Dear Friends,
This is very Important Rally!!! Stand up against the stealing of our time and prosperity. Enough is enough!
Please
try your best to go to this QueensWay event and tell your family and
friends to fight for the Queens Rockaway Beach Line and faster
transportation. The QueensWay group is trying to stop the best opportunity to
reduce travel times, traffic, pollution and unemployment.
Do you want to travel 2 1/2 hours to cross over Queens by public transportation?
Now is the time to let the city know that there is a better alternative to Bus Rapid Transit on Woodhaven and that is to reuse the Rockaway Line so that precious road space is not reduced by 50% which is what will happen if bike lanes are included in this plan. 25% if they are not. Can cars afford to move any slower on Woodhaven during rush hours? Not everyone can take the bus which will operate along the same routes they do today. There are no alternate auto routes available in the area except for neighboring residential streets. Do we want the cars to use those streets for long distance travel?

Please bring a poster supporting the rail option for the Queens Rockaway Beach Line, the transportation plan.
