Metro-North, in conjunction with the Connecticut Department of Transportation is planning to add four new stations in the Bronx when it adds service along the Amtrak right of way from New Rochelle to NY Penn Station to its New Haven Line when the New Haven Line starts to have trains that serve Penn Station.
The Amtrak right of way also passes through Western Queens and not one station is being offered for Western Queens residents.
We the undersigned, call on Metro-North Railroad and the Connecticut Department of Transportation to add a station in Western Queens on its New Haven Line service which would operate along the Amtrak right of way to Penn Station.
As there are four proposed stations in the Bronx along the Amtrak right of way that are currently proposed.
A Western Queens stop would improve transportation for Queens residents who seek the Bronx, Westchester, and Connecticut by public transportation and would make commutes easier to Manhattan for Western Queens residents and would also encourage Western Queens as a destination for out of town visitors.
