Posted by SUBWAYMAN on Sun Jul 23 00:07:21 2006, in response to Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch, posted by The Port of Authority on Sat Jul 22 17:57:36 2006. I disagree. The ROW looks like it is big enough to handle heavy rail. Building LRT on the ROW would be a waste. Since there is a potential connection to the NY Subway in Ozone Park, why waste the money on Light Rail here? Queens can use a subway line to the airport utilizing the ROW (it would of course go underground in Rego Park before the LIRR Main line). Some of the planned Lower Manhattan-Jamaica/JFK trainsportation proposals would utilize the Rockaway line from Howard Beach to Atlantic Ave with a track connection to the LIRR Atlantic Ave Branch. |
