About the route
The proposed Q58 Limited runs westbound to Ridgewood and eastbound to Flushing.
The proposed length of the Q58 Limited route is 8.2 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 694 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,324 feet.
The route would include connections to the B7, B13, B26, B38, B52, B54, B57, Q18, Q20, Q23, Q25, Q26, Q27, Q29, Q38, Q39, Q44, Q47, Q54, Q55, Q59, Q60, Q67, Q72, Q88, and Q98. It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.
Route Improvements
- Interborough route
- Improved stop spacing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q58 route summary
The proposed Q58 would maintain its existing routing. However, Q58 service would be complemented by a new proposed Crosstown route, the Q98. The proposed Q98 would provide a more direct travel path from Ridgewood to Flushing, operating via Queens Blvd and Horace Harding Expwy from Queens Center Mall to Flushing.
To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q58 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance.
Frequencies would be decreased to reallocate some service to the proposed new Q98 Crosstown. Although Q58 frequencies would be decreased, the Q58 corridor (with the exception of Corona Av) would see a minor increase in combined Q58 and Q98 service. Service would still operate 24 hours.
