    - Funnily enough I was just reading about that in the mta website. Still working on it, my guess is it’ll be operational some time in 2025. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 23, 06:24 8

        Nice to see it getting done in a reasonable time. - Krusty Sep 23, 06:47
      - Nothing more frustrating than being on an E or F express that is crawling down Queens Blvd due to 'train traffic ahead' -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 06:25 2
