Review the Q22 route summary
The proposed Q22 would be shortened on its western end and slightly extended on its eastern end. Due to low ridership, service on Rockaway Beach Blvd west of Beach 116 St would be discontinued. However, the proposed Q35 would be realigned to serve this segment of Rockaway Beach Blvd and extended to Beach 108 St, providing connections to the ferry and Scholars’ Academy, a short distance away. On its eastern end, the route would be slightly extended to the Far Rockaway LIRR station.
To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q22 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
Frequencies would be slightly adjusted in select time periods to match ridership patterns. Service would continue to operate during the same hours.
