Mayor DeBlasio and the Department of Transportation have begun meeting with the public in a series of “visioning sessions” to talk about the future of the BQX. I attended the first of these meetings in Astoria and it was certainly enlightening.
The proposed streetcar would connect Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Astoria, Queens with stops in Red Hook, The Columbia Street Waterfront District, The Brooklyn Navy Yards, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Long Island City and several other waterfront communities. You can visit the Friends of the BQX here to learn more about the plan being proposed.
