Overview
- The MTA set six in-person workshops across Brooklyn and Queens to collect feedback as part of the Interborough Express environmental review.
- The agency also posted new drone video that traces the proposed 14-mile route from the Brooklyn Army Terminal to Roosevelt Avenue in Queens.
- Plans call for transfers to 17 subway lines, 51 bus routes, and the Long Island Rail Road to speed trips that now require going through Manhattan.
- MTA modeling estimates about 21.8 million fewer car miles each year if the line opens, which would cut greenhouse gas pollution.
- Neighbors welcome better transit yet warn about tree loss, noise, odors from nearby freight trains, and station footprints along the shared corridor.
