Queensway _ a linear park for Queens
For more than 50 years, the old Rockaway Beach Branch Line has lain abandoned. During this time, trees have sprouted and matured along the former right-of-way, creating a dense canopy and a diverse habitat for birds and other wildlife. Today the Queensway represents a great opportunity for Queens. The thread of this green infrastructure could link the major parks of the area, offering a safer connection with recreation spaces (especially for the 73,000 kids living within 1 mile from the former RBBL) and commercial activities.
