This is why so many residents of Queens have supported QueensLink, a proposed project that would extend the M train from Forest Hills to the Rockaways. The M train would parallel overcrowded roads like Woodhaven Boulevard and the Van Wyck Expressway, providing commuters with a much faster option. Diverting the M train to the Rockaways, however, would allow MTA crews to turn an additional nine trains per hour. QueensWay would place the park and a pedestrian path exactly where the MTA would need to lay rails for QueensLink. This way, in the very likely event that QueensLink is needed, $43 million doesn’t go to waste and QueensLink doesn’t get stuck in political purgatory.
