I forgot to add Fresh Meadows to my list as well. My "Tier A" list of Queens neighborhoods that would benefit the most from newly constructed rapid transit is: Fresh Meadows, Glen Oaks, and South Ozone Park. My "B Tier" list would be Cambria Heights and College Point.Glen Oaks is almost Nassau. Lots of closer-in unserved areas. Not really, with the exception of Fresh Meadows, every other neighborhood along a potential GCP/LIE subway to Glen Oaks would already have some form of rail transit serving it. My in-laws lived in South Ozone Park. Quick bus ride to the A at Liberty. South Ozone Park has not only one, but two potential subway ROWs already built in the Belt Parkway and Van Wyck Expressway that can provide much needed subway service to Southeastern Queens relatively cheaply within the next decade. Too bad the Port Authority would probably block anything down the Van Wyck, and the MTA seemingly has no interest in serving the Belt Parkway corridor. The Q10 is a quick ride to Liberty, but then you only get half (A) train service at Lefferts and have to wait forever. All (A) services stop at Rockaway Boulevard, but then the Q7 bus that takes you from there to South Ozone Park takes forever to come. Getting to South Ozone Park on transit sucks a lot more than it has to. |
