Description
Description | The QueensWay is a proposed linear park on a decommissioned rail right of way in south-central Queens, New York City. The project is controversial because it may block or complicate the future construction of the QueensLink transit project, which aims to reactivate rail service on the same corridor. The QueensLink project proposes rerouting the M train through a tunnel near the Metropolitan Hub, which is planned as part of the park. Similar projects in Maryland and Georgia have faced delays and failures when attempting to restore transit on rail-to-trail converted corridors. |
