Dear Friends of the Rockaway Beach Line and Queens Public Transit
Committee,
The QueensWay park plan is trying to stop us from having faster transportation for Queens.
They want to put a park on our right of way and stop the reactivation of the Queens Rockaway Beach Line forever.
Are you and your family tired of long, slow, overcrowded, dangerous, and unreliable buses, trains and roadways?
Are you tired of being treated like a neglected animal?
Faster transportation is the key to our our prosperity, more freedom and more opportunities.
This is your time to take action with our community. Fight for your family, and a better future.
Don't allow them to ignore and neglect us anymore.
We want to reuse the RBL for faster transportation for all of Queens and the City.
They want to stop us from growing and developing by destroying the RBL.
Development means increased economic and personal opportunities, employment, lower crime, better schools and roadways, increased neighborhood values, faster commutes, and a better quality of life.
Please tell your family and friends to attend this extremely important meeting.
We will meet Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Ozone Park Senior Center at St. Mary Gate of Heaven Church, 103-02 101 Ave. in Ozone Park.
Please confirm your attendance at 718-474-0315 or 718-679-5309
Come early and bring a poster. Make sure you get into the hall.
Our goal is not to protest or to be disruptive but to stand up and speak up for the reactivation of the RBL, faster transportation and prosperity for all.
Tell the NIMBYS we have a right to a better life for all of Queens.
See below article.
"The Trust for Public Land, the parks advocacy group that is studying the possibility of building a High Line-like park along the right of way of the Rockaway Beach Long Island Rail Road line, is holding three public workshops on the plan.
The first workshop will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Emanuel Church of Christ, 93-12 91 Ave. in Woodhaven. The second will be on Tuesday, Nov. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School at 91-30 Metropolitan Ave. in Forest Hills and the third will be on Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Ozone Park Senior Center at St. Mary Gate of Heaven Church, 103-02 101 Ave. in Ozone Park.
The Trust for Public Land says the workshops are “an opportunity for community members, business owners and interested individuals to share input and ideas on the design and programming of the QueensWay.”
Besides the park, there are some who want to reactivate the rail line and some, especially in Woodhaven and Forest Hills, who want to the right of way left alone."
