Assemblymember Phil Goldfeder toured the abandoned Rockaway Beach Rail Line to explore ways on how to restore service to the more than half a century old track in an effort to improve transit options that will cut the commute time down to 40 minutes or less for residents in Southern Queens and Rockaway. “The governor’s announcement that plans for the convention center are not moving forward will not slow down our momentum. This rail line will be an economic engine for the entire borough of Queens and it must be a priority,” he said.
