Posted by gbs on Sun Aug 21 20:02:16 2022, in response to Re: Rode Queens Blvd yesterday, posted by VictorM on Sun Aug 21 16:56:41 2022. Thanks for the correction, I was a block off. Here's a revised version of the original post: The suspended walkway may be "creative", but it makes exiting the station very annoying. The stairs and elevator from the platform to the mezzanine are near the south end of the platform, so if you exit the train near the rear, first you have to walk the length of the platform to the stairs there. Then when you reach the mezzanine, you're not near either exit to the street. If you want Jamaica Ave you have to walk along that walkway, backtracking towards where you got off the train. If you want 89 Ave and Jamaica Hospital, you have to walk through a long tunnel further south. The problem is that the station platform ought to be located between Jamaica Ave and 89 Ave, but it's not, it starts north of Jamaica Ave and doesn't reach 89 Ave, so the two street exits don't line up with the platform and there's lots of walking involved. Entering at Jamaica Ave presents the opposite situation. You're at the start of the overhead walkway and see your train below, but you can't get to it because there's no stair there to the platform. Instead you have to walk along that walkway to the fare control further south, missing your train along the way. |
