Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley held a meeting with community stakeholders last week to discuss progress on a Queens light rail that she’s been advocating for over the past year.

The proposal would run a commuter service along the Lower Montauk line from Jamaica to Long Island City.

“This meeting marked a pivotal step in the process of Jeux Gonflables Piscine making the QNS light rail a reality,” Crowley said. “Our borough is growing faster than city planners could have ever accounted for, and we need infrastructure that supports that growth. Light rail would bring reliable public transit to transportation deserts, get countless cars off the road, boost our economy, and help the environment.”

Crowley was able to secure $500,000 for a feasibility study of the rail line in the 2017 city budget. The study is managed by the DOT and conducted by engineering firm AECOM.
