to QL to IBX. That’s well beyond the distance to travel across Manhattan. I guess people don’t understand geography
@khnh80044 Been thinking of this song a lot lately. Iconic, masterful, even with one wrong note. Love the expression on his face when he makes it. We forgive you, Phil!
@JustinBrannan Ezra Klein asked Rick Rubin what his top three albums were. I listened to them today. Forever Changes by Love was a surprise.
What’s your top three?
.@thequeenslink would be a huge boost to the city's transit capacity and unlock more sites for transit-oriented development.
@NYCMayor has made improving performance and efficiency a core part of his governing agenda. He should embrace QueensLink to affirm that commitment.
@DanBiancoNYC@StreetsblogNYC@thequeenslink@TheQueensWay@NYCMayor Because QueensLink connects north and South Queens with one train access from the Rockaways through North Queens and into midtown, significantly reducing commuting times for those that have some of the longest commutes in the country.
There's an abandoned rail line in Queens. Two opposing advocacy groups have ideas about what to do with it.
@thequeenslink wants a park AND a rail line. @TheQueensWay wants a park WITHOUT rail.
@NYCMayor has decided to move forward with QueensWay, did he make the right call?
