A once bustling railroad track is being transformed into a park in Queens. elijahwestbrook explores and has reaction from residents.
A once bustling railroad track may be turned into a park, similar to Manhattan's High Line.
There will be space for people to walk, run, bike and explore the great outdoors. It will connect folks to schools, businesses and 10 bus lines, according to the city. "It's a good idea to touch it up a bit and make it a better use of space, and having it behind the fence and decaying here," Forest Hills resident Vincent Ador told Westbrook.
That idea is not totally out of the picture. There are still ongoing talks of the space turning into the Interborough Express of Queenslink -- a subway line originating from the area that would terminate in southern Brooklyn.
