HUGE WIN! 🎉 Last night, Queens CB6 passed a resolution supporting BOTH Rails & Trails on the abandoned Rockaway Beach Branch!! More details to come...

.@thequeenslink would be a huge boost to the city's transit capacity and unlock more sites for transit-oriented development.
@NYCMayor has made improving performance and efficiency a core part of his governing agenda. He should embrace QueensLink to affirm that commitment.
QueensLink is a slam dunk for the entire city and easily fits into Mamdani’s affordability agenda. So why did he endorse the QueensWay plan instead? nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/08/…

There's an abandoned rail line in Queens. Two opposing advocacy groups have ideas about what to do with it.
@thequeenslink wants a park AND a rail line. @TheQueensWay wants a park WITHOUT rail.
@NYCMayor has decided to move forward with QueensWay, did he make the right call?

The QueensLink would reuse an abandoned 3.5-mile rail corridor in NYC, no expensive tunneling. At ~$3.5B, it’s one of the cheapest ways to expand the subway. Add upzoning near new stations and you unlock massive transit-oriented development. 160,000 new homes.
Why kill this?
If you build the trails first, the rail will never come. The only north south mass transit corridor in Queens will be gone forever. Our roads will continue to get more congested and parking more challenging. Queens let’s not blow this!

QueensWay should not come at the expense of QueensLink. For those who haven't been following this years-long debate, a translation:
A linear park is great — but not if it blocks future public transit on a rare existing right-of-way. Queens needs both rails and trails!

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Let your city and state leaders know YOU WANT QUEENSLINK. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/it…
Extremely disappointed in @NYCMayor for deciding to fund QueensWay, despite prior impassioned support for @thequeenslink. Please sign our letter writing campaign to let the mayor know, Queens needs Queenslink!

*When this is built, I want New Yorkers to take it for granted” that’s there a north-south train line in Queens, says Andrew Lynch, the chief operating officer of QueensLink.
“I want people to take this and never think about it”.

The Rockaways needs the transit benefits of QueensLink. Streetsblog contributor Samuel Santaella hopes the new mayor puts his weight behind the concept. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/…

Queens residents — especially those in the Rockaways — need another train line. Streetsblog contributor Samuel Santaella hopes that the new mayor will put his weight behind the concept. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/…
