Friends of BQX exec discusses streetcar pros and cons
Ride along.
The Brooklyn-Queens Connector (BQX) — a $2.8 billion proposed streetcar that would stretch along the waterfront for 16 miles between Sunset Park and Astoria, Queens — continues to generate divided opinions.
The Friends of the BQX, an independent non-profit organization formed to advocate for the streetcar, has aided the proposal by launching a website and hosting several visioning sessions throughout the two boroughs, among other efforts.
