A new Brooklyn light rail train line connecting the communities of Flatbush, Boro Park and Crown Heights within minutes and will provide a much-needed connection between Brooklyn and Queens.
Enter the “Interborough Express,” which would use an existing 14-mile right-of-way now used as a freight line between Bay Ridge in Brooklyn and Jackson Heights in central Queens.
It would run alongside the freight line except for a short distance in Middle Village in Queens, where it would run on street level. The new line would run along 61st Street in Boro Park and Ave H in Flatbush and Midwood.
The line would also easily connect with Crown Heights with the 2, 5 and 3 Lines and the Frum communities in central Queens (Kew Gardens Hills, Forest Hills and Kew Gardens). Standing at Ave J and Ocean Parkway, it would take an estimated 7 minutes to get to the Shomrei Shabbos Shul by 13th Avenue in Boro Park, and 25 Minutes to reach Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights (with a connection to the 3 line).
