QBP RICHARDS ON GOVERNOR HOCHUL’S ANNOUNCEMENT OF PROPOSED “INTERBOROUGH EXPRESS” IN STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS

(January 5, 2022 at 2:20pm)

“The overall health of any urban community, especially one as large and diverse as Queens, is heavily dependent on the reliability of its public transportation system. But for far too many Queens families, and the communities they call home, the inability to travel between boroughs in a quick and efficient manner has been an unnecessary detriment to their economic vitality,” said Borough President RICHARDS. “While details are still forthcoming, I commend Governor Hochul for making improved outerborough connectivity a central theme of her State of the State address. By transforming the existing freight line running between Bay Ridge and Jackson Heights into a public transit option, we can connect thousands of Queens and Brooklyn families to new employment opportunities in each borough, while dramatically cutting commute times in the process. I look forward to working with Governor Hochul to make this plan a reality in the coming years.”
