A waterfront light rail could be in Sunset Park’s future
Could a new ticket to ride be in Sunset Park’s future?
Friends of the Brooklyn Queens Connector — a nonprofit organization consisting of individuals in real estate firms, other businesspeople and transit experts — has done a study that proposes a light rail route to stretch along the waterfront for 17 miles between Sunset Park and Astoria, Queens.
As envisioned by the advocacy group, the line would connect to 10 other neighborhoods along the way as well as the already mass-transit-accessible Barclays Center, according to The Daily News, which broke the story.
