Closing Bell: More Community Workshops for the QueensWay

Friends of the Queensway and the Trust for Public Land announced the second round of community workshops for the Queensway feasibility and planning process, the proposal to transform 3.5 miles of Long Island Rail Road tracks into a greenway. At the workshops, the QueensWay facilitators will present preliminary design concepts (wonder if they’ll look anything like these?), ideas contributed by residents during the planning workshops in November, and many other issues touching upon open space in Queens. Here are some issues that already came up in the series of community workshops held in November.

The first workshop of the month will be on Monday, March 24th from 7 pm to 9 pm. It’s at the Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School, 91-30 Metropolitan Avenue (that’s two blocks east of Woodhaven Boulevard). Make sure you enter through the yellow entrance. Workshop #2 will be on Wednesday, March 26th from 7 pm to 9 pm. That one is at the High School for Construction Trades, Architecture and Engineering, 94-06 104th Street (one block south of Atlantic Avenue at 94th Avenue). Both workshops are free and open to the public.
